F Jack London were alive, he might write a story like this, only better: One morning in the year 1,820,001 B.C. © the Man-apes from the pe astern forests came © rushing over the hills ipon the Plateau of Nuts by the thousand, led by such redoubt- ables as Old Tiger-tooth, Bloody-jaw, Child- eater, and others who had won their rank by use of jaw and claw. . But thousands of the Ape-men were | ready for them. Old Blood-diet roared de ‘fiance while the short, thick hairs upon his forehead bristled angrily. Stone-hammer stood forth with a large boulder in either hand, while his cheek- . a bulged with smaller rocks. ° a ¢ ihe by “ STAR—THURSDAY, Story of the Man-Apes and Our Behind the two were rows and rows of ired teeth and fiendish faces. The time was come for settlement of possession of the nuts and berries to be found upon the plateau as nowhere else, and the battle raged furiously alPday. Women-apes and Ape-women and even half-grown children there were in the thick of it, for the lives of all were thought to be at stake, and throats were bitten open, eyes gouged out, limbs torn off, stomachs ripped open, as the dog-like teeth and cat- like claws could go the bloody work. By nightfall the thousands who had screamed, bitten and torn were pretty nearly all dead, and the few survivors had to pause because of exhaustion, and, as they stood SEPT. 13, 1917. PAGE 6 panting and looking over the vast field of corpses, it came upon them that if the | sli aughter went on there would be no Man- | ape, no*Ape-man world at all. | So these few exhausted, bleeding sur- vivors sat down together and agreed that | the Platgau of Nyits should belong to all. | They mutually gave a pledge that Man- apes should feed upon the nuts at certain hours and Ape-men at other hours, each without interference. by the other. They made a treaty. In the year 1917 A. D. the Plateau of Nuts has spread all over the earth. We now have Christianity, schools, steam, electricity, petroleum, the Bible, Shakespeare, Pasteur, Edison, Burbank, rights of freedom, justice Civilizati 1OTh and happiness—CIVIL IZATION. THAT TREATY OF 1,820,001 B. C. WAS THE BEGINNING OF CIVILI- ZATION; for on the sacredness of treaties rests the whole fabric of civilization. But we also have a very powerful nation which says that might is right, that war necessity knows no law, that a treaty is a scrap of paper. That nation must be put down to stay down, whatever the cost. Ne must make a treaty the most sacred act of nations, or our civilization dies.
