VOL. XII No. 46 
To NourisH ANTIPATHIES and secret animosities in 
this country is not right nor in keeping with the true spirit 
of international friendship. Yet it cannot but be ac- 
knowledged that the ideals of Russia, Japan and India 
are not those of the Anglo-Saxon races. The war has 
given the contestants strange companions. In the future 
these nations must be compensated for their labors. Will 
that compensation be conducive to future peace and to 
the development of great humanities of the race? At 
this stage in the great war game it is impossible to make 
even a reasonable forecast. “The removal of Turkey as 
an international power is assured. It may be that this 
will once and for all terminate the possibilities of Armen- 
ian persecutions. This will be a wholesome state of af- 
fairs insofar as this element is involved. Unfortunately 
however, war does not end with the conflict and there will 
be engendered in the spirits of all Germany, England, 
Russia, France and Austria enmities that will not be 
crushed in a century. To this day the Alsatians nourish 
the spirit of the seventies against Germany. Belgium is 
not likely to recover very soon from the terrible blow 
that has already been struck. How can the future be 
viewed in any other way than with apprehension? If 
the war could be terminated now, would it be anything 
more than an armed truce? The history of the begin- 
nings of this war has still to be written. The spirit of 
German militarism must be conquered, but this is an en- 
tirely different feeling from wishing the annihilation of 
the German people. Germany, the land of peace, and its 
people must be spared, only the militaristic spirit must be 
conquered. A terrible war is this and despite the fact 
that the American sympathies are not with the German 
militaristic spirit it is impossible to view the general situa- 
tion in Europe without dismay. The interests of the 
American and English speaking people should be one 
with that of the Teutonic races. The common interes‘s 
in civilization which America, England and Germany en- 
joy are similar as far as culture, training, arts and sciences 
are concerned. From the Teutonic race has come the rich 
and priceless inheritances of the Anglo-Saxon race. It 
is a thounsand pities that the war ever started. ‘The 
treachery of Servia, the oppressions of Russia and the 
oriental spirit of Japan are not agreeable to the Anglo- 
Saxon mind. All that underlies this terrible struggle does 
not lie near the surface. Despite the fact that America 
feels that Germany must be conquered at all costs it is 
with no small degree of apprehension that the Russian 
and Japanese aggressions are noted. 
November 13, I914. 
EvEN THE Boston Mayor’s energy and influence has 
not rescued the Grand Opera experiment. 
Sousa’s BAND gives a benefit for the Wellesley Res- 
toration Fund the afternoon and evening of Tuesday, 
Nov. 17. This is to be given at Symphony Hall, Boston; 
tickets 50c., 75c., and $1.00, are now on sale at the 
box office. The proceeds go direct to the fund. As 
we all know the present need of Wellesley is tremendous. 
The fearful fire of last spring, which left only ragged, 
staring walls, and roofless arches, left not only the ach- — 
ing void in the memories of the thousands of Wellesley 
alumnae who had been housed there, and the necessity of 
new dormitories for the thousands to come, but also 
heavy losses in the apparatus of the departments of 
physics, zoology, geology, psychology. Before Jan. Ist, 
1915, $550,000 must be raised. Here is an opportunity 
for a good time, and to help also, so do not forget the 
Sousa Benefit, Nov. 17. 
CONGRESSMAN GARDNER is altogether reasonable in 
pressing the issue he has raised about American unpre-— 
paredness for war. The peace party in America will 
never be strong. It is possible to be a strong advocate 
of peace and yet favor a larger navy and a better equip- 
ped army. There is a middle ground between a fatal 
militaristic propaganda and a necessary and ‘honorable pre- 
paredness for war. May our land never be afflicted, but 
there is no reason why the nation should slumber and 
sleep the sleep of negligent ignorance. 
In A Lerrer to the Boston Transcript, Mr. H. G. 
Curtis praises the intelligent labors of Mr. William Endi- 
cott for the maintenance of the gold standard when it 
seemed in jeopardy. Mr. Endicott believed in the gold 
standard in trade and in life; but Mr. Endicott’s friends 
will long remember him for his solid gold standard of 
worth that characterized his every activity. By the death 
of Mr. Endicott the North Shore loses a citizen it can ill 
afford to spare. 
Wit, PEAcE Ever Come to us across our Southern 
border? Mexico is an incorrigible child. There are those 
who claim that the United States is conquering Mexico 
by “peaceful penetration.” This form of aggression con- 
sists in making heavy investments and later demanding 
protection. The United States can ill afford to be found 
guilty of such treachery. The integrity of Mexico must 
and will be maintained. 
te rane SES 
THE ENTRANCE OF TuRKEY into the European War 
will probably end its career as an independent nation and 
Russia will have acquired the City of Constantinople, 
which nature destined to be the capitol of that vast 
empire. 
A PERUSAL OF THE NARRATIVE of the Italian cam- 
paigns of Napoleon would convince one that these were 
trifling adventures compared with the atrocities of the 
European War. 
On Aucust ONE, it was quite evident that the map 
of Europe would be changed, but now it is the map of 
the world that is being reconstructed. 
THE WoMAN’s SUFFRAGE propaganda seems to be 
successful in the west, however the conservatism of Mass- 
achuetts may object, 
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY is wisely welcoming the 
members of the progressive party back to the fold. 
Tue Assurpity of the red flag law is quite apparent.
