Had Greece declared war on Turkey and joined in the operations along the Aegean-as her most far-sighted statesman desired-she might have made good her claim to the city and province of Smyrna, in which the Greek population is the largest element. But Greece. and the Allies can hardly be expected to assist in desire for expansion.

THE GERMAN PERIL
llerhzips never before in the history ot` tlte world has
hunian indignation found such voice as it has in connec- tioti with the sinking of the Ltisitnnia. Records of slaugh- ter unptiritlleled on the battlt-fit-ld have been read with dis-passioiitite regret; the loss of hattlt'-ships with their huudrt-ds of lives has been taken tis n ligitimate iiicideiit of wtir, littt the Lusitanitt criint- stantls out alont- without :t,par:tllcl. lt was murder, cold blooded, deliberate preinediatctl murder without a single excuse, without any military advantage. This crinie follows a series of out- rages which have doxte much to make the world regard Germany as returning to barbarism. Scorn of the nett- trality of Belgium, use of asphyxiating gases in Europe, poisoning ol' wells t'or man atid beast in Africa, months of submarine warfare, with ittter disregard of the obliga- tions of the nation, followed by the sinking in a few mintites of one of the finest passenger steamers afloat, with a terrible loss of lii'e. this succession of events is sure to have its effect upon the attitude of the people of the worltl toward the perpetrators of such a policy. lf there has ever been such a thing :ts the progress of mankind tip- ward from barbttrisnt, if there has been such it thing as the growth of humanity, it' there has been any truth in the t‘hristinn religion. if there has been any foundation for the ordinary feelings of pity and compassion which most people recognize, then thc present course of Gerniatiy is a sharp coiitradiction of all the progress and to all the best aspirations of the human race. Germany seems botind to put itself in the attitude ofa common enemy to man- kind.
One eertain consequence must follow this sinking of
passions, Such an outrage cannot occur witltottt stirring in the breasts of hitherto neutral spectators a feeling that such extremes of barbarity ought to be severely punished. There will be a stronger heart than hitherto to resist Ger- \_uan aggression. it would not be strange if the effect of German acts of this sort were to force iitto war against Germany certain nations which would have kept out it' the prospect of German success had not carried such pos- sible niisfortuiies for all humanity. Tliere will be more strength lti the drives ot` the allies against the Teutonic forces, There, will certainly be sharper temptation to ven- geantre upon German cities and towns if the allies ever succeed in breaking through the lines of German steel and artillery. Suppose flint it were in power ot’ the allies to- day to burn the city of Berlin, they would surely not be as much disposed to spare its beautiful streets, residences and palaces, as il' the Lusitania had not been sunk. Titus retaliation will be the cr_v and that will lead to counter re- taliation in turn anti the wretched victims of this fury of tvar will number untold thousands. .-
This is t-he legitimate and inevitable consequences of
the infernal course which Germany has seen fit to pursue. its leaders openly defend the policy of using any means, however desperate anti barbaric, in order to accomplish their purposes. lt is impossible for such doctrines to be proclaimed without having consequences which will react upon tlte Germans themselves, The more this sort of war- fare is prolonged the greater will be the wrath of the allies and the more terrible will be the penalty which Grmany must pay if it is ever in_the power of the allies to inflict it. ls it at any point evident that the policy ot' militarlsm is better than the policy of arbitration of international dif- ferences. tlte sttbiuissioit of disputes to the arbltrament ot' colm, tlispassionate and impartial judges, who shall in peace and with honor render their decisions? This entire outburst of savagery illustrates what a beast the military spirit is in disguise. lt is impossible ro predict the immedi- ate consequences of the sinking of the Lusitanla, but they must certainly be ultimately very serious to Germany.
N0 PRAYERS FOR PEACE
Dr. ('itaries Eliot. the ex-president of Harvard, is no
tnilitarist. But ite realizes so strongly what are the real issues in this war flint he unhesltatlngly bids the minis. ters of the Gospel not to pray for European peace now. Than such ti peace, he protests, he can conceive no worse catastrophe for the human race. for he sees that it would iitvolve the triumph of the aggressive mliltarisin of Ger- mtlnif- 'I`hlS irillmph would be hers "after she had com- mlllefl 'lit' itreaiest crime a nation can commit, namely, faithleitaitess to treaties." The sanctity of contracts amongst nations would be no more, and civilization would have been st-t. back for centuries. Not until Germany has been driven hack within her own horde-rs, not until she ""5 hm*-ll f°l'09fl I0 fiitlit the wrongs she has done Belgium, would Dr. Eliot have Americans pray for peace, He has no shadow of doubt that "iiberty and every other American ideal are involved in this war." For that high reason he cannot affect neutrality himself, nor can he understand how thinking men amongst his countrymen can cherish neutral feelings. He discerns that this war is a war of principles and of civilization which are incompatible, and
he frankly proclaims that the principles he holds anti the elvilizntion he reverca are the principles anti the civiliza- tion of our common blood. '

