years ago. What an absence Also or
imagination Is shown! The simple fact
Is that except I'm rare individuals the
German people us a race have no i'm
agination. There Is no German school
OF art-there never has been. The mas
ters are Italian. French. Dutch. Span
ish and English. Many of the great
German masters of music are Hebrew.

other German poets.
, New World Ideals Arc unifying the
Races.
The new ideals for the world after
the war is over are influencing ard
drawing men together. Already great
men are planning for the rebuilding OF
Europe. just rs the men of Chicago
and San Francisco drew their plans for
more beautiful city before the ashes
were cold after the great fires so tie
patriots and statesmen are dreaming
their dreams OF n new social order
They have highly resolved that this
horror shall never he repeated Never

cannon preparatory to pursuing war us
national industry that she can make
pay thousand per cent. The free pco.
pies of the earth, represented by over
twenty republics, now control nine
tcnths of the land and LOO. 100000 OF
people. The motto of the free peoples
is Liberty, independence. self govern
mcnt. They hold war to be an out
rage against civilization and the enemy
OF the home, the store, the factory, the
Iic!d and the bank. War hates art;
war hates the temples OF beauty, of
love and religion; war is as cruel as
death and as rcmorscless as the grave.
war also Is an outrage upon humanity.
In Gcrmany's hymn of hate there are
the poison OF the rattlesnalie. the snarl
of the hyena. the cruelty OF the savage
Future International Unity.
Already the free peoples are prcpar-
ing plans to colapcl peace At last all
the self governing nations stand to-
Scthcr. They propose to have an inter
national navy policing the seas; an in
t"rnational army policing the land; an
intcrnationa! supreme court that in
terms of international law shall decide
upon disputes between Germany and
lic!gum. No more standing armies;
never again shall Gcrmnny's army and
Ecrmany'S drcadnaughts compel other
nations to boar huge taxes to protect
themselves against Germany. KaiScrs
and cmpcrorS and sultans and Won
llindcnburgS must go. The world has
no room for such men. God never
made II man who had Il right to AFRO
gate TO himself what the kaiser claims
-- the right to tell editors what they
shai! p"hiSll, rcformcrs what they shall
think. orators what they shall say.
From this time on any attempt on the
part of Germany or Austria to build
UP standing army and prepare for
war is going to be taken as n dcclara-
tion of war in advance, and the whole
force of the 1,10O,0G0,00O of free and
self governing people will unite to put
down the beginnings of Il standing
army. MI our statesmen are planning
for nOnmilitary coercion. If Germany
again attempts miitarism the free pco-
pics viii shut her ships out of all har-
horS, close all clearing houses to her
drafts. prohibit the buying OF her goods
or selling her goods to others and, like
Cain, send her out as an outlaw into
the desert.
Better Days to Come.
But better days are coming. Soon
our boys will be ut the front while all
defend the liberties that all have cn-
Joycd. 1t may be that we will leave 81
million of our best sons on the hill
| sides Of France and with red rain feed
the roots OF the tree of liberty. With
out shedding of blood there Is no re
mission of sins. We buy ut great price
freedom of our childrcn's children, but
soon or late the battle will be over and
