W. Lumpkin and J. W. McMillan. Messrs John M. Edwards, Sol Barrett and two boys, and Mr. P. J. and four of his boys went to Black Lake list Tuesday on a fish- excursion. They caught some fish and had lots of fun. Little Char lie Barrett caught a black fish weigh ing about four pounds, and after an exciting struggle the fish got away, tu the great regret of Charlie. The most thrilling incident of the oc casion is thus related: Mr. Cline was left to take cure of the boys, while Mr. Barrett and Mr. Edwards went off to catch some fish. Dur ing their absence Mr. Cline fell in the lake and the boys pulled him out. War Talk A German leader, Dr. Paul Oest- reich, declares that America and Eng land wjjj certainly be driven into war. They will both woo Germany for an ally, and in this way Germany *:l! rifv in the council of nations. We have had among our own peo ple nen who predict that war is cer- Uin. They say that human nature cannot be changed and that war is inevitably due ensue. Uoyd George says: “In every country it is part of the business of i the fighting staff to work out a plan for defense against all conceivable enemies. They gloat over their effici ency and, like every inventor, yearn to put their machine to a test, until powible war soon beco-ies likely and likely war gradually glides into inevitable." From time immemorial nations and tribes have sought to “protect" them selves by increasing their armaments. A considerable portion of the press is urging the United States greatly to increase armament on sea and land in order to “protect” ituelf. There never was a nation that could so protect itself. Greece tried it, and Rome and Spain and Germany and Russia, and they .all fell. The best protection for a nation is for it to form some kind of combi nation with other nations which pub lic sentiment will endorse that shall abolish war ns a final arbiter. The most hopeful sign today ia that people ure finding out that war not only costs them money and val uable lives, but destroys property and sets back business. It would be a good thing if every boy and girl in the country 1 compelled to serve two years under the tutelage of army officers in c< structing great public work* such the Boulder Dam and the Mississippi Reclamation projects. There s no objection to universal conscription, if it is universal, and if it is not primarily for the purpose of fighting. These boys and girls would be potential withers in case we ’ ever attacked, but their employment upon constructive works would r.ot be in the nature of a provocation of war to other nations. Some way or other we must give up our arms and defer questions of international dispute to some other arbiter than crass nationalism. One hopeful sign is that plant/ of peace are openly discussed in inter national councils. The late Pan- American Congress was full of peace talk. And peace-talking brings peace, just as war talk bring* war. The question after all is one of public opinion and the sooner that public opinion is turned away frmo causes of war and toward the efforts of peace the better will be our prospects.
