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. '

blooded murder of the men. women
little children by _the Kaiser's
butchers. Nothing has come home
wth greater force to the people of all
classes than this callous atrocity,
which makes one shudder even to
think about lt. 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.

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.

a Diva,
Corsets combine all the grace and
suppleness that every woman de-
sires, and your gown will show to
perfection if fitted over one of the
models of these famous lines.
As good in Canada, as any foreign
corset is in its own country, you are
saving 50 p. c. duty and freight, be-
sides buying “Made-in-Canada”
goods.
We are showing a splendid range of these models
ranging from $1.00 to $5.00 per pair, and our corset
lady will delight in selling you the corset best suited
for your figure.
All are fully guaranteed not to break or rust.
