England's Independent
Writer, HI. G.. Wells, Is
Again On the Rampage

There is no more independent writer
today than the Englishman H. G.. Wells.
Every time he takes his pen in hand
he writes something that stimulates 70
thought, if not to bitter discussion.
Just at present a novel of his is being
issued in serial form that is bound TO
provoke much argument on both sides Of
the Atlantic.
1t will do so especially in England,
where despite its essential democracy.
the country still retains the gilded figure
head of kingship and where, despite re-
ligous tolerance, the established church
still retains its great power and priv
ileges.
For Wells is proclaiming in this new
piece of fiction that out of this war will
come an era Of republics and an age of
religion that will transcend the narrow
confines of creed.
Wells tried to project himself into
space and view this our world from afar.
In this frame of mind he is optimist
rather than pessimist.
He sees an end to kings and thrones.
No more will few dynasts be able to
say whether the world shall be plunged
into bloody war or remain in blessed
peace.
The peoples will take unto themselves
the power and the government.
In the same way, he has vision of
what is coming in the religious field.
There will not be less belief in God, but
more.
However, he advances the theory that
the new belief in God will not allow itself
to be confined by sects and creeds.
1t will be something bigger, something
broader, something more tolerant, some
thing more of the spirit Of the Christ
in it than anything we have known since
Jesus ceased to preach in the Holy Land
Coming from a man who was once
rated as an agnostic, coming from a
man stirred to his deeps by the awful
world-tragedy Of which he is an unhappy
witness. this message is sure 20 be the
theme of many an angry sermon.
But Wells will be happy
He will have stirred men to think. anc
that after all is the greatest duty of the
writer who cares more about progress OIL
the world than the size of his own banl
account.

Aim of This Society Is
That Democracy Shall Not
Perish From the Earth

AS we are embarked in a war to make
the world safe for democracy, it is above
all things necessary that the American
people shall safeguard democracy at
home.
Democracy is the only sure foundation
for loyalty, and free discussion in no way
hinders the prosecution of just cause.
In order to provide opportunity for the
American people to discuss from all
standpoints the conduct and aims of the
war, an organization started in New
York, under the craftsmanship of David
Starr Jordan and having on its roll some
of the best known names among the
ministers, professors, scientists and pro-
fessional men of the country, held one
meeting in New York, May 80, and will
hold another in Chicago. July and 8.
1t is hoped by those interested that
this conference will further the organi-
zation Of the Peoples Council of Amer
lea in the middle west, and all organiza-
tions associated for any public purpose,
be it peace. war, education or reform are
asked to send delegates.
The conferences are for discussion, not
for action; and such resolutions as may
be adopted will be discussed by the whole
body before being put to the vote.
II is the opinion of those interested
that democracy cannot endure without
freedom of discussion and that freedom
of discussion cannot be maintained un-
less people are given an opportunity to
present their views.
If the Peoples Council is formed from
these conferences its purposes will be {:
To secure an carly, democratic and
general peace, in harmony with the prin-
cjples outlined by New Russia. namely
