' M. Beck.
By JAMES M. BECK,
Author of "The Evidence In the Ca«e."
Some weeks ago it was my privilege
to make a trip to the middle West at
the Invitation of patriotic societies in
Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chica
go, and St. Paul. In each of these
cities I addressed large and represent
ative meetings on the issues of the
war. Pour of these cities had an ex
ceptionally large population of foreign
birth or immediate ancestry, that of
Cleveland alone aggregating, as I was
informed, "5 per cent of its whole pop
ulation.
As one who from the beginning of
the war earnestly advocated the par
ticipation of the United States in the
world war In defense of the basic
rights of civilization, I naturally looked
with great interest to the nature of
the response which I might receive
from audiences gathered, in most cases
by public invitation, to hear a discus
sion of these Issues.
If there Is any apathy in the middle
West, these audiences gave no indi
cation of it.
So far as my experience and obser
vation in those cities Justifies any
opinion—and I appreciate how dan
gerous such generalizations are—I
found a loyal aud ungrudging inten
tion on the part of all classes ofcj
American citizens to support their
country and its president in this most
righteous war.
It was especially gratifying to sec
how the best of the American youth
had arisen with vigor and enthusiasm
to President Wilson's Inspiring call to
arms.
Much to Be Done. , I
Nevertheless there Is much to be
done If the Interest Is to be maintained
and America is to play a large and
nolile part In the greatest of all wars.
There are many ways of developing
this interest, but I know of none that
Is so well adapted to Its object as the
plan proposed by Dr. Ellery C. Stowell,
the distinguished historian of Colum
bia college, who some months ago
commenced to develop a patriotic serv
ice leaguf* in his own congressional
district. The principal object of this
league was to give the civilian an op»
pott unity to support at home the work
of his soldiers in the field, and the
results which followed Doctor Stow
ell's movement In his own congression
al district (the nineteenth of New
York) were so gratifying that a simi
lar local organization was commenced
in the seventeenth district, and the or
ganization has already made an excel
lent beginning.
It seems very desirable that in ev
ery congressional district there should
be such a patriotic service league, com
posed of its best citizens, who will
unite to promote the objects of the
war, to secure enlistments, to Interest
the masses in America's vital stake in
the war. to combat sedition, to In
crease subscriptions to governmental
loans and the Red Cross, and in all
other possible ways to support the
armies of America In the field.
War in its actual operations has be
come a matter of mechanics, vhemls- J
try, and industrial organization, but j
fundamentally it remains, as it has!
always been, a question of psychology, j
No nation ever conducted a great war
to a successful conclusion unless its j
heart was In it. For this reason a
very serious work remains to be done I
in this country, and that is to inter-!
est the American people, as individu
als, in the causes and Issues of this j
titanic contest and its supreme im
portance to the future of the United
States.
Not All United In '76.
A somewhat similar condition ex
isted when our Kepubllc was founded.
The great problem was to Interest the
people of the colonies In the struggle.!
That struggle has become such an epic
that we are apt to think that all Amer
icans had equal zeal In defending the
constitutional rights of the colonies.
The fact unfortunately was to the con
trary. Johu Adams, long after the
revolution had been brought to a suc
cessful conclusion, estimated that at
the beginning qf the struggle one-third
of the colonists wanted Independence,
about one-third were very much op
posed to It, and about one-third were
in a state of opportunist expectancy,
waiting to see on which side the bal
ance would fall. While Adams was
something of a chronic faultfinder and
may have exaggerated, yet at the be
ginning of the revolution our people
were no more of one mind than they
are now.
The great patriots of the revolution,
men like Jefferson and Washington and
Franklin, formed what they called
"Committees of Correspondence" In ev
ery different locality and thus they co
ordinated the work of different local
ities and, as the crisis developed, there
passed from community to community,
through these committees of corre
spondence, the Intelligence as to what
was expected what would be
q'&rod, tad as a result, when General
Gage marched upon Lexington and
Ooneord, 16,000 minute men moblllze<l
at the gates of Bostot within 48 hours,
an nmaiing fact, when one thinks of
the limited population at that time.
