all exempt from compunctious visitings
of nature--but you cannot have perfect
logic if you yield to your human feelings.
The devils work which Germany has
done for four years and more is indeed
an obstacle to true pacifism, If one per-
sists in dwelling on details. 1t requires
highly superior mind to follow the Cad
burys of this world in pious pity for as
sassins, ravishers and pirates. But if
one forgets the Lusitania, Aerschot, Lou
vain, the prison camps, the helpless
women carried off into slavery and worse,
then international fellowship" with Ger
many included, becomes at once great
ideal. Nor is it impossible to be merciful
to brntes who have not injured you or
yours. But this quality of logic is at
tainable only by the few. 1t is easier to
expound the pacitist principle more
vaguely, to talk of treating friends and
foes with equal justice, to distinguish be-
tween the good German people and the
wicked German government. Thus you
can still be superior to the poor human
being who sees red when he hears Of
abominable atrocities and thinks Of those
who committed them with bitter wrath
1t is we'll to contemplate the compleat
pacifist in the tineness of his Towering.
1t is like the flower of the death plant
beautiful in spots, but ghastly thing.
New-York tribune., 1918-11-06
The Compleat Pacifist

From that hotbed of pacifsm, Haver-
ford College, has come a letter that is
stirring all Philadelphia and the country
round about to passionate protest. The
writer is Professor Henry j. Cadbury,
genial soul, who loves the Huns as fell
low men, and is disturbed by their pres
ent unpopularity can orgy of hate" is
the way he describes the general feeling
in America toward them. He cries out
against it in The Philadelphia Public
Ledger "as Christian and patriotic
American"
Whereupon various indignant CORE
spondents deny both his Christianity and
his patriotism. And, indeed it is bit
trying just at this time to be told that
our nation is the greatest obstacle to a
clean peace and the least worthy of it."
that we are Intoxicated with the first
taste Of BLOOD" that we condemn in ad-
vance the soberly phrased pleas of con-
cliatory foe"
The picture is not quite easy to focus
savage America repudiating the advances
of gentle Germany
Yet is not Professor Cadbury after all
the compleat pacifist? His language is
unwontedly strong, it is true. Few of
his tribe would go so far as to say that
we are more heather and bloodthirsty"
than the Kaiser and his Junkers. But
that only shows the danger of being too
logical. For 'the assurance of safer
and saner international fellowship. dis
tinguishing justice and mercy from blind
revenge" is above all else what the pac;-
fist wants. Consequently, if Germany is
pleading for peace we should grant the
request at once in the name of "interna-
tlonal fellowship" AS the professor puts
1T, we should "keep ourselves in the mood
of moderation and fair play" And al
though this is little difficult when we
read of the sinking of the Leinster or Of
the tragedy of evacuated Bohain, it is
strictly in accord with paciist principles.
! rev pacfists, perhaps, would use the
professors exact language-they are not
