It In of tho American that ho should
invent something fine- or devilish as
tho enso may bo and loavo others to
perfect It! Surh Is tho story of tho
submarine, of tho airplane, and even
of tho automobile.
During the Inst two decades of tho
nineteenth century queer, long-haired,
Inntcrn-Jawcd geniuses were to bo seen
in our middle western cities cruising
ubout tho streets In self-propelled bug
gies from which tho shafts had been
removed, but It remained for France
to perfect the C. G. C Germany tho
Mercedes and tho nenz, and Hrltnln
tho Rolls Royco. How proud wo wcro
of our flying and yet Kuropo has per
fected an airplane engine that we can
not approach And Germany has con
verted our submarlno into tho greatest
menace our democracy has ever had
to face. On tho 2Sth of May, when I
write these words, they nro no exag
geration, hut nro meant to convey tho
most solemn and' desperate of facts.
I'erhnps within n phort while some of
our wizard scientists may have de
veloped on antitoxin for tho pest. Hero

eradicable! And while I am not one of those

assert that nn angry Jehovah Is visit-

world revolution. More, much more, Is at stake than dominions and principalities
and crowns.
It Is well for America to understand this. The real cleavage, tho real struggle. Is
between privilege and equality of opportunity, not between William of Hohcnzollern
and (he Blav tncnarc; nor Is the fundamental Issue that of a lialkan corridor or a
now partition of continental Europe or tho German colonies of Africa. Tho Issuo
Is the brotherhood of man, end It Is for this our navy and our armies nro preparing
to fight. Kussla Is tho symptom, Kuropo tho battleground, American tho ultlmato
pivot.
IF GUIIMANY WINS, DEMOCIUCV IS LOST
Ruccess or failure depends on us. If Germany wins, reaction and privilege arc
to gain a new grip; the battle for liberty will havo to bo fought nil over again. Tho
foct that the masses of America havo been slow to realize It, have hitherto persisted
and quite naturally In regarding tho struggle- as yet another of thoso wars aroused
by Jealousy and tho lust for conquest of the nntlons of nn overcrowded Europe, has
largely accounted for our former Indifference Tho flaming Issue of today, the lssuo
In which America, and especially western America, Is absorbod, Is tile social lssuo.
And once wo porcclvo that Armageddon Is being fought on this, our Indifference
will bo nt nn end. George Washington was right. So long as Europe quarreled
over prlvlloge, dominions nnd crowns it was nono of our affair; but now that humnn
liberty Is at stake, not alone In America, but in every country In tho globe, wo can
fight side by side with democratized Britain, whom our Influenco and that of her
own dominions of Canada and Australia havo helped to democratize. For tho
Anglo-Saxon principle of liberty that comes to Itself without external pressure or
superimposed authority wo havo fought four wars, and now wo nro preparing to
fight another, tho greatest of all.
In tho meantime ono sees nnomallos, nt onco humorous and tragic. Well
dressed people como and go, laughing and chatting along the green streets of Wash
ington; tho hotels nro gay; Jeweled women and men In evening clothes are feasting;
thcro aro dinner parties every night, dinner parties restricted to throo courses nnd
1300 worth of flowors. In vnrious parts of tho land some of our patriots are clamor
ing for business ns usual. But down on tho battleship floct, of which I shall write,
our naval ofllcors nre working twelvo hours a day, nnd often more, training our
90,000 now recruits who will fight this battlo for liberty on tho seas, On tho seas
must tho battle bo fought and tho victory for liberty won.

