The Frightfulness of Peace
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

"As OBVIOUSLY and as vastly as Ger
many prepared for war, so OBVIOUSLY and
vastly is she now preparing for peace.
The same pestilential espionage, so re-
pulsive yet pervasve and prevailing the
same loathSOme perfection of forgery,
falsehood and intrigue; the same stark
inSensibility to the usual decencies, the
common noblities of the game Of life:
the same shameless rejoicing in every
form of human inidelity and diShonor-
these with added modes and messengers
polluting. are now co-ordinated in a rami-
fled propaganda for a peace that shall
leave Germany relatively undefeated, if
not obviously victorious"
These are the electric words Of George
D. Heron in his book The Menace of
Peace recently issued And more
tonic book for the few doubtful and hes
liant Americans of these times do not
know.
1t is curious situation that has
worked itself out, but it is true that a
peace at the present time, a peace leaving
the monstrouS. superegoistic criminal Of
all history unrebuked 10y the world con-
seriousness. unwhlpped -by the processes
OF world justice. and still Justify ram
pant TO unroll further chapters of hor-
ror and diaboiSm in its childish and
vain dream of raceglory and military
puissancc, would be rightful--infinitely
more frghtful that any of the unnatu-
raj beastly crimes it has already com
mitted
am pacifst: but TO me pacifsm
means reign of law. means that con-
cord which results from the cooperation
Of all, restraining the malicious out
breaks of the few
Meeky to let the lewd ravisher Of our
most tenderly reared daughters have
his wild way might be a Christian virtue
among helpless slaves, but among men
who are kings. who own the govern
ment, and who are responsible for the
laws Of earth, among such it could only
be the curious prostitution Of debased
mind or else sheer moral lesion.
To let the burglar of the world talk
peace while his arms are full of loot and
his hands yet red with the blood of his
victims that is not pacism; it is a
dirtier crime than war itself.
To let this Prussian government, tear
err UP Of treaties, sit at the council of
the nations unrebuked in its old egotism
that is not pacifsm; il is sheer brutal
ncapacity 20 see right and wrong at all.
Some gentlemen do not seem TO realize
that this German monster has piled up
such a record that for the nations of the
world to visit upon him anything else
than utter unqualified and absolute de-
feat and condign punishment would be
greater moral vleness than war till
kingdom come.
A peace now, with this gray VOLTS
back unbroken, might be made but upon
it would fall the scorn and abrogation of
heaven. as was spoken by the prophet
Isaiah to the pride Of Ephraim":
Because we have said, we have made
a covenant with death and with hell are
We AT agreement.
Therefore saith the Lord God Judg-
ment will lay to the line and righteous
ness to the plummet;
And your covenant with death shall
be disannulled, and your agreement with
hell shall not stand"

He says the discussion over going to

The Times is not, however, for

The Times is still for peace. but it is

This country must never again be sub

THE WORLD MUST BE MADE
SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY.
We have so declared as a nation and
there can be no turning back.
If any American thinks there can be. /
he is fool
We cannot, therefore. entertain at this
time any thought Of a peace that as
sumes no obligation to civilization
We cannot think Of harboring
peace that is not to be founded squarely
upon what it has cost.
We cannot think of accepting a peace
that would leave one single nation un-
possessed of a conscience with no con-
scientious motive itself for desiring
peace
The crime of Belgium must certainly
be provided against in settling this
peace, and that can never be accomplish

overall may be removed and sport skirt donned with the shirtwaist and in twinkling one is ready to run down to the post office or receive a visitor.
 A more conventional gardening cos- tune is pictured also; but this skirt and tunic combination will only be adopted for the lighter forms of gar den work, the cutting of flowers and tying up of vines, once the fair gar dener has experienced the comfort and convenience Of ovefalls in raking, planting and other practical out-of- door work. A khaki skirt is the best sort if one must wear a skirt This material does not show soil marks, is sturdy and light in weight Khaki is becoming harder and harder to get, however, now that so much of it is needed for the army, and if one can not have a khaki garden skirt, denim is good substitute. The belted tunic is> an excellent idea for gardening. One has often to lift the arms, OF to bend over, and the tunic will not be- come disarranged at the waist1ine, as blouse and skirt are apt to do in this sort of work.

There is one difficulty the woman who essays a shooting jumper must surmount: if she knows not the rib stitch in knitting craft, she must learn it forth with for from the waistline down to the hip the jumper has ribbed stitch which makes the garment cling grace fully to the figure. Knitted in the ordinary way and in the sleeveless style the sweater would be little too suggestive of an undershirt in it's lines. but the ribbed lower part gives 1t a very smart effect, the waistline and hips clinging. the upper part loose.
