TO THE RESCUE

We wonder at the audacity and
ferocity of the dynamiter. There is
a reason.
For four years the world has been
applying all its resources of men,
money and brains to devise methods
of destruction. The taste of blood
has whetted the eager appetite for
more.
bludgeon have been popularized. Ev-
cry ingenuity of the most highly
educated men in the scientific world
has had for it's first impulse the
invention of the deadliest weapons
to disable and destroy the enemy
and all his possessions.
1t was a war of frightfulness un-
exampledf in the history of barbar-
ism. Suddenly the armistice was
signed. At once all the processes
of war were reversed. The killing
and manning were over. The de-
struction Of property ceased. The
maddened multitude was brought
face to face with the appalling re-
suits of its madness.
| The frenZied outbursts of 10Y
over the cessation of strife were
followed by sad and sober period
of reflection. Cities must be rebuilt
devastated lands reoccupied, the dis
abled and impoverished provided for.
These are our problems: How
can all this be done by nations bear
ing an unparalleled load of debt, by
people taxed to the last extremity
with national treasures empty or
on the road to bankruptcy?
The world has passed through
other curses and emerged from the
darkness into the light 1t takes

ed. Anxious days must be passed
through
If we will not learn the whole

not recall the fearful tale of the
French revolution, if we see no men.
