Ttidcrc Elbert Gary recently delivered an address bearing upon the war and present conditions in this and foreigin countries, which is worthy the consideration of the American people as a whole, without re gard to party affiliations of any kind. Judge Gary believes that the people of this country are not fully awake to the menace of war and among other things has :his to say: "In addition to what the enemy has constructed and will improve for physical contest, there has been up a system of intrigue, espionage, poisoning of the human' mind, the distribution an ap plication or use of germs of disease and physical impairment. Also agitation tending to discredit and defy the law and to create trouble between employe and employer, and with all this goes the malig nant and unconscionable effort to destroy property and life by fire or poison or other means and to impede and interrupt the wheels of industry. This is increasing and will continue to increase. And the Prus sians have perfected a centralized, com prehensive, powerful business organization which, considering its size and ramifica tions has never been approached. Their program boldly contemplates the subjugation of various nationalities sepa rately, either by force of arms or other means. It is probable that the Russian rev olution and its consequences were planned ,-Vn Germany and have been financed and di eted by German money and brains. She 'is now endeavoring to "Russianize" several other countries. . A war policy which recognizes no God, except by pretence, no law, no justice, no mercy, nothing but the right which brute - force commands has a decided advantage, 'physically, over those whose principles are humane, honorable. Christain. These an tjtheses are represented by opposing mili tary forces of the pending struggle. We are appalled, though we are not stunned by these conditions; our dctcrm ination os unshaken, our teeth arc set. We lave been forced into the war an we arc fighting in self-defense. So far as we are concerned it is a combat between Prussian ism and Amricanisni. between might and right. Considered by themselves, the ex isting conditions are not pleasant; they are dangerous but not desperate: they compel one to fear that Americans are confronted by a long and ruinous war, destructive of life and limb and of mental and moral and physical health, devastation of property and diminution of wealth. This picture of war conditions, as pre sented, is not pleasant to look upon, but it is not exaggerated, and it stares us in the face. We have been slow and stupid or at least indifferent. We have not realized and donot realize the full extent of the dangers that threaten us, and in this respect there is ttlc difference between the citizens of the various parts of the United States or of any locality.

' six LABOR'S ANSWER A universal seven hour day during the period of war, instead of present suspen sion of industries by the fuel administra tion to conserve coal and relieve railroad congestion has been suggested by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Feder ation of Labor. Mr. Gompers speech, which was delivered to the miners in can vention in Indianapolis, is regarded as labor's message to the country, and it is significant that the labor leader prefaced his suggestion with a defense of those in high governmental station, declaring that the officials were prompted by patriotic purposes to win the war and that the trans ition from peace to wai without making some mistakes was impossible. Among other things, Gompers said: "I am going to obey like a soldier of America You have got to be either for autocracy democracy. Labor must make victory sure for democracy." 1m nk Mo'ison, seci.-tary of the Fed eration of Labor was quoted as having said, when interviewed in regard to the drastic fuel order: 'It looks to me as though it was far better for the workers to lose five days wages than freeze to death, and the latter condiion threatens them, if the fuel is not conserved." The five days have passed. The fuel situ ation is improving. It is notable that throughout the five days, when the order closing industries was in effect, that those who were most nearly effected, the labor ing people, were most loyal to the govern ment. President Wilson is and has always has been a friend of the people. Not pretending to what is not sincere and play ing to the galleries, but in that broad sense which has given him insight into their needs, and in so far as is in his power, to act as the representative of those who placed him in the position he occupies with such distinction. The people of the United States, are not unmindful of this. The fact that President Wilson approved Garfield's plan, after a consultation of the president and the secre taries of the army and navy, was sufficient for the people who trusted him. In effect, the people have said: "My country, right or wrong." Whether mis taken or not, the order went forth and was obeyed. And so far, there is no indication of any lasting ill effects. One thing the people of the United States must make up their minds to, and that is in the conduct of this war. mistakes' will be made, for mistakes are made by all na tions. France, England and Italy have made mistakes. Hut fewer mistakes will have been made, when victory has been won, italic people of the United States will be true to the colors. For the men in the field and in the trenches are not the only ones to protect the honor of Old Glory. Xo less does the obligation , rest upon the civilian, whose duty i to obey without question, just as is the duty of the soldier on the battle line. That the people of the United States are prepared to obey, that they are more than willing to do their part, has been evidenced by the loyalty with which they responded to the nation's demand of industry. The people know that the president may be trusted. Where he gives an order, they may depend that back of the order is con sieration for the people as a whole. "As a master of fact, the present issue is above all law. The protection of its citi zens and the preservation of their lives and their health is the first requisite of the government."

In many respects relief of civilian suffering presents graver and more difficult problems than relief of (physical suffering on the battle fronts, for it lurks in tenements, down shaded, narrow, and crooked streets, in country and city, every where, never stalking abroad like its twin evil, but defying discovery, and flourishing in darkness. Of the two relief works, it would be difficult to estimate which is of greater importance. Certainly there is heavy responsibility in both. If for no other than humane motives the torture, the physical agony of war must be stopped. But at the outset nations f the world realized that far greater elements than as suaging pain are involved in rebuild ing the: broken bodies mangled in the war machine.

After such distinguished service in war relief work, helping the wounded back to useful life, it is not strange that the coordinate task should also be entrusted to the Red Cross.
