then. can we content ourselves with
have us lay away our weapons 10 rust
In neglect until another peril forces
MS TO hunt them up again and have
TO contend with the same foolish un-
readiness as before7 1t is not Chris
tian advice to do so. 1t contradcts
the Bible.
We do not want such n military or
ganlzation as we see In Germany one
that dominates other facilities Of gov
ernment and rules the people with
rod OF iron, nor one Ike China, where
a few generals can dictate the policy
OF either emperor or president. But
we do want something tangible for
national defense. something that will
do away with the humiliating necessity
Of taking six months or a year to get
ready TO fight when we are attacked.
Were Il not for the armies OF France
and the navy OF England, Germany
could have come over and taken pos
session of our country before we could
get ready to resist. DO we want TO be
caught that way again? Shall we con-
tnue To place our reliance on pure
luck2 We can learn some lessons TO
our benefit even from the despised
mllitarists one Of them is that IL
pays to be prepared, not only in po-
tentialities, but In actual facilities. We
can have no assurance. no matter
what the result OF this war. that We
shall be immune from trouble in the
future.' The consensus OF all historical
evidence is 10 the contrary. Some day
We shall ahve TO fight again. Shall we
not now lay the foundation OF demo-
cratic army that is trained and capable
and ready to respond on short notice
when peril threatens?

WHAT OF THE FUTURE?

II seems to be the general impress
sion that military preparedness is use
tul only as far as II enables us To do
our part in the present war and that
when peace Is once declared we will
lay away all our implements OF de-
s,ruction and lie down once more in
fancled security to wait Tor the out
growth OF universal peace. II is n
fact that all the measures SO far pro-
posed have been modelled with the sole
view OF present needs, and IL is fact
that we as a people are opposed to
what looks like fastening ourselves up
10 military organization for future
needs. Yet. who can deceive them
selves into thinking that this gigantic
struggle In which We have now emI
harked will be the last time we may
have TO unsheath our sworde We are
n Christian nation. supposedly. and
our bible tells us plainly there shall
be wars and rumors OF wars until the
secon coming OF the Messiah How.

In country where prison doors so
easily open inward for the men who
do not do 10 suit the kaiser and his
party. Some have been prone to re-
gard Harden as one OF those "free
lance" people who take an innate
pleasure In contravenlng the will OF
authority and throwing down dare
to popular sentiment but as time goes
on II becomes evident that there Is
some method in Iarden's madness.
The most likely explanation Is that
Harden Is possessed OF n great deal OF
knowledge which would, II made pub
lie, overthrow the house OF Hohenzol-
lern, and for that reason the kaiser
regards IL as expedient TO overlook
and ignore the rabid utterances OF this
writer. Ii is possible any attempt TO
throw him into prison or put him to

out OF school which would force the
abdication OF Wilhelm II II did not
inspire n revolution. The German peo-
pie are nerved on TO fight by their
great faith In the one man who wears
the crown OF the empire. and II all the
secrets OF the round table" and other
indiscretions could be fully known
they would spurn the man they now
worship
This Is. OF course. pure supposition,
but there does exist some reason why
Harden is not only free from espionage
and restriction such as Is visited upon
other German writer's, but II seems as
tho the authorities take pains to deal
with him tenderly and with astonlsh-
ing consideration. Harden is not bit
backward about accusing the ruling
powers OF his land with the worship
OF commercial dominion above every
other consideration and that. with this
end In Fiew, they have for forty years
made OF Germany essentially one gi-
gantic war camp In anticipation OF the
day when they should find It oppor-
tune TO overrun the rest OF humanity
and put German kultur in control OF
the destinies OF all the world. This Is
what the kaiser has undoubtedly at
tempted TO do, basing his pretext on
Serbla's refusal to bend the knee to
Franz Josef, But. as Hall Caine says.
his efforts have no more chance OF
ultimate success than would IAN at
tempt 10 enter heaven by the aid OF
skeleton keys forged in hell" Each
new evidence OF Prussian savagery
only makes the powers Of the civilized
world more determined that the world
must be made safe for democracy.
