Tlie war has torpedoed many a well loved theory. There is none which it has demolished more effectively than the theory, well loved of young men, that the young man is the real giant of the modern world. Aside from the fact revealed and its implications, the rlumpb of the old man-though who shall say that a man of Jellicou's or even Hindenburg's yearB ls really old -has Interesting aspects. It was tho modern doctrine of efficiency that de throned and discredited the man 'who is not young.

COLLEfjE HOV IN LIFE. Once upon a time the editor of a famous newspaper said that the trou ble with college graduates who applied at his office for work was that they felt "too sure of themselves;" that with their advantages they did not feel the need to Btrain and struggle for success. Very often these college men would be outstripped In newspaper work by some fellow of meagre educa tion with a grim determination to suc ceed Thc average college man has found the doors of life opening .easily. Father always provided the money. With a moderate amount of work the tests coUld bo passed. If he behaved Uko a gentleman he was popular with students and the faculty. 1 The outside world is a different proposition altogether. For most young men lt Is one long up-hill climb, until the best of life ls passed. College teaches a fellow to think and gives him aocial experience. But quite often lt takes several years after graduation for him tn*?-realise what a grind and ! struggle ts necessary for SUCCCSB. MB. Bili'AX'S MUNITIONS VIEWS.. Mr. Bryan's attitude continues to be rather puzzling. The remarkable "peace meeting" at Madison Square Garden in New York, at which he waa tbe principal speaker, adopted resolu tions demanding that the United States government stop the exportation of arms and ammunition. Mr. Bryan did not write those resolution; they were prepared presumably by tho German American faders under whose auspi ces the meeting was held. And yet in the ci: .umstances, he seemed to sanc tion them. That placed him In a position pre cisely opposite the one ho took in his recent appeal to German citizens, alter his resignation from the cabinot. In tn that statement he explained that the government could not stop the munitions traffic, and should not be ex pected to. His reasoning was tho samo ns ithat which he set forth more fully in a personal letter written to Sen ator Stone on the 20th of last Janu ary, in which he Bald: , "If any German citizens, partisans of Germany and Aststria-llungnry, feel that this administration is acting in a way injurious to tim cause of those countries, this feeling results from the fact that on the high seas thc German and Austro-Hungarlan naval power ls. thus far inferior to the British. It ls the business of a belligerent operating on the high seas, not the duty of a neutral, to prevent contraband from reaching the enemy. , "Those In thia country who sympa thize wltb Germany and Austria-Hun gary appear to assume that some ob ligation rests upon this government. In tho performance of its neutral duty, tr? prevent all trade in contraband, and thus to equalize the difference dre to the relative naval strength of ibo hel li K-.-ron ts. "No auch obligation exists; it would bc an unneuiral act, an act ot par tiality on the part.of this government, to adopt such a poilcy,;anthe executive had the power to" do . so. If Germany and Austro-Kungary can not import ?contraband from tula country, It ls not, "?,ftfkT 0 n equal, ti FA1KNES8 TO NATIONAL (J I'A II OS. MEN. A different attitude toward? the mil itia IH perceptible a? tlte nation begins to realize the imporant place occupied by such a body in our national sch.Tie of defense. A guardsman IP not longer looked upon as a sort of crank with a harmless penchant for marching in uniform and going camping. And when he aHks, now for a leave of ab sence from his employment in order to attend the regular encampment or manoeuvres, he Isn't so likely to be threatened with the loss of his Job. No longer than last year many a conscientious guardsman did lose lils job for taking the time off to attend evening drill or summer camp to pre pare hlmseir for his military duties. Tbs just complains of guardsmen, re inforced by the spectacle of the Euro pean conflict and the sobering possi bility of our being drawn into it, have made employers suddenly respectful of their citizen soldiers, and willing to co-operate with them. A big Boston finn has announced its intention of encouraging its men in every possible way to become members of the na tional guard. The guardsmen of Tif fin, Ohio, report that without exception their employers have expressed their pleasure in letting the men off for the state manoeuvres. The same dispo sition ls msnifested all over the coun try. That's the way lt should be ali 'ho time. The national guard, the citizen army, ls the Ideal defensive force for the United States, the one most in harmony with our idealB, and if prop erly developed most Butted for the only purpose that we need an army for. Wo want no great standing army in America, and we do not want any great respect for a military uniform; but the more respect we have for our voluntary and self-sacrificing citizen soldiers now and hereafter, the better lt will be for the country. AFRAID OF "ARMAMENT TRUST." The United Mine Workers of Amer ica has issued a manifesto devoted tc the so-called "armament trust," which has not long been recognized as a peril to the welfare of Europe, but hau seldom been viewed with alarm on this side of the water. At the present time, however, plenty of ether citizens will agree with the mine workers In tak ing a disquieting view of the situa tion. The munitions Industry is grow lai; to stupendous proportions. Jus', how it does not have to resort to any considerable means to obtain orders. Europe ls clamoring for all our fac tories can