MUST SOON CONSIDER RELATIONS
OF DEMOCRACY TO WAR
It will be necessary soon to con
sider th e relations of democracy to
the war. The war is a war of nation
alities. but it is not made bv the peo
ple. its begetter was a compartlvely
small band of unscrupulous blind and
conceited persons who are clever and
persistant enough to demoralize a
whole people. In so far as they per
mitted themselves to lie demoralized,
the people were to blame, lint the cheif
blame lies on the small band. Europe
Is laid waste, hundreds and thousand.'
of men murdered and practically every
human being in the occidental heml
sphere made to suffer, not nr the
amelioration of the race, but In order
to satisfy tlie idiotic ambitions of ,,
handful. Let not this f.o t ho forgot
ten. Democracy will not forget it
And foreign policy in the future will
not lie left in the hands of any nuto
ciacy, by whatever precious name the
autocracy mu> call itself. Hilling
classes have always said that masses
were incapable of understanding for
eign police The masses understand
it now They understand that in spite
of very earnest efforts in various cabi
nets the ruling classes have failed to |
avert the most terrible disasters of
history. The masses will say to them
selves “At any rate we could not have
done worse than that.” The masses
know that if the war decision had
been openly submitted to a repre
sentative German chamb instead of
being taken in concealment and amid
disgusting chicane, no war w mild have
occurred. It is absolutely certain that
the triumph of democracy, and nothing
else .will end war as an institution
War will b«* ended when the Foreign

retidled at $2.50 a pound, so the claim

The relic was found in a gutter by

BRITISH FIND LIONS
WORSE THAN GERMANS
LONDON.—A British soldier was
killed by a lion, according to the latest
casualty list from German Hast Africa
In a letter accompanying the list an
officer explained thut for his regiment
the wild beasts have proven a more
serious foe than the Germans He
writes:
“Soon after we began our advance
into German Hast Africa we found we
were going to hate a lot of trouble
with beasts of prey. One night six
lions were seen hovering around the
Tamp, and they killed two mules be
fore we sot going at them We killed
two and slightl\ wounded a third
'I his wounded one next da\ attacked
one of our men who had gone down b\
a stream to shoot wild fowl. The poor
fellow was taken by surprise, the
wounded lion springing out of some
tall grass right behind him. He plan
ted one shot, but unfortunately with
out fatal effect.
"Tile animal sprung upon him and
tore him up terribly. He managed to
I regain his rifle, and although suffering:
mi* use pain, finished uff the infuriated
■ I * lute with a shot In the head, hut the
man was badly hurt, and died ihret
I days later."

SEES PEACE SOON IF JAPAN
SENDS ARMY TO EUROPE
PARIS.—LTUustration makes a fea
ture of an article on Japanese inter
vention written by Andre Cheradame.
M. Cheradame declares Japanese in
tervention is certainly not indispens
able, as victory for the allies is certain
through their own efforts. He says,
however, that the matter should be
considered solely from the viewpoint
of shortening the infinite sufferings of
the war.
M. Cheradame recounts Japan's
grievance Germany which led Russia
to occupy Port Arthur and instigated
the Russo-Japanese war. He also
charges that Germany recently corrup
ted Japanese naval officers in the mat
ter of getting contracts for German
firms for installing electric and other
works on tho new warships.
The writer consideres that Russia,
Rngland, and France will lie able to
give Japan territorial compensation
without invovling Indo-China, which
Japan does not desire. Rut financial
compensation, he says, is more impor
tant, as Japan was unable to obtain
an lndimntty after the war with Russia.
.Japan is weighted with taxation and
is unable to expand at home. For
this reason it is now driven to seek
new lands for its people to emigrate to.
M Cheradame figures that interven
tion by Japan would shorten the war
three months and save the allies $200,
000,000 a month. A loan could be made
to Japan which Germany eventually
would have to pay as an idemnity.
The writer discusses the possibility
ol’ the i’nited States objecting to
Japanese troops coming to Europe to
participate in the war. This a point
which alothor writers on this subject
havo steadily avoided, although it is
understood hero that England's dislike
of Japanese intervention is greatly due
to a desire not Id offend the T’nited
States.
After pointing out that the Monroo
doctrine, which prevents European
countries from intervining in Mexico,
puts the i'nited States out of court as
an objector. M. Cheradante says
Japanese intervention would lie n real
advantage to the I’nited States in
hastening the reestablishment of peace
and in giving Japan territorial and
financial advantages which would oh
I
viuto the necessity of emigration from
that country, from which the troubles
in California have arisen.
It would also result in the complete
defeat of Germany and allow the
United .States to capture part of the
trade formerly held by that country'.
This would serve tho United States In
finitely hotter than the concentration
of Japanese economic activity in tho
far east.
He urges that 400,000 Japanese
troops could ho brought to Galicia by
the Trans-Siberian railway and 400,
000 more by sea to Saloniki within
four months from the time tin agree
ment was signed between the allies and
tho mikado's government

FUND FOR BANDS
I
LONDON.—Itudyard Kipling, Israel
Jzangwill and others who are working
for more music among the recruits,
received a big help when William Wal
dorf Astor gave $5,000 to the fund for
bands, a fund which has now reached
a total of about $42,000. The spirit of
this movement, launched at a public
meeting at the mansion house, is well
explained by the often quoted remark
of a contributor that “There has been
steady resolve but not quite enough
joy in this recruiting campaign,” or
as W. J. Locke, the novelist, expressed
it, “To see our new armies moving
along like silent shadows on a sunless
road has been heartbreaking.”
