DO IN CASE OF WAR (The Outlook) The American people are rapidly passing from a perilous stage, that of neutrality of feeling, of unconcern and indifference The cause of the war inay still be obscure to many, but the emirs& of war is not obscure. The massacre of the Armenians, the en- slavement of the Belgians, the Zep- pelin war on non-combatants, the pi- ratical undersea war on merchant 'ships these ere not obscure. The re- port of them has been circulated throughout the country. The Ameri- can people are slowly awakening to the fact that barbarism is making war -in A barbaric spirit and by bar- baric method.- on civilization. When National airs are played at public gatherings, when the American flag is worn on coat lapels and displayed from shops and houses and even churches, we may be sure that the American people are awake or at least awakening. It is said that the Admin.., isixation is deluged with letters from various parts of the country urging a policy of peace. We welcome this as a good sign, for it indicates that the spirit -of indifference and unconcern is passingaway, and that a sense of responeibility is beginning to (take possession of the American people. The outward and manifest sign of this National awakening is a Nation- al' declaration of lawful war against wish, it is by to means powerless . is clear that the whole country should support the navy in every way poss- ible and bend every effort to strength- en it ae the first .step toward effective warfare. In this lawful war against lawless war we can ieentribute to the fighting land forces. -Many thousands of Americans have already crossed the Canadian border and enlisted with Can- adian troops for campaigning in Bel- gium and Fraileie. This they have done despite the 'fact that recruiting in the United States have been ,im- possible. If :recruiting offices were open in the United States -as they could be in time of war -no one can even approximately estimate how many would offer their services. It is well Imown that the announcement in the papers that .Mr. Roosevelt has offered to raise ti force of volunteers in case of war hat brought him a host of applications from all oven -the coun- try. The Roughriders who volunteer- ed for the Spanish-American war,whee the appeal to courage and chivalry was far lees than now, and the 1. !Me - men who volunteered to guard the Texan border, though there was little to appeal to the 1,0ve of adventure or in to the love of t:entry, furnish an in- dication that it would not be imposs- ible to raise in six months a not insig- nificant expeditionary body of men ti reinforce the French and English in the trenches. And though the" num- ber thus volunteering, compared with laviless war -of , a. war of humanity the minions already in the field, might a,gainst inhumanity, law and_order and not and probably -would not be large, the moral effect of such a reinforce- ment, voluntary on the part of the soldiers themselves, but backed by the United States Government and by the united public sentiment of the people of the United States, would be very great. It would at the same thee hearten the Feencb, and dishearten the Germans. And the raising of that force in this lcountry would not only have an immediate moral effect dur- ing the period of its training on this side of the water,. and a continued mor- al effect on its 5ativaI in Europe for further training and for participation in the fighting wider the American flag, but a real moral and political ef- fect in the part that America would play in the settlement of the issues at the close of the war. ferstice against laudessness and organ- ized -anarchy and barbaric injustice - would of itself exert a moral influence which' might not impossibly be suffici- ent to determine the undetermined is- sue, and bring this terrible world tragedy to a perpetual end. It would reinforce, by one of those deeds which speak so much louder than words,' the President's appeal for recognition of democratic primciples and would do more than anything short of a decis- ive victory in the field to force the people of Germany to eealize that they are now being used as pawns in a war against the liberties for Which their fathers fought in the futile re- volution in 1848. le Such a declaration of lawful war against lawless war would raise the blockade of fear, - or incompetence, which is one of the causes of fear -a blockade which has been holding Am- erican vessels in ports as effectually as if there were a cordon of hostile In 'addition to such an expeditionary force, necessarily not large, we can at once institute in this country a system of universal- military training; and by that means announce the determine - naval vessels off our coast.

This winter we have had a coal "famine" and that suffering has ac- companied the shortage of this ne- cessity is undeniable. The average citizen ha e a notoriously short mem- ory, but now is the time to impress upon him that, in many cases, the suffering was due to lack of foresight. In Canada many people buy in small quantities -often only one ton. If, for any cause, there is a shortage of coal, improvident householders de- mand that the coal dealers do the impossible, namely that they supply fuel that is unobtainable. Whereas, had they. purchased their coal in the summer or autumn, there would be ample supplies. available. s.s.•••••••••••••,• grain during the eight months. This is .15 lb per horse per day. At the average charge of $2.00 per ton for crushing, such slight gains would cost 13 1-3c per pound. However no , difference was apparent in health or I general condthotm. 5. When bran was mixed with the whole oats the horses could not eat too rapidly, owing to the dry, flakey character of the bran. 6. When horses were properly wa- tered and not fed too much hay, whole grain was found in but very small quantities when at all in the manure. 7. Both from the weights and ap- pearance of the horses and the condi- tion of the manure, crushing did not appreciably increase the digestibility of oats. 8. Whether fed crushed or whole grain, horses must have sufficient rest after meals to start digestion at least. If time is short feed less rather than allow to rapid eating of the regular feed. In 'eonclusion, it seemed , to be de- finitely shown that, to horses fed in the proper manner, the crushing of oats had little' if any advantage and was unprofitable. In other words, the cost of crushing wasted. LETVER FROM FRANCE. The following interesting letter has been received by Gordon McGavin, on of Mr. J. J. McGavin, of Lead- proposal heard in some quarters that if this wan-1ATgoes into war it should "go it alone." If we should "go it prone," it is cone,eivable that Germany Might make peace with her other en- emies, and then "go it alone" with us. If that should happen, it would be just retribution. The kmerican people should dismiss the thought. If we go into this war, it will be for no self- ish National purpose.

We cannot escape the resposibilty of deciding whether we shall use such power as we possess to promote the cause of lib- berty and justice. We cannot escape our tresponsibility by saying that the war does not 'concern us.' Neither can we eecape it by saying to ourselves, "We would but cannot; we have the will, but not the power," We have the power.
