This Changing World

1t is only Il century and quarter since
the RED Terror" famed in France. The
horror, mingled with much that was
spired has probably more deeply intlu
enced political thought since that time
than any other drama in history The
revolution in Russia is on a far grander
scale. 1t involves nation Of above a
hundred and fifty millions. The whole
population of France at the time of the
overturn of the monarchy could not
much have exceeded twenty millions
twenty-five at the outside The horrors
of '93 were confined largely to the vicin
like La Vendee. Apparently the Red Ter
ror stalks the length Of Russia, and. its
cruelties, its massacres, its fierce strug
giles in many respects far exceed those
which characterized the uprising of the
populace in France.
The telegraph, the cable and the wire
less transmit the intelligence of these
horrors to all the world. The characters
of Lenine, Trotzky and their kindred are
the subject Of discussion in cities in re-
mote parts Of the earth which did not
exist in the days of Marat and Robe
spierre. Yet the butcheries which are
taking place in Russia excite relatively
little attention. There is slight real incli-
nation to intervene. 1t may perhaps be
said that the chief peoples of the earth
have more weighty matters to think of,
that they are desperately interested in
desperate war and have little time to
regard the abysmal plight of even the
largest of the Western nations. 1t may
be, too, that the seemingly supine sub
mission of the Russian public to hand
full of visionaries and mercenaries has
alienated sympathy which might
otherwise be active and warm.
All this may be true. We have merely
to point out the changed perspective
which little more than hundred years
has wrought. In the Russian revolution
there are no distinguished figures. no
Mirabeaus, no Dantons, nothing but a
few cheap counterfeits with little SEM
blance of the heroic The Russian
tragedy does not seem part Of really
sublime struggle for human liberty. It
seems merely sordid and venal struggle
for power among a people who seem to
have lost, if they ever possessed, that
courage and hard endurance which alone
give people the right and the power to
rule themselves.
Perchance the world has moved con-
siderable way since '93. Values have
distinctly changed. But there will be'no

tion one of the most thrilling and color

was probably captured by Ruthenian
Austrians, assisted by detachments from
the Ukraine. The Poles have just re-
captured it,
Poland is, therefore, at dagger's points

control of Fiume and are objecting to
Italian occupation of the eastern coast

Sisters of Charity threw themselves into the

can face the entire world and say that if
there is blood on our hands there is none on
our conscience. And yet we call out to
America Don't be too generous"
And it is because have seen all that,
it is because we have suffered all that, that
we never ceased to say that this was not an
ordinary war, but that it was holy war, in

and suffered all that that we say day that
we we're not fighting against nation, or
against race, against creed, but that
we fighting against perjury, against
corruption, against the power itself of evil.
If at this hour, when the dreadful night
mare is passing away, mutilated France
could make another appeal to America, her
sister and friend, she would say to her,
Don't be too generous"
Every one will admit that throughout her
long and troublous history France has al
ways been the land of chivalry, generosity
and humanity. Even inEhis atrocious war,
when it came to hand d-to-hand fighting in the

The other Huns, the predecessors Of the
Huns Of to-day, when several centuries ago
they invaded France they at least showed
some pity. They spared town, the French
town of Troyes, in Champagne, at the re-
quest of the bishop of the town. But the
Huns of to day, they have spared nothing;
they have killed old men, they have killed
women, they have even killed trees, so
great was their lust for killing.

which was forbidden and which was al
