FORMER JUDGE SULZBERGER
On the Great Wars Results

LORMER Judge Mayer Sulzbergcr, who to-
l. day receives the fluctuations Of his friends
and admirers upon reaching his seventy
eighth birthday, does not believe that the
pessimists who insist that the Great War
will leave permanent scars upon the civil
ization of our own and other countries are
justified in the rather extreme views which
some of them have recently expressed.
eve must admit that the United States
is at present in a somewhat disturbed con-
dition, but it is also true that this dis-
turbance exists in lesser degree than IN
any other Of the Western, and by Western
mean civilized, countries. When il is con
sidered that millions of men have for nearly
four years been trying to XII ana mann
each other, it is no wonder that the ideals
of ncaCe have suffered some disturbance.
A Phase of Primitive Brutality
I'm fact, if such were not tn" case, war
would be impossible; cOnsummation de-

rpctcd in short time. This phase OF prim-
tive human brutality will pass, and that the
struggles and achievements OF thousands OF
years towards the attainment or clVlhZatlon
cannot be totally lost, firmly believe
