The Necessity for An International
Viewpoint on the Part Of Americans


The growth of that spirit known
as internationalism has been slow and
steady since the beginning of the
history of the human race. Not long
ago it seemed to the casual observer
that the peoples of the earth would
gradually learn to think not only Of
national, but also of international
progress and unity. Then the Hague
conferences, which held so much
hope for those who longed for the
day of International peace, failed to
secure results of a valuable and last
ing nature. Close upon this failure
came the great European conflict
now being waged on the continent
with all the fervor of barbarism, and
made more awful by the addition of
the horrible mechanical science of
civilization. The idealists, who felt
that the day of peace was at hand,
began to fear that christianity, civili-
zation, and humanity had failed al
together, that the human race was
to be plunged back into the darkness
of savagery, land that all that had been
accomplished in peaceful pursuits was
a total failure.
But before we arrive at this con-
clusion, let US see whether we can
find anything which points to a better
destiny for the human race. Does the
war really mean the downfall of
every good and uplifting thing at
tanned by mankind? Must the world
live forever under the awful bond

ing for supremacy regardless of the
rights and privileges Of others? Must
the national life of such nations as
Poland, Belgium, and Serbia, be for
ever broken and disregarded? Are
the solemn treaties made between
nations always to be regarded as
mere scraps of paper? Or is it pos
sible that the time may soon come
when the nations will live in relations
Of peaceful political and commercial
heritage, but allowing others to de-
velop in their own way, according to
their W racial characteristics.
At the beginning of history there
was an age of individualism. each
person working for his own welfare.
1t was q time Of petty, jealousies and
animosities. Then as the race bro
crossed, individuals banded together
and became nations. These eroups
of individuals fought constantly with
each other and there was an ACE Of
national warfare: Gradually these
nations Joined other nations with
common ties OF race interest, and
formed alliances. Now these alliances
are fighting, and we hear of such
things As . balance Of power" the

lead in this noble cause.
This is not only a national, but also
an international crisis. Mighty M
lions, Greece, Rome, and Egypt hive
been given the choice either to- 90
backward or forward. They have
chosen the former and have gone
down to destruction. There are two
alternatives facing this world TODAY.
Progress or Retrogression, Internation-
alism and Peace, or Nationalism and
Militarism.
The American people have a large
part to play in this decision. Let US
profit by the past, and 20 forward.
We love America and what she stands
for, but we also love the world. We
must, and we shall have an interna-
tlonal viewpoint, and then we shall
realize marvellous destiny as a
nation: Not to force other nations
to accept U ideals and institutions.
but to stand side by side with them
in perfect equality. Our motto shall
be-: America for the World"

Entente against the Triple Alliance.
The next step in the never ceasing
progress of humanity must be a per-
feet international unity.
Are there any signs of this coming
state, o. is this last statement
merely a false conclusion reached
after a series Of statements produced
by fallacious reasoning? Let US OBJ
serve some of the more recent adj
vances made by the race. The alli-
ances, it is true, were often formed
for purely selfish political reasons,
but quite frequently nations banded
together because they had common
ideals and interests. These unions
show clearly that it is possible for
nations to join together without any
serious conflict.
Then the unity and peacefully inter-
course between the American coun-
tries clearly points the way toward
internationalism. A whole continent
is bound by ties which are never
broken. The peaceful settlement of
disputes, begun by Chile and Argen-
tine, points to a better day when
war will no longer v nations.
The response given to the Hague
Conference and the movement of the
League to Enforce Peace prove that
at least the leaders of the nations
of the world are learning to think in
international terms.
And, indeed, when we consider the
war fairly and sanely, we can see
that this awful conflict does not
mean that all these movements have
failed. Why did the peaceful settle
ment of disputes, the Hague Confer
ences, and the movement toward the
League to Enforce Peace fail? Was
it because all the nations hated peace?
No. A study of the situation reveals
the fact the Teutonic powers always
opposed these aims. Such move
ments interferred with their militaris-
tic aims of a great Central European
empire. England too opposed, large
ly because she knew that Germany's
aims must eventually include her
downfall, and unless Germany con-
sented to disarmament she never
could. But the consistent opposition
of Germany and Austria prevented
the success of all peace movements.
But is there anything hopeful in
the outlook toward internationalism ?
Indeed there is. Hamilton Fyfe. who
knows Russia, says that the Russians
have the most International outlook
of any race on earth. Italy was neu-
trail until the outrages upon Belgium
aroused her latent war spirit. Every
one knows that France does not de-
sire any world or continental suprem-
acy. A speaker representing the Ad-

