THE NEXT WAR
RV DR.. Erahk Crane

The greatest book of these times
Written, not by an orator, nor a poet, nor
a propaganda, nor by crank but by a war
correspondent
Written not by a swivel-chair theorist, but
by man who has tramped up and down
along the battle front, watched soldiers
standing knee deep in the mud in trenches
and generals porting over maps who has seen
devastated villages, who has smelled powder
who has, in a word, such practical and
face-to-face knowledge Of his subject that,
if he does not know what he is talking about,
who does?
And he writes in simple, lucid English and
with straightforward moving pen. I read
the book through in an hour.
'The Next War" it is, by Will Irwin.
An unpretentious book but one that may
be the Uncle Toms Cabin, long expected,
that shall shock the paralyzed conscience of
mankind to activity, that war shall cease.
1t is book of cold scientific facts, sue
cinctly told observations, plain figures.
If 1 had million dollars I would see that
every teacher, preacher and legislator in the
United States owned this volume.
[ would have it taught in every public
school.
For. like you, 1 have read much of war.
and am calIous. But this book staggers my
Imagination, it sweeps away the last cow
ardly subterfuge of my intellect it grips nv
heart in it's terrific, amazing revelation.
1t makes the American see the horrible
ulCcn Oh destruction toward which we are
surely strfding.
I can hardly write restrainedly, for 1 have
Just looked through these pages into the
dead face of the world twisted with agony.
1t was but the other day that Sir John
Simon, the former Attorney General Of Eng
land, said: ''It would be one of the most
melancholy facts of history if, after this war
in the years that follow there should be more
expenditure for military preparation than be-
fore"
If you buy no other book, and read no
other this year, buy and read "The Next
War" by Irwin.
Unreservedly I place it as the best book
in the world right now for every man and
woman in America to read, including the
President and the Senate
Clear, dispassionate, cold even, it is as
shattering as any warning of the Hebrew
prophets.
And who knows? 1t may be the first bell
to ring in the utter extinction of civilization

els man likely to be happy who marries
a woman for whom he has no warmer feeling
than respect?" asks correspondent. Then
he goes on to say: "The type of women 1 en-
ljoy are the gay and giddy sort, the ones
who are pretty, and all dolled up, and full of
pep and fun, but my mother wants me to-
marry the daughter of a friend of hers-a
quiet, domestic girl who is model of all the
virtues and would make man an ideal wife.
"Abstractly I admire this girl very much,
but she doesn't interest me at all. Do you

for her? From a pecuniary and social point
OF view, this marriage would be very advan-
tageous to me-
In novels men often fall in love with their
wives. In real life the miracle seldom takee
place. On the contrary, so far as general OBJ
servatlon goes, mans affection and admiraZ
ton reaches its peak on the wedding day, and
| thereafter they decline.
Whether this is the mans fault or this
woman's, nobody knows. Whether men are
incapable Of a long sustained passion for a
woman, or the woman lacks the power to
keep mans fancy fired, nobody knows. 1t
is merely a fact that there are very few mid
dle-aged men who are still their wives low
ers, and this being the case, it is hazard
Gus thing for a man to undertake matrimony
unless he has a full head of the steam Of ro-
nance about the woman, and is convinced
at the time that she is an angel, and the
only girl in the world, and that all that he
can ever desire is just to lie at her feet and
bask in her smiles. It takes that sort of mo-
mentum to carry him on through the years.
There are many reasons why man who is
not in love with the woman before mar
riage would never fall in love with her after
wards. The first is, of course, that matri-
mony is the most. disallusioning experience
on earth. 1t strips away from the individual
every veil with which he or she has camou-
flaged his or her faults and weaknesses. In
the fierce light that beats upon the hearth
stone, every secret of the toilette is laid bare,
every pretense is revealed.
The woman who is beauty when she gets
on her handmade complexion and her trans
formation, and her good clothes, may be a
bag in curl papers and wrappers at break
fast. She who is bright, and entertaining,
and a sympathetic listener in society, may
be dull and grouchy at home. Furthermore,
the woman who can't fascinate man for
an hour is not likely to be able to keep him
fascinated by the week. and the year.
Matrimony is not only disillusionng, but
it is trying. 1t takes robust affection to
stand the wear and tear of the eternal sacri-
fees and concessions that husbands and wives
must make to each other, and the everlasting
patience they have to extend to each others

little peculiarities. There is nothing that
quickens our heart action, or piques our ro-
mantle sentiments in having to deny our
selves something we want in order to spend
the money on somebody else, or having to
put up with the way another eats eggs or
hens and coughs before speaking.
Nor do men fall in love with women for
their virtues If this were true, we would
not have so many cases of middle-aged men
forSaklng their wives who have worked their
fingers to the bone scrimping and saving to
help them, and running off after little flap
pers young enough to be their daughters.
AS rule, the women who most deserve love
get the least Of it. The women that men
go crazy over are the headliners of their SEX
Quite the other way about.
Moreover, the one thing man can never
forgive woman is being under an obliga-
ton to her, whether this be financial or
moral. Therefore a man deceives himself
If he thinks that his gratitude towards rich
wife who makes his way easy is going to
blossom into affection for her
man who marries a woman he doesn't
love will not fall in love with her, though
she possess every charm and virtue; but a
woman who marries man she doesn't love
will almost invariably fall in love with him
if he is kind and good to her. And therein
lies one of the fundamental differences be-
tween the sexes.
For woman is chiefly interesting to a
man as long as he is pursuing her Once
Sne belongs 10 MIN, she loses much OF her
allure for him, but woman cares most for
a man after she has got him. The sense
that he is hers Iouses all her loyalty and
devotion, and the knowledge that he stands
between her and the world draws her to him
by every instinct Of heart and home.
Beyond this is the fact that all the condi-
tions Of life tend to separate man from
his wife and to draw her to him. He has
his business, thousand outside interests
besides sentimental ones. Her life is bound
ed by the family circle Thus it may be said
hat in marriage man does business upon a
continually decreasing capital of affection,
'-f'N his oife carries on her sentimental
operations on rising market. Therefore, it
is much more important that man should
be wildly, madly, overwhelmingly in love
when he marries than 1t Is that a woman
should
At any rate, a man may be very sure of
this: that if a woman doesn't interest him
before marriage, she won't do it afterwards,
and that If he doesn't love her before mar
rage, he won't fall in love with her after
Yards. He may respect her, but respect is a
~o~ substitute for the love that alone makes
marriage worth while.

