WAR
"In time of war prepare for peace" is n
tendency gratefully apparent in the Decem
ber magazines. This inclination Is emphn-
' siaod by contrast with the November maga
I zincs, In which mllltnrlnm ran riot, in glit
tering arrays of statistics, descriptions and
analyses of causes.
Of 28 articles in 17 of tho leading maga
zines and weeklies, five aro conccrnod with
pcaco, IE aro neutral, threo present the Al
I lies' point of view, and six nrguo for the
Germans. Herein lies another contrast to
Inst month, when out of SO articles only
threo wore for tho Germans. Evidently thoy
are Applying their efficiency, of which wo
hear so much, to publicity ns well as to
fighting. Incidentally, It is Interesting to
noto that leading citizens and officials
throughout tho country are receiving at
frequent intervals bulletins direct from tho
Burcnu des Doutschen Handelstages, in Ber
lin, arguing tho German sldo of the case.
Ballots Instead of Bullets
Tho peaco articles have tho freshest in
terest, both as giving a later phase, of
thought, and ns being a more hopeful sub
ject. It Is Interesting to find In so staid n
magazlno as tho Atlantic Monthly, nnd by a
writer with the high literary prestigo of G.
Lowes Dickinson, "in resldenco In King's
College, Cambridge England," an nrtlclo (1)
whose theme, and message is aulto ns radical
ns Bernard Shaw's "Common Sonso About
tho War," tho difference being that Mr. Dick
inson expresses tho samo truths in a less an
tagonizing manner. He begins:
"I bellevo that this war. like all wars for
many centuries In Europe, wna brought about
by Governments, without the connivance and
against the desires and Interests of the people:
that It Is a calamity to civilization, unequaled,
unexampled nnd perhnps Irremediable, and that
the only good that can come out of It Is n
cloaror comprehension by men and womon of
how wars are brought about, and a determi
nation to put a stop to them.
"I beliove It to bo true that, as the Gormans
complain at every point, the British have
thrown themselves across the German enter
prises under the Influence of Jealousy and fear.
But tho ambition of the British being satiated
by tho acquisition In tho past of more terri
tory than they well know how to handlo, they
havo bflcn acting on the defensive,"
Mr. Dickinson lays down two fundamen
tals, when It comes ultimately to settling tho
terms of peace, if there Is to bo any hope of
permanent peace:
"First Tho whole Idea of aggrandizing one
nation nnd humiliating another must be set
aside. Second. Give all people suffering and
protesting under alien rule the right to decide
whether thoy will become an autonomous unit
or Join the political system of some other na
tion." He prophesies that "A league of Europe
Is not Utopia, it Is sound business. This paper
is but a forerunner of active and generat
propaganda on the subject."
Lord James Bryce, welt known In this
country for his exhaustive work on "Tho
American Commonwealth," as well as for his
many years' service as English Ambassador
In Washington, while not as unflattering in
his opinions, draws radically democratic;
morals as the lesaon of the war, and inter
prets them for peace. He writes (2), ap
propriately enough, In the midst of . this
world war, In commemoration of the cen
tury of peace between England and America:
"The moral of this 100 years of peace la: Give
time, opportunity for discussion and popular
control. It la significant that since the agree
ment of 1817 neither nation has had naval
armament on the Great Lakes. Their absence
has been a powerful argument for peace."
