At this critical juncture in the war
for the preservation of those prin-
ciples of national and personal free
dom which have been nowhere more
sedulously fostered than in Britain,
whence they were carried to the
American continent to inspire the
great document upon which rests the
constitution Of the United States, it
is of more than ordinary interest to
observe that the pacifist attitude to-
wards this war has been paralleled
on other occasions when liberal ideal
lists have had to close their ars to
the sentimental pleas of mis-called
"humanitarians" and lovers Of
peace"
Among British statesmen few have
a higher reputation in the sphere of
foreign politics than George Canning,
the eloquent follower of Pitt and
himself foreign minister during the
five years preceding his death in
1927. Canning Identified himself and
Britain with the movements in Eur
ope which lent countenance, if not
actual support. to various nationals
ties struggling to escape oppression
and to breathe the air Of ~independ-
ence. Despite his essentially liberal
views. however. he I've hesitated in
his support Of the policy OF persist
ent opposition to the ambitions and
military power of Napoleon Bona
parte. In 1912, during an election
campaign in Liverpool, Canning re-
ferred to the mistaken attitude of
those who would have compromised,
for the sake Of ending the war, with
Napoleon. He said:
Lovers of peace! Who are not
lovers of peace in. the abstract?
Friends and advocates .sf war! Who
are 81 mad or so malignant as to pre-
fer war for wars sake? Who are ad-
vocates of war, as war, any more than
of famine or of pestilence? They
who indulge themselves in such loose
and general propositions must surely
be conscious that they are deceiving
the audience whom they address.
They must know that the questions
of peace and war are amongst the
most difficult and complicated ques-
tions that human imagination can
conceive, or that human genius can
be called upon to disentangle! "
In what a state of the world is it that
these gentlemen-ta of peace, and of
themselves as the lovers Of peace,
just as calmly as if it were only a
mere question of taste and fancy; as
it to choose were to have and to
have were securely to enjoy! .
"The storm is abroad. For pur-
poses inscrutable to US. it has pleased
Providence to let loose upon mankind
a scourge of nations, who carries
death and devastation into the re-
hottest n of the earth. But,
amidst this universal havoc, this gen.

DRY GOODS DEALERS
 AND WAR SERVICE
States Arranging Meeting at
Washington Oct. , and }.

Washington, D. C.. Sept 25.-The States, through it's War Service Exc cutive committee, is proceeding to or ganize war service committee of the retail drygOods and department store trade. A meeting for the pur- pose of creating the committee will be called in Washington for October and 3. In view of the large num- Der of retail dry goods and depart ment store establishments in the country-estimate at close to 0,00O the trade will be informed of the meeting largely by means of publica- ton. Commercial bodies will be asked to call meetings of merchants to arrange representation.
 The plan for a war service com mittee of this trade had it's inception in recent efforts to have changed the policy of the Council of National De- fense with respect to Christmas buy ing After the Councils decision to modify it's attitude was announced it was found there still remained con- siderable task in aCQuainting the re- tail trade with the situation. The Re tail Dry Goods association is perform ing a distinct service in this regard, but it's membership is small and 1t was felt that a committee should be formed representing the entire in dustry, both organized and unor- ganzed. The association is joining in the call for the conference.
 The plan for forming war serv- ice committee in this trade is pre- liminary to creating committees in all lines of the retail trade. Some are already organized. When committees have been formed in all lines it is the purpose to form a central or exc cutive committee which will be in position to deal with the government on all problems that arise.
 The Christmas buying situation is only one of a large number of queS- tiOns that the government will take up with retailers. It is felt that it is necessary that the retail interests of the country be so organized that they can present a united program. The government cln not deal with individuals where there are so many as in the retail business and must have some central point of contract.

DRAWING TOOLS NEEDED.
High school Students Cannot Get In-
 Strulnents Necessary for Course.

At present there is a dearth of available drawing instrum ents in the city and as a result the High school students in the trade school are badly handicapped. It is necessary that each student have his own set of drawing instruments, but not only are they not generally available in the stores, but also those that can be purchased are almost prohibitive in price, Superintendent $. II. Holmes states.
 It is the wish of the school authori- ties that the many men, and those who have recently attended the school who have sets of drawing instrum ents lying idle at their homes will either loan them or sell them.

Marines Charge Wearing Tall
 Hats and Carrying Parasols

Washington. Sept. 24.-President Wilson's son-in-law, Francis B. Sayre, jJest returned from overseas. brings an interesting tale of Americas war activities in Italy and France He dined with the King Victor Emanuel in Rome, inspected "Y" huts on mile A thigh mountain peaks and saw Tank { soldiers go over the top at Chateau \ 8Thierry wearing silk hats and carry ing pink silk parasols.
 ''tT-boats? They're in tho mosquito fleet class now" declared Mir. Sayre. 2They are moro of an annoyance than a menace. Why they zig-za 2 worse than a frightened freighter nowadays, they're so afraid one of our destroyers will depth bomb them since America got busy conveying trans ports."
 Y It. is MT. Sayre's second return to the United States this year after touring the front for the Y. M. C. A.. He has been lecturing at 'Y'' huts, eobserving conditions of war welfare work and doing Jason work. so as x to speak, with the rulers and army bchiefs of our allies.
 While overseas this time, the presidents son-in-law obtained close ups of war while it was bringing fame Ito Americans. He was close behind Uncle Sams barrage at Chateau sThierry, at the battle of Bellecourt wood, and lost one of his soldier es- bort down a crevasse in a glacier while visiting 9 "Y'' hut on a noun tain peak in the Italian Alps.
 we went across the glacier in sleds drawn by dogs, said MT. Sayre. eThat method is fairly safe. That is Vhy" only one of our men vanished.
 But to fight on those mountain Hopes, covered with snow and ice, is
 0 double the risks of war. The of 1cer in charge of our party told me hat, only a few days before, 16 men Df a single detachment were lost in .revasses while fighting the Austrians.' 7

 Meanwhile, the former idealist and Jealous friend of peace seems to have developed into the head of the Amer- can lmperialists. But the plan of q league of nations yet to be established is not to be discredited by such an ac- tion. It has found eloquent advocates in the Swiss president and the NorWc- gIan premier, Knudsen both of whom dwell especially on the interest of neu- tral states in such an institution. I also do not hesitate to express my opinion again today on this question and to indicate publicly the aim and basis of such an association.
