is no time for the man with the paro-

to think In terms of world problems.
We are going TO avoid, if possible,
a repetition of that kind of panic and
confusion or tongues in which our en-
ergies are wasted in mutual recrimin-
alton, such as England had to pass
through in 1915, or that which befell
our own nation in the dark days Of
the Civil War.
We must socialize for military adj
vantage the entire strength of the
nation, yet without sacrificing the
spirit of democracy. We must present
to the enemy an absolutely united
front, yet without surrendering the
independence of personal judgment.
We must keep an eye open not only
for disloyalty in our midst, but also
for those who either as reactionaries
or professional reformers, come in the
name Of patriotism with an axe to
grind for their own interests. Our
patriotism is our national salvation
and we must save it from that para

have long sought to cheaper the whole

Historical and Spiritual Interpretation OF
The World War
By GEORGE HENRY DOLE.

Everything that occurs, both nat
ural and spiritual, comes according to
law IL this does not seem to be true,
1t is because the law is not under
Stood but IL the law is known, the
Divine Providence in events appear so
clearly that it can be read forwards
and backwards.
Over a year ago, when rumors OF
peace were rife, in THE EVENING
JOURNAL of Nov. %, 1915, / stated
that "As our Civil War had to be suf-
hciently severe to make war between
the States impossible, so this war
must go on until the basis of inter-
national justice is laid, and intellec-
tual peace better secured"
new factor now enters into the
war by our government being forced
to take up arms in defense of itself.
To many this act on the part of our
country seems most confusing and
they wonder If the world is bent upon
self-destruction; yet If the underlying
natural and spiritual laws are under
stood, our entering the war makes the
hand of Divine Providence appear
even more clearly.
When the war broke out, many
opinions Of its origin were given. Mr.
c. w. Barron, editor Of the Wall Street
Journal and other commercial papers,
after visiting the field Of action. wrote
a book on the war, showing in what
respects it is a tariff war. Others have
explained it as a lust for expansion,
the love of dominion swelling and
overlooking its bounds; or the strug-
gle for a new balance Of world-power;
or the liberty loving nations rising up
in defense of national freedom; or an
economic war wherein is the quest
for larger markets. President Wilson's
address before Congress has quite
unified thought, and has lifted the war
above the plane of commercial mo-
tives, and has made the issue I'M
perialism versus Democracy. This has
done much to clarity thought and pur-
pose, yet a worthy understanding of
events necessitates a further elucida-
ton Within commercial and political
motives are moral and spiritual ends,
to which Divine Providence works.
The wars of the last century have
been matchmaking wars. The Napo-
leOnic wars broke up the feudal sys-
TEN, and caused the baronies to be
absorbed by the State. Our civil war
was primarily a nation-building war.
Herein is an evolution. for loyalty to
a nation Is superior to loyalty to a
tribe. baron, or district, for in national
loyalty is a broader and larger love
which we call patriotism. 1t is obvious
that our love for the United States is
greater than the love Of a component
state, and in our patriotism there is
now a broader, truer, diviner affection
since our nation is now one great peo-
pie. The peace and security in which
the states of our land now dwell,
costly as they were, are well worth
the treasure and blood by which the
compact is sealed
One thing is in the form of another.
The lesser is an image of the greater
I mean by this that the world-war is
precisely like our civil war, only on
a larger scale. The Divine Providence
in it has the same end in view always
Out Of the world-war will be born a
larger amity, a love that will regard

OLIVER METZEROTTIN RACE
FOR THE STATE SENATE
Seeks Republican Nomination in
Prince Georges County for
Maryland Upper House. I

mated without serious opposition. it 10
stated. and will be formidable cam
7lidate in the general election, notwith-
standing the county's democratic tend
ency, for he has been elected to the
house three times, always leading his
party ticket and obtaining an increased
majority in each reelection.
State Senator William F. Holmead
will be renominated by the democrats
OF Prince Georges county and will OPP
post Mr. Metzerott.
It is probable that the liquor question
will play prominent part in the fight
between Mr.. Metzerott and Senator Hol-
mead. Prince Georges, which unexpect-
eddy went "wet' in 1916, was lesislated
dry without a referendum by the extra
session of the legislature. The ground
for that action was the passage by Con-
gress of a measure making the District
dry as of November /. 1t was argued,
with effect, that unless Prince Georges
was made dry as of the same date the
overflow of liquor people and others from
Washington into Prince Georges would
make conditions in the county intolerable.
