A LESSON FROM THE WAR.
Nothing hut vigilenoc on the part of
n grout nation can prevent it* being
involved in war in the tnidst of a war
like world. The United States, al
though the most peacefully inclined,
perhaps, of am natii .1 on earth is no
exception to the great nations of the
world in respect to warlike prepared
ness as a necessity, f she Would main
tain her sphere of 'nlluence as a world
power and maintain her position com
mercially or otherwise among the other
great world powers While the coun
try is pacific, and we intend to use our
influence for disarmament and world
harmony, yet for the present, with till
the world actually lighting or mobiliz
ing for defense, we cannot afford to he
unprepared for contingencies.
Those who have been placed at the
head of our military organizations and
our military authorities are duty
hound to study every phase of the Eu
ropean war that no lesson may he
missed which would be of service to
our country. Perhaps a lesson has til
ready he given congress which may]
prove of great value to the country In
rcniov iug a strong repugnance to waste,
as they have habitually teamed It. of
millions in warships and a standing
army. Mllitaryism in other countries
and the great suffering and disadvan
tages of those who were unprepared
for war has undoubtedly Impressed
upon the people of the United States
and Congress what has been so per
sistantly urged by thp leading military
experts of the country, that it Is a
matter of'necessity for its ev'bn as it
is for the smaller countries like Hol
land and Switzerland to be prepared
for self-pro!action at all times. The
United States has done much to lead
the world in the right direction but
the present war plainly shows that Ku
rope and the world is yet far removed
from the ideal conditions which would
make the doing away with military
forces and armaments either desirable
or safe Pur own military feebleness
will not lend the world in the right di
itection if it does not. on the contrary
invite war In our shores hv reason of
our feebleness A better world-order
Is desired and must be submitted for
j the military system which now dnmi
! nates ttie world, hut till governments
■ if the rest of the world cease to pre
pare for war and cease to depend upon
militarv power as the arbiters between
nations our own country must not lie
unprepared or sooner or later it must
fai e a crisis because. Mind in its zeal
for peace, it has neglected those pre
paration which alone, under the pre
sent world-order, ran secure continued
! peai e In a vvealthv and prosperous na
11 ion.
Ttie world, as the present war most
I emphatically points out. is not yet
'ready to recognize the value of small
r defenseless nations as independent
vorerigntles hut onlv as in the way of
■r necessary to the progress of great
illations in carrying out ambitious nn
U'onal schemes in which they must he
| lisorhed or destroyed, until the firm
ml just institution of world federation
is established it will be desiral le to
increase rather than diminish our vig

i oirselves.
DRAWING THE LARGER CIRCLE.
What is the correct attitude to taktv
'award the person who wears a sour,
discontented face, either tit the break
f si table in the home (for there the
"grouch" is likely to be at his worst)
r in ttie course of the business day at
'he school, office or shop? How shall
we treat the “grouch?” This is a prac
tical question and one that many of ns
have to consider daily and on which we
must take some kind of a stand
it goes almost without saying that
in tlie presence of the "grouch" we tire
in danger For it is one of the funda
mental laws of nature that like pro
duces like, that what we are we at
tract to us Hence the first effect of
the “grouch" is to drag us from our
natural-good nature and make us over
into his likeness We gloom and frown
hack, and, if we are not careful, we
answer him after his own way and so
become "grouches” ourselves
I ini the wise person does not full
into tiiis trap, lie says to liitnself, "My
good nature was before his grouch and
is more in accord with the principle of
good that rules the universe. Hence,
taking advantage of the law that like
produces anil that what we are we
attract. I propose spreading my good
nature with so lavish a hand that it
will swallow up his grouch. I will In*
so good Matured fundamentally that I
will draw to the surface his natural
