we find ourselves confronted with In

Presents New Phase
"This country presents for the first
time q nation entering conflict not
for the conquerinE OF territory--not for
avenging any wrong against the gov
eminent. but solely in defense of de-
mocrncy," said Dean Stone. Mil
lions of women and men have been
lost and millions in money and prop
erty have been destroyed but that il
an insignificant phase in this great
war. The real loss that will be seen is
in the destruction Of ideals. Out of
the ruins of cities new cities will arise.
To replace the men and women slain.
new men and women will come. New
ideals must succeed the ideals ruth.
lessly destroyed and we must see that
the ideals are higher than those that
existed before"
Need to Prepare for Peace.
In the preparation for the recon-
struction. ask yourselves whether this
war has not emphasized the need of
preparedness for war;"
According to Mr.. Stone the league
to enforce peace would act as an in
ternational vigilance committee that
would make laws II there were none
to fit q situation and enforce the laws.
Mr.. Stone put a new construction on
the gospel story of the good Samari-
tan who rescued the traveller from
the Il. w. W." and said that it would
have been a good idea if he had gone
out with a club and cleared the road
to Jericho.
Mr.. Stone declared that the entire
duty of the nation, does not lie In
giving its money and voluntary serv-
ice. both of which, II has bestowed
generously, but in developing the real
national spirit.
1t is to the high schools and col
leges to whom the nation must look
for the development OF the real ma.
tional spirit" he said. I'VE can not
be partners in the building Of a nation
unless we raise the ideals and keep
them before the young people OF the
schools"
Should Not Criticize Others.
Dean Stone warned Americans
against criticizing aud laughing at the
crudities of other nations, for instance
the new Russia, when our own coun.
try Is far from free OF strikes and
disturbances such as the East st.
Louis race riots.
we, too, had better clean house"
he said. Civilization Is fighting for
life against absolutism and anarchy.
Civilization Is not saved until both
are defeated. No one can hesitate in
accepting his share of the national
duty. This war will either be sue
ceeded by a brighter day or by a
darker night"
In the opinion OF Mr.. Stone, much
81 the reconstructive responsibility
'ests with the American teachers, lie
emphasized the new conditions that
he war has brought about that give us
courage to proceed In the new work
the new Russia that has arisen and
he wiping out Of the artificial boun-
larry lines between nations.
New Condition Awaits,
After the war, when the hetero.
seneous mass OF immigrants pours
nto the melting pot of America, we've
got to know how to conserve our in
1nstrial and economic resources to
meet this condition"
