PHILADELPHIA, May 29.—Proba
bility and grave danger of another
German peace drive were empha
sized by President A. Lawrence
Lowell, of Harvard University, in
his address recently at the opening
session of the Ponvention of the
League to Enforce Peace, lie said
in part:
“It is not at all improbable that
Germany may propose to make
peace on terms that appear on
their face reasonable and moderate.
She may offer to retire from Bel
gium and Prance and even to con
tribute toward the damage suffered,
to cede Alsace and Lorraine or leave
their future to be decided by a ple
biscite, to give the Trentino and
Trieste to Italy, to promise some kind
of autonomy to the various races in
Central and Eastern Europe, and
to agree that the barbarities she has
practised shall not be permitted in
' war. ***»
“Such an offer might tvell beguile
the Allies in a delusive peace.
The peace would be delusive for,
unless the principle of militarism is
destroyed, the promises would be kept
no better than those broken in the
past. Autonomy of other races would
mean their organization for the
strengthing of Germany; until she
had control of the resources of a pop
ulation of 200,000,000 for the next
war. Such a settlement would be a
mere truce pending a strife more
fierce hereafter.
“If the upshot of this war is incon
clusive the whole world will be pre
paring for another. During any tem
porary truce men of science in all
countries will devote much of their
thought to make engines more de
structive and moro deadly for the
struggle which will be well nigh a
war of extermination.
“Civilization as we know has reach
ed a point where it must preclude
war, and war can be precluded only
by a conquest of the world by a sin
gle power, or by an organization of
many nations to prevent its recur
rence.
“The principle of predatory militar
ism cannot be done away with unless
mankind has the intelligence, the
magnanimity and the determination
so to organize itself that justice
shall take the place of violence, and
that the predatory state shall be re
strained, by force if need be, from
a wanton resort to arms. No one na
tion can do this, nor can it be done if
the United States stands aloof. The
time has come to take part in a
league of nations to maintain an en
during peace here and elsewhere. AVe
must finish the work we have begun
until the principle for which we fight
stands victorious and unquestioned;
and then we must build a structure
that, so far as human wisdom can
reach, will banish the scourge of war
among men”.

INSPIRATION TO
BOVS IN KHAKI
Country’s Defenders To
day Learn Lesson From
Thin Blue Line.
THE veterans of the Grand Army
of the Republic furnish always
an Inspiring spectacle to the in- |
tervening generations. These young
men, who so many years ago marched
southward to the call of Ahraham Lin
coln, march ngain today. Their line is
thin. I he feet which advanced vig
orously to battlefields for the republic
are uncertain. The weight of the
years drags them down. Backs are
bent by the burdens of war and of life.
The eyes which once flashed to the
call of duty gaze dimly upon a sunlit
world.
But the hearts of these heroes In
blue—these men who offered the last
measure of sacrifice to their country
more than half a century ago—are as
sound as they had been in tlie remote
period of their youth. They beat as
high to the inspiration of the crisis
through which the country and the
world are living. These men who
played a manly part in one of the
With His Grandson in Khaki.
epics of history decline for the most
part to give up their parade, thc'feh- 1
ture of Memorial day. They are de- :
termined to show the younger genera
tion that if their bodies suffered from
the ravages of campaigns and of time,
the high luster of their courage and
their devotion has not been tarnished
by the years. j
It is fitting that the heroes in blue
should give to the soldiers in olive
drab this demonstration of their en- !
durance of body and of soul. It is
well that the soldiers In olive drab, on
the eve of their own great adventure,
should salute the heroes in blue whose
spiritual descendants they are.
For tine cause which the men of the
Grand Army of Republic upheld is the
same as the cause which the young
men of today have rallied to uphold.
It is rthe cause of America, in the six
ties ns now, the champion of justice
and freedom.
Ex-Confederates Draw Pensions.
It will be news to most persons tlmt
a great many former Confederate sol
diers draw pensions from the govern
ment. Some of them were deserters
who enlisted in the Union armies; oth
ers were prisoners of war who did the
same thing. Six regiments of so-called
“penitent rebels” were organized by
the federal authorities from the prison
camps at Point Lookout. Rock Island,
Alton, Camp Ltouglas and Columbus.
They took the oath of allegiance, and
the men were credited to the quotas
of the states they elected to serve.
