PACIFIsT ERRORS.

y 7 s pity that at the present time, when the conn
try is approaching the greatest crisis in its history
there should exist within its borders shortsighed
body OF men as those who preach the doctrine OF
national non-resstance
That national pacifsm, at this period OF the worlds
development is founded upon fallaoy should be ap-
parent TO all who think That il not so apparent to
few may be readily shown to be due to a lack of ap
probation OF relative values else to an Interior mo-
tive which, in final analysis spells treason to the
country
The true pacifst is who will not admit that any
hing exists which is worth the sacrifice human life
IN war and that the sacrifice OF life in nonrosisance IN
war is worth while because OF its reactiye effect
1t is true that this is at the base OF Christianity
and as an appeal TO the better side OF man has worked
wonders in the regeneration OF the world BAit II is
also true that the Christian nations would never have
preserved their ideals had they been unwilling to fight
against the barbarian hordes that threatened from m
to time, TO overwhelm them
This. then. is the fallacy of pacihsm: It is an as
sumption Of mental equality among civilized nations
which does not yet exist II is assuming that Germany
would ascribe our motives to love for peace and a
hatred of rather than our love for the almighty
dollar and fear OF her power It is assuming that in
the event OF war the Christian nation which destroyed
scrap OF paper made a shambes Of Belgium, and
ruthlessly murdered American men. women and chill
dren board the Lusitania and Laconia would allow
our sacrifice to her lust for possessions
1t is assuming that the German nation, which spent
forty years in building machine crush resistance tC
its ideas would allow non-resstance to thwart the
purpose for which that machine conceived.
Such reasoning is not merely faacous-it is danger
It inevitably the question OF the sincerity
Of those who It, II sincere they are excusabe in
their ignorance of conditions II insincere they
are neither more nor less than traitors to the country
But whether sincere insncere is il not the soundest
sense in these hours OF national peril 10 condemn
@no nuiy such doctrines tend TO endanger the very
enee OF the right to life liberty and the pursuit Of
Srpness' which includes but incidentally of COURSE

THE moss AT WASHINGTON.

president WILSON has ordered that American
merchant ships be armed to cOmbnt the German

BERLIN FOOD RIOTS.

This description OF food riot ap-
pears in the Berlin Vorwaerts:
AT the kitchen in Dantziger. the
people we're told by an official who
appeared on the steps that the lack Of
food was due TO the management Of
the food kitchen in Treskower-st..

contracted for.
Instantly there was mighty rush
of women TO the latter establishment.
There. again, they we're informed that
the victuals available barely sufflced
for those persons whose names had al
ready been inscribed on the waiting
list two days previously.
Some OF the women waited on in
the hope of gathering a few crumbs

meal that was supplied them in
the kitchen. The majority, however,