produce In the way of guns, rifles, cartridges, shells, powder, etc. But suppose the foreign demand should lessen, for any reason, after Otese hundreds of plants have become accustomed to a steady and volumi nous output, Suppose the war should end suddenly. It wilt end sooner or later, anyhow. What then? Will all the American munitions manufactur ers be content to dismantle ;heir plants? Or will they not try to con tinu? their' profitable operations by seeking a new market at home? This ls what the mine workern fear. They remind the public that thc arm ament makers ot Europe have long stimulated their business by "working to stir up feelings of mutual distrust between nations, to thc great pecu niary benefit of Oto men who are In terested." The activity i>f sr.ch cor porations has given-rise, within two years, to grave scandals in Germany and Japan. There is no doubt that mach of the top-heavy armament which which brought destruction to Europe was due to the professional playing of the gun-makers upon the mutual fears of rival powers. Nobody believes that there are any American manufacturers who 'would deliberately plot either to involve this country in war for private profit, or to create a market for their goods based on fears they knew to bc groundless. But we are all human, and'it ta easy for a business man to believe things that mean increased business. Thc jingoes are always ready with their pleas for more ship?, more guns, more soldiers ?nd saliera. The munitions traffic itself baa a sort ot corrupting Influence, subduing men to the stuff they Uork wltn. So that war comes to seem natural and inevi table, and peace a hopeless dream un less H ls based Ott vast Pfeparailons. for defense. We hope for the best, and trupi that Uid devotion of so lurg* a par? of our capital and labor to making war 'ma terials will aol tend to militarise ,lr.4 nation, or any . aUJe part o? it. But lt I? Just +++*****************++ ? ? ? A VICIOUS PROPAGANDA t ? * ********************** When tho president of Princeton university. Dr. Hibben, made his strik ing protest against peace-at-any-price pacifism at the Mohonk conference on international arbitration, he said: "I am not in sympathy with the peace propaganda which IB being prosecut ed many of our schools, so far. at least* as lt endeavors to quicken the peace sentiment by Impressing upon the mind of the young chidren the horrors or the economic losses of war." Very few American who read these words as they appeared in newspapers throughout the country got their sig nificance. In fact, probably no one knows to what extent currency is be ing given in the schools to the paci fist theories of the Carnegie-Jordan school, which President Hibben had in mind, but new light is thrown upon tills movement being distributed by the "Division of Intercourse and Edu cation of tlie Carnegie Endowment for International Peace." lt is entitled "Problems About War," "for disses In arithmetic," and is "designed ot lay be fore young people In the elementary schools, at the most impressionable age, the fact of the wastefulness of war." Here are specimens of tho problems: War Expenses und Oar Pleasure*.. Problems Involving Long Division. 1. There are 300,000 Boy Scouts in America, and $30 on ah average would give each of them a camping trip and a scout suit this year. We spent on our war department $173,522,804 hist year. This amount would pay these expenses of the Boy Scouts for how many years? 2. Most boys would like to go to a hall game every week. If a boy went1 to a game every week for a season of twenty week, and took a 50 cent scat, how much would lt cost for the sea son? The amount which, we spent on our navy last year, $139,682,186, would pay for tickets for how many boy?? 4. A good ~ennis racket can be bo?ght for $1.60. The battleship Ver mont cost $7,663,963. This amount would buy rackets for how many boys and girls? 9. During the year preceding the great war the five great* European powers spent $898,921,000 on their armies. At 10 cents per ticket, how many tickets to some good moving pic ture plays would such4an amount buy for each of the 450,000,000 people in. these countries? Answer to the near est unit. The deep offlense pf th|s subtle and corrupting appea to the pleasure lov ing instinct of childhood is made the more nauseating by the following note: "It ls hoped that such examples, re lating to the immediate interests of the pupils, may furnish meaus for giv ing them some Idea of the vastness of expenditure for armaments. It ts nM Intended to 'suggest that Hie money 'spent for war would otherwise be spent for pleasure, but to offer famil iar standards of measure to allow our. youth to appreciate the size of num bers represented by these endless 'ca ravans of figures.' " Thia, under a hypocritical disguise of education, IB peace at any price in Its most contemptible form, an attack upon the moralo of American youth which, if permitted to be carried out, will have the worst effect upon the character ot-the next.generation. That lt should be offered anlously as an ef fort at creating a "broader patriotism and higher ideals" i's a striking exam ple of Ure Intellectual dishonesty and moral perversion of the Carnegie propaganda. These problems, we are informed by the Carnegie Endowment, "are sent to thousands of teachers and text-book writers throughout the United States." If such is he case the Carnegie En dowment is revealed as a menace not to bo permitted without determined attempt to couneract in Influence. If his type of pacifism expresses American morale oday or tomorrow the fate of this nation will bc worse than China's and far more deserved. ******************** + * + THE UFE BEYOND. * *********************>* When on my day of . !ife "the night ls falling And in the wind from unsunned spaces blown, I hear far voices out ot the darkness calling .
