THE WAR is NOT OVER
By DR.. Frank Crane

Copyright, 1919, by Frank Crane)
The fighting is done. The cannon are
silent No more are they digging trenches,
bombing cities, and sinking ships.
But the war is not over.
One woe is past, and behold another.
War is simply one kind of disorder. 1t is
the organization of one nation to destroy
another But there is another kind of dis
order whose possibilities of damage are quite
as great.
1t is Anarchy, the organization of nation
to destroy itself.
And Europe is on the brink.
Every intelligent traveller who returns
from across the ocean bears the same tes-
up.
The prime cause of this is the war, which
stopped production, brought gigantic waste,
and demoralized the population.
Now come hunger and cold
Irritated and stung by physical discomfort,
the people are easy prey to the crazy
fanatic who promises Utopia if his pet
scheme is adopted.
"Arise!" he cries. Strike! This is no
time for paYley. Go up and take the goods
you want from those who have them. Don't
trust government 1t is a Capitalistic fraud.
Use force!"
In other words go and get what you want
AS the Prussians tried to do--by force and
frightfulness.
Mr. Vanderlip reiterates that Europe Is OH
the verge of a tragedy.
Mr. Filene after carefully studying con-
ditions. says the outlook is one of grave
danger.
And here stands rich, resourceful America.
What is our duty?
Certain voices cry: Let Europe alone.
America for Americans. Keep out of Eu-
ropean squabbles. Don't join any League of
Nations!"
In other words, having spent billions of
treasure and thousands of lives saving Eu-
rope from the Hun, let us cut and run when
she is threatened by the Bolsheviki.
This no decehtminded man can agree to.
Such cowardly, ignoble, and selfish counsel
is repulsive.
We must help.
The situation now calls for more courage
than it did in 1917.
America is in a crisis. If we turn tail
now and run from our duty, we need not
think we shall save our own precious skins;
for the horror of Europe will certainly en-
gulf us; and it ought to.
The Treaty will be signed, the League
joined. But even then the war is not over.
We must help. We must, of our abund-
ance, feed and warm and finance bankrupt
and wretched Europe
Humanity calls And it's voice is higher
even than Patriotism.
We must stop our snarling and quarrel
ing, get together, go to work and assist our
distressed sister.
How we have slumped since the armistice!
Said Mr. Redfeld: 1.-The reaction from
the elevation of spirit and purpose which
characterized our people in the war has been
shocking. We have reacted into an apparent
orgy of class selfshness varied by mob vic.
lence. There is something to justify a fear
that others will think a nation Of quit
ters, and it takes no little confidence to make
us hopeful that we will yet do our part
But that confidence we have We are not
cutters. We will finish the job.
American common sense idealism. hui
mainly, and pluck will yet win the greater
war, both for Europe and for herself.

II IL De OBJECTED that we now have enough
untitled and available land to supply a great
number OF farm sites without turning to re-
clanatlon, the answer is that the swamp and
wet lands are ncomparably fertile and.
moreover, IN their present condition are q
menace to health and development The
latter consideration alone would amply war
rant the work of the Drainage Congress- It
| is matter of repeated demonstration that
the adjustment of swamps eradicates mala-
ria by destroying the source of the infec-
tlous mosquito. Any State, any community
could we'll afford to spend millions of dol
lars to be quit OF this wasteful malady.
At comparatively modest COST drain

time add almost intellectually to wealth-pro-
ducing powers Time and again, in every re-
gion where such improvements have been
carried out, lands which were well-nigh
worthless have been raised to a market val
lie of fifty, one hundred and even three hun
dred dollars an acre.
1t is to speed and widen the development
of these rich possibilities that the National
Drainage Congress is organized. 1t merits
earnest support from the South and from
the common country.

how he is doing it; how the schools are
growing and what especial work they are dos
ing Anything that shows the growth of
beterment of community is valuable news
even TO gardens and bees, goat keeping and
community club work. Pulaski County should
have good roads to every hamlet and farm:
its farmers and country residents should own
hundreds OF automobiles and trucks. Its
farms should be made productive of real
money by intelligent system of diversified
crops There are men and women in Pu-
laskl county clearing hundred dollars per
month off of small land tracts, and the
old saying, ''What has been done by man
can be done again." applies here and now to
country life. Anything pertaining to this
development is valuable news. Send It to us.
