IT AJRJRJSBUR.G TELEGRAPH RUSSIAN, PRUSSIAN OR CHRIS TIAN WAY? By WILLIAM T. ELLIS "After the war" that is the phrase that Is heard ten thousand times a day all over the world, and in Europe especially. Even the new est rooklo In France understands tho French of this phrase, "apros la guerre." Those who have experi enced most of war are the ones who think ever of the days to come, "after the war." Soldiers talk about this good time coming even m o ™ than they talk about tho war. Bat -1 tie smoke has only opened their eyes I to tho vision of the new earth for Which they are lighting. The world | Is to have a fresh start and a now I chance, "apres In guerre." I All dreams aro to come true, after I the war. After the powers of evil which have terrorised humanity for four years hnvo been forced to the - knees, and their arch criminals have been held to personal responsibility by the legal processes of civilisation. ' and a piece of righteousness has been ! effected, there Is to come to ,P ass - * c ; I cording to common expectation, ! world order almost Utopian. Thoughtful persons are gravely con cerned as they realise the magnitude of mankind's expectations of new conditions after the war. For the supreme problem of .no world, after the war has been won Is how to reach and maintain the new level of life for all men which a common conviction of ma /} km d !;~ mands. Whence will come the P°wer and the Impulse that will our universal desire into a wortolle reality? It is easier to talk i rbou what ought to be than to Nobody should complain of the old order or plead for the new. who Is not trying, in some definite, practic able fashion, to bring it to pass A world full of cities with no con structionists. would be a calami y like unto war itself. . The Blunder of Bolsheviks \ new program will not make a new world. Only the ba,f ~ fr c ,' m think so. We have from the Bolsheviks In Russia the ltv of a mere program. They scheduled Utopia for immedia e livery Everything that radical re formers had ever drc am ® , . pv der able for an imProvcd social they put into their edicts Poverty hard work, social disability, unm eienic living conditions all were abolished by the deliverances °* tb Bolsheviks when they took °", L in Russia.

Bolshevikism has let '°°®® a^®T r itable reign of terror upon the poor land that oime was K " ES \ a ' a "„/J' tshness. starvation, suffering and stalk hand in hand. Preachers and teachers, and every other person who thinks, should con well the lesson of Russia. Human ity cannot bo legislated or revolu tionized Into a new order of aUr All our short-cuts and "wift pana ceas for social reform have been dis credited. Let us at least be jBJ al ®' ful that we come to the end of the war with the lesson of BolshevlkUm veil learned. Germany's False God . Still keeping in mind t he J>oal -hat we are considering, a new andbetter world order, we are bound to look next at the German way. The pro gram of "kultur is that the grca est good of Germans, and, inei dentallv, of all other peoples, who should be subordinated to Germany, will be served by the dominance of education, efficiency and science. Others beside Germans had made a fetich of this root Idea of Prussian i&m. Educated and liberal per sons especially were convinced .hat mankind could be educated out of all its sins and shortcomings—lifted by their own bootstraps, as it were. If hell has ever had any bUer ally than Germany we do not know it. All the forces of evil have been strengthened by Prussianism. E\cu Turkey Yias been outdistanced anci made a disciple by the exponents of "kultur." The universities and scholars, to whom all the world of iearning used to bow down as to lit tle gods, have proved to be the mspu ation and bulwark of a conception of life which is so intolerable that civil ization is giving millions of its fairest youfcg lives to wipe it out utterly. Vnles3 we are as dunder-heaced as a Prussian officer, we shall learn the lesson, written on the ravaged soil of Belgium and France, repeat ed in Armenia and the Holy Land, and in half a dozen other little na tions, and traced in blood on every sea, that mere education, of the most thorough and scientific kind, may co exist with the very worst traits of human nature. We cannot make mankind over by science- That la one valuable lesson which Germany has taught us. Textbooks and uni versities and arrogant savants are no remedy for what Is wrong with hu man life. Evolution as a War Casualty Now that the attention of twenty million persons in North America is fixed for the present week upon this subject of a transformed world, let us think it clear through. Two ma jor methods remain for considera tion. Social revolution has failed be fore our eyes So has education to ♦he nth degree, as exemplified by "kultur." Let us regard for a mo ment another pet remedy, "evolu tion." There is a large school of per sons who, not content with accepting the doctrine of evolution in its prop er scientific place, make a shibboleth out of it. They believe that human ity is going to "evolute" cut of all of Its ills. By the processes of sur vival nnd selection, man will rise to heavenly* levels. The theory of evo lution is the bramlnical cord of the hiehbrows. Possibly tho idea would work, If we could onl" wait long enough I tnke down the Code of Hammurabi, which was posted at crossroads In Mesopotamia at the time of Abra ham, more than four thousand years ago. In it we see mirrored this an cient civilization. We are rudely Jolted from our modern complacency to find 'hat In mentality. In social grasp, in material senso cf govern mental responsibility, thoso old Baby lonians were fully as efficient as our selves. In some respects they were really ahead of us. Our evolution from the days of Hammurabi is scarcely perceptible. The scholars admit that the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia represented as high a level of brain power and construc tive ability as we possess to-day. If we have not "evolved" percept ibly In four thousand yeapi, how much longer shall we have to wait for all of our present evils to be outgrown? Frankly. I for one am. not the sort of altruist who Is willing! to wait ton thousand years to see xny| descendants bettered in character i and in estate. I want this old world made over for those needy ones' whom I have seen with my own eyes —the sore-eyed children of Asia; the starving, bitterly oppressed Assyrians and Armenians; the desolate blacks of Africa; the weary mothers of Europe, and the bent tollers of all the earth. My Interest Is In some thing immediate and practicable. 1 am too much of an American In spirit to bo willing to wait like a Theosophlst or a Hindu for a long series of reincarnations that will finally merge man Into Nirvana. Power For the Machinery All of which drives us straight to tho one proved and immediate reme dy for the world's Ills. I am among those who have a first-hand knowl edge of heathen character made holy by the power of Christ.
