THE SUNDAY . OREGONIAN, . PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 10, 191?. W WAR GAME PLAYED OUT, SAYS JORDAN Educator Predicts Civilized Nations Will Make End to Conflicts of Arms. BURDEN IS ON POSTERITY CWef Ixss Regarded as Sapping of Nation's Virility Throojrh Kill ing of Best Men Japanese Strength Gained in Peace. KANSAS CITT. Nov. 9. "Whatever the noise and bluster and apparent provocation there will never be an other great war in Europe. The game is played out." This declaration was made here to night by David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford University, address ing- the Knife and Fork Club. Dr. Jordan declared that "war is world sickness," which "must spread from one part to all the others." He spoke of the degeneration of nations through the loss of their best citizens, the young and virile, Jn war, and traced through history the wrecking of em pi res. Japan's terrible strength as shown in the war with Russia was not due to constant practice in warfare, he said, but rather to centuries of peace wherein the race had grown strong through a struggle for exist ence, which had eliminated the weak instead of the strong and courageous. C'aaadlaa Boaadary Oae f Peacv. "International peace," he said, "means a condition in which the boundary line between nations is not a line of suspicion and hate, but a convenience In judicial and administrative adjust ments. "Such a boundary line is the 4000 mile line that seperates Canada from the united States, an undefended bor der which for nearly 100 years has not known a fortress, nor a warship, nor a gun. "An armed peace by which nations are supposed to be frightened into acquiescence la in the long run likely to be as ruinous as war. The war has ceased: Its cost still goes on. . "A gigantic National debt involves an Invisible empire which shall direct and control credit. The foundation of such an empire was laid a century and a half ago by the pawnbroker. Meyer. called Rothschild, of Frankfort-on-the Main. From the battle of Waterloo until his death, Nathan Rothschild was the actual ruler of Europe. Coat Shifted t Poaterltr. "To control It Is not necessary to own. As one may control a railway without owning It. so one may con trol a nation. The war debt of Europe today approaches twenty-six thousand millions of dollars. The system of lay ing burdens on posterity,' says Gold win Smith, "removes the last check on war.' "By means of indirect taxation the people' never know what they are pay ing. By means of the war debt the coBt Is shifted to generations yet un born. We are not only living beyond our means, but beyond the means of the fourth generation. "Twelve millions of dollars yester day was the standard cost of a dread nought; today It is 15.000.000, and a few more years will raise this to 125, 000.000, unless. Indeed, by that Um such vessels can be had for their worth In old Iron. "It Is easier for a nation, as for a man. to fall Into the lead of its as sociates than to strike out for Itself toward thrift, honesty and prosperity. "It cost us 650,000 lives of young men to get rid of slavery. I saw not long ago In Maryland SO acres of those young men. There are some- 12.000 acres filled with them on the fields of the South. This number was the best the Nation could bring. The gaps they left are filled to all ap pearances. But a new generation has grown up of men and women born since the war. The men that died in the "weary time' had better stuff in them than the father of the average man today. "Benjamin Franklin said "Wars are not paid for In war times; the bill comes later.'

Louis Barth, Hungarian and self-styled au tograph king," sailed on the steamship Campania from Liverpool today with a volume containing nearly a thousand autographs of the most prominent Eu ropeans. He declares he is tne only private collector to capture the auto graph of Emperor Franz Joseph, of Austria-Hungary. Among other in scribe are the Kaiser, King Edward VII, who said "the only fault of the book is that It isn t mine : Dowager- Queen Alexandra, Pope Pius, King George, Queen Mary, the Kings of Den mark, Greece and Portugal, and Car men Sylva, the last being the pen name of Queen Elizabeth, of Roumanla. Almost all the members of English and European royal houses have signed their names. J. P. Morgan has also signed. Barth says he has been offered 1200,000 for the book. The only time the book ever left Barth's possession was a year ago when he lent It for a night to Dowager-Queen Alexandra. Barth now makes the book pay by ppeallng to human vanity. He puts a price on the privilege of signing a book in which -are autographs of so many great people by asking contri' button toward the expense of repro ducing the entire volume. He says he obtained 11260 from Birch Crisp, of Chinese loan tame, and $1500 from one of the Rothschilds. He believes that the United States will be a fruitful field of contribution. He has an Intro duction to Andrew Carnegie and figures that the former steel king will pay 120.000 for the privilege of signing his name among those of the potentates of the world.
