VICTOR HUGO'S VISION
Victor Hugo, one of the -world's
srreatest authors, writing in the
earlier years of the nineteenth cen
tury, voiced this appeal to the greit
nations of the earth and pictured a
vision of peace thM many Relieve
will he realized at the close of the
,'resent great conflict:
"A day will come when you.
France; you, Russia; you Italy; you
England; you, Germany; all you na
t ions of the continent, shall, withou
losin? your distinctive qualities and
>our elorious individuality, blend in
a higher uuity, and form a Europea
fraternity, even as Normandy, Brit
tany. Burgundy, Lorraine, Alsace,
all the French provinces, blended
into France. A day will come when
war shall seem as Impossible be
tween Paris and London, between
St. Petersburg and Berlin, as . be
tween Rouen and Amiens, between
!tcston and Philadelphia.
"A day will come when bullets
;:ud bombs shall be replaced by
Allots, by the universal suffrage j
of the people, by tjie sacred arbitra
ment of the great sovereign senate,
which shall be to Europe what the
r>arliameut is to England, what the
diet is to Germany, what the legis
lative assembly is to France. A day
will come jvhen a cannon shall be

Portland Telegram: rKom the lit-I

word cf wisdom touching the amaz- '
h.g difference between practice and
ideality in the development of the
clij as a municipal liome. A Kan

of Kansas City, delUered an ad
dress before the Mothers' club of
paola on the subj o: municipal
housekeeping; and the views he
represented are so r.-freshingly out

where we can show palatial homea

the standard of our practice that is

to show the other half—the back
yard of the city—the places whero
the people of least revenue live; the
places that develop in too rapid
growth during which th$ business of
acquiring dollars has driven nearly
all else out of mind—the alums, the
tenements, the resorts of vice. Ev
ery city begins without these, and
there is the dawning belief that
cities may grow without them anl
with a net result in substantial

realized.
1 ported by All Citizens
of the Nation
By JOSEPHUS DANIELS, Secretary
of the United States Navy
RESIDENT WILSON is meas
uring up to the standard of
Washington in hi3 efforts to
keep the United States from becom
ing enmeshed in the present war.
I call upon all citizens of the na
tion to give him all the support in
their power, unsparingly, during
this crisis.
Lately I have trembled when I
h;tve seen every other nation lose
its head because it did not possess
divine patience and patriotism nec
e-sary in such a crisis. We are the
onlv great power at peace. Pray
God we may remain so.

War Has Little Effect on
By Profesjor JEREMIAH W. JENKS,
New York University
CONTRARY to the general
• opinion that the war ha*
greatly curtailed all immigra
tion to this country, while at the
Millie time increasing the number
of those returning to their home
countries, recent immigration fig
ures taken in groups tell very dif
ferent stories.
Considering the- two great dis
turbing factors this year, the war
and the industrial depression, these
figures give striking testimony of
the permanency and persistency of
our immigration from these north
ern and western European coun
tries and at the same time show
that these immigrants on the whole
come here with the. intention to re
main and to work and that finally
they nuike their homes among us.
NEITHER THE WAR NOR THE
PRESENT HARDSHIPS OF UNEM
PLOYMENT HAVE PREVENTED
THEM FROM COMING. NOR HAVE
THESE INFLUENCES OPERATED
GREATLY TO PULL OR TO DRIVE
Immigration From
THEM AWAY.
