The intimation was that the Idealistic Philasa- events cause anybody to lose faith in humanity or in hue manity’s God.

The onty dif- ference is the magnitude of the issue at stake. * ¢ @ But perhaps there is a silver lining to the dark cloud. Per- haps the world has been get- ting too prosperous and ease- loving, and perhaps that hu- manit can only evolve toward a high ideal under strenuous circumstances. There may be too many middlemen and too many parasites on society and perhaps the only way to rid the world of these barnacles is to tear prosperity into shreds and again compel men to earn their living by the sweat of their brows. One thing is true: Hu- man struggle and self-sacrifice are never in vain. It cleanses and purifies and enobles the race and the next generation will show the results in the crop of great men that it will produce—tlike all other great wars of the past. It will also put a new life in religion and the pessimism of the past will disappear. ment of which it was eapable. The world wide clash of arms in this qay of enlightenment was a proof of this and that now humanity must agajn go around the circle, passing through another dark age of superstition and ignorance. * * @ That class of thinking will no doubt appeal to a certain class of men, as it always has. There is, however, nothing ul- * timate or final about it. This war with all its terror and dis- appointment will not neces. sarily cause this world to for- get its past nor to throw off its culture. Neither will it prevent it from taking a fresh start when the war is over and go still higher up the ladder. The chief mistake that the op- ponents make is that they think evolution should work out its goal in a few years. Rather allow it a few million years, and then perhaps a dis- tinet advance may be found. x * * But why should this war mores than a thousand other The Men At The Front Will appreciate Canada’s fiour.

Well, an exodus to Oanada, if we are to believe what James Oliver Gurwood, — the American novelist, who has spent several years in the last great west, says. Mr. Curwood is in intimate touch with the re- sources of Western Canada, and he predicts that five Germans will come to the Dominion to every one that went to the United States after the Franco-Prussian war Mr. Curwood's interesting obser- vations are as follows: “Following the signing of peace will follow an immigration move- ment that, I believe, will amaze the world. Have people forgot- ten what happened immediately after the Franco-Prussian war in 1870? Have they forgotten that three of the greatest states in the United States—Nebraska, Minne- sota and Iowa are our three great German states, and three of our richest states. The Franco-Prus- sian war made those states. And where one German sought new opportunities across the sea in those days, I look to see five come after the present war. They will not go to the United States. In spite of tremendous real estate booms in Texas and other parts of our South, I cheerfully place myself on record as saying that there are no fit lands left open in the United States. To Canada and South America must go the immigrant of the future who is seeking land on which to make a livelihood.” Along with this influx must be included that from the other countries involved in the clash, and of these iatter newcomers the Jews will form a large pro- portion. Canada will welcome the Jews, but we would weleome them far more warmly were they to de- vote their attention to the eulti- vation of the soil, but who in Canada has heard of a Hebrew farmer? FOR S.
