WHAT PEACE WILL BRING.
The pessimistically Inclined may he
finite light In their assertion that as
long as there will he people there
will he wars but one thing is cer
tain; if there are any wars after the
great one that is now raising havoc
in the world they will not he started
by autocrats.
If there are more wars they will he j
"people's wars” and waged for the
benefit—If there is any real benefit
to be derived from war—for and on
' lie part of the masses of the people—
ot for the aggrandizement of a few
1 ndividuals.
j In the future the thoughtful auto
P crat ,if there still remain any after '
the present war has become nothing
more than a bloody page in history,
will be very likely to avoid war like
poison for the reason that he will
have learned from the developments
of tlie present .struggle that war un
leashes forces that are exceedingly
difficult control by a small number
of people.
in a sense war pulls out the nails
by which the structure of national
life is held together. A national mob
ilization, no matter how adroitly
managed, really disorganizes the na
tion. In effect it is nothing less than
a revolution for It changes com
pletely the thoughts and purposes of
millions of people. The nation that
has passed through a war ohta'ins on
entirely new point of view; a base
line, so to speak, instead of a fixed
point from which to measure the true
and the false. The revolutionary
tendencies of war enables the nation
to see hitman relations in perspective
and catch sight of numerous unsus
pected wrongs and absurdities. Again,
war conditions induce a temporary
disregard of traditions and when a
nattion has once passed through a
great military struggle it is not at nil
likely to put the old traditions hack
In the same place as before. If the
people are not totally blind to all
good judgment and reason, the as
sertion of the reactionary that such
and such a thing worked very well
for centuries will not he accepted for
a minute. The newly wise veteran
will answer that it did not work
very well during the war. And if he
is truly wise all of the secular insti
tutions will have to justify themselves
to him for what they were able to do
in the present—not what they were
able to do In the past. A good ante
helium reoerd will not weigh a great
deal In their favor at best.
With the cloBe of the war the na
tions will be free from the d >ad hand
[of the past for the first time In cen
turies for they will have been through
an experience such ns the past has
never known and they will recognize
t their right to reconstruct the world
along lines based more on their new
experiences than on the more limited
facts of carher periods of human
and national existence.
And examined by the light of these
new experiences, neither kings nor
hereditary ruling classes of any char
acter will be able to pass the lnspec*
tlon to which they will be subjected.
They will never again he able to just
ify themselves to the new thinking
masses.
To the question of what are they
•'good for” they can have no satisfac
tory answer for they will not be al
lowed to appeal to the past to build
up an historical Justification for them
selves. To the assertion that they are
justified by precedent, as there have
always been kings, the masses will
reply with the question; why kings
or castes or the granting of a right
to any man to rule or exploit his
brohter now.
When peace comes, the masses will
know their power as never before in
the history of the human race and that
they will speedily do away with
kings and the traditions upon which
thrones and dynasties are founded is
one of the surest of post pellum de
velopments. Germany will be one of
the last to get rid of th?lr autocracy
hut the nation inevitably will, al
though the change is more likely to he
affected without a bloody revolution
than by and through one. The Ger
man nation is more likely to tip their
stiffed dummy from the throne by
means of the ballot rather than by
the sword. Its bolster of traditions
will have been so completely destroyed
that it is very likely to fall at the
slightest touch fr<?m the all powerful
hand of the people.
And, so shorn of all reverence,
weighed In the scale of benefits to the
creatures whom they control anl
found wanting of all that will be of
real value or benefit, autocrats will
hold their breath at the mention of
war for they will recognize that the
word no longer spells greater power
for themselves but, instead, power and
| strength to the masses. And they
[ will shudder at the name of war.
THE UNITED STATES OF EUROPE.
j A day will come when you France;
you, Russia; you, Italy; you, Eng
land; you, Germany—all you nations
of the continent—shall, without losing
[your distinctive qualties and your
glorious individuality, blend in a
higher unity and form a European
fraternity, even as Normandy, Brlt
tan.v. Burgundy, Eorraine Alsace, nil
the French provinces, blended Into
France. A day will come when war
shall seem as impossible between
Paris and London, between Petersburg
and. Berlin ns between Rouen and
Amiens,, between Boston and Phila
delphia.
A da) will come When bullets and
bombs "shall be replaced by ballots
by the universal suffrages of the
people, by the sacred arbitrament of
a great sovereign senate, which shall
be to Europe what the parliament is
to England what the d'iet is to Ger
many, what the legislative assembly
is to France. A day will come tvlien
a cannon shall tie exhibited in our
museums, as an instrument of torture
! is now and men shall marvel (lint such
things could be.
A day will come when we shall see
(hose two immense groups,the United
States of America and tlie United
States of Europe, In face of each other,
exchanging hand to hand over ocean,
tile'll- products, their commerce, their
industry, their art; their genius clear
ing the earth, colonizing deserts and
ameliorating creation under the eye
of the Creator.
To you 1 appeal, French, English,
Germans, Russians, Slavs, Europeans,
(Americans, what have we to do to
hasten the coming of the great day?
Love one anolher!—Victor flugo.
