WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER p. 1918
WE ARE THANKFUL.

he return OF late November naturally
prompts the question, what are we spe.
cially thankful for this year," MANY
times the outrush of our intelligence to
seize upon the significance OF recent
events and their possible reaction upon
the welfare of small or large social
groups, fails to carry us even as far as a
temporary identification with the Ameri-
can national consciousness. Now, how
ever, the mind quickly passes beyond the
borders OF our country and we are con.
strained to identify ourselves with the
seething life of man all over the globe,
and we feel that nothing short OF this
can satisfy u.s.
There are those who argue that the
great war was inevitable, that it had to
come. There is much, very much, to
Justify this view. Autocracy had shaped,
deliberately and patiently, a host of
minds, each, as it were, u storage battery
charged with the same grade of force and
all ready TO unite the combined energy
in destructive bolts of lightning when the
hand OF the chief engineer adjusted the
connections and threw the switch. The
switch was thrown, the energy is spent,
and We know the story Of blasted lives
and territories that followed the act.
[ What are the great lessons that will
sink into the minds Of millions of people
who obeyed the behest of autocracv
whether voluntarily or involuntarilv
blindlv or open-eyed? The more impor.
tant are two in number; that the people
were deceived in believing that the war
was TO defend Germany and her allies
/ from aggression, and that labor per.
! formed to strengthen an autocracv, BY
the people under its sway, is nothing
more nor less than riveting new shackle.

knees. This is altogether a bad wear 70,

Nultitudes face the issue Of life or death
from starvation. The downfall of gov.
ernments has permitted clash of force,
with a strong manifestation OF anarchy
and of appalling conditions as a natura
consequence. Nevertheless, very many il

that order and subordination to JUS
principles can save them and that nothing
else can. We hope that the war delug,
has destroyed autoeracy, and we believ
it has.
