Fruits of War

And Russia is to become a repub-

to fight one another. There is no
place for true brotherhood except
in a democracy, and there humanity
takes the lead. The question has
been much discussed how to end the
bloody conflict and keep us from hav-
ing another one. The answer is
piain-make republics out of the ma
tons. 1t is terribly risky to have
the lives of the people hanging to the
whims of royalty and its lazy diplo-
macies. Entrust the people with

Another Investigation of LiUing Costs

President Wilson has directed the

need not expect a letter of commen
dation from the liquor camp. Every

they needed q little exercise, they
took a fall-out with John Barleycorn

was actually cruelty to animals the
way they kicked and cuffed the old
fellow about.
And there were plenty of liquor
lobbyists on the ground, too. Posi-

caused every whisky barrel and beer

The menu was wheat less, in conformity with the request of the national food administration. In addition it was liquorless. At its close, the distinguished Briton re- ceived a welcome lasting several min utes when he arose to speak.
 q am one of those who say quite plainly. and believe absolutely that we are only at the very beginning of this strange and mysterious thing that is passing over the world" he said. Every person who thinks the war is approaching its close very naturally diminishes his or her ardor in the prosecution of the war. Thisis a war of the many behind the army. In the old days a war was chiefly fought by soldiers. Today, it is achieved by loan subscriptions. mechanics. controllers of great intuition plants. farm pro- ducers and and in my own country very largely by women who have taken up mans work.
 sometimes my friends here tell me they, think the people are not yet suf- ficiently earnest about the war. But I have found tremendous enthusiasm in the United States for the war and a gradual understanding of the fact that it is in essence a world revolu- ton. In your American cities you have a capacity for getting together for combination that we have not yet learned l have found no lack of en- tnusiasm anywhere in this country. Here today, a city I am told whic'I has German population equal to Dus- seldorf. I have witnessed an enthu- siasm that is inspiring
