But only little more than six months

letter from him upon the stationery Of

upon some Of your notions about flying

This eighteen-year-old lads letter

SHAW POINTS OUT
MISTAKE MADE BY
THE ALLIED POWERS

London. April zS.-There's q certain
cowardice in being afraid to discuss
peace. in the view of G. Bernard Shaw,
novelist, dramatist, critic, essayist-
and pacifist. Because his views at this
discussing the Stockholm reports of So
cialist efforts for peace are of partic-
ular interest. the United Press today
asked him what he thought Of the sit
uation.
THE alarm thus created" he said,
discussing the Stockholm reports Of So
cialist conferences, lis in consequence
of the mistake made by all anti Ger
man belligerents, except President VIII
son, of not announcing at the outset
that they were DESTROYS of peace and
were open at any moment to proposals
to end the horrors of war.
1.-THE Germans first saw the moral
advantage OF this position and declared
they were ready to discuss peace. 1t
was the allies business thereupon to
Guido the Germans and to represent
themselves as willing to sacrifice ev-
erything except honor and reasonable
security for peace. Unfortunately, they
gave way to re-panic lest a handful of
helpless pacifists-most Of whom were
in prison-should instantly stop the
war, leaving Germany in possession of
her conquests.
Their reply, which enabled Germany
to denounce them as moral outlaws
was expressed in the manner of
gang frightened by clustering pirates.
instead Of civilized statesmen engaged
in a crusade.
"The Stockholm scare is part of the
same panic of cowardice that would
sacrifice everything for it. but it isn't
respectable"

The subject Of the inspiring sermon
was Finishing the Furrow." Mr.. Mar
tin held that the dream of the night is
over and that the lark of duty calls to
labor and to SERVICE" After referring
to the world as a place to pillow, saying.
THE tractor Of humanity's hopes and
needs is hitched to the pillow of sacri-
fee" he declared, I'VE find the weeds
of hate and lust are threatening to
usurp the place of confidence and fair
dealing. These must be plowed under.
There must be blowing ere the good
seed can find q chance to grow"
POINTS OUT DANGER.
Pointing out the danger threatening
the nation, he said: LAS a nation we
have not been tested for over half a
century and as a result we have grown
careless. We need to grid up our
loins. We have let a few folks do our
political thinking. 1t is time to quit
that sort Of thing. If we are going to
fight for democracy we must believe
enough in 1t to exercise the preroga-
tives of free men. We have got to rea-
lie that bossism in democracy is Just
a. discreditable and just as dangerous
and a good deal more costly than
Caesarism in an autocracy. If we are
fighting for every race to have a place
in the sun, then we must see that every
American has a bit of sun. If we are
to contend with any force for a world
that shall be neighborly. we must see
