The Poisoned
Dove
By Richard Washburn Child
I I came buck from China and Japan 1
a few months ago. A reporter on the
pier In San Francisco said, "What do |
they think In the far East about when
the war will end?"
That was the first expression about
the war heard by an American return
ing to his native country and aching
to know what Americans at home had
been thinking, plunnlng, doing, how
we were expressing our manhood and
womanhood, whether we would soon
flud a way to mobilize America and
throw the giant force of her against
the menace of men.
I heard this query with a sickened
spirit. The reporter would never have
asked the question unless In behalf of
the readers of his paper. Could this
represent the spirit of the people—
the spirit of America?
I had heard the same question In
England back in the days when the
Zeppelins had Just begun to come over
London with the slogan "Women and
children first."
"Over there," however, they learned
long ago of the folly of living dally life
with the sound of this question In their
ears. They have learned that Insid
iously, quietly. Imperceptibly, the per
sistent tap, tap, tap of this little ques
tion weakens the cause, turns the edge
of determination, enters the subcon
scious mlud like a slow disease drain
ing off lighting spirit, mahhood, and
the dnsh and power of the one purpose,
and beats upon that which should be
the uubreakuble will of people who
must win.
Mor« Dangerous Mere.
For America, tills question haunting
the minds of Its citizens Is more dan
gerous than It was "over there." Our
soft prosperity, our distance from the
struggle, tempts weak men to cling to
the comforts of peace. We have not
felt the gaff of war. Not yet have we
learned the pain of that full deep
thrust of regret that when democracy
called for us, we, the pioneers of lib
erty, asked why and how and when—
but, at first, did not come. We have
not learned even the prelude of that
day when the war will have seized
upon and wrung our hearts, when the
ghosts of our men come back to sit In
the farmhouse kitchen or in the leather
chairs of the club, to click the latches
of village gates, and march In Invisible
brigades up the asphalted avenues.
So the flabby men aqd women among
us still go on asking la that voice of
childish eagerness, "How long will the
war last?"
And the selfish retailer, trader, or
financier, fat with gain and ease or
lean with avarice, thinking of the ef
fect of peace upon the market, asks,
"What would be your guess about the
end of the war?"
And even the thoughtless and the
Ignorant and empty-headed, who would
otherwise say, "Is this hot enough for
you?" or "Do you think It's going to
snow?" say now, "Well, when will the
war end?"
The Two Types.
Test the spirit of these Questions by
the two types—those who ask them
and those who do not. Which is the
type of person whom you would trust
for character, courage, and sense, for
unflinching determination when some
thing has been begun, to "see it
through ?"
I remember leaving Kitchener's of
fice In London to visit the recruiting
at Scotland Yard. Six feet four inches
and 250 pounds of retired British army
veteran, hardened, reddened, grizzled,
was my escort. That was in 1915.
"There's too much wondering when
the war will end," said he. "My three
boys have gone."
"To France?" said I, misunder
standing.
"To rest," he said, straightening.
"Killed In action. Perhaps 'tis that
which makes me squirm when I hear
any Britisher guessing about the end
of the war. My good sense would tell
me anyway. If you see two men fight
ing, would you put a bet on him who
was wondering when It would be
over?"
"No."
"Nor L When they ask me when
the war will end, I say, 'Something
like a year or two after the Prussians
think It time to stop.'"
For a contest between two men, two
football teams, two nations, or two
great alliances struggling in the great
est war of all, over the greatest Issue
of all, there can be no other doctrine.
When John Paul Jones' antagonists
asked him if he was ready to stop
fighting and he answered that he had
not begun to tight, it was not John
Paul Jones but his enemy who was
wondering "when It would be over."
No man, no woman who contributes
even by innocent, thoughtless mouth
ing to a mental attitude expressed In
wondering when the war will be over
Is fulfilling the obligation of Americans
to go straight and hard and together
for the one united, persistent purpose
to which the Cnlted States has dedi
cated our strength. A Job is to be
done. A job is to be finished.
Dangling Peace a* Bait
Germany will be glad at any moment
to divert us from the Idea that the Job
Is to be finished, when in our Judg
ment it is finished, and attract us as
much as possible to the Idea that our
Job will be finished some place short
of that by dangling peace as bait for
cowards and fools.
Here in Washington this policy of
■iTinnny is understood. It Is the
orimer lesson in an analysis of Ger
many's policies.
