"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

MEANT TO KNIFE PREMIER.
Youth Arrested Outside of Clemenceau's
Gate.
Paris, May 4.?The youth who was
arrested yesterday outside the home
of Premier Clemenceau has admitted
to the police that he intended to attack
M. Clemenceau with a knife
which he carried. A black flag with
an anarchistic inscription and anarchistic
literature was found in his
possession.

in the army benefited physically
but people all over the country
learned that in order to be healthy
and vigorous they should not coop
themselves up in an office or in steam
heated buildings, but should live
closer to nature, that fresh air and
exercise were their friends. 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.

that taught by comradeship and a
feeling of the common peril of mankind,
the feeling that we must all
stand together. 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.
