WV WHETHER ghosts and su-
wv pernatural apparitions
have racial qualities or

have racial qualities OF
characteristics may be
gathered from a study of the litera-
ture of the subject, DR.. Chuta Ito
tells us in "The Japan Magazine"
And he goes on to say:
THAT ghosts partake of the racial
idiosyncrasies of those who claim to
see them or TO write of them may be
taken as a matter Of course. Just as
the inhabitants of a country show the
influence of its geographical peculi-
arities or features, so ghosts betray
the nationality of those who father
them. Geographically Japan is in
sular and the physical features of the
height or boldness compared with
some other countries. The climate is
mild and the landscape generally
monotonous. japanese mountains and
lures. Consequently the mind of the
nation has been accordingly impressed,
and in Japanese tradition and litera-
ture there are no great apparitions, no
imposing ghosts.
"An examination of the most ancient
literature referring to ghosts reveals
the prevalence of very primitive ideas,
if ideas about ghosts can ever be re-
garded as mature. In the earliest
records it Is very difficult to trace any
definite ideas as to ghostly apparitions.
These early records are for the most
part mythical, and perhaps some might
be disposed to regard the subjects or
heroes Of the myths as mere ghosts,
but more likely they are based on
actual warriors or other characters
The tale of a long nosed hero named
Lord Sarutahiko and Of Lord Amenou-
zume with the comic face gives all

and without warning abandoned it's
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

Khaki and

IT'S THE soldier interested in

Murray in "The Dauphine

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 Unborn 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
ton, 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
to be Christians doing to make Christ
real to them?'

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 Brighten, allure or bride

little to do In creating long-prepared
organized slaughter with modern ma
chinery. The common people in no
