WE USED to speak qf Turkey as the "Sick Man of Europe.” To day all the nations of Europe— victors and vanquished in the great war—are sick—woefully and dangerously sick. There Is a cure for this sickness, but It Is not to be found In the chancelleries, where Jealously and hatred, suspicion and land lust still prevail. 'It Is a cure that must start at the bottom and progress upward. It will never begin at the top. The reason for this Is evident. The diplomats do not know what Is the matter with them; the common people are beginning, dimly, to understand. How sick Is Europe? In some cases nigh unto death. Take Aus tria! One can almost hear the death rattle! And Hungary Is almost as bad! To the people of this once powerful dual monarchy life has be come a pitiful struggle for existence. Confidence In the world—and In one another—has been lost. The peas ants hate the dethroned nobility, and those who attempt to rule can barely keep their feet on the edge of the precipice, owing to their sick and reeling brains! Aye, Austria and^ Hungary are sick. And In all the Jilgh places of Europe there are no physicians to heal them! Germany is sick! How sick only those who know and understand her Inner life can realize. Germany is suffering from a fever that mounts to dangerous heights. Bhe Is sick mor ally and physically. She Is still suf fering from the moral poison Instilled into her blood by the Nietzsches and Von Bernhardts—and, physically, she Is on the verge of collapse! Russia in ueitriums. Russia Is slek! Just now the fever In her blood has developed Into a case of blood pressure and uncontrollable delirium. Russia's illness began a blood lust that still resists all efforts to reduce it. Russia is sick on theories. The mtnd of Russia—or rather the minds of its self con stituted rulers—conceived an idea of government that only a mentally sick man could conceive. This idea of government has made an entire na tion sick. There is a cure for this illness, but the nature of the cure has not yet dawned upon the men who have supplanted the czar. France is sick. France’s sickness might be described as "exaggerated fear”—fear of a restored and revenge ful Germany; fear and suspicion of Great Britain dominating the world— and especially the Near East. Fear of Germany has led France to insist on immediate reparation, when it would be to her real interest to await the time when sick Germany has re covered her health. The sickly fear of British dominance in the Dardan elles has caused France to take an attitude that in the future will re turn again and again to plague her. Kemal’s destruction of the Greek armies, made possible, it is charged, largely by French guns and ammuni tion, will be regretted in gallant France long after that brave people has returned to normal health! Italy is sick! Between the radical ague and the fascisti fever, she is fighting for her life. Her leniency with Mustapha Kemal will not save her. Badly is Italy in need of a physician. Britain Sick of War. Great Britain is sick from high taxes and much blood letting, and doubly sick from the loss ofViarkets made inevitable in the aftermath of the great war. If she has been will ing to forget Germany’s wrong doing it has been because she realizes that under normal conditions Germany is a great market, and the “Tight Little Isle” cannot exist without Interna tional trade. At the Dardanelles, Great Britain has tried to prove that she was atill hale and hearty by in terposing a barrier between Turkey and Europe; but the people have been too sick of war to show any enthus iasm for a new war in Asia. Turkey seems to have had a tem porary return to health. But this is deceptive. Vurkey is still an Invalid. Her sickness verges on insanity. The killing of Armenians, Greeks and other Christians in Smyrna revealed how sick she really is. She may get Eastern Thrace and Adrianople. but this will not make her well. The In sanity of blood lust and religious hatred will remain to plague her and to sap her vitality. Aye, they are all sick—these fuss ing, scheming nations! Each one, in Its delirium, is openly or surrepti tiously antagonizing the others. The hatreds engendered by racial sickness are almost unbelievable. Some of the diplomats would cut each other’s throate^-only It would be such bad form! Lauder's Prescription. Of course, this European epidemlo of sickness cannot go on intermin ably. There must be an end to It sometime. And what that end will be unless the one and only remedy Is found, is not difficult to Imagine. Chaos faeces several of the once powerful nations of Europe. They are. Indeed, sick unto death! No mere financial assistance will mate rially help. The sickness Is too chronic to insure a return to health by gold and credit alone. The only thing that can save Eu rope is a new