"What Effect Will the European War Have Upon the Citizenship of America? (Written by Mrs. W. P. Jones for the U. D. C.) America now stands upon the threshold of a new era. Peace has come upon the land after the whole world has been shaken to its very foundations by the bloodiest, most horrible and most stupendous war ever waged in the history of mankind. Most of the European countries are now passing through a period of anarchy and lawlessness, the lands are devastated and the people unhappy and dissatisfied. How has America fared? Will her future be also darkened and her progress retarded on account of it? With our whole hearts, souls and minds we entered it, we gave our Desi, our uearesi, our hearts' blood, expecting and hoping for nothing in return, gave all in the cause of humanity with the sole object, as President Wilson says, to vindicate the principles of peace and justice as against selfish and autocratic power, and to insure the future observance of these principles. Without greed or selfish motive our boys have gone across, fighting for their ideals and they are coming back \ to us victorious, not only in arms, but victorious over the enemies of the higher life, and we who have stayed at home have also had our hearts and lives touched and things can never again be as they once were. A new day is dawning for America, a day of glorious possibilities for God is on our side. First of all, from West to East, from North to South, there, is going to be a great spiritual awakening. These boys who have looked into the face of death and have tasted its mysteries can never again feel th^ same careless indiffer ence to life and its possibilities. While the other victorious nations are claiming indemnities, return of stolen lands and various gains, what does America get for her fallen and maimed sons and expended millions? She stands out as the one nation which has asked for and will receive nothing in material gain. She has received something better, the inspiration of her citizens to live up to a great ideal, to show the world that the sons of America will die for a worthy cause and they are going to live for something more than mere personal gain. So the first good effect of the war has been to teach our people a lesson of unselfishness, America has been called by the world a selfish nation and to a great ex-j tent this accusation has been true. It only needed to be awakened and touched to redeem itself. Sending our boys to a foreign country to help liberate oppressed people was our greatest gift. Many sums, amounting - * to millions of dollars, were freely and ungrudgingly given. Never in the annals of history have people given so much for any cause. Thousands of men, who were not subject to . draft age, gave up lucrative positions and joined the ranks at $30 per] month, many working for their country at an allowance of $1.00 per year. Other men turned over their factories and buildings to the government. Women who had always lived in luxury began wearing the most common ClUliies, liia.il v uetmydigucu tuo wuu' try for funds for the Red Cross and numbers even went into training for nurses. People all over the country gave up their automobile rides on Sundays and observed wheatless and meatless days. 1 Next to unselfishness in importance has been the lesson of obedience learned in the army. Untrained and often unruly boys have found that they must obey unq,uestioningly a superior command and that a man must a . . 1 I do his duty no matter what the cost may be. He learns that he must do at all hazards the things assigned him; the result of a great battle often depending upon the execution of an order or upon a few men holding their post. Surely this one lesson will make better citizens of thousands of boys who otherwise would have spent unrestrained, reckless lives. The educated man makes the very best citizen and the army has been the means of bringing educa ^ tional advantages to hosts of boys from the mountains, the mills and the country who would never have learned to even read and write had it not been for the big training schools oDerateri all over the country. Thousands of men were taught special trades and every man who went to France received a general, practical education. The enlisted men have traveled over our country and they have traveled in foreign lands; so their minds are broadened and they will return home with a new zeal for life. Nothing broadens the vision like travel. Do you think these boys will ever be satisfied with their old lives? No, and they will endeavor also to help those near and dear to also catch the vision. The physical development of the young manhood of the country, too, has been perfectly wonderful, not only were four million men who served i MEANT TO KNIFE PREMIER.

This lesson alone will have a very beneficial effect upon the future citizenship of the country. One of the first lessons that they were taught in health was that they must have sanitary suiroundings to be well. The training camps were models in sanitation and not only did the government - teach these lessons to the soldiers but to her citizens generally. For fear of being too lengthy, I must touch briefly upon many other things by which our men have been benefited; in fact, the benefits from these have been felt by our citizens as a whole. Really, each of these deserve at least a paragraph. Thriftfulness, taught by the necessities of the war, will make our people more valuable to their country's prosperity. The many laws enacted against immorality will be of invaluable aid. All houses of prostitution were closed and the inmates driven out from the towns near the camps, while the fact that we have prohibition is attributable very largely to the war. Bringing Capital and Labor Together.?These two interests have always been antagonistic, but the war served to bring them closer together than ever before. Bringing the rich and poor together, the good derived from this w^ll never be fully realized. The richest and the poorest wore the same clothes, ate the same food, slept in the same tents, suffered alike and fought side by side. They thereby learned to understand each other as never before. Socialism, whether we believe in it or not, has been given a great impetus by the war. And lastly, the fact dawns upon us that this war has caused woman to come into her own at last. During the last two years our women have demonstrated to the world that they are capable of handling men's jobs. They have entered almost every conceivable line of work and have succeeded admirably. Three million women were in the field of actual labor before the signing of the armistice and there were over eight million wage earners. Best of all, the reports from government agents declare that in a great many instances, women did more and better work than the men. /For the first time, they understand national affairs and realize that they, LUU, die UU^CUd \JL and therefore they have obligations to their government, and there is no doubt that within a few years women will have equal rights with men in every respect. With the hearts of our people turned to God, living unselfish lives " and with a sense of duty and obedience to trust, with ignorance no longer a curse in our land, with strong, healthy men and women and clean, sanitary homes, can we doubt that in a way war has been a blessing to our country? It is the old lesson that some must sacrifice and suffer for the common good of mankind. It must be that we needed also to learn that every one should work, economize to help others, condemn and punish immorality and feel that riches and high social position alone do not make"a man.

The war has drawn the men of the nation together, there is no longer any North or South, East or West. Having fought together, we can never again fight each other. We have not only been knitted together as one nation but our boys have honored the spirit of France, appreciated the bull-dog tenacity of the English, and come close to the hearts of the other allied nations. So, as a result of the war, the great Brotherhood or League of Nations will be formed and war shall be no more. At the Psychological Moment. "Father," said the small boy, "what is psychology?"
