IF WE COULD only KNOW.

II we could but know what this war actually means
there would be no need for effort to arouse interest in it
There might be need, there would be need, for somebody
to tell us what to do about 1t. and how each Of US might
fit in to the best advantage: but there would be no such
thing as indifference. There would be no need for an
arousing Of the people, for with real understanding would
come such an arousing as would fire every heart and in
spre every soul with the determination to dare every
thing and sacrifice everything In order that the world
might be rid Of the curse which greed, and lust and am
bition have cast upon it.
We know that there is war. We have read about it.
We have heard 1t discussed. We have talked about it
ourselves. And we are agreed that 1t is a cruel, a merci-
less. a horrible thing. Its enormities are a little nearer
to US than those Of Nero, or those Of that scourge of God
whom the modern Atilla has taken for his prototype. But
1t is not yet fully and completely our war because the full
realization of it has not yet been burned in upon us. 1t

In a dispatch TO the Times from London 1t was stat
ed yesterday that Lloyd George was once in favor IF

command Of a single Generalissimo, and 1t added: IF a
military genius had arisen on the side OF the allies, no

1t is only too true, however it may be az to the as
sumed possibility Of getting any except distinctly vaasal
nations to give up the control Of their own forces. tnat

general deserving to be called a military genius in the

Paris. March Ito US at home, a
baby doesn't amount to very much,
except as d matter of sentiment and
family curiosity. The uncles and
aunts and neighbors come sround to
give it the "once-over." and say that
may be. and go away and think what
they think about its claims to beauty,
and make a record of its date in the
birthday book.
OF cours we're not meaning to in
ttiHlate that each particular baby isn't
a wonderful baby. and hat it isn't
surrounded with a wealth of love, or
that il isn't a happily assumed re-
