The more “primitive** a nation is the more chivalrous and unselfish and
romantic it is. We have always been accustomed to regard Russia as savage.
We |t,ok upon its people a-* uncivilized and upon its government as tyrannical.
When we associate it with the hear we really express our opinion ol it. But in
the present war Russia undoubtedly believes that it is waging a war blessed
by heaven because it is waged for the unification of the Slav races. When it
began to mobilize it did so because it believed that Setvias fitodom wa.
threatened by the Austrians.

great commercial nations. France is in il because it is moved by the same sort
of an implse that governs the actions of Kuss.a. The French are the most
civilized people alive, probably, as a nation but amongst the people of France
the old romantic ideas still prevail to a great cvtent. Ihe loss of Alsact and
Lorraine to the French was like the loss of two children. The possession of
the two provinces might have been worth only very little in a material sense
hut because they had once belonged to France the people of trance never for
gut the desire fur "Le Revanche."
It may be very hard fur u> to believe it, but if is nevertheless a fact that
of all the nations now at war the one whose purposes are most pure in a cer
tain sense is the nation which is regarded as the must uncivilized. I hat is
Turkey.
_ a*
Turkey went into this war as a sort of reckless gamble, me nations
which she allied herself have apparently the greatest odds against them. If
Germany and Austria are beaten in the war the days of I urkey in Europe are
numbered, but Turkey has arisen in behalf of the Mohammedan people of the
world and she knows that probably never again will the chance present itself
of getting the Christian powers so much divided.
\\e may regard Turkey as uncivilized and fanatical but we cannot deny
that Turkey has entered into this war and taken a long chance to tight for it
faith. It is moved by the same exalted ideas that animated the crusaders
when they travelled to tight the fathers of modern Turkey.
The nations now fighting may he classed as individuals. Jsonu* oi intm
are successful business men whose chief aim in life is to amass wealth. Others
are like poets or painters or musicians who give their whole thought to the
sort of work they are doing and not to the material results. One has mon *>
as the principal aim and the other gives money only a secondary consideri.t
ion. For that reason the first is always successful and becomes a great power
and the last lives on poor but dreaming always of success.
What we are accustomed to call success is usually only failure—failure
to understand the right" of others and what we owe to the whole race. A
great power is like a great business trust. It tramples on the weaker ruthless
ly if trampling on the weaker can be to its advantage. I here is no great com
raercial power which has not robbed the poorer and there is no great political
power which has not filched the birthright of some smaller nation.

GREAT FRENCH STATESMAN
SPEAKS OF AMERICA’S
ATTITUDE.
(By The Associated Press.)
BORDEAUX, Nov. m—George
Clemenceau, although he holdd office
no longer, still remains one of the
commanding figures in French public
life.
It is now 41 years since he came to
Bordeaux as a member of the Nation
al Assembly. Even then when all ap
peared lost, he declared that France
would rise again and vindicate her
self, and he has worked ceaselessly
throughout his long and brilliant
! career to bring about the realization.
; It was with that end in view that he
effected the understanding with Eng
| land, so fruitful in its results not only
on French foreign policy but on the
j French national character.
He is back in Bordeaux once more
under greatly different circumstances.
His only regret is that he may not live
to see the end of the great epoch
! through which Europe is beginning to
I pass.
Installed in a modest apartment, he
works all day and far into the night
directing his newspaper “L ‘Homme
Enehaine” (The Man in Chains) so
called as a protest against the unin
telligent application of the censorship.

Strong anti vigorous notwithstanding
his seventy years, his eloquent eyes
flash beneath his bushy brows as he
speaks of France’s magnificent effort
Millions of Frenchmen daily read
i those arcticles instinct with the spirit
! of enlightened patriotism into which
! the ex*premier puts the best he has to
' give. Sometimes they contain tren
chant criticism of mismanagement in
some public department which his high
sense of duty attaching to his great
influence induced him to make, critic
isms which have always been fruitful
1 in irood results.
No one in France understands bet
ter, probably, than George Clemen
ceau American ideals and aspirations.
“The American public,” he writes in
one of his latest articles, inspired by
the utterance of pro-France sympa
thy, “is by nature, very independent.
It watches closely its own affairs, but
at the same time remains always open
to questions of general interest which
make for the conquest of the right
among nations, the higest aspiration
of humanity. If anchored in its heart,
any idea of International propaganda
! is rigorously banished from its
thought. Everything is concentrated
| in the ardent daily labor. America has
no time to live to the churma of doct
rines unless strongly supported by
facts. The properly authenticated fact
is for American opinion the natural
foundation of all thinking; which does
not include on idealism the best part
of which should he reality.
“America considers Europe with the
eye, interested, tender and even pity
ing with which the young man just be
ginning life looks upon the venerable
grandmother just about to leave it.
Our customs, our quarrels, our
thoughts arc fruitful matters of re
flection above all when America can
draw some practical conclusions for
them. But our old Continent appears
worn out to America. A violent hist
ory has long turned and turned its soil
with its ploughshare. It has made
America, that is America that must
renew, not yet perhaps, its culture
although American culture cannot be
under-rated —but above all and before
all by the strong examples of life the
profound conditions of its . activity
There can be no question of European
izing America. But history will show
whether Europe will be Americanized
by the irrestible virtue of the model.
“Thus American opinion, unaffected
by any personal interest in this re
doubtable affair, can produce an ab
solutely unbiassed judgment. ’
