ANOTHER WAR IN 40 YEARS WILL DESTROY CIVILIZATION Herbert Knox Smith Says It Will Be Fought With Air- planes and Deadly Gas. Herbert Knox Smith addressed the New Britain High school club in the banquet hall of the Young Men's Christian association last night on “International Difficulties America is Facing Today.” President Russell Haigis, introduced Mr, Smith, who is a Yale graduate, former chairman of the republican town committee, Hart- ford, member of the Connecticut nhouse of representatives, 1903-5, dep- uty commissioner of corporations, chairman of the department of com- merce and labor, and progressive can- didate for governor of Connecticut in 1912, During the World War Mr, Smith was in charge of the gas ex-, perimental station at Camp Meade, He has recently returned from Eur- ope, visiting devastated France, Mr. Smith spoke as follows: “The next war will be a gas and air war, It will be fought in the clouds. Alr- planes manned by wireless and equip- ped with gas destroying bombs will | destroy towns and cities in a question | of hours, Take any large city in Am- ! erica today, tic up its railroads and the community will die of starvation in several weeks. War is only a prac- tical business proposition. Most wars | are fought for commercial supremacy. | _America fought for moral rights. If America should engage in a commer- clal war, you fellows better stop and | consider, will it be worth spending ! billions and waste millions of lives? Not Prepared To Fight Japan. . “Japan does not want America to| |trade with China. Japan is slowly | stealing land in China by peaceful; . penetration, by going over there and| i slowly occupying the country, We {are not prepared to go over the Pa- {elfic to fight Japan, because of the | distance and the lack of fortified coaling and repairing stations. We | bave the island of Guam, but that is not fortified and does not afford any protection. In war with Japan it I would be taken over by Japan in one | week. Our battleships are not pre- pared to cross the Pacific carrying their own fuel. “If we were to engage in a war with Japan for commercial reasons we would lose more than we could ‘ever gain and it would be a titanic waste of money and men. All wars are foolish, unless fought for moral reasons. Otherwise they are not jus- ' tified. i The European Situation. No wtake the western questions and wrangles that you fellows read about daily. Most of the wrangling is between England and France. Be- fore the World war, Germany car- ried on an extensive trade with Eng- land. Now English factories are jdle. On a recent visit to England I saw thousands of laboring people jdle. England therefore is anxious to resume relations with Germany. France has a national hatred for Ger- many and does not want to see her border crossed again. France is elf-supporting, largely by farming, |JLutheran; ;htl rl's:; n:t look to Germany for|North; Presbyterian Church of the| her commerce and trading.

Before the late war Germany manned the Russian factorles and she is again | desirous of taking over Russia's large plants. * Poland Thorn in Germany’s Side. “Poland won her freedom because of the aid given her by France. It .18 closely allied with France and proves a. thorn in the side of Ger- many. Because of the mighty fight fgr commercial supremacy between IFrance and England, France is aiding | the Turks. That is the reason that England is so respectful toward the Turks and is negotiating for peaceful relationships. “Materfal gain is the caus of all wars. Wars do not benefit any one. | Every one of you boys will be poor- er in dollars and cents for the next | fifty years because of the late war. You cannot destroy a large part of the world’s wealth and not feel the " effects in later years. The world is poor today and the World war is the | cause of it all. Another War In 40 Years “I believe that we will have an- other war in forty years. This war will be a gas and air war. It will destroy all civilization. Just now in ¥urope there is ten times as much powder as there was at the beginning of the World W The nations are too poor to fight just now, but, when they recover, it is my belief that we will experience a war that will an- nihilate all civilization, “It is up to you boys to study the causes and troubles of the wars. All commercial wars are a hindrance to CHRISTMAS GIFT SUGGESTIONS FOR HER FOR HIM FOR THE KIDDIES On Today’s Want Ad Page Classifications 65 A-B-C-D Dry goods store on Broad street for sale.

The churchwomen have organized a country-wide Dollar Day, to be 19'd next Saturday. Women irrespective of their religious affillations, will be: asked to give one dollar cach to-| wards the education of leaders for the | 400,000,000 women of Asia. Mrs. Henry W. Pecabody of Boston is chairman of the committee which has organized fifty thousand auxiliar- ies of all denominations in practical- ly every city and in every state. Mrs, Harding was one of the first contributors to the fund, which has; the endorsement of the President and | Secretary of State Hughes, not only| for their work on behalf of Christian education, but also because of their bearing upon international friend-| ‘ship. | The seven Union Christian colleges for women are located in either the capitals or leading cities of the Far East. Two of them are medical schools for training Oriental women as physicians. They are maintaimed | by ten denominational bodies of this country. In one instance, mission- ary boards of Great Britain also are cooperating. The aim of the schools is to prepare future Christian lead- ers of the East, The movement is an outgrowth of the world war, When it began in 1914 only two or three small at- tempts at .the higher education of the women of the Orient had been made. The war had a great influence on | them and when it ended seven Union | colleges had been organized. The $3,-| 000,00 fund is required - to provide sites and buildings. All the colleges are at present working in small, in- adequate buildings, some of which are said to be several hundred years old. Each when completed will provide for 400 résidents. The cooperating bodies are: North- ern Baptist, Christian; Congregation- alist; Canadian Methodist; Canadian Methodist; Canadian Presbyterian; Methodist Episcopal, United States of America; Reformed The schools are: The Women's Nanking; Women's Union Medical College, Peking; The Women's Chris-, tian College, Madras; Union Mission- ary Medical School for Women, Vel- lore, India; and the Isabella Thoburn College, Lucknow, India. Five of them have been adopted by American Institutions for Women as sister-col- leges. Wellsley has adopted Yan- Ching; Smith, Gin-Ling; Vassar, To- kio; Mt. Holyoke, Madras; and Goucher, Isabella Thoburn. In a statement explaining the need for the seven colleges, Mrs. Peabody | said: “Therc are 400,000,000 women in FOR SALE - Valuable piece of property at1 No. 70 Church St. Lot 53x127.; Ideal location for new block. | COX & DUNN Realtors 272 Main St. | COLD WEATHER NEEDS We have a full line of new and sccond-hand stoves, oil heaters, gas| lieaters, ctc.
