It may mark a turning point in human affair or it may go on record as one of the last failures to stave off the disasters and destruction that gather about our race. In Aufu.t, lull, an age of insecure progress and accumulation enme to an end. When at last, on the most momentous summer night in history, the Innf I preparations of militarism burst their bounds and the little llelgian Clrage Via went up in flames, men said: "This is a catastrophe." Hut thy found It hard to anticipate the nuture of the catastrophe. They thought for the most part of the wounds and killing and burning nf war and Imagined that when at last the war was over we should count our losses and go on again much as did before vni A well might a little shopkeeper murder his wife In the night and expert to carry on "businewi as usual" in the morning. "Ilusiness as usual" that was the ratcbwnrd in in liUj of all the catchwords of the world it carries i now the heaviest charge of irony.

The catastrophe of ll'll Is still going on. It does not end: It increases and spreads. ins winter more people will suffer dreadful things and more people will die Untimely through the clash of 1014 than suffered and died in the first year of i the war. It is true that the social collapse of Kussia in 1U17 and the exhaustion of food mnl munitions in Central Luro; in 1119 produced a sort of degradation iand enfeehleuienf nf the mmhnlanr efforts nf our race and that a futile conference at Yersuilles settled nothing, with an air of settling everything, but that was no more an end tn disaster than it would he if a man who was standing up and re-, I reiving horrible wounds were to fall down and writhe and bleed in the dust. It I would be merely a new phase of disaster.

Among the earliest suggeslion of a kite for the greater university was that of the Oak Hill Country Club, a silo of treat natural lieuuty anil one easily ae-cefsible from the rity. Several, other possible ites were mentioned from time to time. Yesterday's announcement, which followed a meeting of the Hoard nf Trustee of the university, was the first orlii ial statement from the aiilhorilli'S. When menliou miule of the Oak Hill grounds it wan agreed on all sides that tin' university rould nut obtain a inure beaiiliful site, but there some talk that the Country Club property, which consist of approximately eighty across, would not permit of sullicicnt expansion in the future.

Chief among these injuries is ibe progressive economic breakdown, the nisgui-, Hide of which we are only beginning to apprehend. The breakdown is a. real 1 decay that spreads and spreads, in a time of universal shortage there is un in-j creasing paralysis In production; and there is a pariilj sis of production because the monetary system of the world, which was sustained by the honest co-oprnilioii of governments, is breaking down. The fluctuations in the real vslue of nmney become greater and greater and they shake ami shatter the entire fabric of sociul co-opera-j tloll. our civilization is, materially, a cash and credit system, dependent on nieu's confidence in the value of money.

Hut now money fails us and clients us; we work i for wages and they give us uncertain paper. Xo one now dare mnke contracts ahead; no one can fix up a stable wage agreement; no on knows what one hun- dred dollars or franc or pounds will mean in two years' lime. What is the good nf saving?
