WAR WOLVES COME IN OARB OF PEACE
Much mimeographed copy, sent out evidently to all news
pepers in the country at considerable expense, arrives almost
daily from a source by its letter heading purporting to be
the American Union Against Militarism. Under the pretense
of fear that America is in danger of losing her democracy and
coming under the domination of a merciless military oligarchy,
this organization is doing all in its power to thwart the plans
of our government in its effort to fight the present war through
to a quick and successful conclusion. No time, paper and ink
are wasted on arguments against war in principle, no effort is .
made to tell us how, if we do not fight now, we can hope* ever to y
liave universal peace; rather time, paper and ink are most gen
erously used in trying by hook or crook to keep us from sending
our great national draft army against Germany. Peace, a
world peace, universal peace, the dream of the ages, is obvious
ly set aside for Germany’s immediate need of putting some
sort of a stumbling block in the path of that American army
which threatens to end the war, and possibly all wars, but not in
a manner to Germany’s liking.
They would have Senator Stone and his ilk prate about
peace terms when war measures are up in congress; they would
engage in the most vicious form of barratary in urging strag
glers among the drafted men to rush into courts with hypo- j
critical\pleas of constitutional rights.
Honest conscientious objectors there are. They have a {
right to their conscientious scruples and to have them re- !
spected. However, they, if they be honest and at the same time I
loyal Americans, are not hampering and hindering the govern !
ment with the every obvious intention of giving aid to the
enemy.
-:o:
A DEMOCRATIC WAR
As different as the weapons of this war are from those of j
wars gone by is the Democratic method of modern warfare—if j
that term describes it. History tells of the achievements of j
Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Cromwell, Marlborough, Charles
XII, Frederick the Great and Napoleon, there seems to be no
disposition to make the present great conflict a personal affair.
It is a war of armies, a struggle of nations, and the -oldier
in the ranks—obscured though he is in the vast movements and
undertakings of the war—can feel that he is a vital part of a
great machine fighting for a great purpose, and not a pawn in'
the struggle to further the ambition of some great inilitn >T
leader.
---:o:
Friend Hoover seems to have an eye out for relieving men
of unnecessary occupations. He has stopped wheat pit gam
bling. Think of the brokers this will relieve for some necessary
sendee either in our great national army or in some of the other
branches.
■" -:o:
“Let us be a free people, but not merely free on paper,’’
says the burgomaster of Berlin, in an article arguing for par
liamentary reform. Real nemesis should the kaiser’s goveijp
ment be torn up like a scrap of paper.
-:o:
Feeding garbage to hogs has been suggested as a public
enterprise, and if the practice is nationally adopted the gov
ernment pork barrel will be a thing of pride rather than one of
derision.
-:o:
Ever stop to think how much hard cash goes for soft
drinks? The American public let go of $174,(XX),000 to soothe
the parched palate last year.
-:o:
While we are endeavoring to make things generally safe
for democracy it is a contumelious shame that we can’t make
things less safe for hypocrisy in the United States Congress.
-:o:
Hon Hindenburg must wish he could move the Masurian
lakes to the western front.
-:o:
Russia is beginning to understand that a separate peace
means separate pieces as far as she is concerned.
---_:o:
The Chautauqua circuit is a precious jewel in the crown
of this republic. It keeps busy such a lot of fellow's who other
wise would be raising the dickens in politics.
-:o:
Meatless days are not needed in this country, says a big
picker of Chicago! However, he had not seen the diminishing
size of our family purse.
