* - PAGETEN oo NY T0 GRAB CANADA SHE WINS WAR, SAID BARON Mouroe: Dockrine Would. be Trampled on ny Kaiser, as! Dominating Factor of World's Politics, Assert- ed Berlin Official Who in May Predicted War. W. G. Lukens, Toronto, writes lo the New York Suu,' under date of October 13th: . Apropos of the present Kuropeih con 1 am impelled to refer to an lent that may. at least furnish 1 for reflection. Early in May of the present year a Pennsylvania ~#teel man and mysell were entertain ed ig Berlin by a gentleman of large , in the councils, of his gov- ernment, whose name for obvious reasons I shall not divulge. Suffice to say he is a man whose ideas may be said to be representative of® at least the German ruling class. = After a discussion of business and political conditions, in America the baron (for a baron he is) gave ex- pression to the opinion that competi- tion between Germany and the Unit- -od States would become more 'and more keen, and said that jn order to compete successfully with = America Germany would be obliged to go closer to the raw material supply. "In your country, with its enor- mou# territory and immense natural resources," he said, "you have a very decided advantage, but I believe that .the time will come when we will be possessed of colonies whose resources jn raw material are as great as your own." When asked by my friend to spe cify the particular country he had in mind the baron smiled and hesita- ted, but finally continued: "At no distant date this country will be at war with Great Britain, Indeed, I am firmly convinced that war will come within two years, and in that belief I am joined by every man In Germany who has given thought to the European situation Evidence that England herself fears Germany ageression is plaigly seen in her cornection with the triple en- tente, which, of course, was conceiv- ed with the idea of offsetting the power-of the triple alliance. Shows How Germany Would Win. "But will Great Britain's efforts in that d .ection prove effective' Let us see. France is retrograding. Her birth rate is declining enor- mously; she is having difficulty in maintaining her army at anything . like normal strength, and her politi cal troubles are oninipresent. "Russia hag "hot recovered from her defeat by apan, and it will take Years tg restore her to a position where she can command any serious consifferation, while England herself is in a worse plight than ber two allless At this moment Irelind is divided into two opposing elements with drawn swords, India and the Boers are ready to take quick ad vantage of any preoccupation that may beset Englau?, and we have very good reason for the belief that under favorable conditions Canada and Australasia would quickly strike * for thelr independence. "On the other hand, the triple alliance is in a better position for aggressive action than ever before indeed possibly in a befter position to-day than it ever will be again, and it is this fact that leans to the conviction that war is not far dis- tant that the triple alliance must strike while the iron is hot. "Germany is prepared. Our ar my is a marvel of perfection: our fquipment is the finest in the world, and our financial resources are vir- tually unlimited, This being true, can there be any doubt as to the out- come of the confliet? ' "We will win and our emperor will dictate the terms of peace.in ~ London. Part of that price will in Volve a sufficient number of British colonfes and overseas dominions to make Germany the dominating fac tor In world politics and furnish her with a foothold on the Americar continént, for Canada must figu: as part of the price of peace." Politely but none the less insis tently my friend contended that such & condition of affairs as the baron butlineéd 'would compe! the United States to invoke the Monroe doctrie and bring our country into conflict with Germany, but the bar on smiled. Wonld Ignore Monroe Doctrine, oJhink you," 'he said, "that with Great Britain efimifiated as a world factor and the command of the seas in Germaty's hands the Monroe doc- trine or any. other doctrine would restrain us from collecting the re- ward of victory and doing with it what we pleased? Ah, my friends, You 'must consider that an outlet must be found for our rapidly in- Creasing popuation and that our peo- 'ple must be kept under the German flag to insure German domination. "You have too many of our peo- ple within your borders now.

