would if definite frontiers were given to

My impressions are gathered after
travelling thousands of miles and talk
ing with Turks in many places. The
Turks prefer American control to Euro
pean control, as Europeans acquire land
and mix IN local politics. The Turks
realize that they are incapable of self

they might show capability after twenty

AS whole nations and groups of ma
tions make modern war, so whole ma
tions and groups of nations make
modern peace. The first move in this
line is the international trade confer
ence which will be held in Atlantic
City September 80 to October 3.
There the leading business men of
Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy
and the United States will get to-
gether. President Wilson will be M
vited to deliver an address.
Economic Warfare.
'War is over. but peace is not yet
here" says Homer l.. Ferguson, pres
ident of the United States Chamber
of Commerce. under whose auspices
the conference will be held. Men no
longer kill one another in the
trenches, but economic warfare. al
ways destructive to industrial life,
often is destructive to human life as
well. Europe is only in course of re-
cuperation. Men are out of work be-
cause factories have not yet been re-
constructed, or there is no raw ma
teriaI, or there is no plan in operation
for financing the purchase of raw ma
terial. The best minds in the country
are unanimous in the belief that
trade processes throughout the world,
or the effect of the European condi-
tons will react on the United States
'"The international trade conference
will undertake to set the wheels of
commerce in motion, in the hope and
belief this depression will be prevent
ed thereby. 1t will be a second peace
conference. The one at Paris fixed
political boundary lines. The one at
Atlantic City will try to re-establish
confidence. and make universal trad
ing possible again.
The future of the world depends
on the solution of the trade problem.
The United States being neither in
peace nor in war. every industry is
disturbed by the uncertainty of the
situation. All elements of society are
ready to turn to a program that Will
make the world function again; that
will find supply for demand, and de-
mand for supply.
America, which can produce vastly
more than it needs for its own use.
must have a market for the surplus.
How can the market be made stable
when world bankruptcy is threat
ened? Everybody in America, whether
he be capitalist or laborer, farmer or
merchant, manufactur or banker,
will have difficulty adjusting his af-
fairs for the future until this ques-
tion is answered. The international

In the Near East.

Constantinople, Turkey. - Two
American nurses, Miss Margaret Mack
Of Hillburn, N. Y, and Miss Ruth
Stuart of New York city, working for
the American commission for relief in
the e East, declined to abandon the
sick and wounded at Shusha, Armenia,
after having themselves survived q
massacre by Tartars of 700 of the
Christian inhabitants of the town, &C
cording to a letter just received here
by Maj. David g. Arnold of Provi-
dence, R, l., director of the commits
sion.
"Our doctor and nurses were in the
midst of the fight, but were unharm-
ed" says the letter. "On advice from
General Beach I recalled the two
nurses. They came reluctantly as
there was an urgent need for them
among the survivors. The spirit Miss
Mack and Miss Sturant have shown
has been splendid and I felt that they
should be. allowed to return If they
went as volunteers. They signed pa
pers to the effect that they knew the
danger and that they were returning
to their work at their own request"
MendIng Magnetos With Thread.
A humorous touch to an otherwise
tragic situation Is related by a relief
worker at Oulou Kishla, who writes:
"The men working out from Oulou
Kishla are covering a large territory
and obtaining large experience. Their
chief outdoor sport is lodging camel
trains and leaping culverts. Coaxing
the missing spark. plug from its hiding
place vies with mending magnetos with
thread as the chief form of recreation.
1t is a rule that after the explosion Of
the twelfth tire each day the ffivver
knocks off and it's riders camp for the
night, sharing their pillows with any
rowing dromedary in the vicinity, and
giving a treat to the predatory mos
q~uitoes. There is a warm box car in
Oulou Kishla, and a cook loaned to
the commission by Mr.. Oscar Of the
Waldorf. No M is to have his name
or address because the world is full of
guile"
The commission has lost three merp-
bers by death, Paul d. Pelter of New
York city, the Rev. r. s. M. Emerich
and Miss Edith NJ. Winchester of Phil
adelphia, who was among the first to
volunteer for work in the typhus rid

Starving Children Die Daily.

From Batoum comes word that
"there are 10000 Greek refugees

speech is quite the most extraordinary
thing in this book. "With what might
very well have been thought the superb
indifference of disdain," Mr.. Low writes,
"with what the public might very well
believe was utter contempt for what it
said OF thought or believed-but which, in
fact, was an extraordinary exhibition of
courage and lf-control-Mr. Wilson dis
missed the matter as if it were too trivial
to require further attention" And then
the writer makes this all the worse by
showing how the Presidents Southern
training caused him to use the VOID
"proud" in the sense Northerners or Eng
ishmen use the word "self-respect"! If,
as Mr.. Low writes on almost the next
page, "Better than any other man Mr..
Wilson knew the temperament of his own
people" it is hardly fair for even an in
terpreter Of his character to say that the
mendous and unhappy impression ere
ated among his own people by that IN
fortunate phrase.
If the description of the Presidents
reaction to that "too proud to fight"
speech is the most extraordinary in this
study, the chapter picturing Mr.. Wilson
as "The Evangelist is the least happy.
1t represents him as being filled with de-
sire to make the people of America united
in war for an ideal, "they must be made
to fight for an idea no less than an ideal
and in a spirit of knight errantry go forth
to battle" As it happens, distinguished
Colonel of the Regular Army once told
this reporter that that was just the spirit
he saw in the eyes OF the hundreds of
thousands Of young American soldiers
who passed under his observation through
the port of embarkation in Hoboken. But
what Mr.. Low shows is that it was the at
titude of the American people that did
the evangelizing in this case, and it was
Mr.. Wilson WHO was evangelical and not
the people. For we read here (of the
President) "yet fourteen months later he
was to recant, publicly and without quail
ifcation, making no attempt to soften his
abjuration but honestly admitting he had
been mistaken and was now anxious to
make profession of his repentance"
Quite the best appreciation in these
pages is of Mr. Wilson's handling of the