renascence of brotherly love. The only thing that can pre vent Armageddon Is a new under standing between the people's of Eu rope and the transmission of this understanding to the ruling chancel leries—whether they are dominated by kings, presidents or prime min isters! The world is sick for charity—not the charity of the purse, but the charity that spells L-O-V-E. Even we of the Anglo-Saxon tongue are apt to forget what the other fellow suffered. If we could visualize more clearly, and with more heart, the sufferings of France in the great war—her desolated towns and her [ decimated population—and would evidence this in a little more brother ly love, we would help France to re gain the highway to health. Inci dentally that would be a panacea for some of our own ills. If the people of France could for get their bitterness—their sense of outrage—their smouldering hatred— and remember that, even in Germany, there were rrdthers who loved their boys and who wept in loneliness when they lost them on the field of battle— if they could only realize that Ger many and the German people were never so sick as when they were at war—they would create a new feeling between the nations—a feeling of charity that woirid go far toward curing their own malady and have its reaction across the Rhine. If Germany, by an infusion of kind ly sympathy, -could see the shell furrowed plains of France, the im poverished, saddened peasants, the ravaged cities, pity that is akin to love would dissipate the feeling of hatred and the desire for revenge that holds both nations in the thrall of deadly anticipation. The same would be true of all the other “sick men” of Europe. Jeal ousy and hatred and mortal fear have gotten under their skins. Envy of the other fellow has become an ob session. Warehouse Holds Relics, From the New Orleans Picayune. There Is an army warehouse at New ark Bay, N. J., covering 130 acres, which la full ef war relics. In this great build ing are 2,197 pieces of artillery, 4,000 ve hicles, 70,000 rifles, 10,000 machine guns and other equipment total 841,117 pieces ranging from 60 centimeter guns to 249, 708 helmet ornaments. The Germans who had dealings with the American forces seem to have had much trouble with their hats. As one doughboy remarked in an Interview tfpon his return to the United States: "Whenever we wanted hel mets we sent ft lot of fellows out with rakes." However, he did not speak of them usually as helmeth. preferring to fcall them "German bone bowl,” a term that was almost official in many Amer lean units. The question Just now is how much longer Is the government going to keep all these war souvenirs housed at New ark Bay? It seem * to be generally agreed that they should be distributed through out the states and territories, and leg islation providing for such a distribution has been before congress for some time. Under a plan of distribution favored by the American Legion and the war de partment, each city and town would re ceive an allotment of trophies in propor tion to the number of *nen they had in all branches of service. That seems to be about as fair an arrangement as could be found, and the fact that it is the system approved by the legion should be sufficient recommendation. The souvenirs were bagged by the veterans themselves, and they really are their property. Suggestions that this equip ment be sold are next to ridiculous, even disregarding the rights of the sol diers. It would only bring junk prices. There are enough of these war trophies to supply every city and town with something and they will be much more valuable on display In local communi ties than kept in a government ware house.

The president of the Chicago Board of Trade says prohibition has lowered the price of grain, the inference being that the bear gamblers haven’t. That Is what the brewers and distillers began telling us about prohibition 30 years ago, while first one state and then another went "dry.” Notwithstanding, grain prices on the whole continued to advance further than they receded in the quarter century preceding the war. Sines that time the world has never seen such extreme need for breadstuffs and hasn’t enough to eat today. The California grape growers supposed of course that national prohibition would render their vineyards useless. In stead the demand for unfermented grapejulce, and the wider use of raisins as a food, requires them to grow five or six times as many grapes as formerly were turned Into wine. In the same way the use of corn and malt grains has multiplied. Malted milk has an enormous sale. John Barlycom as a grain buyer never has been missed. The loss of his trade by farmers was almost Immediately compensated for by an improved Amer ican standard of living, coincident and consequent upon the lessening of the drink evil.
