represented, poultry having been en-
tered from Portland, Muncie, Farm

The Conference as Education
BY FREDERICK J. HASkIN

Spain was fomented, more than by
anything else, by the phrase "Remem-
Der the Maine" but it was never in
the least proved that the Spaniards
blew up the Maine and there is not the
slightest reason to believe that the
Spanish government had anything to
do with it.
The point is that as long as men
retain this primitive sponsiveness to
war spirit, as long as they respond TO
speeches and flags and drums with an
hysterical yelling excitement, just as
savageS respond to the beating of a
tom-tom, just so long diplomats, poll
ticians, demagogues generally can
make wars at Will And as long as
they can make wars, they will do so
Wars are made in the same way that
P. T. Barnum made his fortune-by
taking advantage of the publics enor
nous capacity for being fooled Per
haps that capacity is inherent and un
changeable. But as far as war is con
cerned, another element now enters in
TO the situation. War is no longer
thought of so much as a glorious thing
Slowly the connotations of the WORD
are changing. War is coming to near
poverty, hunger, death, poison gas
starving babies, millions of young mer
dead. These grim associations are
bound to put a check upon the re
sponsiveness of the average man t
the war call