him "The Tiger" In view of recent
discussions in Pans journals over
Viviani's statement in the Chamber of
Deputies on February that the French
army had been withdrawn eight or ten
kilometers from the frontier on the night
of July 80, 1914, Gin order that the
French Government might demonstrate
that its attitude was not hostile" one
might imagine that the fact was either in
doubt or profound mystery. Yet here
we read Clemenceau stating on August
4, 1914: ENEMY troops are spread
along the boundary line, while our own
are wisely. kept back at distance of ten
hlometers in order that action may not
be engaged on our side until after the
act of German aggression can no longer
be contested" How soon are the facts
Of history forgotten by man living amidst
them!
But Clemenceau has his gentler side
when the poet that is In every French
man CLEANS forth. He wrote in Oeto
Der, 1914: "The other day Lieutenant
Colonel, in front Of his men erouching on
the ground, was seriously wounded. The
shells were raging. But three men in
stantly rushed forward and, with three
rifles for a stretcher, tried to take the
officer to a place of safety, without CIV
ing attention, for themselves, to the shells
that were exploding. This is nothing as

a crisis out OF which will come men dis
posed to a new order"
He sketches the German idea of the "su-
preme rule of iron force over the fallen
Lac" and shows that as a result of this
idea ''there burst out the greatest and most
furious battle between men upon which
the sun has ever risen. A whole people,
ignobly trained to understand nothing and
to love nothira; but the savage force Of
which they consented to remain the VIC
tim for the joy Of being the instrument Of
it against others, was let loose upon Eu-
rope like an ID resistiblc army of machines
Of death prepared to shatter all before
them. Let Us do them the homage Of say
ing that they played their role to perfec-
ton. Cities with their finest historical
monuments an their most precious treas
ures Of scienc.: and art have gone up in
flames before the torch Of destructive Kul
tur. Destruction Of the humblest home as
well as Of the noblest edifces, pillage, rob
berry, assassination, massed murder follow
ing nameless tortures Of educated barba-
rism, the most execrable outragns upon
human beingsI the most revolving, shame
less acts Of Hasts in delirium-such, in
plain terms, is the record Of these brutes
in their work Of cultured Teutonization.
Have they not martyred and butchered
women and childreni Did they not mock
with the retciiings of their unspeakable
banter the passengers of the Lusitania
sinking under heir piratical torpedof In
their record vii be lacking no disgrace or
degradation" Swift in his moot bitter
moments glimmers like a candle before
the incandesofce of Clemenceau's just in
vectivel
The speeches in the book are grouped
into nine parts. Beginning as long ago
as 1908 we can read how this great states
man felt the foreshadowing of the coming
attempt of Gtrmany to conquer France,
and never Of &c did Clemeneeau cease
preaching to Us countrymen that that or
deal was before them His war speeches
proper are to be found from Part I'LL

words with their bite, their high cour-

military situation. Mr. Low writes, and
justly: "He was determined there should
be no civilian interference with the mil
itary authority. The scandal
of the political General should not be re-
peated in this war. Mr.. Wilson did not
know whether he had at hand military
genius, whether he had any man suffi-
GENTLY versed in the tactics Of modern
warfare and with the requisite ability to
take command Of an army that must
eventually rank with those Of allies and
enemies, but he knew that if men trained
in the profession of arms, who had given
their lives to the study of their profess
sion, who were not without actual expe-
rience of war, limited although it had
been, were not fit to command it was
not likely he would discover a hidden
genius among politicians or men with po-
litical influence" It is only those Amer
leans who know well the pages Of Upton's
History of the Military Policy Of the
United States that know Mr.. Wilson was
thes first President of our country to let
the trained officers of the Regular Army
direct our military operations on land as
it was left to our professional naval OIL
GERS to direct the sea forces. That was
one advantage, at least, of being SCHOOL
MASTER; it made the pedagogue believe
in the fruits of his own profession.
Mr.. Low brings his study to an end with
two chapters on The War President and
History and the Verdict. In the last
named he writes: "Mr. Wilson, after five
wears in the searchlight of hundred
million curious and inquisitive people, re-
mains as remote, as unknown, as elusive
a personality as if he belonged to another
sphere. His few, his very few, intlmates
may know him, but his own people and
the world at large do not" We differ
from Mr.. Low most decidedly in this re-
spect and make so bold as to affirm that
it the people of America do not know a
great deal about their President and his
character by this time they will certainly
learn little more through the pages or
this misrepresentation representation OF
him.
