have been easy to find an acceptable
solution for the two relatively small
points left In dispute between Vienna
and Belgrade. and that given good
will everything could have been set
tied in one or two sittings' Of the
body proposed by Sir Edward.
"A hint from Berlin would have
been enough to make Count Bcrchtold
less satisfied with a diplomatic success
and to cause his acquiescencc in the
Serbian reply. What happened?
GERMANY PRESSED FORWARD
TO BRING ABOUT WAR
This hint was not given: on the
contrary. we pressed forward Sir Ed
ward besought Germany TO make
proposal of her own: we insisted upon
war The Russian Foreign Minister
made urgent appeals and definite de-
clarations and later the Russian En-
peror sent positively humble tclc-
grams in vain. Berlin went on insist
ing that Serbia must be !nassacrcd'
AT last Count Bcrchtold himself
wnvercd. lie had hitherto stayed the
strong man on instructions from Bcr-
lin. and he decided to change his
course. Then Germany cut short all
hopes Of peace b. herself declaring
war.
Prince Lichnowsky speaks of the
'pcrfidy' Of the policy he WAS used TO
cloak. but Il Is not chiefly upon scnti-
mental or even upon moral grounds
that he condemned the German sys-
tenn. 1t is the folly rather than the
wickedness of German statecraft which
he reDrobates. II is quite unnecessary.
he insists. for Germany to trouble her
self about Austria. Austria-Hungnry
might have been turned into "a vassai
or the German empire without an al
lance at all. Germany could always
keep her in tow by cultivatinE good
relations with Russa.
WAR ESSENTIAL TO CLASS
INTERESTS OF NIILITARfSTS
But Prussian miiitarists were bent
upon war which was essential 20 their
own class interests
when the cX-ambassador visited
Wilhelmstrassc on his return from
London. he was told. that in any case
there would have been war IN 1916.
but then Russia would have been
ready, and so it was better now In
the face OF these facts. many of which
must have passed under his eyes.
Lichnowsky is not astonished that the
rest Of the world should look upon
German policy as II does. He finds IL
intelligible that the allies should vow
the destruction OF Il system which is a
permanent menace 20 Germany's neigh
bors. that they should be afraid to
spare the system, lest Germany should
force another defensive war upon
them; that they should believe the
German people 10 be animated by the
spirit OF Bernhardi that they should
look upon Germany as still ruled by n
caste of fcudal knights and Junkcrs.
That, he owns, is what Germany's enc
mics think and what they are bound
20 think. He does not consider that
her future prospects are brillia nt
Central Europe he declares. is medic
"alism. and Berlin % Bagdad is cul
de sac The struggle she has provoked
will end IN triumph for her opponents
and she will remain alone with Austria
and Hungary. Such is the punishment
he foresees for her folly and her per-
fdy in provoking the b!oodiest war
that has ever scourgcd the nations of
the world"

little further and say that there is
ever a song everyWhere-if we have
the ear attuned to it.
The cultured musicians will tell you
that what the masters sing in thelI
strange and complex studies is the
highest music to those who are trained
to catch it. But the simple heart finds
the harmony in the simple, lowly mel
odes.
What to the one class is purest mu.
sic is to the other meaningless noise.
Ii we just knew how to listen we could
love the songs OF each. To some the
Jingle of money is the only music in
the world. 1t deafens them to all 9TH
er sounds. To some the melody OF
their own names spoken in praise is
the only music worth hearing. The
ears of these seem to open inward.
The greedy and the vain shrink their
whole world to their own size.
But to those who can hear it there
is a song in every phase of life. For.
tunate is he who can hear more than

This woman has been one of the
first applicants for relief from the
home service of the Red Cross. Her
husband had volunteered in the army,
md, after his enlistment, she had done
such heavy work that her health had
broken down. She had been i'll in bed
and had been attended by a doctor
who had signed false certificates for
her insurance. Finally, in despair, she
sent word to the local Red Cross.
The Red Cross home worker came to

and 1t was found that she had incip-
lent tuberculosis. She was Immediate
ly sent for treatment to a tuberculosis
iispensary, where she remained dur
Ing the summer. Within a few months
she had improved so wonderfully that
she could hardly be recognized as the
same woman.
This was only one of q very large
number of cases in which the Red
Cross has proved a blessing to the
families of our fighting men.
War disturbs the even current Of
our lives. Few indeed are the families
who are not intimately touched by the
call which has gone forth to the young
men of the nation. Sons, brothers,
fathers, and close friends have gone to
the training camps, or will soon go.
They will leave more gladly If they
can be assured that the ones they love
are being watched and cared for in
every possible way during their alb
