Y. M. e. A. WAR WORK.

The American Y. NJ. G. A. has set out to
raise two million dollars to carry on during the
current year the splendid work it is doing in
the European prison camps Generous citizens
throughout the country have already given a
large amount, but the point in figures is still
far below the sum required.
The workthis money will pay for is Of the
highest Importance. The organization is wei
coined and given facilities in every land in
Europe, except Turkey, to administer to the
physical. social, spiritual and educational needs
of the men, of whom there are about five mil
lions in the prison camps. Prisoners of all
races. colors, creeds are aided, comforted, doc
tored, taught, supplied with books, papers, pic
lures, brought into communication with their
friends at home and helped in every way to
keep their health and courage up.
1t is a work of the utmost value which no
other organization could do quite as well; and
people who contribute to promote it may be
sure that every dollar given is expended to the
best advantage.

This is the last great war. declares John Bur
roughs, the veteran naturalist; and many men
who shrink from making or accepting sweep
ing statements are inclined to agree with him
in this.
Of course similar assertions have been made
before by men with whom the wish was father
to the thought. That rather ridiculous pacifist
fanatic, President Jordan Of Leland Stanford
university, proclaimed on public platforms in
the spring Of 1914 that a war of magnitude had
become impossible, unthinkable. He also re-
buked the people Of Australia, where he was
on a lecture tour, for their folly in preparing
and training for cventualities. But he was
booed into silence and a polite and kindly init
nation reached. him that the South seas eli
mate, while ideal for many people, was not in
fallibly conducive to health and might not be
for him. But the cases of Mr.. Burroughs and
President Jordan are essentially different. The
one declared that there would be no rain when
all the sky was black with clouds ready. as the
weatherwise knew, to open their floodgates on
the world. The other gives it as his opinion
that when this terrific downpour is over no
such red rain will ever deluge the earth again.
This is a highly optimistic view, yet there
are reasons for believing that a long if not last
ing peace may be predicted now with more as
surance than ever before. Moral law bids fair
to supersede Jungle law as an outcome of the
war. Without it there could be no commerce,
no government, no cooperation and society
would disintegrate. The rule of might prevails
in all the evolutionary scale of life below that
of developed man. But this law, as Mr.. Bur
roughs sees it, is no more truly biological than
the law that when a certain stage of growth is
reached the spiritually fittest shall survive, the
law of right shall rule and those nations be
