NE MENACE OF wan.

Editor Ell Paso Herald;
As never before, all are looking
forward to the time when they hope
the menace of war shall be de-
stroyed.
England and France, for example,
see that the only hope OF peace is to
crush Germany so completely that she
viii not be able to threaten them
again for a generation to come at
least
David Starr Jordan and others have
another way. 1t is world court of ar
bitration. the supreme court Of the
nations. where every question ordi
narily settled by war shall be settled
once and for all by the supreme die
tators OF world affairs
The Socialists believe world coali-
ton promises that there will be no
more wars. but they had enough men
in every nation pledged to stand as
brothers against war when this was
broke out Brothers must not fight:
they all are a mighty union, and If
any nation declares war. we will de-
clare a strike on the war, and make
1t impossible" they said When wars
alarms sounded. the German So
cialists rallied to war. forgot Social
ism to fight English, French and Rus
sian Socialists. The big strike was
never declared. Shall we blame them
for love of country We are given q
grand example of the failure of So
cialism to destroy the menace Of war.
In the United States, the hope OF
destroying the menace is to be pre-
pared. This is not new A prominent
ruler OF one of the nations Of Europe
is credited with having said not long
ago that after this war the nations
viii prepare mCre thoroughly than
ever for wars eventualities. He is
quoted as saying that the nations viii
not forget the lessons OF Belgium:
that II is SwftZerland's and Holland s
effective soldiers that saves them
from the war; that the only safe
guard is to be prepared This his
been the talk for generations.
The only logical way Of destroying
the menace Of war is to get at the
cause Of it
Now the remedy is this: "who is
wise and understand among you, let
him. by his good life, his works in
meekness OF wisdom, for where Jeal-
ousy and faction are, there is confu-
sion and every vile deed But the wis
dom that is from above is. first, pure,
then peaceable, gentle, easy to be
entreated. full OF mercy and good
fruits. without variance, without hy-
pocracies and the fruits Of righteous
ness is seen in peace for them that
make peace-"-James 3.151S-
Remember the words OF Jesus
blessed are the peacemakers: for
they shall be called the sons Of God
There may be what is considered
righteous wars, or wars OF self de-
fence. but always there is some one
who is invading. else there would be
no need Of self defence Why the in
vasion? We must go back TO the
scriptures we have quoted. There is
onlv one means Of destroying the
menace Of war. and that is to accept
the principles OF righteousness as re-
vealed in the Bible 81 A Carter.
