WANAMAKER'S WEATHER Fair and 4 :50 ('Mr iu L 5s' On Monday an Extraordinary Sale of Colonial Rag Rugs The Glory-and-Gunpowder Part of the War Is Over Costly? Yes, enormously costly it has been. Yet, with all the misery and impoverishment it has cittailed, especially upon the working people, who found the blood and sinew and supplied the human food for cannon, it will be worth all it has cost if it ends forever the military system that for centuries has duped the common people into subjection and poverty, breeding hatefulness, and ripening resistance into the desperation of Bolshevism, which must now and quickly be downed and destroyed. Privileged classes, with power to coerce the smaller nations and to make war, the costs of which ultimately fall almost entirely on the working people, must not be allowed to continue, whatever it costs to put them down. The hard-working people do the lighting and pay the bill, not only with their own lives on the field of battle, but also through their families at home, who must pay for ships, guns and other military requirements in taxes that double the cost of their clothes and food and of the roofs over their heads. The Needed Time Must Be Freely Given to secure enforceable agreements leading toward total' disarmament, abolishing every kind of war making possibilities, and t6ward perpetuating our right to stand upon our own feet without entangling alliances. Rather than leave any of these issues doubtful, better far to withdraw from the armistice and fight out these battles now, if need be, to protect America from another war into which we would surely be drawn, as we were when the "Lusitania" became a huge coffin, burying mothers, fathers and children. The United States has learned its lesson; and the precious lives of its sons who lie in th,e trenches, and the billions of dollars that one hundred million of its people have got to find to pay the war expenses, require our President, and the Peace Conference, and the Senate and the House of Representatives, to be sure of their ground before they bind us finally by documents. The military system and its combinations already have made far too' many victims in the world. It is for humanity that the blow must now be struck. It took four and a half years of war to get as far as this. We certainly can lake one year more to settle the safeguards for our future, rather than to "agree In haste and repent in leisure."