Roger Babaon, the financial statistician, in
"Peace na a Matter of Business" (S) gives
tho prestige of his authority to a plan for
an international tribunal, originally sug
gested by John Hays Hammond. The plan
calls for:
"Neutralizing all International trade routes
and barriers, placing all under the control of
un International commission, upon which the
nations ahall have a vote In proportion to their
strength. As any section, when armed, must
have a majority of the able-bodied men above
21 jeara in order to succeed In an armed con
flict, there would be under such a form of
government no object In bringing about an
armed revolution, It would substitute ballots
for bullets,"
German Propaganda
Only part of the German propaganda suc
ceeds. If its object is to disarm suspicion of
the German morale. Two of the articles
suggest a grave lack of understanding of
American standards. Dr, Franz Junge, con
sulting engineer for German and American
Industrial concerns, and general adviser on
American investments for the German
"Junkers." who Is now in the United States
negotiating with our navy for the use of a
new type of German oil engine in the equip
ment of our submarines, writes on "Ameri
can Criticism of German statecraft;
He quotes Voltaire's epigram, "England rules
the sea, France the land and Germany the
clouds, and concludes' "Prussian militarism
la not a ciuse, but a reault " He aaserts that
"It Is a reflection on the Intelligence of trained
observers, native as well as foreign, to speak
seriously of the eltictency of popular govern
ment in practice. We all know the fallaoy of
government by numbers, and refuse to adopt
it In the factory or buslnesa While Germans
admit the providence of enlightened leader
ship, Americans deny it, because it la wiser and
more diplomatic to maintain the Illusion of tho
'powers of the people.' If enlightened American
people, under the most faorable auspices, with
all political liberties, have been unable to pre
serve their eoeoomlo Independence, haw can It
be surprising that the German people hesitate
to commit their country to the same poflo- of

Cross. A recent speech of his at Princeton
created quite a stir. He begins his article
on "Germany and the Powers" () with a
conservative recognition of the case ftgainstr
German, as far as she is held ultimately Jr
sponsible for this war. Ho proceeds tt build
up an nilbi for Germany, shifting the Warns
to "florvla the mischief maker," and hehlrld
her, encouraging and inspiring her provoca
tion of Austria, Russia,
In a second most flattering and deter
minedly conciliatory nrtlcle on "The Ties
That Bind America and Germany" (7), h
refers to our population
"Next to Germany herself, no country on
earth, even not excepting Austria, has so much
uerman oiooa inrused as the United States,"
nnd he raises a nice distinction between the
German Immigrants, whom he terma "politicals
exiles," nnd the Irish-Americans, who, accord
ing to him, came here aa tho result of a potato
famine. He refers to "the Americanization of
German business," gives statistics on the large
holdings of American securities In Germany,
their mutual and considerable trade relations
and even their exchange professors.
Bringing the "War Home
Tho investigation and incroaso of our nd-'
tlonal defense, which occupied so much of the -President's
message and Congress' time last
week, Is discussed in "Tho Attack on Now
York," (8) consisting of Imaginary war bul;
lctlns, dated from December 12 to 27. The
articto Is indorsed' by Henry Stlmson, ex
Secretary of War, as "not outside tho bounds
of modern military possibility." It Is, never
theless, reminiscent of H. a. Wells' "War
of the Worlds," flavored with a snack of
made-ln-AinerJca Jingoism.
lrvin Cobb has succeeded in giving a woni
derfully been-thcre-yoursolf sense of a mod-'"
cm battlefield, in his "A Reserved Seat" (9).
Ho writes:
"The day had been disappointing. The
nearer we came to the actual fighting the less
we seemed to see of It. Ten miles In the rear,
or even 20, Is really a better place Back there, .
you see tho new troopa going in, girding them
selves for the grapplo as thoy go; you see the
reinforcements coming up; )ou see the sup
plies hurrying forward and the spare guns and
extra equipment; you see, and can, after a
dim fashion, grnsp mentally tho thrusting on
ward movement of this highly sclontlflo and
unromnntlo Industry which half the world Is
practicing today.
"Finally you see tho finished product of the
trade coming back, nnd by that I mean the '
dribbling streams of wounded, and In the fields
and woods through which you pass, the dead
lying In windrows, whero they fell. At the
front, you see only, for the main part, men en
gaged In the most tedious, most exacting and
seemingly tho most futile form of day labor
tolling In filth and foulness and a desperate
driven haste on a Job that many of them will
never live to see finished If It Is ever finished
working Under taskmasters who spare them not,
neither do thoy spare themselves, putting
through a dreary contract, whereof the chief
reward Is weariness and tho common coinage
of payment doath outright, or death linger
ing. That Is battle in these days; that Is war.''
