SENSIBILITIES DULLED BY WAR NEWS
STANDARDS
It would have i>een a difficult undertaking, thirty
months ago, to convince the average American that the
time would ever come when he could pick up his news
paper and calmly read that a liner, with hundreds aboard,1
had been torpedoed and sunk without warning.
It would have been hard to make him believe that he
would ever reach a place where, from a purely humane
standpoint—regardless of where the technical right might
lie, whether the boat should have sailed or the people
should have been on it or not—he would view such an oc
currence almost without emotion of any kind, except in
so far as it might contain possibilities of involving the j
United States in trouble.
Yet that is about the mental attitude in which many
Americans, probably the great majority, receive the news
of the sinking of vessels todav.
Vet we are not much to blame. The whole civilized
world is in about the same situation. So terrible have
been the events of war. so frequent its reversions to bar
barism. that the mind has been dulled by the successive
shocks.
The sensibilities have been deadened, the capacity for
grasping events in the light of peace-time standards has
been lost. We are seeing things through the smoke of
battle. Ten years from now, when we look back on the
nightmare, we shall wonder at the indifference with
which we passed through these terrible events. It is one
of the amazing phenomena of the great war.
Even though Villa never proclaimed a regime of
ruthlessness, we doubt if his morals are on straight.—!
