IF WAR GOES ON
By H. Addington Bruce

u OLONEL J. F. c. FULLER, British gen.
eral staff officer, has been iainting a
picture of future Warfare-a picture so
appalling that it should strengthen the COM
mon will to compel political leaders in all
countries to work out some plan of union that
will qead to the abolition of war.
In the late great war, as everybody knows,
non-combatants suffered to an extent without
parallel in previous wars. Oldtime customs
and galantries of war We're disregarded. To
the carriage of the battlefields was added
slaughter Of civilians-mcn, women, and little
children far from the battle fields, even hun
dreds Of miles from the battlefields.
The next great war, if through the folly Of
statesmen another great war is permitted to
come will witness, according to Colonel
Fuller, still more callous disregard of the
rights of non-combatants. Mono ombatants in
fact, will be made the chief objects of attack
Future warfare" Colonel Fuller said, in
effect speaking to an audience Of London
physicians, will be astonishingly rapid The
target will be the civil population On them
war will break with the terror of a mental
earthquake.
Success will depend on delivery of the
psychologist knock out blow 1t should be the
work of the medical profession in peace to
prepare the public nerve for the shock of
psychologist attack.
Civil physicians must also be prepared to
cope with tens of thousands of gas cases, and
every one must be instructed in self-protec-
ton aginst gas attack
To be sure, Colonel Fuller professed the be-
lief that military leaders, with a human
itarianism that hardly be said to have
been characteristic of military leaders in the
past, will confne themselves to using gases
that will not kill but merely put to sleep.
Thus it would be POSSIBLE for an enemy to
capture London by anaesthetizing it's millions
of population through a gas attack by five
hundred airplanes. When the several mill
lions woke up, forty-eight hours later, they
would find London occupied by hostile forces,
and could do nothing but surrender.
Whether the enemy woulds be content to
use merely a mild anaesthetic u.s. of course,
problematical. Nay, it is more than doubtful,
if one is to judge from the precedents of the
late war. And to judge likewise from that
wars presidents, the enemy's treatment of
those who did awake from the forty-eight
hours sleep would add not a little to the
psychologist shock of the mild" gassing
SO that, altogether, the outlook for civil
populations everywhere, in the event of an
other great war, is dismal in the extreme So
dismal Is it that the paramount issue Of the
times is, and should be, recognized as such,
international cooperation for the ending of
war.
And none too soon can the people of all
countries make candidates for high political
office aware that they regard this as the
paramount issue. Because of the catastrophe
that must result if another great war de-
velops it dwarfs every other issue to COM
parative insgnificance.

WHO GETS MOST OUT OF LIFE?

T TAYING lived long time, people like to
ii ask of me questions as to what I've seen
~ - and experienced, and | was not much
surprised to be asked, who enjoy most, in
their own particular sphere of existence, the
humble poor who expect nothing or the
climbing rich who can buy anything. 1t was
somewhat of puzzling question. Of course
from one point of view, there is very poor OPP
portunity for those who have nothing and
expect nothing beyond very plain living-but
everybody will agree that those who are in a
constant strain reaching up ndSclimbing aft
er new things and must have the best that is
going or be dissatisfied not 7contented
people. The happiest, most contented person
recollect, was an aged darby woman, who
only wanted bed to sleep on, plenty of meat
to boil with beans and cabbage, and a little
mule to drive to a buggy, or hitch to a small
wagon, when she wanted to go somewhere
or go after something to eat, or to see some
body she liked, and with no particular hurry
to any OF 1t-nOr worry, no carking care.

the very soul of cheerfulness wherever you

always ready to do us a favor, and come to
us in sickness or grief-and rejoice whole
heartedly when had seasons of rejoicing,
big or little. She knew we would divide with
her, when she needed things. She did not
mind saying so-when the time came, and
after it, and we were glad to give it to her,
and we continued to help her to keep her lit
tie village home, and went to her in sickness
also; down to the last day-and stood by to
comfort her and stand near her in the final
hour. She the most perfectly contented
person | have ever seen, as | now remember.
Her little treadmill of daily life was a
very small ONE, but her cheerfulness was of
the real sunshiny variety. She was always
glad to come to see us, preferred a pallet on
the floor of my bedroom to anything else
when she made us a visit, and I knew every
thing I had would be as safe in her hands, as
her fidelity could make it.
Dear old Aunt Ginny-we have ridden in
the same buggy-times without mention and
she seemed to find in my heart the same 10y

LIES
BY RERTON BRALEY

They're frequently kindly and wise.
IL Lies like, that baby is surely SOME

He looks like his mother, but more like his

lessly said
The baby is funny and squally and red,
AS healthy, and normal, perhaps as he
But looking like nothing on earth-but a
baby)
They add to lifes joys, I surmise
Lies like, eve had such a WONDERFUL
time!

(Whereas, if the truth came out with a
thud,
The party was awful, the hostess a dud
But lies of that fashion make living more
bearable;
The social world, lacking such fibs, would
be terrible)
They often are things that we prize.
Lies like, "How lovely you're looking to-
day!"
Or, "How DO you dress in that marveloss
way?"
Or, "Just what I wanted Your present
was fne!'
Or, dearest, your eyes have a beauty di-

But oh how these nice little fibs that we

Make life more gentle and kindlier thing!
The white lies, the light lies, that come
from the heart
To brighten existence and temper its smart.

Why, civilization is bound by the ties

BY Irwin Cobb

When Lawrence Wheat, the comedian, first
came to New York from his home in West

had for awhile rather rough Shedding. After
he had played small parts in several unim-
portant productions he heard that leading
manager was casting troupe for new farce.
His informant told him there was a part in
the play which, in his opinion, Wheat was
well qualified to undertake.
The young Virginian lost no time in calling
on the manager. He succeeded in fighting
his way past the office boy to the inner office
where the great man sat at his desk Wheat
told his name and voiced his ambition

word. One day, while he was driving to
town, he overlook a peddler with large
pack on his back. Stopping his horse, the
deacon suggested that the man ride. The
peddler carefully stored his pack in the
back of the spring wagon and then climbed
to the seat beside the deacon For some time
he two talked pleasantly. Then there was
a long pause, and thinking to improve the

ATLANTA, Sept. 19.-The stu
dent body at the Georgia School of
Technology is expected to number
approximately 1859 boys this fall,
with the opening of classes next
Monday, according to statements
by officials of the institution. Reg
istration began this week, while
football has been underway for
several weeks.
With this record enrolment for
the institution, the old rule of keep
ing first year men in buildings on
the grounds will be dispensed with
owing to the physical equipment
being inadequate. A number of
students is making outside arrange
menrs.
The new physics building which
has been under construction for
the past year is completed. 1t will
be occupied this year by the ply
sizes department, on the two lower
floors, while the architectural de-
partment will have possession of
the third and fourth floors.
