BITTER NATIONS

and he will tell you that it is the injustice
and the stupidity of the postwar treaties
Ask him why, this being so, the treaties
can't be revised, and he will remind you that
the mutual suspicious and resentments bred
by the war make it impossible.
These two questions, then, will bring YOU
down to one of the most peculiar and danger
GUS factors in modern life-the change that
has come over the way in which nations wage
war nowadays, and the price that has to be
paid for it,
The World War differed from its prede-
cessors not only in the fact that more countries
and more soldiers were involved, but also in
the fact that it was waged in a different spirit.
The old restrictions on the desire to hurt
ones enemy fell away. 1t speedily developed
into fight in which, as they say of a bar
room brawl, anything went.
No longer was the man in arms the sole
target. Defenseless cities were bombed, over
and over again. by both Sides Women chill
dren, old men and invalids were slain, as well
out warning. Blockades were adopted, SO rig
orously that they condemned thousands upon
thousands of noncombatants to malnutrition
disease, and death.
Not since the world began to call itself
civilized had there been so vicious kind of
fighting as was adopted between 1914 and 1918.
There were no fouls. Everything was permits
sible
Things that would have horriffied the whole
world if they had been done in earlier wars
were taken as a matter of course
1t was only natural that that kind of war
should leave people with a greater heritage
of bitterness and suspicion than previous wars
bequeathed them. When the bitter experiences
Of four years teach you to look on your enemy
as fiend incarnate, you don't forget about it
overnight
For years to come he remains the man who
bombed hospitals and starved children and car
ried the war into your backyard. And if you
beat him, and the peace treaties make him
suffer-well, you're not inclined to be very
soft-hearted about 1t.
This ulquestionably explains much of the
reluctance of the victorious nations to con-
slider revision of the treaties. And this psy-
Geological twist is worth remembering.
Military men everywhere are taking it for
granted that the next war will be fought as
the last one waS-Without rules
We should not forget that that kind of
fighting calls for heavy price to be paid after
the actual conflict has ended.

Theodore Roosevelt said the homes
of America are the. foundation of
our nation.
If that is true, our nation is rest
ing very insecurity. The home life
of our nation and the church Of
the living God can not function
properly in a modernistic atmos-
phere. AS a nation, we are losing
God instead of coming in closer
contact with Him. Manifestations
of the presence Of the Almighty
God are fading away rapidly.
Sixty per cent of the motherhood
of America are in deplorable con-
dition with their cigarets, profanity
and loose morals. No spiritual, ster-
ling, character forming guidance ever
emanates from them. And yet we
wonder why so many youths of to-
day are involved in crime. I think
it is safe to say. that millions Of
children are suffering the disgrace
of being divorce orphans, with both
parents living and yet their love
and guidance missing.
This is very sad and disgrace

Mr.. Roosevelt, shown in his office at the other
end of the WIRE exclaims:
What on earth will the Government do with
the 100000 head of livestock which it wants
to dispose OFF"
The scene was greeted with amused laughter
by a number of 1rst-nighters from the capital

to California to tell Gov. Young and the Su-

was sorry.
Justice Preston tried to discredit the penti-

The present important Federal judicial post
is vacant because the Senate committee blocked
