In the acrimony that has started
•>iu i- the war began between the
various nations, it is worth nt ting
that it is the non-combatants who
-Toit have been the bitterest m their
.iiv.re of the enemy.
.M'Giil. whose story of the Great
Bush was tlie first really great story
written about actual war by an ac
Taai fighter comments with son e
gentle sarcasm concerning the lift
eruess and the Itate which was
noticeable not in the trenches bu
in the comfortable drawing room;
of the English well-to-do, comfort
ably at home and not altogether
finding the war profitless. In and
between the trenches there was no
such sentiment and if the men had
to light, they fought as part of their
duly, fiercely and violently but with
out malice to the foe.
Very recently in England there
w.us an instance which will bear out
all this. After the German torpedo
destroyer flotilla had made an in
effective raid upon Dover and had
lost to the Dritisli torpedo destroyer
squadron, many of the German
sailors who had gone down with
their ship were washed ashore. The
bodies w. re interred with their Eng
lish comrades and enemies, each one
wrapped in tlie flag of his native
r«.-uud, and wreathes placed upon
v'jw.h from the Admiral of th Eng
firJta squadron signed “To a brave
and gallant enemy”. There was no
malice; not bitterness, but sympathy
for the men who bravely played
iinri bravely lost.
No higher tribute could be paid
to the eourage of the British seamen
fhan this tribute which they paid
with an entire absence of bitterness
to the German sailors. For it is
■only tlie cowardly and those posses
sed of abiding fear of an enemy
that can discover no good in those
who oppose them.
ft is a great pity that human be
ings would not more carefully con
sider the facts of those emotions
which they manifest, and how such
expose really what they would above
all things conceal.
It required no professional
psychologist to explain that when
a Hymn of Hate is written, favored
sind sung concerning any nation, it
betrays the fact that those who do,
acre in mortal fear of that nation.
And when hate, bitterness and accu
sations without any attempt to exte
nuate are permitted, it is a sign
that those who indulge in these
•emotional manifestations are merely
manifesting the fact that the enemy
that they attack by word and by
writings is one who has occasioned
not a little dread.
U is because the men fighting in
ribe trenches are practically devoid
*.1 fear of the enemy they will be
without bitterness and without hate
of the enemy. It is because the
British admiral and his sailors do
not fear the German navy and its
sailors that they are ready to pay
to the bravery of the sailors a last
tribute always due to brave and gal
lant enemies.
When papers in the United StatPs
devoted themselves wholly and en
tirely to cultivating hate of G( r
many, it was because they had a
•wholesome fear of German prow
ess, and when pro-German literature
circulated in the United States ex
clusively devoted its pages to bitter
nrul vindictive attacks against
•VJroat Britain as the country whence
«onid come nothing of good, it mere
ly revealed the fact that as Ger
mans or Germanists they feared
and dreaded Great Britain above all
«Vher foes. They unconsciously paid
a tribute to the might, the daring
sajul the resourcefulness of that
-enemy who had to lie thus attacked
in order that they might keep up
their own courage.
Similarly when the British com
manders in Dublin devoted them
ticJves to the suppression of the Sein
Finn uprising in Dublin with undue
ferocity instead of a prudent clem
ency, i( was simply because th->'
were filh-d with dread of the Iri.th
rebels and desperation made tlu-m
resort to desperate remedies.
Bernard Shaw has exposed quite
fully the indecency of the North
cliffe papers in their attacks upon
the enemy, regardless of the deeds
and accomplishments which that
enemy had achieved. In point oi
fact jingoism is simply another form
of national cowardice, .endeavoring
to screw its courage to the sticking
place and needing something to st1
mulate itself.
In Africa when the De Wet rebell
ion had been put down, the rule's
in Africa not disturbed by any
alarms prepared to let bygones be
bygones, hut it was because of the
fact that they had no longer any
reason to fear the. sympathizers ot
the Free State commander.
This matter as exposed in the war
is referred to as having wide appli
cation and it is one that carries with
it considerable of a lesson for all
of us.
There is nothing so vain as vin
dictiveness in any line, and when
given way to, it is because of the
fact that the man who is made the
butt of such bitterness and such
hate is well feared also. The man
who is invariably ready to denounce
or attack or assail verbally the re
putation, the nature or the disposi
tion of any person, so that such
assaults become finally an obsession,
is merely exposing the fact that lit
is obsessed with fear of the enemy.
Generally candor will admit that
this is so, and the harder is the ef
fort to conceal it. the greater will
he the certainty that this view is
correct.
Ileal moral courage it may ho »d
milted is nothing more or less than
sincerity. It is the candor that ad
mits that it doesn't like to die. that
it does not like to be hurt, that
