What has it always fought for? Prin- cipally for .a selfish purpose — for some recial advantage or advancement offensively. The fitst pretext for the present great world strife was pun- itlve—Austria to punish Serbia, for the assassination of the crown prince in that country; but the real purpose was the establishment of pan-Ger- manism snd the extension of German dominion over the nations and_the seas_of the world. It has resvited in the crushing of Serbia, Rumania, Po- the Armenians, and the destruction of the Romanoff rule in Russia. At first it was purely a war of eonquést, but as an offensive movement by Germany it_has been changed to a defensive struggle. It was later proclaimed to be a war against autoeracy for the preservation of democracy; and at last it is called “the war against war" ‘There 18 no-higher purpose than this, hence we hope milltarism will be overpowered and the "nations be leagued against war upom any pre- text. 3 Sunday Moming Talk TEAM WORK. Just before the battle of Trafalgar, when preparations for the English attack were complete, Nelson asked his captain- Blackwood, wkether he thought ‘Bnother signal . to the fleet might not be needed. The captain replied that he thought everyone knew perfectly what was expected of him. After musing a minute, Nel- son said: “Suppose we telegraph - a .| message to the effect that Nelson ex- pects every man to do his duty.” The officer approved the idea but asked if it might not better read: “England expects.” The great Admiral. who cer- tainly was not lacking in love for country, welcomed the change eagerly. At just 11.30, the signal which has achieved world-wide celebrity flew from the Victory's masthead and was received with a shout throughout the fleet. / The second signal was the better, for it put loyalty on the right ground Oun’ interest in any worthy under- taking should be a decper sentiment than admiration for some individual champion. As was recently said in the United States Senate, ‘“Deeper than our loyalty to a President or a party is that to a country and cause” The ‘right thinking citizen will work for victory in the war, not because it means personal glory for any particular soldier or statesman, of administration, but because it means a triumph for American democracy. radually and surely the mood of co’operatfon is growing on all our people. It-is getting into our na- tional consciousness as. regards this terrible affair in Europe that we are “all in it.” As with the Three Mus- keteers, it has become a case of “Bach for all and all for each.” Even he who cleans his plate of crusts or buys a stamp is helping.
