According to Mr.. Wells, therefore,

and Germany must be forced into it.
1t is essential to remember that Won
Kuehlmann, in his recent speech,
raised objections against his country
belonging to such a league. He
feared that Germany would feel lone
ly, as dare say that she would. It
was precisely the same objection
raised at the Hague by Baron Mar
schall Won Bieberstein, during the
conference in 1908. And to meet it
some people in England, who may
fairly be called pacifsts, are sus-
picious of the steady consolidation of
the alliance against Germany into
permanent league. They argue that
the project Of a league should be
launched at a peace conference and
not earlier.
They do not convince me. NV own
view is that the security of mankind
demands a league, here and now and
as strong as we can weld it together.
If Germany does not like it, she must
lump it.

nationalism is also finding some lit

Mr.. Roosevelt repudiates "interna-

Simultaneous News That a Million Men
Had Crossed Is Both Relief and
Surprise to Allies

London, there is great enthusiasm
for Wagner, the Valkyrie. Else
where, it is Mozart. The music is
enjoyed on it's merits. But people
are restless, as if in pain. It comes
out in many ways-disgust over hon
ors lists, which run to 5000 names
for the Order of the British Empire
alone; fresh outbursts against the
alien; wild paroxysms over Pember-
ton-Billing, Miss Maud Allan and
the $4,000 names in the alleged Ger
man blackbook; questions about
Mrs. Pankhurst and her American
tour of advocacy of military inter
vention in Siberia; financial crit
cisms of the munition business, and
other details.
The most serious matter is Ire
land. Why has Sir Ignatius O'Brien,
Catholic and Nationalist, made
way as Lord Chancellor in Dublin
for Sir James Campbell, Protes-
tant and fisherman? Conscription
for Ireland has been announced and
then dropped. Mr.. Barnes, in the
Cabinet, advocates federal Home
Rule, which might be managed
through the imperial conference now
sitting, but the Nationalist are sus-
picious, even Of this. And Lord VIM
borne, straight from the Lord Lieu
tenancy, where he had all informa-

If Ireland joins Labor, and the

be powerful Parliamentary COM

tiers and would merge nationalities.
That is the theory-once more am
merely reporting on public opinion
three thousand miles distant-and
the address at Mount Vernon will be
taken as to some extent indorsing it.

said the President, "speak proud

spread of this independence

His impassioned denunciation Of
governments which fear the people,
are clothed in strange trappings, use
their people as fuel and exercise
primitive authority, applies to the
Central Powers. But this Mount
Vernon message is read by all who
feel a grievance against authority.
Its effect must be universal.
What really divides Britain to-day
is controversy over future rela-
tons with Germany. The President
has proposed League of Nations.
Lord Curzon does not believe that
the Central Powers can be included.
He therefore contemplates two
leagues, each of which would be
armed, with close alliances within
itself-economic, naval and military.
Obviously, the control of raw ma
terials would rest largely with the
Allies and the United States, who

would cut off supplies from Germany
as long as she continues to be a
menace to the world. By such press
ure it is hoped that Germany would
be forced to disarm after the war.
but in the immediate future she must
be isolated by every device known to
those who frame tariffs and guide
the carrying trade of the world. The
United States, with her control Of
tonnage, can do a good deal to make
such measures effective. The reso-
lutions Of the Paris Conference and
various commercial reports, of a
protective character, tend toward
these Economic BARRIERS" as the
President has called them. The emo
tons aroused by war, profound
mistrust Of the German, and a
hatred of his ways are all factors,
making for the same end.
Labor Takes
A Different View
On the other hand, organized labor
takes very different view. Two
leagues Of nations would be only an
extension Of the old balance Of
power. H. G. Wells, who looks far
into the future, has written a book,
In the Fourth Year. Authorizations
Of World Peace" in which he gives
an appalling picture of the alterna-
tive to disarmament. He says:

press any opinion on them.
Many other writers and Speakers
in England are discussing what is
meant by the word victory" in this
war. In the House of Lords, Lord
Lansdowne has a considerable fol-
lowing among the supreme judges.
The Aldwyck Club recently enter
tanned Major Putnam and Lord Mer-
sey used these words:
mo one could predict when peace
would come, but even then many
years must elapse before we should
be able to say who was the winner
of the war"
Probably his sentence is to be ex-
planned by a parallel passage from
former Lord Chancellor Buckmaster,
who has said:
The real winners of the war will
be determined ten or twenty years
afterward, and they will be the ma
ton who will be best able to face the
growing discomfort Of disillusioned
people, to ward off growing famine,
and to save their people from the
universal bankruptcy to which
Europe is speeding every day with
increasing pace"
What these men are thinking
about appears to be, therefore, the
possibility Of a revolutionary move
ment sweeping over Europe when
the armies are demobilized. If we
are to follow the precedent of 1848,
when every throne in Christendom
