PAGE 6 A year ago, when America had not fully buckled down to the job of defeating Ger- many, there was in this country a certain im- personal attitude toward the Hun, the atti- tude men take toward a burglar whom con- viction has brought face to face with punish- ment. It was not so much the Hun himself that aroused us, but rather his kultur’s break- ing in, like a thief of the night, upon the peace of a world. : As America’s part in the great struggle grew our attitude shifted. It turned less im- personal; the Hun ceased to be a symbol of ) evil, becoming instead evil itself. 4 Yet America must not wholly forget that t THE SEATTLE STAR 1207 Seventh Ave. Near Ustem St. MEMBER OF SCRIPPS NORTUWEST LRAGUE 0 di 5 News Service of the United Press Association Telecraph Entered as Second-Class Matter May 8 THE SEATTI after all, it was an idea, a view, or interpreta- tion, of the worth-whiles of life, that plunged the world into the present vortex. But for the nineteenth century's development of material energies and the material substance of raw resources, this war never would have oc* curred. A war might have occurred, but it would have been on the small scale of previ- ous national conflicts. It was because of a century’s world-wide creation of wealth, wealth claiming: men’s very souls, that the super-struggle came. ; Germany in the development of material wealth and the desire for an increased devel- opment thereof, failed to preserve that spirit- (CONFESSIONS OF A | | WAR BRIDE | Copyright, 1918, by the Newspaper Enterprise Association If any one came to meet Mary Thomas at the train, he kept out of} sight.

Germany, we must remember, was and is the offender. But we must not forget that the same sore of material wealth had been eating an insidious way into all the nations. We of America have to a larger extent preserved the faith that quantity was of im- portance only as it served the ends of quality. That this, after all, proved to have been our faith has surprised an entire world. We, in fact, not Germany, were believed in July, 1914, to be the chief worshipers in the temple of materialism.

She must know that the defeat of Ger- many is but a means to an end. She must have faith that it is her destiny to establish the doctrine that the creation of wealth is good only in as far as it furthers the perfection of man’s free soul. When the nations of' the world gather about the peace table, these thoughts must be clear as crystal. At that table America must see to it that the shackles of iron, literal iron, be loosed from the souls of men and nations. And let today’s faith and desire be that the furnace of America’s present trial will loose the last rivet in the shackles that were tighten- ing about her own soul, Let her go to the peace table with hands wholly clean.

War knows neither race nor creed. In the front line) trenches the Protestant and Catholic, the Gentile and Jew) have mingled their life blood that the freedom of the soul| may be preserved; that the tyranny of monarchs and the) tyranny of prejudice may be broken. The bursting shell, | the raining shrapnel, the sneaking, creeping gas make no! distinctions of race or creed. Hundreds of thousands of Protestants and Catholics, Gentiles and Jews have made the supreme sacrifice or been maimed for life in the great cause for which the American and allied armies are fight- ing. Shoulder to shoulder, millions have passed thru the horrors of the hell of war and suffered the wracking hard- ships of the great struggle. The thousands of war workers representing those great religious organizations, the Y. M. C. A. Y. W. C. A, Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board and Salvation, Army, who have shared the dangers and hardships of the war that they might serve and cheer the fighters, who have bled and died in the service of humanity, have known no race or ¢reed. They have served every soldier of freeglom, regardless of race, color or religion, not with religious preachments and warnings, but with cigarets, chocolate and candy, with coffee and doughnuts, with innumerable huts where they could gather to swap stories and write letters, with all kinds of entertainment to relieve the mental strain of war, with out-door games and the little personal atten-| tions to cheer their hearts and keep up their spirits. So it is only fitting and right that the people at home should respond to the great patriotic necessity of rising above the prejudices of race and creed and rally to the sup- | port of this great work which knows neither race nor re-| ligion. The spirit of unity is the spirit of the United War Work campaign, the spirit of a nation which has battled its way to the heights of civil, religious and racial freedom. The people of Seattle and the nation will give liberally, There are none so small of spirit, so heedless of the lessons of this great war, that they will refuse to give because their whole gift does not go to further the aims of their own religion or race. | Now that’ the war is over and demobilization is still to} come, the best way to celebrate peace is to make life as! happy as possible for those who stood ready to give their ‘ives for us. | Lost: One first-class war.
