EUROPEANS TREMDLE

Leaders Abroad COncen- trating on Keeping
 World at Peace

Tt Is foolish to believe that q peace loving people will prevent war;" Herbert Knox Smith, corpor- Htion lawyer of Hartford, said to the members of the Y. M. C. A. Bible class, at their weekly meeting held last evening. "Of the millions in- volved directly in the World war, not more than 3o.000 wanted war. Because the great majority of the people of the nations drawn into the conflict were peace loving did not prevent the greatest war we have ever had"
 MT. Smith is first hand ob- server of European conditions hay ing travelled extensively, and being present at some of the sessions of the League Of Nations.
 He said that the greatest concern today Of European statesmen is to ,ecp another world war from taking place. He predicted that another great war would mean the collapse of western civilization. Inside of a week after it started securities Of Europe wouldn't be worth anything and all currency except gold would go out of sight" he declared.
 "The front line trenches would be the safest place at the beginning of waged from the air. The first attack would be directed behind the lines. ;t the factories, transportation, and population.
 At the close of the last war the ,nited States had 10000 tons Of L.ewesite gas. a variety more deadly and more fearful than any used on the battlefelds. We dumped it 50 miles out at sea.
 There would be another kind Of 'ttack that would spread the germs # all the terrible diseases.
 The speaker said that there were rconomic and mental factors that make for war. adding; No country produces all that it needs to live. It depends upon imports and exports to keep it's balance.
