Some one said the other day

that the present war will pre-
pare the way for “the British
people to control the world.”

Were that the issue, then, in-
deed, had the crucified nations
of Britain and of the world suf-
fered in vain and wasted their
life for nought. Prophecies in
the Old Testament are inter-
preted to mean the reunion of
the United States of America
with the nations and countries
of the British Empire into one
gigantic world-power, whose
word would be law and whose
force would beat down resist-
ance. The dream is vain.
. ere

But were that dream to come
true it would be a world-calam-
ity more tragic than the war
itself. There must be no
world-mastership by any na-
tion: not German, not Russian,
not Oriental, not American,
and, please God, not British.
No nation is good enough to
stereotype the national aspira-
tions of humanity. No race is
pure enough to make its life-
blood the motive-power of all
the world. No people are so
near perfection that their cul-
ture is fit to dominate civiliza-
tion. When any nation sets it-
self to mould all peoples after
its own fixed type the Great
Lord God does as He has done
many times in history: He
smashes the pattern and be-

gins again.

World-power has wrought the
downfall of many an empire.
By that sin Germany today be-
gins to totter to its fall. There
was a place for Germany, a
great place in the sun. It was
the place of service: service to
the minds of men, in delivering
them from the false philoso-
phies as Kant and Hegel had
already done: service to the
bodies of men, in making the
mysteries of nature yield their
secrets for human good: ser-
vice to all the nations of all the
world, in making the brother-
hood of man in the neighbor-
hood of races the supreme
policy of statesmanship. That
matchless place history
might have been

How then can Britain hope to

Canadians Ask for Cigarettes—

London, 20.—A Cana-
dian officer, writing from the
front, says:

“A smoke at night now is a

great comfort, and it is hard to
do without one. Possibly we are
not entitled to anything from the
Imperial govetnment or from
British newspapers, but the Ca-
nadian government evidently has
not provided for us in this way.”
He goes on to point out that
English Tommies get as many as
70 to 100 cigarettes a week in ad-
dition to tobacco, while in their
own particular case, for instance,
twenty smokes is all they have
received. ;
