Democracy at War.
"a democracy making war is
never an agreeable sight, for 1t is
not in it's normal line of life. And
those who sneer or jeer because it
does not play the game as well as
might be, pay an unconscious COM
pIiment to the merits Of free in
situations. 1t takes time to accus-
tom men to the short, hard words Of
command, and to the surrender OF
personal judgment. It is not easy,
either, for nation to turn its back
upon the conception of q work where
justice works out its ends by quiet
processes, and in its stand come to
the stern belief that the ultimate
court is a battle field. So If there is
wrenching and side-slipping and
confusion there should be no sur
prise. The surprise to me has been
with what comparative ease the
transition has been made, and how
much unconscious preparation for
the new work had been already
made.
snow, that our problem is to pro-
duce more than ever before, it is
clearly to be seen that the physical
resources Of the United States are
today almost completely at the
command OF the worlds needs. If,
indeed, for the past forty years the
nation had been planning to make
war upon it's neighbors, and so seize
the continent for itself, what more
would have been done to make our
resources available for such an
adventure? This is. perhaps, the
hardest test to which the problem of
our internal development could be
/ put. Yet the answer must be that
very little more could have been
done or would have been done by a
people necessarily doing so much.
But this war is not to be won by
the measuring OF resources, for If
wars were to be so won China pos
sibly would be our only rival. The
spirit Of the people is the making Of
the nation, in war as in peace. The
extent to which q people can coop
crate marks the point Of civilization
they have reached.
Trustees OF Ideals.
Men are already thinking of the
greater America that they believe to
be coming when the war is done. We
are in this war as the trustees OF So
cial and political ideals, most OF
them uniformed, even embryonic, and
these we hope to realize through the
strength of the nation. Our nation
alism, intense, virile, and of the
| fighting kind. is a part OF the ma
chinery through which we are work
ing to make all men our debtors.
Our national purpose is to transmute
days OF dreary work into happier

others in their time. This is the

ways in charge Of this bureau and
with her are associated women who
speak the languages which predomin-
ate in the camps. This bureau is
thus able to minister to the many
needs Of the foreign women and
girls.
Fourth, work for colored girls. AS
many Of the camps are in the south
and as many colored girls are
coming north to work in factories,
there is a greater need than ever be-
fore for work among this group Of
girls. To extend its work for color
ed girls the national association has
increased its staff of colored sec

MORE LINCOLN LESS VIRGIL

One of the great problems that Uncle Sam will sooner or later be called upon to settle is, How to Americanze the thousands of foreigners constantly coming to our shores. !" We believe that the schools will prove the greatest factor in unifying. The following from the Saturday Evening Post is step ir the right direction.
 Preaching the use of the English language is one of the prime objects of public school instruction Lincoln was one of the masters of English.
 His simple, luminous sentences, which go as straight as bullets, are models for the pupil that can not be improved upon. School instruction seeks to form and strengthen a pu- pill reasoning powers.
 To follow Lincoln $ mind throuhg his sgreat controversies is an education ill relso ing that no classical example surpasses.
