The University of War

THREE years ago yesterday the world be-
gan to lay down the working tools of peace
and to seize the weapons of universal war
The doors of the university of war have been
flung open to all the advanced nations and
races Of humanity. And all the quckening
souls of men have within these thirty-six
months of the greatest drama of humanity
passed through sensation after sensation, and
emotion after emotion. and these souls are
beginning to reach conception of them
selves and the soul of the world. Men are
being made over; human society is being
uprooted from its very foundation, and the
world is being transformed psych oogically
as we'll as physically But va are still burn
ing in the fires Of the process. and know not
what the war is going to make of us. How
ever, some of the results are in sight.
The war has already given 5OO.00O,00 Of
the human race new sense of mental and
physical freedom. 1t has put new conscious
ness in the body of the Russian peasant; it Is
melting to bitter tears Teutonic pride self
conceit and egotism; it is browning France
with the glory of ancient Greece; it is MAX
ing Britain gentle and responsive in her
trident strength, and 1t is causing America
to break the bonds of isolation and to reach
out with her sword to save the human race
to democracy and freedom.
By the war woman is certain to gain a new
rung in the ladder OF her evolution. Every
tho sword hilt, and men feel her presence
and power as never before. They see her
more as soul than as a sex. Behind the
field of blood she comes as a master in
white cap.
The war has destroyed untold millions of
men and countless fruits of toll, but at the
same time it has magnifed the economic
value of life 1000 per cent. and it has made
human labor the greatest Godgiven oppor-
tunity of man and human efficiency thing
not only to be striven for, but to be wor-
SHIPPED as religion. 1t has made men de-
stroy that they might learn to save; 1t has
made them die that they might learn to live
In the university of war nothing but war
is taught. but out Of the teaching will come
for peace a complete mastery of the air and
a new mastery of the sea. new surgery and
a new agricultural chemistry. Out of its
bloodstained structure will come new litera-
ture and new art. for out of the memories
and suffering of this world tragedy there
will come millions of men with new sense
of right and wrong, new sympathy for their
fellows.

The DAY will come! This humble homo
And all Its love shall cease to be:
It's tenants will have gone to roam
Their pathways to eternity.
The vines will go their truant Was
And riot off with weed and rose.
Or climb the beaten door that sways
In every vagrant wind that blows.
The summer winds. coquettish, bold,
Will wander in. that way and thus,
But find no curly locks of gold
To trifie with, nor brow to kiss.
The suns bright beams will cross tho
sill,
And search each musty corner, then,
When naught but silence greets them,
will
AS softly steal away again.
The birds will call from yonder hedge
And wait for Chlldhood's sweet reply,
Then, hearing none, they sorrowfully
VIII hush their song and wonder
why.
And yet know when comes the day,
Some sentiment will linger near
TO make the stranger pause and say,
AYE. Love was once a tenant here.

his evident objective is to push the Germans

A serious objection has been raised to the
issuance Of buttons indicating the fact that
the wearer has been called and expressly re-
lieved Of military service 1t is contended
that such plan will work discrimination
against the millions of reCistrants whose
names will not be reached. and who there
fore, will have nothing to show what their
position in the situation may be. Certainly
the man who may be exempted has nothing
to feel proud OF in that connection. Why
should the War Department wish to adver-
tise him as unfit to fight? Tho exempted
registrant should be given certificate OF
some sort which will show that he is not a
Stacker. but there is no occasion for decorat-
ing him with a pacard or badge.

One of the great scourges of the war,
more especially so far France is concerned
is tuberculosis. DR.. Biggs, writing in the
American Journal of Medicine. states that
there are now in the French army alone
10000 clearly developed cases of tubercu-
losis and only $4,000 beds for their treat
ment. The reason for this great prevalence
OF tuberculosis in France is that at the be-
ginning Of the war French physicians did not
consider the disease communicable, and this
blunder of medical science has cost France
dearly in the war. In Britain and America
this mistake avoided and in consequence
ample provision will be made for segregat-
ing and treating every case of tuberculosis
that may develop.

tory may result in expelling the Germans
from France and Belgium. This is called
the biggest battle Of the war, but its right
to that title will depend on what follows.
Indeed, one OF the decisive battles of the
world may be taking place, SO far as the
entente peoples are concerned. With the
very important submarine base at Zeebrugge
smashed, the U-boats can be driven back to
the German coast on the North Sea, and 1t
is believed at tho British Admiralty Office
that they can be bottled up there by the
British navy.
