There is now the graVest chance
of a war between Japan and emma
That war might involve Russia
which might involve Germany
which might involve France, which
might
The possibilities that lie in every
brush between japanese and Chi
nese sentires around Peiping are
almost too awful to think about.
Yet we must think about them'
and think hard.
Ninety-five per cent of the Amer
lean people are absolutely against
having any part of either the Span
ish or any Asiatic war. Regardless
of personal sympathies in either
case, it is clear that almost all
Americans agree that the first duty
of the President and of Congress
is to keep us out of theese slaughter
houses that have claimed too many
lives in Spain, and will claim many
millions in Asia once the mad dogs
of war are unclaimed there.

tucked under the Ell. They were

launched my quixotic adventure in

Every citizen must remember this:

no law that will insure our keeping
out of these wars. Certain laws

there is only one guarantee that

of Americans that we will not be-

Bruce Cation Says:~
Think Neutral, Too, To Keep Us Out OF War

and civilized principles have been
murdered by the kind of war that
is waged today. For today, all arti-
cles of trade are contraband be-
cause anything that is of any use
to anybody is of use in war today.
1t is loss of American life that
is most likely to start the wal
fury burning. The most vital diff
erence between British and German
trampling on American rights dur
ing the World War is that the Ger
man trampling cost life, the Britis q
cost only money and Inconvenience y
Thus the first step is to see that
American citizens are kept out of
war and danger zones or at least
that they go or stay there at their
own risk.
The next and most important
step is for every individual to think
neutral, and not to yield to pro-

that is good.
And the atrocity stories. When
ever you read an atrocity story to-
day think of the Crucified Canadian
and the Handless Baby of 1914.
Twenty years afterward, we found
that they didn't exist, never had ex-
isted. To every atrocity story you
read today add three large pinches
of salt.
Ask yourself two questions every
time any one appeals for sympathy
in these wars: just what is my stake
in this? and Am I willing to die

NEW YORK, July 31-Frank Sui
livan, the humorist, has spent
most of his adult years shadow
boxing with a neurosis that pre-
vented him from riding in trains.
He was all right motoring but the
moment he boarded a choo-choo he
began to tremble into a conniption
that suggested a congestive chill.
He made several courageous tries
but always had to race for the plat
form just as the engine started.
He tested his knee jerks with lead
ing psychiatrists and all pronounc-
ed him as physically sound as
the proverbial dollar-that is as
sound as it used to be.
One specialist finally persuad-
ed him to accompany him on trip
to Baltimore. Sullivan boarded the
train, held TO his seat, gritted his
teeth, closed his eyes and was soon
rolling across the green country
side-and grinning sheepishly. He
had crossed the mental Rubicon.
Two days later, just for the heck
of it, he took a sleeper to st. Louis.
One of his friends tipped off a
fellow wag and, upon leaving his
st. Louis hotel, Sullivan found his
suit criSs-croSsed with flamboyant
labels from hotels in Cairo, Shang-
hal, Bombay and where not.