!?lne unon our land of milk and honey a national calamity
gnd our sins, I am of tho opinion that hardship und sorrow nnd tests of endurance,
when they come, may bo made profitable to tho wise. I want America to bo wise.
Wt want America to look facts In tho face, to censo to be foolishly romantic. I want
."America to learn tho great lesson of finishing well what she has well begun, to be
fSkorkmanllko and not romantically scientific.
j WORLD'S DEMOCRACY IN' HANDS OF AMERICA
m Thero are wise men who havo como to Washington, men who havo no Illusions,
;j$ho have been abroad and seen tho stark reality of this Old Testament war mado
JJjnore terrible by the perversions of human Invention. And these- havo said to me,
"jMT'ou aro going to write a book ubout this thing. Tell the, people the truth. It is
fio picnic, but the most serious predicament that has over confronted our Republic.
pMrtie world looks to up to save democracy.
jj "Such, In effect, Is the lesson tho French mission brings, tho Italian nnd British
j5ts8lons, such Is tho message thnt comes to us across tho seas from dlstractod
wfeussla. And if wo are to conquer we must perform tho mlraclo of socializing our-
Skives, of bringing into ono hundred million souls unity nnd singleness of purposo
. and a determination to consecrate nil our energies, all our offorts to that purposo.
TTSfothing less than this will save us nnd save civilization. It Is our war. From tho
' beginning It was destined so to bo by tho very nature of our spirit and institutions."
Now that monarchy totters to tho blows of othors, now that despotism fights
with Its. back to the wall, shall we, who havo decried and defied both, withhold our
hand?
Wo are an easy-going, generous giant. Seated afar, absorbed in our own
affairs and troubles, we found it difficult to grasp tho fact that It was our war,
' and then, wo get ready to fling several billions of dollars Into the empty coffors of
' the Allies. Now wo nro preparing to light, to send our soldiers and ships to the
shambles. But oh. how blithely!
Often tho greatest dangers would seem to bo those that steal upon us In carni
val time. Every nation save France nlono has gone Into this war with a light
heart; but Franco lmd not forgotten tho terrible losson of 1870. Even Belgium,
, whose tragedy has moved tho world to tears and wrath Belgium was light-hearted
When the fog-gray legions wore rolling westward toward tho gates of Liege.
Only tho other day I was reading over ngaln, ns In a book of ancient history,
that wonderful account of Mr. Richard Harding Davis's of tho beginning of the
war. And a few weeks later, when tho Pails cafes were closed nnd tho boulevnrds
dark, when tho gallant little British army was being decimated, the Thames wns
bright with bunting, tho music halls of London were In full blast, nnd Britain, who
has suffered and mourned and stinted, who since has flung nil tho resources of her
' empire to stem tho tide of frightfulness, failed to grasp the fact that Armageddon
. had come. AVhen I was being entertained in Ottawa in the autumn of 1915 1 sat
next to a member of tho Dominion's Cabinet who told mo that their early recruits
wero mostly emigrants from tho British Isles, that tho older Canadians nt first had
been unable to visualize a war In another hemisphere such was tho momentum of
' the American tradition of Isolation. Since then, Canada has been drained of het
best, and still tho war continues.
v MEN MAY SMILE, BUT WAR IS GRIM TASK
Judging from Washington, one might gather that the war is assuming the
. proportions of a national plcntc. And Washington was never more beautiful. The
; horso chestnuts are In bloom on Cnpltol Hill, tho lawns nre ablazo with flowers,
! the great trees that shade Its streets are heavy with leaves. Flags are shining. The
Strieolori and tho flag of Britain fly side by side from prlvnto houses and public
buildings, from three high standards before tho Union Station to greet the new
i comer. And everywhere, too, is the royal flag of tho house of Savoy. Even mon-
" archs are becoming democratic In the splendor of tho now age of brotherhood pro
.v'i, claimed. Democracy Is casting off her drabnoss. Soldiers nnd sailors pass to nnd
fro, officers In our trim new khaki mingle In tho rlubs. In tho Shoreham with Brlt
V!SjlsherB. with Frenchmen and Italians and nil bear the stamp of tho new age, nil
jEkare eloquent of the new fraternity of tolerance and understanding. Tho shako has
'UsdTsappeared, and with It nil the absurdities of the old-fashloncd pomp of war. Thoso
V 'S?,'nr un'forms are business-like, Impressive: they represent democracy, but some
'TVSjtof'wf more than the old democracy a new element of self-respect and pride und
, lt efficiency. Our young men nro here, In uniform; our collogo graduatos, as unlike
Ifko posslblo to tho collcgo graduates of ten nnd twenty years ago. They hold them
selves straight, there Is a look of resolution on their faces yet n smllo is on their
'.' lips. There Is consecration here, determination to see tho thing through, a general
feeling of relief that we aro at last whero wo belong. And every day and nil day
t,,B tralns come ln trom North and South und West with clear-eyed men eager to
vracelp, who havo cast aside their own private nffulrs to merge themselves and their
. Snatlon into tho great cuuso of mankind.
W. If any one would see tho Anglo-Saxon principle of democracy at work, speeded
; '2up by tho socializing trend of this war, let him come to Washington. For Anglo-
' iffSsjcon democracy Is the parablo of the prodigal son, and America Is the Far Country
. tLcifoto which wo have taken our Inheritance of liberty. That we should have squan-
St&ered It at first, that we should have gono to tho llmltrt of Individualism, self-con-
ttentment and self-sufnclcnoy Is not surprising; It Is mcroly psycnoiogy. ina now,

(yearning to be socialized should begin to overwhelm us, and In search of our own
elf-realization wo should voluntarilu turn our faces homeward to do our share in
'bringing about a greater brotherhood of man nnd tho kingdom of God. That Is
erely psychology, tqo. '
And when I speak of Anglo-Saxon democracy I speak of something that Is
yTgriater than the ties of blood, of a tradition, n principle nt work In us and in the
ijforld. I speak of that Inltiatlvo and self-confidence, or that conquering laun mm

from subserviency, and then, discovering that his battle Is only half won, that he
Vannot live unto himself 'alone, he returns with new qualities to achieve his quest.

