The former President of the United States does not spare the 'preachers of diluted mush of makerbelieve morality." He says: *| "The ultra-pacificists, the peace-at any-price.men, have appeired spar- adorically everywhere, but they have of recent years been most hutherous and noxious in the United States, in Great Britain, and in France." In Canada, up to the very outbreak of the war, they ridiculed military titles and unforms, and even sneered al the great general who to.day leads the British (roofs to the tescie of Belgium. Mr. Roosevelt accuses ultra- pacificists of callous indifference to the rights of weaker nations. He charges Mr. W. J. Bryan with fetbly serving unrighleolisa€sd by making "absurd, all-inclusive arbi- tration treaties," by delivering *lo- quacious speeches" before Pedte Societies on the abolition of war, and by neglecting to protest against the hideous wrongs done to Belgium in the namie of twentieth century culture, In Mr. Roosevelt's view, "the lowest depth is reached by profes- sional pacificists who tontinde to scream for peace without daring to prolest again concrel T comm a te Thess include all our fellow-countrymen who at the present time clamor for peace without explicitely and clear ly declaring that the first condition of peace should be the righting of the wrongs of Belgium, reparation to her, and guarautee against the possible repetition of sucn wrongs at the expense of any well-behaved small civilized power in the future." The former president points out that by conventions signed at The Hague during his regime, the United States became a guarantor of Belgium's integrity, and he ar gues that the national honor will not be vindicated until the oulrag- ed little kingdom is freed of the oppressor. The charge is one to be weighed by Americans them- salves, but without question millions of them #gree with Mr. Roosevelt.

Thunder of, A dtins Does Not Bfidg Rain London, Dec. 28.--* Like the supposed influence of the moon up- on the weather, the popular belief that powder brings rain is base- less," writes. a scizntist in The Times. "About four years ago the First Lord of the Admirality was gravely asked in the House of Com- mons whether he would instruct the fleet to carry out its heavy gun practice at some other period of the year than in the middle of harvest time, 'when the resultant rains may cause serious loss to the farming community." The idea is absoltitely without foundation. Experiments made in America and on the coo. tinent show that in dry weather no amount of concussion has the slightest effect in the production of rain. , - At the present litie ther€ is one fact which should at once dispose of the cherished theory. There is no more reason for thinking that gunfiring at the front is more vio lent than it was in the earlier stages of the war. Therain should there- fore have commenced' shortly after fhe couhrasl of tha war. As a matter of fact, nothing of the kind took place. [n August and Sep- tember the rainfail was much below the average. "At Shoeburyness, where big guns are being tested also daily, year in and year out, the average reinfall is smaller than in any other part of the United Kingdom. War Lords as War Prophets At the beginning of the war every German high in office was a soothsayer of victory. Ministers and diplomats of the Kaiser confi- dently predicted that that the Allies would be crushed and brought to submission before the end of 1914 They considered that about three months of war would take all the fight out of the British, French, Belgian and' Russian armies. At the end of two months Count Bernstorff, the German Ambassador WHEN RAEI CKAG | at Washington, anfiounced | Secretary k that his country's foes were shattered, and that she was willing to grant them peaee. At the end of four thomths Herr Détnbuig, the Kaiser's financial . agent in the United States, published in The Independent a statement of the terms upon which Germany would conglude peace. It was another case of the hunter's selling the lion's skin while the beast lived.
