Tho most violent caso of mllltarlsmuB Is
that of Colonel Roosevelt. Ho began with
a series of full page "Sunday Specials" In
tho New York Times. Ho has an nrtlclo on

and on "America on Guard" In Everybody's.

class military power should nttack the United
Stntes In force, and should succeed In getting
her warships and soldier-laden transports past
our fleet, landed out of range of our coast do
fonacs; once fairly nshoro, she could pulverize
our small regular army and punish us to n
humiliating degreo, if not actually make us sue
for peace, before we could raise nnd trnln a
Volunteer army adequate to copo with the In
vaders. Our army numbers little more thnn
twice the size of tho police forco of New York
city that Is, not largo enough for our great
country, even as a mere police forco."
Taking a Shot at Dovo of Peace
Colonel Roosevelt, hero of the strenuous
life, takes tho to-bo-expectod vigorous attl
tudo on war. He is wlthcrlngly scornful qf
our not having gono to Belgium's defonso,
nnd thoso Americans who nro glad to keep
out of tho great world conflict' can find In
hla own words occasion for thankfulness that
ho Is no longer occupant of the presidential
chair. Ho writes (2);
Poor Belgium was almost destroyed becauso
, great neutral nations the United States being
the chief offender havo not yet reached the
standard of International morality nnd of, will
ingness to light for righteousness which must
be attained before they can guaranteo small,
well-behaved, civilized nations ngalnst cruel
disaster.
It Is noxious . to work for n pcaco based
on righteousness, unless we put force back
of righteousness.
Tho nll-lncluslvo arbitration treaties In whoso
free and Unlimited negotiation Mr. Bryan
takes such pleasure are of less value than tho
30-cent dollars whose free and unlimited coin
age he formerly advocated.
The Deadly Parallel
In an article on "American Militarism" (3),
Amos Plnchot, a former political associate,
of Colonel Roosovolt'fl, points out several
rather startling parallelisms between tho
writings of the Colonel and General von
Bornhardl:
Colonel Roosevelt nnd General von Bern
hardt aro both victims of a common error. "There
aro higher things," snys Mr. Roosevelt, "than
tho soft and easy enjoyment of material com
fort It Is through strife, or tho readiness for
strife that a nation must win greatness."
"God will see to It," says Bernhardt, "that
war always recurs ns a drastic medicine .for
the human race." It is because Mr. Roosovelt
and General von Bernhardt see life In terms
of the ruling classes or of, the bourgeoisie,
rather than In terms of the majority of the
people, that they believe the war element la a
necessary nnd potent alternative, which civili
zation can 111 afford to dispense with.
Mr. Roosevelt says in the nrtlclo previously
quoted:
Writings like those of Homer Lea, or Nietz
sche, or even Professor Treltschko, are as ob
jectionable as those of Messrs. Bloch and An
goll. In view of this criticism, some quotations
from an article by Mr. Angell on "America
and the European War" (4) are especially
Interesting as Illustrating what Mr. Roose
velt finds objectionable, in addition to the
fact that they are very illuminating in them
selves. It Is a coincidence that Mr. Angell
should be considering one of the very men
with whom he is classed.
You cannot deal with the problem of Prus
slaniim, the, moral attributes it connotes, and
the military conflicts wh.lch It provokes with
out asking the questions, "For what purpose
do States exist?" "What are the essential
realities of life!"
Whep the Nletzschean extols war and force
as beautiful and desirable In themselves, more
beautiful and desirable than affection and
laughter and all the other components of hap
piness, we are able to point out two things;
first, that his Ideal Is not common or universal,
but, second, and much more Important, that it
cannot be, for the reason that no one desires
to be the vanquished, the victim of war and
forco. His philosophy I only for half the world,
the top half. Wo all believe It our duty to
give our lives rather than be subject to tho
rule of foreigners, of aliens; yet this philosophy
of conquest and Imperialism demands that
others shall accept the rule of aliens. That
which we believe a moral degradation for our
selves we try to enforce upon other millions
of our fellows; it is an arrangement which
makes, as some one ha said, of the top dog a
bully and of the bottom dog a cur.
A Rift in the Clouds
A brief and to-the-polnt article on "Recon
struction in Europe" (S). by an Englishman,
writing from London, not only strikes a note
of hope, but says something new. something
which pone of the other writers has touched
upon. Mr. Bralleford finda In the number of
nations Involved in the war factor which
has hitherto seemed only an added horror
ground for hopefulness. He writes:
The organization of European solidarity has
made aome progress. W have soUdarity
enough to render any war a universal war. We
Ualt only the solidarity to make a permanent
Pftace. It !a polble that ,thi colossal ooafllat

A whimsical history of the 20th e6ntHr
by Simeon Hnrdcaatle, of Now York, &
A. D. 2014 (edited by hay Btannanil Baker .
rovlowB tho Gorman invasion of America in
1916-16 nnd offers a pleasant relaxation from
tho seriousness and grlmness ot most wtfr
articles. Incidentally, there Is a g06d deal
of philosophy with tho nonsense. Tho peac
party having prevailed in this country, Amer
ica had decided to make no defense, nnd tJi
Germans landed on Long; Island June 4, 1918 1
It was remarkable at this crisis, 'there bein
no armed resistance upon the part 6f Amer
icans, how simply the ordinary (relationship
of human beings began to reassert themselves.
Tho Interior of that portion of Long Island wi
at that time occupied by extensive market gar-j
dens, and no sooner were the qormah wall
landed than the wagons ot the hucksters,
loaded with fresh vegetables, began to venture
up to the line. To troops that had been lonaf
at sea on dry army rations, the Bight prove!"
almost irresistible. Soon -the railroads begort
to, run excursions out from New York, ,nnd
thousands of Americans crowded .every low
hill to watch the Germans busily digging
trenches In the peaceful meadows.
Marshal von Schwab sent a detachment un
der a flag of truce to New York city, and in .
ono of the most truculent documents ever'
pennod, demanded that the Mayor pay over
within 4$ hours nn Indemnity of tSO,oaM00.f
tho cost of the Invasion to date. In" default;,
of this payment ho would Instantly pelz'fc, the
city government. (
A small and insignificant fuse often -plodos
a vnst magazino. In this case jtho. in- ,
strument was an editorial In a Now York
newspaper, which handled Von Bchwab's ult(,
mntum with delicious Irony, advised the. lm
mcdlate paymont of tho Indemnity upori'tlia '
ground tiat tho "wnr" so far was cheap at th.
prlco, "especially In view of the factthat the
German armies have already largely Increased
tho trade of Long Island." He met the threat;'
of the .German commander to scz thcclty
government of New York by observing, that
tho government of tiat city had long been In'
the hands of what was probably a ''faY'Vlas
efllclont control than the Germans could. give'
It. It was known throughout the world 'that
German municipal government was unexcelled!
was It not possible that a German expert in
the City Hall, by Improving upon the methods
of Tammany, could save alt of 'the indemnity,
in a year or so. As for tho fear of GerAntt
domination, had not the city Ions; bUenKovV
crncd by tho Irish and Jows, and had any one
objected? , , ' ' '
The extreme norvous tension of the natlo
suddenly broke, not ih war, but in an irre
sistible and colossal burst of laughter. Now
1,...VitA,. la nn onntncrlnim nil fear. Suddenly
an infectious burst of laughter swept the wholt M
world, the laugh that was to cna war.
