homes or nearly. 1t does not Of course

A few Of the children had TO bring

sage that mother was sorry, but hadn't
time now that one Of the breadwinners
was away and would somebody please
do the sewing for her. On the other
hand, one woman. a widow with two grown
up sons in khaki, volunteered TO help.
The festival, under the auspices OF the
institute and the centre, was block party.

climax of the programme was the I'M

Thus the two antagonstic principles
which have been in conflict for $50 years
are clearly defined.
German military despotism is the OPP
pressor of conquered nations-the Poles
of Poland, the Danes of Schleswig, the
Alsatians and Lorrainians, the Italians of
Trente and Trieste, the Czecks of Bo-
hernia, the Slovaks of northern Hungary.

Serbs of Bosnia Herzegovina, the Croa-

proportionate, as in Prussian Poland, al

Community Service Flag
Stirs East Side Patriots

A NEW idea in symbolism for foster
L \ ing neighborhood loyalty appeared
at the Liberty festival held on the eve
of the Fourth in East Nineteenth street.
A community service flag, the first Of its
kind, called by those who planned it
"The flag of thousand stars, sewed in a
thousand homes" was hung across the
street and dedicated
BY request of the Peoples Institute
and the Wingate Community Centre, the
principals of Public Schools 40 and 50,
which are close together in East Tween
tieth street, at the heart of the neighbor-
hood in question, had called on the assem-
BLEED school children for a show Of the
hands of those whose families have mem
berS with the colors.
Each youngster thus distinguished was
given square of white bunting TO take
home, with as many blue bunting stars
as the home service flag Was entitled to.
The children were asked to get their
mothers or big sisters TO sew the stars
on. The squares returned were picced
together, making the field Of the flag, and
a three foot red border was added
The resulting emblem Of service meas
ures roughly sixteen feet by twenty-five.

the rights of France. 1t was an utter
denial Of eternal justice. In reality it
touched all humanity. But mankind did
not understand this until later.
The war of 1914 was the sequence of
all the conflicts for more than a century
between conquering despotism and pacific
democracy. For western Europe, France,
Belgium, the British Empire, Italy,
Portugal, it was indeed the contest of de-
mocraeies against the German military
autocracy, Of the revolution against the
ancient regime, as in the eighteenth CEN
fury.
America Could Not Refuse Aid
The entrance of the United States upon
the stage in April, 1917, following the
persuasive efforts Of President Wilson,
that noble standard bearer of the intellect
ual and idealistic classes Of the New Eng
land, gave to the war, now become world
wide, its highest significance. The United
States could not refuse to hearken tc the
appeal of justice and right, oppressed in
Belgium, in France, in Alsace- Lorraine
and in all Europe.
Since 1912 we Had predicted Americas
part in the great conflict then preparing;
it did not seem possible to US that the
greatest democracy in the world, which
was the first to be established, with the
help of France, could remain in splendid
Indifference and isolation during a long
and terrible war in which the very foun-
dations of civilization would be concerned.
In March, 1912, at a conference at the
conclusion of series Of studies of Ger
many made by our colleagues in the fac
ulty Of letters Of the University of Lille,
we said: "When the German people de-
sIres more territory the conflict can not
be stopped by any sovereign calling him
self pacific, for it will be all the nation,
really imperialistc nation, which will
force it. And then it will be a universal
confagration. But if Germany triumphs
it will not be for long, for she will end
by being conquered by coalition of all
the European Powers and possibly even
the American Powers"
1t seems as if the great facts of his
tory have their logical conclusion some
times.

