OUR ADDED BURDENS.
The news which is telegraphed t,. the
world of the sailing of ships loaded
with provisions for Ihe destitute of
Europe, brought about by the war. is a
manifestation of the sympathy of the
American people for those who without
fault of their own, are suffering all the
miseries fit' war which are generally
supposed to he borne by those who are
active in the held of actual warfare.
I he women anti children of idelgium
have silently appealed to the American
people and tin- ailing of the ship Wash
ington from Seattle loaded with supplies
contributed by the people of tlie north
west, shows hoyv universal lias become
human sympathy and how it responds
to the call for assistance from oven the
remotest portions of the world. A re
cent issue of a Chicago paper printed
two pictures which conveyed the very
essence of the tragedy of the war in a
way most graphic and tells the story
more clearly than columns of printed
matter.
In one picture war is represented by
i massive figure, with the war chest
m front of him. to which the peasants
no bringing the coin, with the figures
>...•,000.000 a day. ltelow is an army of
children emharking for the United
states and over them is the placard.
War debt $”??,000,000,000, to be paid
h> coming generations.” This is the
European part of the story, taxing the
n,".r now and for genetations to come
to pay for these tragedies of war in
which they had no par* In bringing
about but as helpless animals are
driven before the war lords in hordes
to even worse than slaughter to which
the common herds in the field are
driven The picture in the Chicago
paper eranhlrallv gives the Eutopean
part "f the story
There is an American part also: for
the war has touched or will touch the
pocket of ev ery man. woman and child
in the United States The war has
reduced Incomes and vastly increased
obligations which no country or peo
ple can escape, however remote from
the tragic scenes of the war in Europe
Tlie invisible hands of the sufferers of
Europe are stretched towards our
country and this generous country
has no voice or desire to save to re
spond to the utmost Tills is in har
mony with the ideal of America—to
!>e tlie helper of tiie human race. This
is not only a European war Tt Is a
world crisis and this country has a>
much involved in a moral and even a
financial sense as though an ocean did
not divide us from the European hat |
tie fields A great burden has been
■ laced upon this country In this fear
ful crisis and yet every American j
ought to feel It not only a duty to help
the sufferers of Europe, but many have
gone to the extreme by saying that
money must be dtverted from educa
tinnnl purposes temporarily to feed
the starving people abroad. In other
words American children must pay for
European wars Many thousands of
the children of our larger cities and
many of the other institutions of out
land are maintained by donations from
'he charitably inclined. To divert these
funds is to make the poor children of i
America pay the price by lessened op
M itunity for education, and they, too
must bear the load in the years to come
Whatever is done for the women and
liildi' n of Europe there ought to he
no neglect of duty here America ought
to give to the utmost for the relief of
lie sufferers of Europe. The Belgian
hitdren. homeless and often parentless,
maht to he fed by American generosity
but in so doing one generosity ought
•tot be postponed for another but both
should be recognised and responded ti
s they are doing in such Instances as
when (lie ship Washington sailed from
-bottle with a cargo representing the
generosity of the people of the Pacific
foist Hut in helping tlie unfortunate
of Europe we must not directly or in
directlv cast the burden upon the
children of our own country and future
generations by diverting aid from home
to Europe but rather accept the added
duty as our part of the debt of folly
which has been east upon tho whole
world

I myself have seen the plans of two
of the countries now engaged in the
European war to invade the United
States, capture our greater cities and
hold them for ransom, considering that
our standing army was too small to be
dangerous. Col. Theodore Roosevelt.

necessary for the United States to aid
the Allies to the end that they should