It was the work 6f the committees .
of correspondence. The committees
organized each locality, appealing to
the man at his trome, and thus a pa
triotic sentiment was developed which
made of this country a great and In
dependent nation. -And so powerfully
did this Impress ttself upon the mas
ter mind of Thomas Jefferson that
when he was dying on the fiftieth an
niversary 'of the Declaration of Inde
pendence he- seemed again to remem
ber' those days of stress :and trial at
the beginning of the revolution, and
was heard to cry In hla delirium ex
citedly, "Warn the committees; warn
the committees!"
i People Must KnswJseues.
We Will not make full progress In
this war until we can hring home to
the people to their very hearthstones,
tliut not only le this as vital a contest
as any that America was ever en
Kaged In, but: that Is one that affects
the happiness, prosperity, .and the hon
or of the American -people.
Remember the fine lines of the no
blest hymn ever written for any na
tion In the hour of battle—I mean
Julia Ward Howe's Battle Hymn of
the Republic, and nothing In any liter
ature has a more martial movement
than that most stirring "of all battle
hymns:
He has sounded forth the trumpet that
shall never call retreat.
He Is sifting out the heart* of men before
His Judgment Mat,
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him, be
Jubilant, my feet.
Our Ood Is march!on.
Is our soul swift to answer our
country's call? Are our feet Jubilant
to enter Into this contest? If not,
then the nation Is In peril. This war
will not be a matter of months, and
sooner or later the mere patriotic sub
mission to a political action of a gov
ernment will spend Its force. A people
must have a definite enthusiasm if it
Is to five the best blood of its youth
to"any "cauSfc. 1'ou will not nna rmit
spirit until you reach the Individual
American and teach him that he has
a vital and personal Interest in this
particular war.
Rule of Force Must Go.
Our people must be brought to real
ize vitally and practically that this
war Involves the sacred principle of
righteousness in International affairs,
the rule of reason in the common
wealth of nations, and that unless this
be vindicated by a peace with victory,
all talk of the pacification of humanity,
whether by The Hague tribunal or
paper treaties or leagues of peace or
In any other way you please, is ail
rainbow phantasy and moonshine. Un
less there can be first established the
great principle of right and reason
the principle of law dominating sover
eign nations, a liberal civilization will
perish from the earth. When Ger
many and Austria attempted to crush
Serbia without rhyme or reason, with
out opportunity for discussion. Great
Britain, France, and Russia said, "Let
us reason about It," and Germany said
"No!" "Then give us a little time."
"No!" "Then let us have a confer
ence." "No!" "Then let us have ar
bitration." "No!" "Let us have me
diation." "No!" "Let us discuss It
In any way you please, by any expe
dient you may select; you can have
Belgrade and occupy it as a hostage,
but for God's sake do not spill the best
blood of the world needlessly. Ger
many and Austria said, "No! You
will do our will or you will have a
universal war!"
If that principle of force as the
ultima ratio Is to prevail, the world
will go back centuries, even to the
cave dwellers; because, If you go back
even twenty centuries, the law of Rome
hud at least something of justice and
of the obligations of law In its main
tenance of the world's peace; whereas
in this case you have u brutal and
primitive negation of any principle of
right or wrong, you have simple the
assertion that might, and might alone,
shall govern the affairs of men.
Moat Sacred Cause.
There . never, .was .a. more sacred
cause' fougHTTtfr'Tinifce th5' Won<TT>e
gan than that for which France and
Great Britain and their allies have
hitherto so freely given the best blood
of their youth. »
I do not want to live in this world It
this world is to be dominated by bru
tal force. Whatever optimism I might
have had three months ago I have not
In the same measure now. I think
the issue of this titanic conflict is very
doubtful. It Is a life-and-death grap
ple between the two great powers of
right and might; but I want to say nd
vlsedly and deliberately that if I saw
clearly that the cause of the allies was
going down to. defeat, that we were
to be Involved in that defeat, that we
were to suffer Its grievous and burden
some penalties, I would yet thank God
that the United States went into the
war and fell and suffered with the
righteous rather than it should re
main neutral and profit by other peo
ple's sufferings. I have no regret that
we entered into this war. There was
only one thing for a proud and self
respecting nation to do; and I rejoice
that America, with all her many disad
vantages with respect to her hetero
geneous population, its diversified—
geographically speaking—conditions,
has had the soul to accept her share
of the burdens of a distracted civili
zation.
To recur to my thesis, let a patri
otic service league, under •whatever
name, be formed in every district, and
then let the cry be, "Warn the com
ulttees," for now, as in the past,
"Eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty."
