Notable English Early War Comment

will not endure wrong because they would
regard il as sin. We want to take that PRIDE
the soldier feels in the possession of his
gun. that erect posture of body and soIl
which can be seen as the outcome of his
training, and substitute for it PRIDE IN the
tools of labor, be they the miners pick, the
surgeons knife or the weaver's loom
"The Englishwoman," the most serious OF
the organs of the feminist movement in
England, discusses the war situation in the
same radical tone of race conscience that
characterizes Mr.. Lansbury's utterances
In an editorial announcement, in the issue
for September, the editors, who include
Miss Frances Balfour, Miss Mary Lowndes
and other well known British FEMINIST
names, inform us that the non-mllltant
wing of the British suffrage workers, rec
ognizing that at the present moment the
first aim of all British subjects must be
TO prosecute a just war to its appointed
end and to guard so far as is possible
against the poverty, sickness and other
evils which every war brings in It's traln'
have decided to suspend for the present
advocacy of the enfranchisement OF women
and to cooperate as far as may be IN the
general movement Of women to play the
part Of citizens"
"For the present" the editors of THE
Englishwoman" announce, their magazine
will be used to give publicity, so far as
lies in its power, to forces, schemes and
methods of relief work, and will endeavor
70 represent the opinions of the large num-
Der of women who feel to the full the nor
yors of war, who ardently desire peace
hut who vet would not buy it at the price
Of honor"

American Sympathy

In an editorial "The Review of Re-
views" in November, 1914. observed:
"If American public opinion has shown
marked sympathy with the cause OF the AL
lies as against Germany, it is not through
anv lack of good will for the German people
or friendly desire for the permanent well
fare and prosperity of the German nation
Il ;s because Germany seems to have over
plaved her miltarism and unduly wof-
shipped her ideal of the dominant German
nationality, so that she has seemed 70 lose
q lust sense of the sscredness of other peo-
ples' rights in the world. For example there
is not the slightest indication that there is
a single soldier, statesman, diplomatst,
Journalist or scholar in all Germany VINO De-
lieves for moment that there is any SIN
ceritv in the English pretence that the rights
of Belgium are what led Britain INTO the
war
"All Germans seem to believe that England
mas seized an opportunity to support france
and Russia in Gripping Germany, with the
object of promoting British imperial aud
commercial interests. In America feeling
for the cause of Belgium is so sincere and
deep that there are many who believe that
under the Hague treaties, we should have
Joined in formal protest against the viola
ton of Belgian neutrality. The motives
that impel nations to war are not always
easy to analyze.
"But the Germans are mistaken in failing
70 attach value to the expressions of many
Englishmen who have felt it obligatory upon
England to stand by the guarantee Of Belgian
rights. When sound and just insti-
,rtions Of world federation are established
IL will be desirable to multiply, rather than
10 diminish, the number OF nations govern
ing themselves while enjoying friendly rela-
tons with those about them"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-29
A Wartime Family Circle

"The tragedies of the war have come nearer
70 us here in America in the last two years
than we have perhaps realized. This group
of women whose husbands are fighting in the
armies Of our allies is not a small one. In
New York alone there are 500 families Of
Italian reservists VINO have gone backto fight.
In the New York district, including New
England and New Jersey, there are still 600
French reservists' families, though 900 others
have gone back 10 France to live. The British
consulate in New York is caring for $50 fam
lilies in New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut whose men are on the other side
fighting.
"These families certainly deserve special
synpathy, for they have many Of them faced
anxiety without kin or neighbo-hood ties to
comfort them"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-29
The End Of the War Set Only
Three Months Distant

"All those issues will be more or less
definitely decided within the next two or
three months. By that time, believe Ger
man Imperialism will be shattered, and IL may
be possible to anticipate the end Of the srma-
ments phase Of European history.
France, Italy, England and all the smaller
powers Of Europe are now pacific countries.
Russia, after huge war, will be too ex-
hausted for further adventure. Shattered
Germany will be revolutionary. Germany will
be as sick of the uniforms and imperialism
idea as France was in 1871, as disillusioned
about predominance as Bulgaria is to-day.
The way will be open at last for all these
Western powers TO organize q peace.
THAT is why I, with my declared horror
Of war, did not sign any Of these stop the
war appeals.
Declarations that have appeared in the
last few days are that every sword is drawn
against Germany Now is the sword drawn
for peace"
