The Carrier of Pacifism
,From the New York Trlbune.l

Militarism has slain its thousands.
But paciflsm has slain It's hundreds
OF thousands.
II Great Britain had been prepared
Tor war in July. 1914, Germany would
pr0Dably have ordered Austrla-Hun-
gary TO modify the ultlmatum to Ser
PIE. Certainly the treaty guaranteeing
beigiun's independence and territorial
integrity would not have been treated
by Germany as waste piece OF paper.
NO world war would have been risked
by me Kaiser II Great Brltain's prepar-
alton had been equal 60 Germany's.
Again, II the United States had been
prepared for war IN 1915 the Lusitania
would not have been sunk. When Tir-
pitz launched his campaign Of fright
fulness al sea he gambled on American
unprepsredness. He discounted tae
protests Of a country which stfl took
pride In the fact that it was not ready
TO fight
Stupendous losses and sacrifices must
be laid directly at the door OF the pa
clusm which before 1914 had infected
Great Britain and the United States.
there were two currents OF paciHsm
IN The world. one was that OF inter-
national Socialism 10 was the moro
rational and respectable Of the two. IL
sought TO oppose the ruthless mill
tarism OF the German autocracv an
anti-war union Of the European pro-
letarlats. Germany's included. The So
cialist lnternationale failed because the
German proletarlat deserted 10. The
German people as q whole were with
their government in wishing TO profit
by war for economic and territorial
expansion.
The second current was British and
American. Our paciflsm ,even more
than that OF the Britishj was the pacif-
ism Of sentmentality and msterlalistic
languor. 1t was an outcropplng not OF
Socialist propaganda, but OF morbid
optimism. our prophets OF peace were
even more deuded than the Lenines
and the Trotzkys The latter banked
on the self-interest of the German
masses. Ours banked only on the
chiyalry and sweet reasonableness Of
the German Junkers.
Our crowning folly lay in the cate
gorlcal assertion that though all the
rest OF the world was IN arms and all
the ruthless passions Of war had been
aroused there was still no occasion for
us to become nervous and excited.
Tranquil America was 20 accept the
role Of the lamb in the presence Of the
German wolf. We We're 30 rely for
protection on the power Of innocence
and virtuOus remOnstrance.

A Memory Of ANiia
From the New York sun.l

Pope Benedict XIV. has vigorously
protested TO Berlin against the bonn
bardment Of Paris, and especially
against the destruction Of churches and
the wholesale massacre Of people "
This protest. similar to that which the
pope has before been compelled to ut
ter against German inhumanity, follows
the ruthless and useless destruction Of
a Paris church and the killing OF sew
enty-Avs attendants. mostly women
and children. at The celebration Of high
mass on Good Friday. Christianity and
ali other nobler and higher influences
Of civilization unite with Pope Benedict
in the condemnation OF this horrible
method OF warfare
The Archbishop Of Paris has received
from Rome a telegram saying:
The Holy Father, depl0rins The fact
that the bloody conflict which already
has caused everywhere so much suffer
ing, has again, on The very day Of the
Sayiors Passion, found more innocent
victims, who are still dearer 10 his
heart owing to their faith and piety
expresses his deepest sympathy
From the Grand Rabbi lsraef Levi
he has also received a letter stating.
We are cne in pious Indignation at
the crime, which seems 20 hive been
intended as an insult to what humanity
nolds most sacred

uablo organization. The boys should
clearly understand that they are en-
listing TO do war service. They are TO
nave the same regard for commands
that soldiers have They must enter
tain the notion that they are not going
out on the farms for a play SPELL but
TO render actual service and TO endure
some haruships The truth Of the mat
ter is, work on a farm. like nghting
IN the trenches, Is a serious under
taking and requires real backbone. A
soldier cannot expect to have the same
pleasant surroundings In war that he
has In steamheated house. Further
more, he cannot expect that his bill Of
fare IS going TO consist of dainlies On
the farm the boys viii have plain
.wholesome food.
The problem OF getting efficient serv-
Ice out Of the boys doesn't fall en-
tirely upon the boys The parents OF
these boys should bear In mind that
the OnnOrtunity to work on farms is
something really worth whi,e for the
development of their sons. TWO or
three months on "a farm viii be worth

the standpoint OF developing manhood.
The most important influences 10 my
education were gained on the farm. u

the morning whether ! wanted TO or

many kinds Of work that [ did not like.
1t was there, that I learned to get joy

II the fathers and mothers OF these
reserve boys can brace themselves TO
realization that their boys are con-
trlbuting 10 the saving Of civilization
and that they are actually helping TO
win the war, they viii exercise that
flrmness which Is absolutely necessary
to success in any Undertaking There
parents should stand back OF the boys
and insist that they meet sacrifices and
hardships with the same delight that
an Arctic explorer does his work. The
boys should not only spend their days
on the farm, but their nights as well
They should become thoroughly initiat-
ed in al the kinds Of lie that belong
TO the farm
10 is true that farmers have a duty
TO perform, but the mysteries OF the
farm arc comparatively few. Boys who

ONLY 50 fares IL may be absolutely necessary should
~ the war be permitted TO interfere with educa-
tona work in Delaware. That is particularly true with
respect to the institutions Of higher learning like Della

conditions than the public schools
Or. Samuel Chiles Mitchell, president OF Delaware
College, and Miss Winfred J. Robinson dean Of tho

should be encouraged by all rght-thnkng Deawaresns

both, OF college-going age.
There is ample Official authority and incentive for ae-
tiyty in this work OF recruiting students for the two
colleges. President Wilson Secretary War Baker and
other Federal officials upon whom the war burden is
resting heavily have declared themselves in favor OF boy
students below the draft age remaining in school and
college until they called FOR service They also have
expressed themselves IN favor Of young women COM
petins their college courses.
Therefore, Il win be well for the boys and the girls
and their parents TO keep those things in mind when

But how about after the war?