We would, of course, not expect the United States to regard the populating of Canada with Gernian subjects as 'an act of aggression, but should she so fegard {t----" and the baron with a shrug unfinished I have set forth. the baron's re marks virtually verbatum. At the time I regarded his ideas d&s8 some what fantastic, but in the light of re belief that Germany's official 'and prize that lies far beyond the bord contemplated the subjugation of Great Britain but control of the world's politics 'and trade. And the road to that ambition led her through a little country whose neutrality she hersell guaranteed by "a mere scrap of paper," through Liege, through" Louvain, throug! Rheims, 'to leave in her wake a trai! and murdered women and children, the dangling corpses of old men, a Boyle O'Reilly so graphically des eribes it in her despatches from th Hague. We have read the diplomatic cor respondent leading up to the open ng of hostilities; we have authent! cated records of Sir Edward Grey's futile efforts in behalf of peace, and we have seen Germany respond b the gates of Paris. And in her de fence we witness the feeble efforts of eminent professors and soldiers, whose words and pens in a. just cause would be mighty and potent. We look toward Berlin for some pronouncement that would sugg at least an jota of excuse for plunging of Europe into the m horrible war in history, and an echo comes back from the Lokal Anzei that proof of England's culpabilit; is to be found in the fact that five days before the commencement of hostilities the British ambassador to Berlin discharged his female Ger man cook. Reverting for just a moment to Canada, toward which covetous Ger man eyes seem to have turned, Ii wonder whether the people of the! United States réalize what their re lations with the dominion really are, | and what change in her govern ment would mean fo the American people, From my Penusylvania home I come twice each year to tra- vel through Canada from oeean to | ocean. and this is what I find: A liberty loving, peaceful, whole hearted population of 8,000,000 peo i ple, living under a system of govern ment that comes as close as any gov ernment can to the acme of perfect- ion; loyal to and having faith in the | empire (hat gives them full measure of freedom; permits them to make | and adniinister their own laws, col lect and spend their own reve and taxes them not a single penn§| for any imperial purpose whatsoever. | -- Loyalty Of The Canadians. As testimony to their loyalty saw sail away on Thursday of last week from the port of Quebec 3 N00 soldiers, every man a willing vol unteer, to fight for the preservatior { of the British empire. Only 22,000 | men were needed to make up the first contingent, but 11,000 in addi: tion refused to be left behind, and | eagerness io join the colors. Yet, in spite of their affection for their flag and empire, people of Canada last year purchased from us more han $141,000,000 in manufactured goods, while they took from Great Britain only $131,000,000 To-day, next to Great Britain her self, Canada is our most important customer, much more important, in- deed, than all South and Central Am- erican countries combined. As a neighbor, under British rule, per haps the best evidence of the des- irability of our seeing to it that ex- isting conditions are maintained lies in the fact that for one hyndred years the two neighboring countries have remained at peace, and that not a fort worthy of the name marks the imaginery line that separates them: nor has -eifher country deemed it necessary to maintain a standing ar- my of any proportjons. With the repopulating of Canada with milliens of Germans, whose conscription service has imbued them with the military spirit, how Ing would it be before the people of the United States would be bur- defed with a 'tax for army purposes that would be staggering in its pro- portions?

The Children, By Dr. Frank Crane. A movement is on foot, headed by a committee of public minded wom- | en, to prepare a monster petition from the ¢hildren of the United States of America to the crowned heads of Europe, asking for an im- mediate armistice, the cessation of hostilities, and the submission of all | the matters in issue to The Hague tribunal. It is good Its effect, of course, will be only sentimental; but war is only that. It will be an applicat'on 6f right and helpful sentiment as an antidote to ulcerous and baleful sentiment. There 'is no good reason why the conflict should not stop right now. All talk to the efect that "Germany must be crushed" or "England must be humbled" or "France must be re- duced" is puerile. It amounts toa childish desiie to whip the other fel- low. The gratification of such a lust for mastery will cost Europe a staggering amount of lives and meo- ney. The sober, thinking folks of Ger- many, France, England, and Russia want only one thing, and that is Justice, And the idea that justice can be ground out of the battle mill is on a level with duelling and trial by fire. Utterly medieval. It will do ne harm for the little child to say as much to their majes- ties, The royal magnificiences and their bonehead counsellors may not listen; but history 'will listen --~ and record it upon her tablets. Besides, why shouldn't the next generation have its say? - Just as the divarce inclined peo- ple seem to assume that two adults | in the case, with their clash of sei- fish interests, are alone fo be consid- ered, and forget the children, who, after all, are the real sufferers in domestic contention, so nations ap- pear to think that in public matters it is only grown male adults whose intérests are to be dealt with. . - But for svart torn -body 1y- ing in the trend by the Aisne, for ay fine you fellow disembowel- ) or decapitated by field or fortress, there is heme, whom no merci- "the horror, rr ne succeeding generation, that must pay the awful cost, must bow under outs rageous taxes,-and mukt bear the hideous heritage of hate and race- Liealousy left by their forbears, now are raging in the violent pas- sions bequeathed them. 1914 is the child of 1870. 'Why should not 1914 pause and heed the cry of 1930? The eternal symphony of mankind is "Papa, Mamma, and the baby." Are two of these voices to be forever dumb?