An esteemed corres- pondent sends The Guardian two verses which aptly expresses in un- mistakable language the fate in store for the responsible auihor of the crime. Unfortunately though the feel- ing expressed would be appreciated by most readers, it is rather too strongly worded to be quoted in this column. S C O

AND A TRIBUTE
~____.
A. A. B.
The Wilve of indignation and of sor-
row that. is sweeping over the world from The La/nd of the Midnight Sun to that of the Southern Cross, while _vet the murderous deed that sent the Lusi- tanla to the bottom of the sea is so fresh in all our minds. finds an echo in the heart of every matt woman and child on this Island, leaving us niysti- lled that man born of woman could have been found so sunk to_all the dictates of humanity. as to commit such a deed. But tho sooner we fully realize the - desperate situation, in which we now find ourselves, the soon- er we awaken to the fact that this is a iight to the death against the colossal madness that indulges in the sacking of Louvain, the baby-kiil- ing of Scarborough, the destruction of Rheims, Arras and Mnlines, the poison- ous gases of Ypres, and the sinking of the Lusitania, the sooner we awaken to the fact that a ntad_.do§ is at large that must be destroyed, the better it will be for us. immense sacrifice is demanded of this island, as well as of all the outlying portions of the Eni- pire, so that the hands of the Motlter (‘ouutry should be upheld in the great struggle in which she is now engaged, a struggle that affects us just as deep- ly as it does the Home-land.-Are we alive to this, are we nerving our- selves to the supreme effort that will surely be required of us? Do not let us pause in the good work, but let us carry on the same with as great force as \ve have at any moment since this awful war started. lt ,almost seems as though we were getting apathetic, that we were wenrying in well-doing, that we had put our hands to the plough and were now turning back. We have dong- well in the past, no doubt. but do not let us pause there. l have be- fore my minds eye as l write the Canatlian Patriotic Fund und l find that our contributions are but poorly coming forwrtrtl, tlitit :t large portion of the inoncy that has been stil)-tt-i'ilit-ti to that fund have come from the t‘ity of tfharlottetown. This is not as it sitotiltl be, for at all costs this l~‘tnttl niust he kept tip anti it will not he fuir to cast too inuclt of the lturticn
on to one community.
Do the people through this fair
country of Prince Edward island t anti no country oil the face of God`s earth is fairer) realize what would be their portion if the Birtish Fleet should by any chance be overcome in the North Sea, tio they realize what this land “flowing with milk and honey" would look like after a few ot' these tlenions who overran tlevoted Belgium and s5`rrowful Polniitl, had visited us :ind wreaketl some of their "culture-" on us. This is a contingency tlittt we tniglit as well take into our calcula- tions, and reniott- as it ntny he, it is well worth considering. lf these cul- tured gentlemen treated the llclgittns :intl Poles ttwo peoples with whont they had no cause ot' rittarrel at alli.:is we now knotv they did trent tht-nt. what might we suppose would be their treatment of the poeple of this ls- land, whom they hate more cordially than any people were ever hated he- fore. It would not tlieu be a question with its as to how-inucli we would give, they would simply take all flint was to bc taken, and a prosperous people would be left pt-ntiiless. This seems to me the only reasonable con- clusion we can arrive at. anti wlteii \ve think over the matter caret'ully. let tis make supreme efforts. not one, but. many, to give largely ot' thc talents
with which God has provided tis
As Newbolt, so aptly puts it in his
“Supreme Sacrnnieut,"
“Draw near my frieutls and let your
thoughts be high,
Great hearts are glad when it is time
to give.
Life' is no life to ltiin who dures to
die,
And death no death to him who
dares to live."
Let tis one and all remember this,
and let our givings have no uncertain ring; let it not he what we can afford to give, but more, far more than that: what we can't afford to give. and He who seeth in secret will reward us openly.
