It is well shed for our , family, for our friends, for our God, for our country, for | our kind. The rest is vanity; the rest is crime.” , When history comes to look for the causes of the appalling crisis | @hich darkens Europe, what will it find? Tho pretended cause an| : eff-shoot of the Balkan problem, which has been settling itself these - forty years, The real causes: Senile Ha eburg arrogance gencrations Fold; the inveterate belligerence of a Kaiser whose throne rests upon | military power and privilege; and the fatalistic war spirit of a great | despotism where men are born to be sacrificed. | 4 Peace, progress, -enlightenment—these things are then mere | ~* words when the old berserker wakes up in Europe. Arbitration, | Hague tribunals are only amusements of sunny afternoons. Even | 4 Giplomacy is a dead letter. ist The plain truth is that three great nations of Europe seem \ Metersvined to furnish the most terrible and crushing indictment of | twentieth century civilization. Wherefore nobody can discern, save that A “The love of the sword rages ‘i And the guilty maunoss of war.” * + i THE CITY’S NEW INTEREST. . } > ere is to have the prize playground of the whole Se Sei) . country. A ten-acre plot in two parts, to include stadium, Fi outdoor gymnasium, gardens, wading pool, sand piles, recre- a ation houses for children and mothers and public baths, will provide | this part of Brooklyn with the best equipped play centre that thought | | and money can produce. Plans have been accepted and contracts ‘will be let within a month, | It is wholly fitting that this district, which is one of the most densely populated in Greater New York, should have the first and | best of these plants for the encouragement gf healthy, happy children. | In other directions the playground campaign which The Evening World has conducted since carly spring shows ever-increasing ~ atrength and popularity. ee Tn many sections of the city playgrounds on the scale of the |, Brownsville plan are impossible. In a letter to Borough President : ", Marke, C. B. J. Snyder, Superintendent of School Buildings, urges - \ a) that schoolhouse roofs be utilized for playgrounds’ and (2) that ) schools be equipped with swimming pools. >. The Evening World first pointed out how readily and cheaply a || bathing pool might be installed in the open court which is a feature of the nower type of schoolhouse. Mr, Snyder presents plans for . utilising in a similar way the cellar beneath the assembly room wing of the fifty-one classroom type of building. 2, In a letter to The Evening World, Superintendent of Schools Maxwell calls attention to the fact that “this summer thirty-four | Gchoolhouses are used {or vacation schools and one hundred and | “seventy-four for playgrounds.” Keep on with the good work until | ) > every schoolhouse in the city is made to contribute its full capacity | ‘toward providing safety, recreation and sanitary bathing for children @aring vacation time. aaa oot , AN OPPORTUNITY. © 7 REAT advantage to the United States in a European war is foreseen by the editor of the London Statist, Sir George Paish. ‘ | America can sell her crops to Europe at prices bringing much | if profit than could have been realized had there been no war Americans “can buy back from Europe great quantities of purities at attractive prices in payment for foodstuffs, raw material even manufactured goods exported from the United States.” A great war in Europe would give the United States an Opportunity of assuming the position of world banker by sup- plying capital freely to countries and individuals in all parts of the world who need It and can provide the required security. Bhould the American peoplo take advantage of the golden Gpportunity thus afforded, then the outbreak of war in Europe will mean notodiminished but increased prosperity for the people of the Wolted States. oe fortunes of others belongs to economies of a bygone period.
