How to prevent "*i in th* mtun it
J 'si now a promo iih me im tin* tru on.sLb
and leuiii.s are *M*mg wriiien i inc**rmn0
world itruarmiun courts, imermnioiiui
police sysiem, and a dozen arm on*.* otinri
meihous ot preventing Hi** recurrent •»m
breaks ot Human conflict. 1'radically uii
*)! lues** various uicorisms are nas*-u
upon .sonic pian witn force as the pre
dominating prev*-ntuiivc measure Hardly
tar proposed but includes pr*»vismns by
which a group of nations can mutnUiin
international peace, when all other meth
ods tail, uy resorting to the very thing
that is desired to be prevented, tore oi
arms, in order to suppress those who
are inclined to break tn«* establisheu
rules. And one »in*1 all seem to lose
sight of Hu* tact that it is not really
the nation that makes war and oi the still
more vital fact that tis long as a group
of nations is permitted to dictate to th**
others just so long will there b»* fruitful
causes of war. Two or three nations
may const itute themselves policemen
over the rest but sooner or later the
others will grow tired of dictation with
the result tnat war will inevitably follow
As far as has been discovered not one
ot th»‘ prevention philosophers have
thought out a purely pacific means of
preventing war but, a little, obscure
newspaper out in the states suggests a
means which, while not a permanent
preventative, will at least go as far in
tin* long run in preventing international
conflicts as any of the theories so far
proposed. This paper suggests that the
surest means of stopping war Is to teach
the masses, the people who do the blood
shedding and blood lotting, who hear the
hardships and agony, just what war is
and what the fundamental causes are.
And it reasonably contends that when
the peopm themselves shall learn to
Know war lor what it is they will no
longer fight except iti the most extreme
cases.
There Is food for much thought in this
view. About all the masses know of
war at the present time is that, when
it occurs, they must bear the hardships,
the want and privations, furnish the
corpses, the cripples, the widows and
orphan^ and, when it Is all over, pay the
hills. row know what it is and the
causes which engender it
Very few Americans can tell today
why war has ravaged Mexico for the
past five years. Hardly one in twenty
of the rank and flit* of the citizens of
this country has th** faintest concep
tion of why strife and bloodshed reigned
uncontrolled for a quarter of a decade
within the boundaries of their neighbor
republic. And, of the reasons for the
greater wars, such as the present war
in Europe, few have any active realiza
tion of what lays behind it or the funda
mental causes lending up to it. Ques
tioned on the subject they will reply
glibly enough “Commercialism,” “trade,”
“money,” “capitalism” or a dozen und
one other equally Indefinite terms. They
know that these things are somehow
responsible but how, or in what manner,
they know not at all. They know this
much trom seeing the terms expressed
so often in the press but. in eight cases
- iimn -i—'In ~
out of ten, they nro merely words that
convey no deilnito understanding, i hey
know that the whole reason sifted down
spells dollars and cents but concerning
tin actual why or wherefore they know
little or nothing. Only the Ixst posted
can toll why in Mexico, for instance, tin
people became so oppressed that tiny
were reduced to abject slavery , to Uiboi
tog, like the horse or o.\. tor their board
and lodging They cannot tell you why
it Was that a people who can subsist
on three or four cents a day were dtiten
to revolt to save themselves, their Wotn, l
and ehlidreu from starvation.
Hardly more thau one In fifty huve a
comprehensive Idea of why it was ut
how It wus and the rest do not know
whether It was doughnuts or dollars or
natural born cussedness that caused It
all. Off nand they will probubly express
the opinion that It was capitalism" but
just buw capitalism developed the eoud!
lions WhiCu bathed the land In blood
they have no Idea. As the paper referred
to suggests, if the people understood tin
reasons for such Conditions they would
lie able to prevent them in many cases,
ispecially in a country like the United
i -States or others where the citizen bus u
vote to assist him in securing propel
conditions. Kducatlun in the euuses "i
war may not be u sunstantlal remedy liui
it will at least teaeli the people to dis
criminate us to what they are willing to
tight for and also to guard themselves
against conditions leading to war It i.->
liurdly lo be doubled that if the peoph |
possessed a thorough understanding ol i
war and the causes which create it,
there would be few wars
, Understanding* would at least clear
away the sentimentalism which usually
leads the masses lo blindly aftei them
selves as a sacrifice on tin blood stain
ed altar of patriotism and reason,
founded upon true knowledge of tin
causes, would lead them to avoid condi
tions which inspire international strif.
CANADA'S SOLDIERS
Syracuse Post-Standard
Oen Sum Hughes, Canadian minisit i i
' of militia, reports to the parliament at 1
Ottawa that 263,114 Canadians have <n
j dated for the war, not counting 10.468
officers. The recruits are distributed
thus: Ontario, 110,776; Quebec, 28,138: the
Marlitlnie province 24,ls8; Manitoba and
Saskatchewan. 50,710; nriltsh Columbia.
I 24,868, and Alberta, 24,124
i Ontario has abuudantly proved it
I loyalty to the empire. It New York gave
as generously of its sons for war, WO,Ode ,
of them would be under arms. Quebec, j
with n population 80 per cent that of (in- ■
mi iu, nmnrn a suauuj niiumnp. i iH* TH’.l*
son Is clear. "The preaching of indiffer
ence and disloyalty by French-Canadian
politicians has plain.y had Its effect in
Canada's French province, in spite of I In
fad that France and England are eoi
dially allied in the war," is the ilium- ,
inatlng comment of the Springfield lie
publican.
If Quebec has done poorly, the western
provinces largely peopled by Americans,
have responded bravely. The war. as
we on this side have occasion to know
is not so near the west as the east. But
Alberta and Saskatchewan and British
Culumbiu. none of them with one-quar i
ter the population of Quebec, every oic
