Strong young men with packs on their backs hurrying for bus or train; young “girls in khaki, red sweaters caught about their waists, prancing for joy at the coming “trails; autos being loaded with fishing paraphernalia and camping gear; families with Kiddies off on the steamer for a beach week-end. ‘ It’s as if youth, released from the dry clutter of the city’s routine, were sud- denly calling out: “Sweep the dust from our souls, oh, Mother Nature—make us bright and clean again!” * Follow them over the trails—hikers in hob-nailed boots striving toward the blue, lured into intimacies with flowering bush and the scurrying life of the hills. ie The course pierces the mystery of a canyon.

The fact is—there is no a sense in blinking it—that ‘the United States is more likely to have her next war with England than with any other important power. ' It is silly to talk about blood re Jationship and to declare such @ War unthinkable, Our own civil war and the civil wars that have alfilctes every country answer that. The blood relationship between England and Germany before the world war and still continuing— Eéward VI, with his German ac- cent, and his son, George V, a full “eousin to the ksiser—should warn as how little there lies in blood felationship to prevent war, Does the Germanic meaning of Saxon fone all its significance when hy- phenated Into Anglo-Saxon? No, the worst of wars are the wars between brothers, and they fre not the least frequent, America as the rivals. Possibly you are one ef thes who think such sentiments shou'd not be expressed in The Star. You may think it is a thing to keep still about. It isn't. It is a thing te understand, and, once we under. stand it, to act upon. Our navy and military people understand it and they act upon do the naval and military of England True Fy z H . i i ag 7 | H fi ff i i : i i ; j g i E ? lislt rill i ef =f iy own that We bed out sf abandoned Austria.
