tons saw plenty of signs Of the mon
ster, for the war lords were brag-
CARTS, and they could not refrain from
Boosting of their scheme. The Won
der of all is that these other nations,
the United States included, have not
been taking preparatory and defensive
measures for several decades.
The ultimate aim of the plan was,
Of course, the complete control and
kulturiZatiOn Of the world. 1t was
born of brains rendered british

Human Nature Left Out.
SO far this plan has failed. however
narrowly, for the simple reason that
1t did not include a reckoning with
the human nature that God made. The
soldiermen Of other nations are In the
long run stronger than the cast-in-the-
mold iron soldiers Of Germany. 1t is
the thorough organization of the Ger
man armies that has been the chief
difficulty of the entente allies. Per
haps the greatest strength of the plan
itself, however, lay in the verye stu
pendousness of 1t. Few would be-
lieve that any one nation would dare

Work Which Only Women Can Do.
Whatever our other activities, we
must "go on with our knitting" In
a very literal sense. SOX, sweaters
wristlets, and bands and then more
SoY will be needed In far greater num-
bers than ever before. Surgical dress
ing and bandages, also, must be sup.
piled by the shipload. and food must
be conserved. In these affairs the
world leans on women for support. But
II each woman gives q little time syS-
tematically to Red Cross work and
looks after the conservation of food in
her own home, the great total OF
achievement will do the work and fill
needs depending on US. Our part Is
easy compared to that Of the soldiers
and sailors. 1t is amazing that there
are women, with time and means at
their disposal, who, because they have
no relatives In the army or navy. are
taking no interest, much less any ac-
tive part In the work to be done. They
are not worth fighting for, and should
be held up to the scorn they deserve.
Now is the time when cold selfishneSs
