ALL NEUTRALS LOSK
Lovers of peace have made much I
o£ the effect which the mo9t terriblej
of all ware must have upon the feel
ings of the world in regard to the
horrors of the battlefield, says Hie
Cleveland Leader. They have dvve.t
hopefully upon the shock which civ
ilized nations have experienced by
coming face to face with the
savagery and agonies of the great
conflict. In these conditions they
have found strong reasons for bo
lieviug that the fearful struggle In
progress may go far toward pre
venting wars all the years to coma.
Another very important effect of
the tremendous death grapple be
tween nations armed and efiuip^ed
as nations never were before, Is of
ten overlooked by advocates of
peace. They miss the full signifi
cance of the losses which the
war has brought upon all neucral
countries. They have failed to
emphasize as they might the force
of the object lesson taught nations
which feel secure against attack
from mut Quarter.
There were many In all lands
who believed, before the prawat
struggle began, that war would
make good times in neutral coun
tries. They felt sure that if two
nations or ten plunged into a bitter
conflict other states standing safely
aloof would find their trade In
creased and their industries stimu
lated.
Now all that is changed. It is
realized everywhere that neutral
countries are losing by the war in
stead of gaining. It is perceived
that peace would be better for the
world and for every nation in it.
ureat or small, near the scene of
conflict or far removed. It is un
derstood that the best which (.an
be hoped for as the result of the
war, in neutral states, is that its
inevitable losses may be offset, in
large measure, by its gains.
In the Unifed States, as the .o.-e
most of the neutral countries, it is
too plain to be doubted now that
the war has been a great misfor
tune. All that is hoped for here is
to reduce its ills to the minimum
and obtain as much benefit as pos
sible from its abnormal conditions
to offset its waste and its obstruc
tion of trade and industry. Busi
ness men in America are not dis
couraged by the war. They do not
fear that it will prevent the growth
and prosperity of the United States.
They are planning largely for the
widest possible utilization of its
unusual opportunities. But they
are not blind to the fact that peace
would improve the prospects of I
American business and promote the :
industrial and commercial expan
sion of the country.
The neutral countries closest to'
the theater of the war—Holland,
Denmark, Switzerland, Norway,
Sweden, Italy, Greece and the rest
—all feel keenly the evil effects of
the vast struggle. Their traffic is
interfered with, their industries
demoralized. They are subjected
to unusual expenses and burdens
and their income is diminished. It
is an effect of the war which is uni
versal.
This object lesson, on an un
precedented scale, will do much to
turn the world more strongly than
ever before against war, and it will
lead to more vigorous and hopeful
efforts to maintain the International
amity which gives progress and
prosperity their beet opportunity.
It is a force on the side of perma
nent peace the power of which will
be better understood the longer the
war goes on. It makes its appeal
not to sentiment and love of hu
manity but to the alwayB active and
always potent Belf-interest of all
nations.
HER FIRST KISS
Three years It lingered in her |
memory, as vividly as if only'
a moment had iat#rr»ned. The;
third anniversary found her miser
able. She had eadured an evening
at the moving pictures. She was
afflicted with a be.iatly cold, to say
nothing of being married to an
other. Yet the memory of her first
kUs—at least, we may take ic, ner
firet real beau kiss—siill palpitated
iu her inner consciousness. Let us
turn once more to the feeling
words, the wealtn of poetic con
notation, wherein sue set foriii tue
sweet event of three long years
before:
"l'ou were going. It was midnight
and the clock in the churcn had al
ready struck. You lingered and 1
Dlayed with the doorknob, wonder
ing why you didn't go. You fisned 4
your raincoat pocket and pulled oui.
t'our caramels. They might have
been gold, you were so careful. The
suddenly you bent over me. Then
the kiss came. It took my Jjreath,
but from that moment, if 1 had fol
lowed my own heart, I would have
bten near you. 1 did wrong you—
though myself more. Goodnight."
l>oes it seem sacrilege, tuis pry
iug into virginal emotions confideu
to the dumb discretion of a diary
with no thought of the daywhen
they should be referred to ill a
divorce court as exmDit a: so :o
any sort of vivisection a little in
trusive, but look at the public
benefit they claim for it. Is not
the information worth the com
punction? Should not this authen
tic history of a first kiss be seized
and expiated for the instruction
there is in it?
Prom the instant of the ravishing
impact she loved him. Note that.
From that moment her heart bade
her follow him, be near him, cliug
to him forevermore. This is some
thing for a youth to remember
when the clock in the steeple strikes
twelve, when the girl plays with
the doorknob, when something
prompts him to salute the flag.
What if it should be her first? is
he prepared to have her near him
in all his down-sittings and up
standings, have her turu not back
from following after him all the
days of his life? True, the girl of
the diary married another. But
how stop at a time like that and
require the girl to promise she will
not follow her own heart?
One phase of this interesting case
resists analysis. Cannot some ex
pert in small college erotics con
tribute an opinion as to the signifi
cance of the confectionery an(i
whether the girl got the caramels?
JOYS OF LABOR.
Thank God every morning when
you get up that you have something
to do that day which must be done
whether you like to do it or not.
Being forced to work and forced to
do your best a! your work will
breed in you a hundred v:rtues
which the idle never know.—
