When War is EnnObled
Baltimore Sun.


Men have been dying by tens of
thousands in that most terrific of bat
ties which has been raging night and
day in France, almost without cessa-
ton, since the Allied offensive began
on April 9. And we shudder as we
think of the bloody price of war. But
we should shudder still more if there
could be in our minds, as there must
be in the average German mind, a
doubt of the justice of our cause.
We can thank Heaven devoutly that
we go forth to this contest without
spot upon our hands, or a stain upon
our shield, on the most knightly and
unSelflsh mission a people ever un-
dertook. War for an evil purpose is
devilish; war for a great and good
purpose and noble anc ennobling both
to individuals and to nations. We
cannot emerge from this save with
a cleaner and stronger national obli-
cation to the world, save with loftier
and purer standards of citizenship
among ourselves. The inspiration of
great motive is already spreading
from heart to heart and from mind
to mind, and in a comparatively short
time we have grown immensely in
ethical and spiritual stature.
1t is something to be proud of, this
new birth of the nation, and We
should think that even the most con-
firmed of pacifists would be glad to
be baptized in this regenerating flood.
The creed of the evil war is conquest,
cruelty, greed, selfishness, oppression,
hate. The creed of the good war is
absolutely the reverse of all these
Here are the things for which a wal
such as We have embarked in stands
! for:: Right, justice, courage, faith