it does not like to fight, ‘hat it does
these things only because it has to,
and because the resulting conse
j ((lienees would be far more serious
I than if these things or any of them
j were not done. To be sore there
are the rare ones who have no such
j sensation of fear of consequences,
I whose souls under all circumstances
| are unafraid. But that is because
! of the danger being not understood,
and the mental impression of such
dangers is not strong enough to ex
cite the common emotion called fear
"He jests at scars who never felt
teh wound”, merely describes the
I ordinary attribute common to most
'■ men of physical bravery. But the
moral courage that knows the dang
| ers, dislikes them, even fears them,
but rises above the emotion knaw
1 ledge has given, refuses to be the
victim of his emotional environment,
the really brave man In fact, is that
which elicits admiration from
friend and foe, which appreciates
I foes as well as friends, and which
j places upon the grave of “brave at d
j gallant enemies” the last tribute ol
| respect aroused from an experience
| that they themselves had dared
I and were still fearlessly prepared
| despite that knowledge, to dare
again.
CHINA.
The short lived existence of the
Chinese Empire, come to earth
again, may or may not be one of
the signs or the times. The Chinese
struggle for liberty has been one of
the bloodiest in history and when the
rebels won they got merely the
husk and not the kernel. Yuan Shi
Kai, with the dexterity of few mod
ern statesmen, turned the defeat of
his Manchu masters to a victory for
himself, and although some mystery
attends his death, it is likely that it
merely ended a career which would
in any event have been the dictator
of modern China.
The poor boy emperor apparently
found his seat as uncertain as ot
late has the former Tzar and while
his fate may be shorter and sharper,
their lives have at any rate the same
ill-omened destiny.
That China as a republic is a free
country is of course only a myth.
The real rulers of China will con
tinue to be the priests and the
mandarins. And that it is a great
advantage to the masses to exchange
one steady boss for a hundred
minor bosses, is a fallacy that be
fore long they will realize is a fall
acy pure and simple.
However the republicanization ot
China once more enables it to don
the toga of immaculate demo
cracy which the imperial purple
would have given the lie to. And
for that reason it is especially fortu
nate. It may no doubt sweeten the
black fate of the coolie that he
should be a citizen instead of a
subject, but it is not likely his soul
will ever rise above his sordid sur
roundings to any mental intoxica
tion on that account. He will never
achieve that which other toilers
have achieved with so little trouble,
that particularly Christian science
view concerning liberty, persuading
themselves of being freemen when
industrially enslaved. They nut;
sing their songs at their hard labor,
certain sign of the coolie mind, but
they will not find that under man
darin any more than under Manchu
their lot is lightened one iota. That
is not just yet. But this patient, long
suffering, docile and industrious peo
ple will yet pass the same way as
the rest of the world, now progress
ing, now b9ing retarded In the gen
eral movement. That the day will
come when Mandarin will fare the
way of Manchu is clear enough. The
deletion of feudal lord, monarch
and despot is now written in the Ills
tory of many lands. Each in their
time thought that the system which
endured them and for which they
endured, was eternal. Today man
darin and monied autocrat, “calling
it freedom when themselves are
free”, believe too that their class
is for eternity and that their su
premacy will last for all time. They
are undismayed by the Sun Yat
Sens that here or there bring the
light of real freedom to the strugg
ling coolie souls, because the
power which is theirs may here and
there effect its quenching. But fin
ally there comes a light, fire that is
not to be quenched, that blazes in
hill and valley, assuring the masses
and the coolies that real freedom
has dawned upon the earth, tnat
they have reached out of the dark
ness of bondage and that the clank
of chains will no longer fret the
wearied souls of men.
Manchu and mandarin are merely
footprints in the solids of time, to
be memories of another day and to
be earnest as we!! of a better era.
For even in China any more than
anywhere else, there is no surety
that one class may govern and en
slave another without that other's
consent.
in the meantime the world pities
the boy emperor. Who will pity the
submerged masses that are still held

RFPORT SEATTLE POLICE!’
SEATTLK, July 12.—Police are
unably to allay the uneasiness of wo
men over the fact that a dangerous
woman slugger. likely a serious
maniac, is at large in the city. Al
though it is certain that the police
i arc making diligent efforts to dis
I cover some clue as to the identity
of the man so far they have failed.
It is now suggested that some of them
don female garments at night and

he is believed to be.

LONDON, July 12.—The deter

many times. Dunkirk is an import

approach within distance or the city
so that it could be subjected to an
intensive bombardment would re