The state department knows well
enough that Germany has tried unsucc
essfully endless moves to make peace
i decoy—to create a morbid appetite
among the peoples who have been try- 1
Ing to make democracy safe—an appe
tite for rest, for an end of deprivation,
loss, suffering, for relief from stress,
Tor a temporary comfort bought at the
price of principle—the principle of fin
ishing the Job.
The secret service of the allied
i-ountrles know well enough that mil
lions of German money has been spent
to make Americans talk and think not
it the Job to be finished but of peace.
Some day there will be exposed, In
all Its extent, the systematic, elaborate
methods which Germany has nsed in
an endeavor to poison the opinion of
neutral countries and plant among the
weaker and more gulllNe citizens of
those countries fighting to rid the
tvorld forever of war and the tyranny
of militarism the weed of premature
peace. It has been Germany's purpose
to choke the crop of courage and steal
the nourishment away from deter
mination.
Trail Is Found Everywhere.
The trail of this well-organixed at
tempt can be found everywhere.
In Russia, back In the days of the
czar. Industrial leader* of Petrograd
and Moscow who came In contact with
workmen, bureaucrats in the offices of
government, and officers at the staff
headquarters of the Russian army at
Mohlleff, who came In contact with
soldiers recruited from various parts
of the empire, told me that one of the
well-defined purposes and special ef-'
forts of German agents was to stimu
late among the Industrial and laboring
Masses in Russia thoughts of peace, of
the comforts, the relief, and the hope
of peace, all of which would serve to
eat like a rot into the hearts of the
people, tolling them away from the
will to fight and the will to make a
3nal peace upon sound principle only,
and only when the Job had been fin
ished.
"Men will not fight hard when there
Is peace fully" bShCKT" rae trencnes,
Qeneral Alexieff said. And he ex
pressed also almost the Identical Idea
expressed to me by the retired Brit
ish petty officer who took me to Scot
land Yard, when the latter said, "If
fou see two men fighting, would you
bet on the one who was wondering
when It would be over?"
8hculd Learn From Experience.
The experience of other countries
and our own experience with the desire
of Germany that her enemies shall
think, talk, and wonder about the com
ing of peace, ought to be enough for
US.
Any contribution made by any Amer
ican cltlren to aid this purpose of Ger
many la an act which compares with
a soldier at the front who turns his
face to the rear.
Such a contribution may be actually
traitorous. There are still constant In
stances of treason among those per
sons who stimulate peace talk with full
knowledge that they are aiding and
abetting the enemy.
Such a contribution may be morally
rotten. There are those who talk
peace because peace to their warped
souls is dearer than the end for which
we have entered the war.
Such a contribution may come from
flabby sentimentality. There are still
men and women who can only think of
the horrors of this war Instead of the
greater horrors of other wars which
are sure to come If we do not now
make the menace of Prussian plotting
and militarism Impossible for the ages
and generations of the future.
Such a contribution may be the re
sult of a love of the sensational. There
are still individuals and even news
papers who seek to attract attention
by pretending that they have advance
information of the coming of peace.
Such a contribution may be igno
rant There are still Individuals so
benighted that the cause of America Is
not clear and real In their minds.
They fall to understand that America
has entered this war to make democ
racy safe; to guarantee small nations
the right of freedom from ruthless con
guest; to crush the doctrine that the
choice of develooment of each human
being must 1>e wTesceil*£wa$"?r<JHnnm
or from her and put in a dominant
and autocratic machine of government.
Falling to understand the nofeillty of
our purpose, they endure the war pas
sively and prick up their ears at any
word of rumor which concerns the end
of the war.
Such a contribution may be merely
sloppy. There are those who forget,
who do not think, who lapse Into lasy
nothingness, and as yet far away from
the bite of war, ask each other, "Well,
when will the war end?"
Comforters of Enemy.
Consciously und unconsciously thene
are all comforters of the enemy.
Upon them and upon their traitor
ous or las attitude of mind, Germany
depends. She leans upon all "peace
josslpers."
Germany has no need to fear a na
tion Interested In peace and always
talking and wondering about peace.
She may well fear when every last
man and woman of us has no Interest
aigher, more constant, and more single
af purpose than that of finishing the
|ob.
Wliile she believes she can hood
wink Americans, she will release over
and over again, by petty secret agen
cies, and by great diplomatic plays for
the galleries, her peace poisons.
Only when the Job is finished, how
ever, can we be Interested in peace or
peace talk.
The dove of peace that anyone see*
lying before that time is German
stuffed and loaded With Prussian
poison.