Turkish Manners

The contrast between the manners Of the
Turk and the people of the Western nations
who mingle on the streets of this ancient
capital is striking. Courtesy to a stranger 1s
a quality still preserved from the ruins OF
the Ottoman Empire.
Courtesy is about all have left and
we still try to hold on to that" said Abdul
Medjid Effendi, heir presumptive to the
throne, who is himself a model Of quiet
kindness and courteous manners.
The official and wealthy Turk retains
still certain grand manner which would
have belonged to another age in Western
Europe or the United States. He carries
himself with dignity, though not with mod
esty.
Deep is the contrast between him and the
soldiers and civilians of some of the allied
nations, brought here by the Allied occupa-
ton of Constantinople or seeking trade or
adventure. These tramp up and down the
streets in search of gayety, and usually find
it.
Stalnboul, the Turkish quarter, becomes a
sedate place at nightfall, while Pera, the
European quarter, drops it's daylight garb
of trooping throngs and reckless drivers
an dbecomes a city of immense capacity for
evil. Gambling lens cafes Ind dance halls
open, and sailors from the fleets come
ashore and declare they won't go home until

The South's Mountain Schools

South, lying in Virginia, the Carolinas,
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Ken
lucky, comprise more territory than the Ger
man empire and are peopled by the
purest Anglo-SaXon stock in America, be-
comes doubly interesting when it is added
that the education facilitie of this vast realm
are the meagerest in the nation. This fact,
emphasized afresh at the ninth annual con-
ference of the Mountain Teachers, held re-
Gently at Knoxville, calls for most earnest
bordering. AS long districts so rich in
natural and human resources are left with
out adequate schools the South as a whole
suffers a loss incalculable.
The producing capacity of these regions,
once they are provided with good roads and
schools, will add millions, and eventually
billions of wealth TO the common store.
Wherever their possibilities in agriculture
and horticulture have been developed, as in
parts of North Georgia. the results have
overtopped the highest expectations Imag-
Inc, too, the immensely greater returns when
their latent water-power is turned to account.
The forests of Georgia mountains alone are
in themselves dowry which the richest king
doms of the Old World would covet, and
which, if duly conserved, will prove in
comparable blessing to the people of this
Commonwealth.
But it is Lot in natural treasure alone that
the South's mountain country is rich. For
where did the faith and valor of the American
spirit burn brighter, or the stanchness of
American sinew stand more firm than in Ser
G0apt York and thousands of his fellow noun
taineers? Theirs, indeed, is the purest of the
pioneer American strain ard therefore, at
heart, most keenly responsive to American
ideals. Yet, as the records of the World
War bear witness, numbers of the bravest
and keenest of the young men from these
regions were sadly deficient. if not altogether
wanting, in education. A fact this is to stir
the South to redoubled interest in her noun

those noble men and women who teach them
and labor for their upbuilding.

Chicago's Nickname


''The city with the ornamental front door,
is the newest sobriquet pinned on Chicago. 1t
dates largely from the erection, athwart the
new Michigan Boulevard "link' bridge, of a
great, ornamental white office building of
thirty-five stories, nicknamed because of it's
eccentric lines and unequaled angled appear
ance the Skinny building.
The "shimmy" building is the keystone
in the arch of the city's ornamental front
door Visible for many miles, both from the
harbor and from the north, south and west,
it marks the conveyance of the Chicago river,
the gateway to Chicago, where Fort Dearborn
once stood, and the famous boulevard that
now connects the north and south sides Of the
city.
Fifty thousand automobiles, it is conserva-
lively estimated, pass the "shimmy" building
daily. 1t is not to be wondered, then, that
the plans of the Chicago Plan Commission
undertake to make this spot, favored by traf-
fic of land and water, the municipal beauty

bridgeheads, with treatment in historical
style, is the first step authorized in this de-
velopment Identification of the surrounding
property and of the river itself will follow.

r INTERESTING light on the tasl

INTERESTING light on the task of Amer
icanizing newcomers to our shores is
given by II Giornale Italiano, an indie
pendent Italian journal of New York. when 1t
observes that if the foreigners live in con-
gested insanitary quarters of the larger cities
and in neighborhoods composed entirely OF
their own racial group, it is not from choice
that they do so but because they are regarded
with suspicion and dislike, if not hostility.
1.-THE laborers who come from Europe have
all been used to doing farm work there and
the reason they do not continue to do it here
is, not because they have lost their taste for
it, or because they prefer to work in hot
sweltering factories, but cause the very day
they arrive in this country they sense hostile
feeling and are afraid to risk going out into
unknown parts of the country
If we are to admit strangers at all, we shall
do we'll to take thought of such comment as
this, and ourselves adopt a more American
izing attitude. If foreigner is to be re-
ceived, he should be received with welcome
and given, not only opportunity, but encour-
agement, to become heart and soul a portion
of America.
