HATE-ENGLAND AND GERMANY.
Viscount Bryce’s advice to the English people fits the Gor
mans and all of the other belligerents with the sumo snug ap
propriateness. Tin* great student and writer lifts his voice as
one in a wilderness of hate and the wretched unreason from
which it spl ines and w hich it in turn produces. Hate is the
worst of diseases. W olfish, insidious, persistent, it leaves its
victims heartless and brainless, a doddering wreck, not as
moral a - a gorilla, less sensient that! a horse.
Bryce addresses himself to tin* English program of con
tinning a trade attack on Germany for twenty years or so after
tie war cl os s. and In its writers and preachers, editors and
m ate' w he go about the realm proclaiming tin* doctrine of hate
Whim ot the beginning of the war Germany’s anger
reached a pathetic unbalance, it appears now that England’s
is win's W o at least hear more about it.
Some t ime ago this newspaper called attention to what may
he I ••pen. in the light of history, showing it to be not improbable
that v ithin a mere handful of years England may find it no
l.i mi,li. w till (Ji-i'inimv lln» ninsnl t 1m 1
of Europe Talk of a trade war for twenty years is silly. (}er
iiiii chatter along the same line is equally inane. Each may
h ■ m'u lily glad before 1!*20 to have the other’s assistance in
commerce or war.
Bryce sins il all, and he cautions the English people to
i lie niseives; to win, if they can, and be prepared then im
an d 11 e 1 \ 'ii bur;- the knife. His valuable counsel should fer
ment in many American brains, as well. Strafing either Her
in,-., or England i-n't going to help us along toward that
I mi i which will enable us, after the smoke and ink have been
sw ot away by the olive branch, to determine who caused the
v nr, w h\ il was caused, who won, and wherein we gain a truer
nationalism by reason of it.
'I '.art of remaining sane still remains the greatest of arts,
i Me slumld look backward and forward before uttering an irre
vocable malediction about anything.
Ti • 1111■ i day a geologist dug a stone out of tin* earth, |
'eii. if.' chill i>t< said, again proved that this globe has been i
in m t'.ic naivei'M- for 7o,000,000 years at least. Perhaps;
'generations have eome and gone in that period, and
• i are millions more to eome and go. The fact that we arc

not -e elide nor centuries— and the opinion of a human
