New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-07-07
MOTHER volume has been add
ed by DR.. Robert r. Morris to
: his interesting, widely dis


cussed "To-morrow's Topics
series. It is called "The Way Out of
War;" and sets forth, as the author
phrases it, "notes on the biology Of the
subject" From biological point of
view he is sure that Germany is doomed,
and declares:
"Nations which are dominated by men
OF some one varetal hybrid type (Hohen-
zollern, Guelph, Romaneff. Hapsburg) de-
yelop ideals In nationalism which cement
all ethnic factors in that nation into group
unit that is extremely strong for purposes
Of offence or defence. Each strong group
INIT develops ideals which are chsraeterss'
tic Of the sort of mental expression belong
ing to the physical type OF the dominan1
family IN that group unit. Ideals belong 50
largely to the emotional set OF faculties
that conflict of one sort or another between
group units (nations) is inevitable and be-
longs among the workings of natural law
"Whenever q strong nation develops II
depends upon the dominance of a var1esai
hvbrid group. The formation OF sucn
groups occurs among other animals anu
among plants. When the dominant valiesa.
hybrid group reaches cultural lmiea'1o"0
It falls apart, and the remnants OF the
variety make further vsrietal combinations.
From among these fragments Of dominant
types arise various new combinations some
Of which may represent closely the of1s'

eighteen hundred years ago the Roman
Empire WAS characterized by its solidity
and Its universality. Eight hundred years
later tho rulers had failed to maintain
unity and that great civilization was 'oss
in a large number Of small separate do
mains. Here and there larger, stronger
herds appeared, the larger ones tending
to absorb the smaller ones until the Ma
poleonic wars, and the series Of modern
wars beginning in 1s4s had tendency 70

whole British line would be compelled to
retire. This is measure of the intoler-
able suffering of the first victims of this
treacherous mode Of attack which has been
justified in the eyes Of the German public
only by the claim that the French had first
used chemical 'stinkpots.' To the credit
of the coordination of science and gov
eminent in England it is reported that
within thirty-siX hours e million and a
half of the first crude but sufficiently effect
i've gas masks were delivered at the front

absorbent probably some alkaline lquid)
for the dread chlorine gas of the enemy.
A decision probably can be reached only
by the side that can hurl against the enemy
the greater number Of thousands Of high ex-
plosivcs."

pire was due to the conquest Of other
states by q single state of the group, this
single state possessing military and politi-
cal efficiency in higher degree than had
been developed by the other states. Among
the present varietal hybrid groups history
has been repeated by the conquest Of vari-
Gus German states by what we call the
Prussian State. Various elements forced
under the rule of the Prussian State have
been rather more rebellious than those
which were grouped together under the
Roman State.

Who said the hsh weren't biting

Piffie; you should have seen the re-
turn of the Enola Fishing Club for
proof of this false report. There
were 523 on the string; yep, count
'em Yourself, all caught at Angelsea
by the Enola Waltons who take a
trip like this every summer. Here
were some the scores:

the audience might strive for pre-
emtnence. Naval officers rubbed
shoulders with Army officers, the uni
forms of the United States of Ameri-
ca with those of the United Kingdom.
Admirals enjoye themselves with the
light-heartedness of A. BIS, and pri
vate soldiers could hardly laugh
more delightedly than did Generals.
The Stars and Stripes was worn or
waved by every man, woman and
child; and there could be no doubt
whatever, that it's adoption meant a
whole-hearted acceptance of America
as a comrade in play and a near re-
lation in the great work that lies be-
fore the two big English-speakin
families.
The Navy batted first but 1t was
not until the fourth innings that a
run was scored. Then Ensign Fuller
crossed the home plate through a
two-base hit by McNally. This sue
cess was greeted uproarously by the
Navy 'rooters' and when Fuller scor-
ed a second run in the sixth inning
making 1t two-love in their favor
the greetings were transcendant.
Just when it looked as though the
Army would be beaten pointlessly,
Tober made fine two-baser hit,
which being followed by another two
baser from Lafitte permitted the Army
to register their second run in the
last knock. Arlie Latham was UNI
pire."

Secretary of State in Washington,
fell the most difficult and danger
Gus portion of the defense. by rea-
son of our proximity to the great
city wall and the main city gate,
over which the large guns were
planted. Our legation. with the po-
sition we held on the wall, was the
key to the whole situation. The
United States marines acquitted
themselves nobly. Twice they were
driven from the wall and once forced
to abandon the legation, but each
time, reinforced. Immediately retook
it. and with only a handful of men,
aided by ten Russian sailors, and
for few days a few British ma
rines, they held it to the last against
several hundred Chinese with at
least three pieces of artillery"

of IS and SO, and endowed with the
spirit that asks to be first to fight

whom there is a welcome when he
