ancient policy of withholding the
names of it's contributors until three
months after the publication of their
articles). Mr.. Paul's point is inter
estingly taken; and portion of his
article, "Why a League" which is
one of a series called "The Greater
Adventure" appears below:
"Reacting from the worlds foolish
satisfaction Of few years ago that an
other universal war was an utter i'm
possibility, too many men and women
have, with rather too little disquiet,
accepted the philosophy which says
in effect that the recent war had to be,
that it came in the natural and in
evitable course of events, as other wars
no doubt will come, and that it could
not have been prevented by any human
means or foresight-in short, that
wars, having always been, must always
continue to be, just as men scarcely
half a century ago were convincing
themselves, and resting satisfied in the
conviction, that human slavery would
always be because 1t always had been,
and just as some good men and women
OF to-day still argue that the so-called
social evil must always exist because
forsooth there were stews In ancient
Egypt. Man is not 80 powerless to re-
lieve himself from the evils Of his
early savage state We have power

progressed in many ways, and nothing
but cowardice or self-mistrust could
prompt us to rest satisfied without
further progress.
"The recent war did not have to be-
It came from wrongs that need not
have been, wrongs deliberately perpe-
trated by men who knew that they were
wrongs, and who ought to have known
the inevitable results. It came from
a structure OF society, or rather lack
Of structure, which men knew was evil
and yet tolerated. 1t came from selfish
ambition which all men knew existed
and yet against which they failed to
make the slightest provision. 1t came
because we talked too much OF our
twentieth century civilization, forget
ting that civilization is not mere
matter Of time and dates, but Of what
men do and what they will, and that
from like causes come like results
whether in the twentieth century o,

religion?" writes Chaplain
Murray in "The Dauphine
Doughboy," published in
Grenoble, France. And he con-
tinues:
"How many times are chapiains
asked that question, always with the
implied thought that merely because a
man has put on khaki he has. in some
unexplainable manner, become differ
ent from other men; that he has sud-
denly experienced some radical change
in his very nature, making it utterly
impossible for him to be regarded In
any other light than that of a new
specimen of human being, totally diff
ferent from all others and as present
ing a very distinct and wholly new
problem, In so far as his mental make
up is concerned
'The absurdity of such q viewpoint
becomes evident, even after the
most limited investigation of the So
called problem. No one could resent
more violently than does the citizen
soldier himself the insinuation that
simply because he happens to be wear
ing, for the time being, the uniform
which Uncle Sam prescribes in such
an emergency as the present, he must
necessarily change his politics or his
religion or cease, in a certain sense. to
maintain his individuality, or that 1t
Is necessary for him to permit his
thinking to be altered according to
some set pattern or mode. He refuses
to have his inborn Americanism stifed
or his rights as free thinking indi-
vidual curtailed by permitting him
self to sink passively into state in
which his own opinions with regard
to religion Or anything else become
merely the reflection of what the rest
of the bunch think.
80, then, when one asks the cues
tion, is the soldier interested in re-
ligion?' he is either consciously or
unconsciously insinuating that in his
regard the soldier is no longer repre-
sentative citizen, but that he has for
feited his right to that distinction and
become thing apart, that he is not
to be included among those OF whom
the question might be asked. IS the
average American man interested in
religion?'
"The fact is that any investigation
Of what or how the soldier thinks re-
garding religion or politics or the
hight cost of living does not reveal so
much what differentiated class thinks
as it does of the representative thought
life of the nation itself. To find out
what the soldier thinks is to find out
what the average man of America
thinks, whether it be about one thing
or another. The big question, after all,
Is not what do men think about religion.
but what do they think about Chris
tianity, and what are we who profess

all heroic souls who are trying to over
coma the obstacles in their environ
ment. Struggle is wholesome and
everlastingly necessary.
WAR means organized fighting en-
masse and destruction Of ones own
species. 1t has no counterpart in the
animal world. A pack of wolves never
attacks another pack of wolves A nest
Of snakes never attacks another nest of
snakes. Man alone systematically de-
stroys his fellows, not because it is IN
stinct, but because a few control the
many and can frighten, allure or bribe
them into 1t. Human nature has very
little to do In creating long-prepared
organized slaughter with modern ma
chinery. The common people in no
country wanted to go to war In 1914.

Covered Itself With Credit.

The Washington soldier. who is the
son of Henry f. Isemann, declares
that all the hattalions commissioned
officers were fine men. Many men
from this city, he says, had been pro-
NOTED to non-commissioned posts by
the time he was injured, and he fur
Their states that he thinks the entire
personnel of the battalion covered it
self with credit in its campaigning.
The 10Th Division, of which it was a
unit. was twice cited for gallantry
and efficiency by French military
leaders. Isemann says the men, about
three-1ourths of whom are from the
National Capital We're well taken
care of, and, aside from casualties
suffered. are in excellent physical
condition. Iseman himself has re-
turned some twenty pounds heavier
than when he left.
Corp. 1semann is now a patient at
Walter Reed Hospital. He expects his
honorable discharge almost any day.
If ne cares to resume it, his position
with The Star is open to him the
same day.

Made Dash for Sedan.

After a ten-day rest at Courauvre,
says Isemann, the battalion went to
the st. Mihiel sector to help hold the
ground gained in the big drive of
early September. Next they went to
the verdun front and were stationed
east of the Mouse. They participated
in the next drive in that region,
which had Sedan for its objective.
The battalion had taken a hill. and
was holding it against Hun counter
attack. This was the first time the
District gunners had seen the Teutons
coming toward them. The gun to
which he was attached had just been
set up on the edge of she'll hole
when Isemann. before he could get
back to cover. reviewed what seemed
like a heavy blow that knocked him
perfectly nat. This was the bullet
which, in soldier parlance. had his
name on it, He was able to walk
back to dressing station. whence
he went in a truck to an evacuation
hospital and later to base hospital No.
