PROCEDINGS THE WAR AS A MELTING POT - . © We hear much'these days of the melting pot as-applied to the Americanization of our foreign immigrants.. While the need has been great that this foreign element be fused with the national life as quickly as possible, there is yet another phase of American life wherein the melting pot ‘can ‘render great service, and that melting pot \yill be developed in the war upon which we have enterd. bt | IS - - Until recent years America has been distressingly pro- vincial. Not provincial as a whole, but provincial by sections. The down easter looked with suspicion upon anything having its origin outside old New England. The southerner viewed all parts of the country save the west as alien treritory, and only ‘had a tolerance for that section because it was made np largely of his kinsman. The citizen-of the middle west has always been convinced that creation ceased with the completion of his ter- ritory, and so it ran. The thoughts and customs of the various sections were antagonistic, .and it was only grudgingly that either could be brought to admit that there might be anything of merit come out of the other. i . All this the war will- change. We will no longer be a . nation of many elements all antagonistic and out of sympathy. We will no longer waste our energies in berating and belittling our neighbors because, forsooth, they ‘may not'view all of life with our eyes. this country fighting side by side, sharing the same dangers and the same death. As the war progresses their numbers are in- creasing. Each is learning from others, and each is uncon- sciously learning to see life from the other’s viewpoint. As the association progresses, many common views will 'be de- veloped, and where antagonism exists, close and intimate con- tact will gradually but surely bring each into harmony with the other. . 5 When this war is ended and our boys come home, it will not be a crowd of provincials we shall welcome, but an agmy of cosmopolitans—world citizens, weimay: say. These men will have probed to the hottom the character of their fellows and learned all there was to know of them. And in that knowledge they will each have found much of value when fully under- stood, and will have learned to appreciate to. the full the good points of all. - The war will complete what our great industrial develop- ment had begun—it will make of us‘at last one compact action. all Americans together, all with a common interest, a common love and a common destiny. 0 * WHY IS CREEL IMMUNE? George Creel, official mouthpiece for President Wilson, has apologized for a recent New York speech in which he stated were, was for the reason he “disliked to go slumming.” The inference taken was that in his opinion the national house of the slums, and there was a vigorous protest from members of congress. i : make. way. I. W. W. for disloyal utterances about the government. 0 SHOULD SAVE AT THE “TOP,” ALSO. In this war of exhaustion a favorite piece of trickery is the enemy’s fire and cause him to éxpend his ammunition use- lessly, for every bullet wasted counts against the watser. It squandered with a profligacy nothing short of insanity. We are the richest nation on earth, no doubt, but every barrel has its bottom. A joint committee on the conduct of the war would be the best money-saving device. . + ——o0 PRISONERS WORK—NOT EOR THE GOVERNMENT. ‘ If those German prisoners who were caught attempting to tunnel out of the Camp McPherson prison had been given a steady job at hard war labor of some sort, they would not have had so much time, and they would have had considerably less the old proverb: “Satan finds work for idle hands to do.” — Qe e X, Lloyd George’s attitude toward the world is very like, that of our own Teddy Roosevelt. Life is to him a succession of interesting adventures, and his hat is always ready for a shy into the ring. 4 —_—0 Charlie Chaplin’s experience in selling liberty bonds is said to ‘have left him with an attaek of nervous prostration. Charlie evidently finds liberty bonds harder to put across than custard pies. —o Beginning today the great Red Cross feature, “The Hun- dred Million Dollar Drive,” will be repeated by request. Its management bespeaks the patronage of the public. —_—— It would be easier to take Voormezeele and Poeperinghe than to pronounce them. RS, Vi . From “Polite Phraseology,” by Herbert R.
