ONLY ARGUMENT is FORCE

Asked what he thought of the pros
poets Of an early peace, President
William H. Crawford of Allegheny
college, just returned from France,
where he spent several months work
ing under the auspices of the Army
Y. M. c. A, says:
"This is not time TO talk of peace.
The word ought to be prohibited.
The word now is fight. The only ar
gument Germany will listen to is the
argument of force. The thing to do
now, and the only thing to do is to
fight, and fight to a good finish. Pi-
racy and the black flag must be de-
strOyed once and for all. The man
who talks peace, or food shortage in
Germany, or internal revolution in
Germany, Is German propaganda.
Peace talk is now pro-German talk. A
man doesn't think about peace with
mad dog when the animal is coming
at him with foaming mouth. He
thinks only Of killing the brute. 1t
will be time enough to talk of peace
with Germany when war-mad COVER
nors have been made to eat dirt"

and do it quick"
This is what President Crawford
urges. 81 consider it the duty of
the United States to get five million
men into France just as soon as pos
sible," said he, "and with full equip

so much to discourage Germany as

l., THE UNIT OF HUMANITY


In the June number Of the Red
Cross magazine, DR.. Frank Crane
writes:
"iu all this welter and confusion,
wars and rumors of wars, through al.
the hate and slaughter and accusation
and denial and misunderstanding,
rans one deep, low tone of harmony.
Beneath the paiful discord is one
healing tone, broad, unifying diapa-
sen
ut is the Red Cross.
Among our strident Inhumanities
this is the one thing Human.
"We may quarrel in traffic, strive
in politics and party, envy in learn
ing, contend over possessions, and
wound and slay in angry pride, but
in a gesture Of Mercy we all, friend
and foe, suddenly fuse and blend.
One touch Of Mercy makes the
whole world kin.
"Fhe Red Cross is the inarticulate
protest of Humanity against the do
ings of Nations"
A concrete instance of how the Red
Cross works is given in the same
magazine by Francis r. Bellamy as
fellows:
Out of the ever-changing death
struggle on the plains Of Picardy.
with its promise of victory, its spec.
tre of defeat, one thing stands forth
Interchangeable day by day--the duty
Of the Red Cross.
Behind the bloodstained battle
lines misery is again on the road.
As in nineteen fourteen, the refugees
old men, women and children-
carry the helpless on shutters; the
bird cage and the improvised cradle
make their appearance on the muddy
roads; the trains are loaded with the
wounded. In Paris, civilians lie
crushed beneath the ruins caused by
air raids and bOmbardment, while the
railway stations are crowded with the
fleeing refugees from northern
France. 1t might be nineteen four,
teen over again.
Only this time there is differ
ence.
So far as military relief is conccrn-
ed, the same efficiency is observable,
A single illustration, indeed, can dem.
onstrate the difference between nine
teen fourteen and nineteen eighteen
where the wounded soldier is con
cerned. In the three hours, recently,
all the splints, accessories, instru-
ments and surgical dressings required
for a hospital of one thousand beds
were assembled and dispatched from
Paris.
To those of US who are left behind
these facts have become vital, Amer
ica is in the war at last.
Our duty is plain.
