The present war which has caused more _sorrow crime and suffering, to say nothing Of bl°°d5h_°‘_l»

other convulsion recorded in history,_-ongi-

i_n__a thought. The thought developed into a the theory into a cult, the cult into an obses- a national religion. 'l`he thought originated

brain of the tjcrniaii philosopher, Nietzsche,

insanity was mistaken for genius pntil at a

comparatively early age he became hopelessly insane

#lrandhad to be cared for. ln the meantime he sowed in

Germany the seeds which grew into the world’s great- est catastrophe and the ruin of Germany. Sixteen years ago Nietzsche died at the age of fifty-six. Dur- ingthe last twelve years of his life he was so palpably insane that he had to be restrained and cared for as a hopeless imbecile. During the years of his activity, while professor of philology in the University of Basle, Switzerland, he was equally. insane, but the brilliance of his insanity dazzled not only the Ger- mans but the world and it was looked upon as genius. Today, with' the product of the Nietzsche philosophy being reaped on the blood soaked fields of Northern France and Belgium, the world knows he was always insaneand it knows also that the world itself was equally insane in being infatuated and deluded by his insanity. His philosophy, matured at a time when he was already suffering from the brain malady which ev__entually put out the light of his mind, was an un- compromising- rcvolt not onlyf against religion but against science. nationalism, ethics and all the conven- tions of conduct and civilization. In his disordered brain he conjured up the vision of a "Superman" who would conquer and trample beneath his feet thc weak, the merciful, and the “poor in spirit". An anarchist iii his opposition to the state, he was yet an aristocrat iiispirit, and had only contempt for democracy. He denounced scientists and nationalists as bitterly as he tlayed religionists.

J His vigorous and epigraniiiiatic litterary` style

gave his philosophy a public vogue which doubtless

'exercised a deep influence upon the impressionable

minds of Teutonic youths. Nietzsche’s bril|iai1t flights appealed to' them more powerfully than the precepts of _Christianity or the sober moral- humani- tarianism of Haeckel and the scientific free-thoiiglit school. - From first to last, Nietzsche glorified war, and alJ`ove_all wars of conquest. “You say that a good cause will sanctify even war!" he wrote, “I fell you thai a good war will sanctify any cause.”

Again he wrote: “Man should be educated for

war, and women for the ‘recreation of the warrior.. 1-\ll else is folly." Of peace lie said: “You should _love peace. as a means to a new war, and the short _peace more than the long." ' »’-ji, He hated modern humanitarianism, medical science, everything that tended to perpetuate the lives ofthe weak. “The weak must perish! And we imist help them to do so," he asserted. And again, “The 'strengthciiizg and elevation ofltlic Eaziniaii ran; :il- f\_\"ays iiivoivts the e~<istence of slai-es."

His conlcnipt for the fair ser was iizibouiirlf- l, and

he flayed wrnieii in a niultituile of sciitliiiig epigraiiis “Thou goest to women? Forget not thy whip.”

He was the phophet of (icrnian “knlturc.” He

wrote: "Let iis have, not coiiteiitediiess, but power --not peace, but welfare-not virtue, but efficiency."

What but insanity, could move a nation to accept

such a philosophy? What, but a studied and settled brutality and licstiality,_ could result from its accep- tance? Iii the light of this philosophy we can un- _derstand the inhuman criielties of the (jernians in the

present wa'r, the murder and mutilation of babes, the inhuman treatment of helpless women and children, the wanton destruction of cities and monuments and works of art. The inexplicable thing about it is not th_`a_t (iermany alone but the world, the civilized world, accepted it and sat at the feet of this dcmonized (ia- maliel, went to (iernian universities steeped in this theology. The drcam is over. The Nietzsche philosophy be- gotten in insanity, has borne its fruit and (iermany and the rest of the world have had enough of it. l-lenceforth the weak shall not be the victims of the strong but more than ever their wards and this will apply to weak nations as to weak individuals. War will not sanctify a cause, but the cause, as in the present case, will sanctify and glorify even- such a war as is now filling thc earth with sadness and with sacrifice.