m~inistrat;on, who was in England AT
the time Of her declaration of war,
said the attitude Of Great Britain was
certainly inspiring. Never, he said,
did any nation desire war less. but
never did any nation ~consecrate her
self so wholly to a noble task, and
throw her power ami resources so
unselishly and broadly into a con-
f1ict. And last, our dear old United
States has gone into this conflict with
a spirit that has aroused the world
to q realization that we are not a
dollar-mad people, but a race which
looks toward the welfare of humani-
ty.
There is q necessity, and a vital
one, for each American citizen to
have an international viewpoint. In
spite Of all that may seem dark and
dlscouraging, we are living in an age
when national lines are being broken
down, and each individual has his
part to play in the great international
drama. And the American people
must be ready. Our national ideals
have been definitely outlined. Our
president in his wonderful pre-war
speech in the senate, clearly showed
our stand to the world. Small ma
lions must have the privilege to live
and develop as they please side by
side with their o powerful neigh
bors. No ace or nation shall DOM
mate another without its consent.
Even in his speech urging
our declaration Of war with
Germany, President Wilson, speak
ing for the united American
people, did not sink to the level of
race hatred. I'VE are" he said, mot
lighting, the German people, but the
Imperial Government" Whether or
not the Imperial Government truly
represents the sentiment of the Ger
man people is, of course, open to ques-
ton. But this speech brought out the
fact that we are not fighting the Ger
mans as a people; we are merely
lighting their enslaving policy. And
any time they desire to throw off their
yoke of militarism and their desire to
secure a "place in the sum-" we as a
people will aid them all we can. For
we realize their greatness as a race.
1T is a tribute to the noble sentiment
OF America that our leaders have
recognized their greatness as a race,
and their achievements in art, music,
literature and science.
PSoSC ICIIIS WHICH we nave
given to the world as our condition
for laying down arms, are merely a
more clear and unmistakable repeti-
ton of the statements of our leaders.
Since we, as a nation, have taken
our stand for worldwide democracy
and freedom, shall not we as individuals
learn to have the international view
point? It is hard at first to do this.
We, az a nation, have a wonderful
heritage and we are proud of it. 1t
is natural that we should think that
our flag is the most beautiful and
our nation the best. But because we,
as a nation have taken a stand side
by side with u allies, and because
we have always been among the first
in all movements toward international
unity, we must get the international
viewpoint. Even though we are
fighting Germany, we must recognize
all that is good in her. We must
realize that every nation and every
race has it's w part to play, and it's
own particular contribution to make

The tendency in airplanes has been to run to two extremes-for fighting, as small and fast as possible; and for bombing, as large and powerful as possible. In a three-seated, one passenger sits out in front mounted In a machIne-gun turret. The pilot comes next, immediately behind tIfe motor, while the second passenger sits behind him mounted in another ma chIne-gun turret. This alrplane is capable of carrying many hunded pounds of explosives and, being very fast and heavily armed, generally ac- cOmpliSheS Its mission.
 The German albatross is capable of horizontal speed of 300 kilOmeters (about 1S7 mileS) an hour. It is a single scatter and carries three ma chine guns, which, being controlled by the motor, shoot automatically and si- multaneously through the propeller. The sight of these weapons converges at approximately 90 yards in front of the airplane. making the chance of hitting the opponent three times as sure.

The United States Shipping Board Recruiting Service at Boston issues the following:
 stanton H. King, of Boston, has the only war job Of it's kind. He is official chantie man for the Am erican merchant marine. His work will be to revive chantie singing among merchant sailors who will join the country's new cargo ships through the United states Shipping Board Recruiting Service, nation s.l headquarters of which are at Boston.
 While chantie singing has declin- cd on all seas, owing to the change in recent years from sailing yes sels to steamers-there not being much opportunity to "heave ana haur' on board steamer its re- viyal is considered important TOT two reasons.
 Chanties insure team work when crew are pulling on ropes, even aboard steamers; while the build ing of large numbers of American schooners means an incneased de- maud for men who can reef, hand and steer" on sailing. vessels where chantie singing used to flourish.
 The Shipping Board trains men t. serve on steamers, but if a certain percentage ship on sailing vessels and carry with them the almost lost knack of chantie sing ing, they will be the better equip ped for their work, according to sharps on the seafaring game.
 Stanton H. King probably is the country's best known chantie sing- or. Chantie singing is part of a weekly entertainment he gives Jack ashore at 8 mission of whlch he is head. The program Is usually varied, and to hear MT. Kng lead his sailor friends in "Shenandoah' Bound for the Rio Grande," or Blow the Man Down" is to un- derstaat the psychologist punch Of the well-sung chantie.
 MT. King is an old salt, and learned chartie singing in its home on deep-water vessels. He began going to sea 3S years ago, from the Barbados, in the merchant service. For six years he serT- ed chiefly on deep-water yankee ships. In January, 1886, he found him. self st Boston and joined the Navy there for cruise around the world in the Alliance.
 Having become greatly interested in the welfare of the sailor while a sailor himself, he next went to the Moody school for two years, and in the spring of 1893 started the Sailors Haven at Charlestown, Mass, alongside a barroom.
 The Haven developed into a un- ique institution, and 1t is widely known among sailors.
