Perhaps not so extensive a mix-up
as that of the historic confusion of
tongues ut the Tower of Babel, but
nevertheless an intermingling of pe>
pie previously unknown to each other
is trunspirmg ton a gigantic scale.
Hundreds of thousands of men are in
lunds foreign to their own, for the
first time In their lives. Not only aro
the lands strange, but the people ami
the architecture: while native fools
and manner of living differ radicallv
from those at home.
Especially strange is everything to
the troops from far-away lands, <unt
as these foreigners are themselves
strange to their own compatriots and
the citlxens of the places in which
the fortunes of war dispose them.
Hindus in France, and French in
Germany: Germans in France, Alalia,
Russia, and Turkey: Russians in
Germany, France, and Austria, snd
Austrians in Russia; Hungarians in
Russia and Italy; Italians in Austria:
and English in Germany, France and
Turkey. hal a kaleidoscope of hu
manity!
Then, too, there are the hundreds
of thousands of prisoners of war.
Compelled to remain and live wilt,
their avowed enemies, there is nev ;r
theless the inevitable broadening of
mind in the discovery of those
good traits which even the worst of
us possess. And the wounded prison ■
er, s.retolled side by side with those
he so recently fought, us the days go
by and he lii.ds himself sharing to
the fullest exnnt the best conditions
ean alioru, cannot fail to recognize, to
some extent at least, the spirit of
generosity and be softened thereby.
i he fact that the qualities of good in
these we know but slightly, or not
ut all, are unseen, is largely respon
tnble for the hatred which is unnat
ural and wicked.
tVhen that glad day coines in which
the entire world will rejoice at the
i nding of the struggle, and the armies
uisband and scatter to their homes,
it is certain there will be carried back
many memories not altogether hate
. ul. Into each hamlet, however sm ill
will return one or more, to tell the
story of how people look and live in
those other hamlets they have visit
id. And thus, as with a mummolh
mixing machine, will the people ,as
a mass realize in some degree the fact
that no one people has exclusively all
the qualities, either good or bad. At
the moment, those actively engaged
m the conbut and heated with the
strife of conflict can hardly be ex
pected to contemplate the enemy
with composure, and some things will
never be forgiven in the present gen
eration; nevertheless, the melting pot
of war must surely burn out some of
the dross of ignorance and suspicion.