tw ‘__ , 1,.: ,. ” "-who transformation came upon us almost sudden- ly. ` There are many still living who 'remember the days of our isolation, when our sister provinces were foreign lands to us, when world 'news 'reached us by devious ways requiring weeks and months to travel by sailing vessel, by stage coach and by the tongue of_the traveller. These _are by-gone conditions; wc live in a new world andimust accept the new world’s mode of li_ving, must accept its mode of thought, its innovations, its ideas and its ideals. We had grown up content with what we had, reconciled to what we had not, and encouraged ourselves in the belief that what we__had noti',w,as 'i.iii`n_ee`e‘ssary. The ,world is changing,"is progressing, _is grotqiilg-‘betterf has more facilities for doing ,\ygrk.and_`has more work to do than_in thefby-gone d_ays._‘ One by» one we have ta- ken up, 'sometimes reluctantly, the better facilities. Qur flails 'gave way to the modern thrmhing machine; our scythes gave place to the mower and binder; our

_stagmcoach gave place to the railway train, our sail

boats gave place to the gasoline motor boat and the “new fangled" substitution we looked upon as extra- vagaiicél and waste. Yet time healed the hurt in each case and proved that the modern way was the best wayi .

We still cling to some of our insularities_ The

latest device, the automobile, is forcing its way upon us and we are shooing _it off, but it will not stay out any more than 'the threshing machine, the self binder or the railway traih._ Some time we shall be recon- ciled to it and 'we shall wonder _how we got along wi_thout___it, how we got our milk to the factories, how we brotight our fresh fish to the railways for ship- ment broad, how we _travelled from ‘place to place without it.

Modern improvements and labor and time saving

devices cannot be kept out except to our hurt. The world is moving on and we must move with it. Science wisely applied, is a_ friend not an enemy, and though its ways' may seem strange to us we must accept what the rest of thc world has proved to be beneficialf

_-_-)0(____ _

There has been.a-. good deal of talk both on the

platform and in the priessiabout Camp Borden. As has been true of`all -the scandals circulated during the past two years 'regarding the government and parti- cularly regarding the Militia Department, those about (.amp Borden were insinuations rather than charges, hints, suppositions, inferences from hearsay evidence. And, like the others also, they were all groundless. llie Mail and Empire, commenting upon the Camp Borden scandals says: '

His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught was

pleased with what he saw at Camp Broden. Few men would see as much and few would as quickly forni a just estimate of it all, for the Duke is a born S0l<|ler._"’who'-'has. followed the profession of arms from his youth up. _ I-le has held the highest command ni the British army. He has served in many parts of the Empire and has seen soldiering in every clime. We venture to say, and we doubt not that he would

readily say. that Camp Borden is one of the best mili- tary training grounds in the Empire. Other soldiers

who haye had large experience of camps have so spo- keiiof it. Canadian officers and men who have put in periods at (.amp Borden, Valcartier, Niagara, the Toronto Exhibition grounds, Salisbury Plains, Shorn_ chffe and in France, say the most nearly ideal of all is Camp Borden. No critic whose opinion is of any value has in sober judgment spoken Otherwise than favorably of the camp. It is true there have been re- ‘marks about the “Camp Borden horror" and titteran- ces to similar effect. But these do not come f`roni mi-

litary critics or fairminded persoiisiinaiiy walk in lift-_ Bitter party feeling and _demagogism move some men to speak and act as if.bereft ofitheir moral sense. If the MFC f¢P0l'l~“ fl1Hl_~_l1ave got abroad about Camp llordeni have been received with. credence in some quarters the blame is not wholly upon the ca_lumnia- tors. Had thefioveriiiiient or the military authorities concerned given tho public more opportiiiiitiesi to judge for themselves they could not have been`im_ posed upoii._ Istea-d of being closed to the public for si_x_ days of the week, the camp ought to be open to visitors~to a much less limited extent. If the fathers and mothers and wives and brothers and sisters and friends of the men in training had freer access to them in the camp they would not only see for them. selves the iiiitruthfulness of the statements in detrac_ tion of it, but also they would hear the hearty t¢5ti_ niony to the contrary of the men in training.

GERMAN sefhiziioar

Whatever the removal of von Falkenhayn from the

post of chief of the German general staff means, his place in military history seems fairly well assured, He took over the work after the first plans for a speedy conquest in succession of France and Russia had failed- and practically the universal opinion of ,students of military tactics is that he accomplished quite as much as was possible for any `man__under the conditions.
