NOME, ALASKA, JULY 28, 1915. |
While militarist and pacificist are
accusing each other of bain* respon
sible for the creation of conditions
which lend to war and while number
less adherents of this or that belief nr*
busy at the task of pointing out that
hot it are wrong arid wars are the pro
duct of conditions created neither by
arms or the absence of arms, the one
most outstanding fact is that war is
generally the result <>f an Indefinable
something Implanted within almost
every normal human being and which,
under certain conditions, will rise with
an overwhelming power to lead men
beyond the dictates of reason to a de
gree that but one Idea animates their
minds and souls and leads them to be
come regardless of the folly or the
wisdom of that instinctive Impulse
which takes possession of their being.
Not that this Inherent something is in
Itself the cause of wars, in a direct
sense, for its manifestations may tie
considered as rather of a contributory
nature and. while a predominating
factor In producing the eonditions
which make war possible, cannot lie
held as a primary cause save in a
secondary degree. There is a subtile
something in the very essence of man's
being that will rise and lead him even
beyond himself in the hour when the
fate of his country, the land that gave
lilm birth, hangs in the balance, re
gardless of the circumstances or
causes leading to that condition. What
this vital, all absorbing spark may tie
that changes the tenor of men's
thoughts from the tdeasant ways of
peace and makes acceptable—aye,
eagerly sought—the dangers, the hard
ships and suffering of war, none can
tell. It is called patriotism. Call it
that, call it love of country or by any
name Its manifestations suggest for all
are equally inexpressive of what'H Is;
It is a great big indefinable, unex
plainable, vital something that calls in
clarion tones to the souls of men when
the land they call tnelr own rings the
strident call to arms. This is the real,
I be great, the vital factor underlying
nearly all wars. Without this element,
that indescrlable horror, war, could not
spring into being to ravage human
existence for. regardless of the fact
that mankind loves to tight at times, i
the race as a whole Is ever inclined to jt
the ways of peace and the line or con- 1 (
dltton offering tlie least resistance to .
the obtaining of an existence. War is
contrary to all of its natural inclina
tions and Is never resorted to save as
a temporary measure of relief or ag
grandizement. War is destructive and
Its very destructiveness constitutes n
menace to everything that man
cherishes and enjoys, hence, man eun
not truly enjoy war for It is against
all of his natural desires and yet,
prompted by that strange manifesta
tion of human feeling, he will give up
all that is nearest and dearest to his
heart and go forth to light his fellow
man, regardless of the reason for so
doing, caring not that the cause in
which he fight^ tie either right or
wrong, regardless of the issues and
blind and deaf to everything save that
his country cnlis. You fnav call it a
misguided sentiment, foolishness, what
you will, there it is—the one thing
that, more than any other, makes war
possible. And it is this one thing that
will have to lie eliminated from man’s
composition before wars will cease and
he will live at peace with his fellows.
| How this can be accomplished cannot
I well be seen unless we alter completely
I the conditions under which mankind
I exists. The present great war is il
lustrating clearly e(nough that teaching
.or preaching will not change man’s
instinct to brave pain nnd dentil at the
call of bis native land. Some there are
who hold that a fuller knowledge of
the conditions which man invites
through lending himself to war will
result in so changing his thoughts that
he will look upon it and all that it en
tails with loathing and horror, nnd
, turn forever away, but it is not be
j lieved that even the worst aspects of
w.r will overcome an impulse which
leads mankind #to -face torture and
death gladly and willingly, and the
argument seems most futile when
twenty countries of eiilightment nnd
ennobling influences have failed to ac
complish anything' in this respect.
Nothing, not even such object lessons
as bloody battle fields and mangled
corpses, thought held forth for nil the
world to see, as a manifestation of
man’s servitude to false and fatal gods
whose altars are red and heaped with
the bones of those who died in sup
port of false and foolish things ran
overcome tills impulse Von may sliout
Its falseness and foolishness from the I
steeples till the ears of all mankind I
shall ring witti all that you can tell
and, still, when the danger hour shall ^
sound, the hearts, the minds, the Souls
of men will stir in answer and young j
and old. sage and sophist, wise and
foolish, will march gallantly forth to
die, drawn by that absorbing, indefin
able, wonderful impulse. Doubtless
there are some who can believe that a
full revelation <>f war’s awfulness will
result in its abolition: that when men
come to know the derad realities, the
toils, the suffering, the dreadful hor
rors. the useless sacrifices, they will
revolt and banish war and all Its dread
possibilities from their minds and lives
forever but will it be so" Will man
kind ever be able to overcome that
which lias led him forth to die on
countless fields of battle since the
dawn of human history even though
nil the war sacrifices of all the ages
were revealed to him in one hideous
gory panorama? We think not, save
in tile event that man shall change the
very substance of Ills being and tie
come n different creature. Such
change may come- and probablj Mill
— but in some dim and distant age
when, through countless stages of evo
lution, the race shall become amalga
mated into one vast whole, knowing
no ties save those of human brother
hood, owning no claims of race or
country and each recognising in the
other only a member of one. great
family that shares existence and holds
the world in common.
