MONDAY, DEC. 3, 1917 HOW PACIFISM DEFEATS IT SELF There are in this country pa- ctfists wno are reauy pro-uer- o .ctlv n.1. mans, working as earnestly as anybody can for the kaiser. But there are also pacifists who abhor the kaiser and are gen uinely opposed to war. The unfortunate thing about these good people is they are "taking the very step that will defeat their dreams. By .talking of peace now they play directly into he kaiser's hands. A peace now would be a premature peace, an incon clusive peace, a German peace. It would leave the' kaiser mas ter of middle Europe, with ho punishment for having brought this horror upon the world, and with his hands free to prepare for the next war of which the' German speakers are constant ly talking and. German publi cists constantly writing. A peace such as the honest pacifists in this country are now talking of w.ould be the seed of many future wars- It would be more than tjjat. It would be the cause of the greatest development of mili tarism the world ever saw. Nations would be armed camps. France would not dare allow her citizens to return to peaceful pursuits. England would not dare to dismiss her soldiers to their old industrial life. Our own country would not be able to return to the old status. On the other hand, it would be an imperative necessity for us to keep in our army millions of youths against the Arma geddon sure to .be unloosed upon civilization the .moment the Hohenzollerns felt able to renew the conflict. And what would this state of armed preparedness bring in its train? Does any thinking man believe it would mean more lib erty, more democracy in the world? When nations sleep on heir arms, liberty, and democracy go by the boards. The tendency in Prance, in England, in Italy, In this coun try would be to make the mili tary paramount. Instead of less, there would be more res trictions for the ordinary citi zens. There would be a con- stant tenecy,, center power in tne bands of one man or or & small group of men. Every thing would be sacrificed for the one great object safety from the Hohenzollerns. BBBBSW ' Tho conclusion Is, therefore, Inevitable. Tho convinced and honest pacifist, far from crying for an early cessation of hos tilities, should demand that his country and its allies push this war to a victorious 0011(511181011. Only when Germany Is thor oughly beaten, only when tho wicked Hohenzollern tribe is unhorsed, only when it is shown that militarism and war making do not pay, will it be nosslblo to have a world in which peace reigns and arma ments can be reduced. Marsh field Record. OUR LOANS TO OTHER NA TIONS. The United States has loaned to other nations engaged In war with Germany something over three billion dollars, taking for the sums advanced the obliga' tions of such nations, bearing the same interest and maturing at the same time as the Liberty Loan Bonds. The wisdom of this policy Is beyond question. By strength ening these nations and making them as powerful and as effect- ive as possible we are Rreatly , ... . x , . 4. aiding in uie suorieiuns ui cue Struggle: we are doing much to 4 estate are hereby notified to pre 68 ' & Sent thQ san)0i properiy verified and hlBUre an ultimate Victory; we with the proper vouchers, to the ad- ,-, ir Mint if la minlstratrlx at the office of Young & are doing only tliat which it is In Pnnn, rn..rt ,.. Jth. ut t0 rt0 toward our allies ... J in tfiis tremenaous war agnumi. an autocracy which would de base and enslave all nations and men. The. fact that if we did not advance this money much of the work which tne allies are doing would have to be done with American money and Am erican men establishes clearly the Intelligence and wisdom of our policy. There is work 'to be done which requires the expenditure of blood and treasure. -In mak ing these money advances to Great Britain, France, Italy and other nations we are lending money, which will be returned to us, instead of expending sums possibly as great, possibly greater, with no hope of return. In addition, we are saving tho lives of American soldiers. No policy the American Gov ernment has pursued Is wiser or more truly economical and patriotic. OUR SAVINGS AND ARMY. OUrf "Our gallant men in the field will do the fighting with true American valpr, but the res ponsibility rests upon you and me and every other citizen of the United States who is not in active service to provide them with the equipment and ma chines to enable them to fight successfully. "Valor alone Is not going to destroy the Kaiser and military despotism. We njust have or ganization back of It. Every man In this country must be a patrfrt. "The value of the war-sav ings plan consists not alone In the amount of money which the j people of the United States may j lend to their Government upon the certificates which are sold, j but also in the lesson which will be taught, in the habits of thrift j that will be inculcated as a re-' suit of it. What this will mean in conserving the resources of America is inestimable. -What thiB will mean in the future economy of America is incal culable. "Victory can only be won by the valor of our soldiers, com bined with the intelligent use of our resources. Savings and economy enlarge the available resources of the country for war, and the industry of the people is necessary to put these resources . in tho form which wllljOnnlile our soldiers to use them with victorious effect upon tho battle fronts.