PANAMA CITY. June 9.
Fresh details of the earthquake and
volcanic eruption In Salvador, received
hero today, fay that the loss of llfo Is be
lieved to have been small.
Tho heaviest damage was done at San
Salvador, the capital, and Panta Tecla.
The shocks began at 7 o'clock Thursday
nlKht and lasted until 7 o'clock yesterday
morning. Fortunately the earthquake was
accompanied by torrential rainstorms
which put out tho fires started by molten
lava and hot cinders from the crater of
the San Salvador volcano.
Relief work has already been started.
Tho President of Nicaragua has telegraphed
to the President of Salvador offering any
possible assistance.
It Is estimated thut about 60.000 Salva
dorlans are homeless and must be taken
caro of by tho Government until houses
aro rebuilt.
SALVADOR ADVICES
SHOW FEW DEAD
NEW YORK, June 9.
Hope, based on c.iblcs rci'elved since the
first shock of the disaster, that tho earth
quake which wrecked the city of San Sal
vador and surrounding towns for the sixth
time In their history did not take a heavy
toll of life was expressed by local agents
of San Salvador firms hero today.
Since receipt of the message. "All well,"
from Day & Bloom, San Salvador bankers,
by Bloom Brothers, their fiscal agents here,
no additional word has arrived.
However, reports from tho capital of the
little Island republic Indicate that heavy
loss of life may have been suffered In the
provincial towns, while tho loss In San Sal
vador Itself was virtually confined to
property.
Bloom Brothers received their "all well"
message shortly after midnight today and
have heard nothing since.
A report from Ran Miguel declared only
100 houses wi-Vo left Ptandlng ln San Sal
vador. Heavy earthquakes, It said, were
followed by a deluge of lava and boiling
water from tho group of volcanoes which
flanks the city.
The largest of the volcanoes are Santa
Ana and San Miguel. In the midst of
tho group also lies tne volcanic lak of
Ilopango. A volcanic Island 150 feet high
stands ln the center of this lake.
According to Manuel Teralta. secretary
of the San Salvador consulate here, this
lake rises and falls as much as forty feet
at a time. The last time 11 dropped, he
said, so many thousands of flsh lay dead
on Its banks that the population had to
turn out en masse and bury them to avoid
a pestilence.

IN MINE DISASTER
Fire Drives Rescuers From
Pit Where 250 Men
Are Missing
LAMP EXPLOSION CAUSE
HUTTR, Mont.. June 9.
With 260 miners missing, rescue 'parties
today were making frantic efforts to deter
mine how many men lost their lives In the
explosion and flro that Is raging In Specu
lator Mine of the North Butte Company.
It was feared that between 100 and 160
men were dead.
Offlclals of tho, company posted a list of
tho missing men, along with a hopeful
bulletin stating that many of these were
believed to have escaped through adjoin
ing mines. Five mining properties con
nected with the North Butte's mine are on
the same level,
Rescuers were driven back by smoke
when they reached the 700-foot level. As
cending to the surface they were met by
a freniled crowd of women nnd children
who were seeking to learn whether their
husbands and fathers were safe.
At midnight the mouth of the mine shaft
had been the scene of heart-breaking Inci
dents Seventeen bodies were hoisted to
the surface nt that hour by helmeted res
curers Three more bodies were seen by
the rescuers before they were driven from
the mine by gas fumes and smoke.
A total of 41S men wero ln the mine at
the time a carbldo lamp on a miner's hat
exploded and started the disastrous fire.
Of this nil but 250 missing men had been
accounted for today
Survivors said that as soon ns the miner's
lamp exploded a blast of gas swept Into
Diamond Mine, which adjoined the North
Butte property. This blast killed six men
outright, among them Con O'Neal, foreman
of the mine and a well known operating
official of the Anaconda Copper Mining
Company
More than fifty men were carried from
this shaft unconscious, but It Is believed
none of them will die Prompt action by
surviving miners shut this mlno off from
the North Butte mine nnd confined tho lire
that had started to that property.
The North Butte mine ?s S600 feet deep,
reaching farther Into the earth than any
shaft In this section. Officials were cling
ing to the theory that tho men trapped
somewhere below had succeeded in shut
ting themselves off In one of the many deep
caverns and thAt they could hold out until
tho flro was extinguished and the rtcu
parties could delve below the- flre-sw,,,
portion of Ihe mine. n
