And we are in for another geography lesson, Investigation takes us back to Mesopotamia, one of the oldest names in history. Mesopotamia includes the division of Turkey in Asia between the Tigris and the Euphrates. It was dotted with cities, 6,000 B. ¢ Conquerors from the north and from the south swept back and forth over it. And nobody knew what the fighting was about in that time, except the leaders. Neither do the Kurds and Arabs know today, as they watch the British and Turkish forces striving to beat each other to Bagdad. Over a dozen nations are engaged in the present war and the common people of each coun- try will give a dozen entirely different reasons for killing each shar off. When it comes to explaining war, the reasons are just as good as the new ones. ancient tbursts of ee ea = Erter ie ne alias co ANU 1 GEN.

EDITORIAL PAGE OF ANOTHER WORD ABOUT MISS CAVELL HE finite human mind cannot grasp the infi- nite horrors of the war. Days come when the dead and wounded litter the battlefront by thousands. We read the figures. They have no meaning. We cannot picture thou- sands of tortured human bodies writhing between the trenches among the unburied dead. We read of the slaughter in Armenia and are robbed of the power to think at all. It is infinite wickedness which we cannot understand. But Miss Cavell is shot and we are thrilled with horror. Ten thousand Englishmen join Kitch- ener’s army. The war becomes personal. We can think in terms of one, After all it’s fortunate for us we cannot think on all this fearful slaughter in terms of one. It would be deadly to us. HAS ANOTHER HUNCH R. TAFT comes out with a prediction of re- publican success in the next national cam- paign.

Perhaps the “Ettrick Shepherd,” who wrote poetry a hundred years ago, comes nearer the facts in the case: “Love is a dizziness; It winna let a poor body Gang about his biziness!” UNCLE SAM’S CONSCIENCE FUND ALF A MILLION DOLLARS “conscience money” has been sent to Uncle Sam at his Washington ‘address since the year 1811.