ways persecution, even in language and
thought.
The Germanic despotism shows absolute
disregard Of all treaties, those scraps OF
paper" as the German Chancellor called
them in August, 1914. AS necessity
knows no law" according to the same high
authority, the German Empire did not
hesitate to invade the territory of Bel
GUM, thus erasing its own signature to
treaty three quarters of a century old,
which guaranteed the neutrality Of that
little Independent State.
In 1907 at the Peace Conferences at
The Hague it refused to be party to OBJ
ligatory arbitration between nations; for
its disagreements were TO be settled by war
alone Moreover is not war a national
industry for Prussia2 1t is even divine
institution.
In August, 1914, war 'fresh and joy
fuP' was let loose upon Belgium and
France, amid the fires and massacres of
Louvain, of Termonde, Of Dinant and
Senlis. 1t is military terrorism for the
great good of humanity and at the order
of God: "God so wills it ! God is with u.s."
So German despotism sets up the violation
Of international law as a rule, just as it
refuses to conquered peoples the enjoy
ment Of national law. In justice is sover-
eign.
No liberty for nations; their will does
not count; they should have no other de-
sire than that of the master. The con-
queror cries that there is no Alsace-Lor-
raine question; there is no Scheswig
question, no Polish question. Nor is there
equality between nations, for all is a mat
ter Of force.
Seeks Supremacy Of the Large.
There are large and small states; the
future belongs to the large; everything IN
the world tends to concentration; the
small nations must be sacrificed TO neces-
sity; it is the decree of fate, the end of
evolution. Thus must disappear Belgium,
Serbia, and awaiting their turn Denmark,
Holland, &c.
And when there are only four or FIVE
great states left, or less, then Germany,
having absorbed the small ones politically
and economically, will conquer the large
states, ruin them and dominate the world.
Deutschland iiber Alesw And that will
be justice, she already declares, because
her kultur is superior TO all others and
her organization is the model dreamed of
by all humanity.
Democracy has principles utterly OPP
posed to all this. In England, in the
United States, in France and in all the
states of the western world which have
been modelled upon these three great ma
lions, civil and political liberty and equal
ity are the chief motors of public life All
citizens are free and have equal rights;
all are equally admitted 10 their functions,
whether they are Protestants, Catholics
or Jews.
As to other nations, democracy is pro
foundry respectful of all its treaties
With perfect loyalty it keeps its agree

ment 1t knows that frankness is worth
more than all secret diplomacy Demo-
cratic states do not hesitate to confirm
their signatures, if need be, to reassure
a loyal nation, weak and timid, situated
between three powerful neighbors. Thus
in 1914 France and England recognized
afresh the neutrality of Belgium, guaran-
teed by them in 1899; and so in 1917
France gave her word of honor to Swift
erland, which had been made uneasy by
German propaganda.
The democracies admit the right OF
peoples to dispose Of themselves. For
them a nation is sacred person. 1t Is
made up neither of the soil nor the for
tresses, nor the rivers-natural trenches
for the German who dreams of nothing
but war and annexation. 1t is not even
the language, the habits and customs; it
is above all the will.
Nation Seen as Sacred Person.
The democracies hold all nations as
equal, no matter what may be the extent
of their territory and the strength of their
army; all are sovereign and independent;
all have right to their place in the sun.
The great democracies suffer from the
attacks made upon the liberty and rights
of small nations And in 1917 we may
say that this suffering became intolerabls
and the great American Republic, fol-
lowed by the Republic of Brazil, came TO
the assistance of oppressed nations. Thus
democracy becomes justice. 1t is also
peace, labor, the fruitful emulation OF
peoples in material and moral progress.
On the one side stands force, the con-
quest Of the world, the coarsest material
ism; on the other, right, peace, idealism,
founded upon that which is left to us OF
the noblest and most humane of ancient
Greece, of Christianity, of the Italian
renaissance and the French revolution.

of the University of Bordeaux, France.
FOR the first time in history war
i has descended upon humanity which
has gradually, directly or indirectly, ex-
tended to all the earth. This cataclysm
brought about by the military empires of
central Europe, above all by Germany, is
the most terrible as well as the most
costly that mankind has ever known.
Only a, few secondary nations still remain
neutral in 1918. But these neutrals them
selves are hardly less interested than the
belEgerents in the resuh>of the conflict, of
which they feel the effects profoundly.

ale will kill him." That the champions
of might still think of victory after all
their defeats on the Marne, on the User
and before Verdun, is possible; in reality
il is chiefly the great military heads who
assert this. How can the faith of an en-
tire nation still rest upon its militaristio
kultur when forty-five years of prepare
ton have resulted only in that miserable
failure on the Marne? The Germanio
peoples themselves can hardly still have
blind confidence to-day in an armed force
which failed in the first grand shock and
which, even when delivered from Russian
attack in 1913, gained some ground only
by leaving on the battlefelds of Picardy
and Flanders large part of its best SOL
diers.
