That is what America can only find out when the great test comes when the moment arrives at which the lighting posses the mark where the wrong may he righted where the feud Is won and faces going on to destroy and forever still the Thing that caused It In the mighty moving events of this astounding day America may And the answer France I taly Russia Three things stand out in undeniable relief frum the storm and hurricane of the lest fortnight Italy that went to war late and frankly to recapture the booty wrenched from her hands by an ancient enemy has suffered the greatest reverse to come to any power since the war began Trieste and the Irredentla ere worth only so much Italy need not be expected to bid beyond their value In men money and war losses Italy fights only and solely for a local Issue and an ancient hatred Except that she Is the more certainly aggrieved she fights for much the same reason as Austria-Hungary or Bulgaria And Italy Is not only Intensely and thoroughly continental European she Is also Latin The hot fire of the heart flame high but it also can die down quickly while the mind Is shrewd and Inclined to bargain Russia drift a For Immediate dedal one she must be taken care of rather than expeat ed to cut any figure Is the great action Without helmsman rudderless and uncaring the newest democracy rolls along with a tide she neither understands controls or oares about Russia has hurried Into an Inevitable phase of her evolution as a democracy complete tor a people fitted for It only by elaw and certain degrees Incidentally she may occasionally help in little local thla-and-thats may be of valuable aid perhaps but nothing about her Is certain Every plan must go on without considering her In the war at all Italy and Russia sound International poltoy dlo-tstes an alternative course ever ready which Includes them not at all Should Austria suddenly offer Italy all her territorial claims we could not hope that Italy would stay In She entered the war for them and them only Russia Is already nearly enough entirely ooit that though we still have ground for a sturdy hope the time has pasned when we may figure 011 certainty anywhere east of the Lithuanian and Polish frontlera Now what of Fran re? France Is constant glorious noble and of our own civilization and already has earned many times whatever of International safety equity or reparation for her this war's end may afford Rut after all what Is France fighting for? tt that the world may be made safe for democracy because any world that Is not safe for democracy is not safe for France or Is it that the Germans may he taught the French border can and will be so stubbornly defended It will never pay to assail lesson already taught anrl now a Italy fought from the first that the conquered province may he brought hack home again? How much more then that Is France fighting for? to date we have accepted France aa in to the end fighting for the same thing we cunt in to secure to crush a civilization that would stamp out and destroy that In the Joint civilization enjoyed by England America and herself those political and fi-rsnmil liberties that while they were prized In three such great countries held a barrier across the path to German ambitions and the Prussian goal But an illuminating incident has just come to light Ye learn that Yon Buelow in Berne made eare proposal to Bnand of France that this pro- l--al indi 'sited Germany would restore Belgium f-flj would rd" Alsace-Lorraine hack to France -in-1 imprwc herself at the expense of Russia 1 in- if is-iDi-cle bargain Briand took it 10 It'ho: tu-l 1 1- -i-v-jed st "trap" It was not even t- the '-abinrt of France For i-p i-Ji -ting sii -'i F'lggchtiiin both Briand and Ri ht ar '-ut of th- Fr-n-h government That 1 not -njeiiire or rm--i--it I fact And it writes In I Her if -old for 11 that fYanre will take a sei-t peaie ihat will materially and m- re- uinpens- or rather that there I I From the YTiirago Herald enough of that in France to unseat The l'nitcd over Teutonic Pt-l ent It lias no desire however to Interfere with prerm who jud not consider making such German' right to her peculiar style of kultur The One Sure Constancy I In to in hi- I now Will In- hiijiilf-iHl The Knglinli Imvo iiPvi-r yet im-rc-iil il world situi'ilon mid they never wiw ilmi-" i lcirly or inure nlriiighlly thmi they -lo now They know ils we are ftikt ruining to know Hint ltd wsr lii-s re-oilx eil Itself inviisilily in 1 the eetlleincnt of III" lmpLu-nLlo ifi-iie lictweiui llic Aiiirln-Siizuii ind the Toutoii lielHi-'-n the 11- rii-der lii-eeri holding half a world 111 liud-glvfii cmiy nod wf-h-iiinf-d ward and rim lilunda men from up Mo who would culT 11 world Inio clnilns mnl He liherly in aliio-klra to Hie fliirlot wheel of 1 now AUlla who i-ullu hlmHolf a Ciir-wir Th" An-Blo-Snxon nu-fi ha found II deHtlny in niukiiiK tin-wiimIo jilaoi-i bloom mnl In the ward end earn of li-ssf-i- tv akoj- peoiile under si Horles of kindly uul very wino proteclnrales Ki -ft land Iiilm girdled tin-w-nrhl bringing generally henidlcoiice -iml JiinHcs with her flag America ha hulldcu on top of that and held i lirni find klnrlly hand on Iraarr people anrl hnlpleas governnu-nt-f in Fiibaj rind the Philippines And neither T-lnglond or Anierli-a dare give up Iheae wanls lo the Kultur of I a Teuton to the Iron selflahnes and efficient rru-! eilv nf a group of world rnaater iHfaaer people cannot le turned loose In the world to go It alonp The wolic arc 1111 about As long aa the Anglo -Saxon race and the Anglo-Saxon civilization through the two great English speaking nations of England nnd America exlid largely the treasure house of the world are barred to the Teuton vandal And a long as the Teuton vnndnl is strong and rules the seventy million million Hermans Just so long inuRt the treasure houses of earth lie guarded nnd held That's why tlda la Armageddon The Herman armies today are the supreme challenge to the English-speaking civilization of tho earth to tear it down and set up again on this earth the doctrine that might i right and to the strong and criminally hold helung the spoils And this quarrel la our quarrel It a nut of Europe at all It Is of the people who have taken to themsplves from that little Island off the coast of Handers dominion and glory over a mighty western world on th ono side and on the other the strongest and most medieval of the peoples of Europe of the very terror of Europe Itself France and they have big stake In It hut they are local they are incidental Russia has a problem and an evolution almost as great within herself as the destiny of the rival civilizations The trunk of this titanic Issue Is the will and spirit and commitment of the Anglo-Saxon people Britain and America to rout out and destroy this Thing that demonstrates the Germany of today that our own civilization and our own hardly won and dearly prized Institutions may live And to do that carry through to the very gates of Potsdam and the throne of the Hohenzollem Itself And that parting of the curtains of that temple will be hailed In any tongue but English remains to be seen Perhaps not not otherwise irnllieil this iv'per eni nisn llir local tirna puMnel Inn In All lUliin nf 1 lli -'A Inn of rpwuJ tlmpm chen ennliineU uit kino rerervnil MORE OTHERWISE THAN WISE TMK 1-11 'Kill IlilS Tim Smitherti lfis cn' kIamik ft-ir Hetween the llillrnn iiel llir ilulf ufiir: 1 WaU-ll the 1 1b I'll fri'111 llie Inlle li'il' Ami ipie iictiss I lie A ana nn whirlt a 1miniifl nniini'ln fln Hboer lldrr nn'i'eil liiimlreil Islitils plnv Where lira tin sky I'nvr III drip1- brlow A sleulnw bills mi nv ltan heaven 1n evanpi'ls I Aa in the prniibers Leaven nernss I sky?
