(206) Contemporary Judgment by American Historians Condemnation of the war-fanatics who sow the seed and are reaping the han·est of international hate. Abhorrence of autocracy everywhere; but mosl intC'nse abhorrence of it where culture and enlightenment make it mo. t of an anachronism. Pity for the millions of artisans and peasants who are driven like cattle to slaughter; for their widows, parents and orphans left in desolation; and for the physical, mental and moral deterioration of the contending nations. Ad­ miration for the soldiers of all nations who freely put country before life; and for the statesmen of whatever nations have looked beyond their own immediate ad­ ,·antage to the ultimate effect of their action on humanity. Determination to establish courts and treaties which shall brand the nation that rushes into war "·ithout appeal to the judgment of di interested parties as an outlaw among I1ations, :md an enemy of the human race. Hope that the perfection of the machinery of murder will make men revolt from the cruelty of using it. Trust that increasing international brotherhood in industry, trade, art, society and religion will speedily eradicate the brutal instincts on which the war-fever feeds. These are the senti­ ments with which Americans contemplate the horror of this needless, u eles ~ , "·icked, wanton war. WILLIA:Vl De\VITT HYDE, LL.D., D.D., S.T.D., President of Bowdoin College (Maine). Incredulity, horror, despair, have been the dominant emotions the last month. It seemed incredible that civilization should revert to barbarism for the method of settling its differences-that the difficulty between Austria and Servia, entirely possible of adjustment by arbitration, should be the occasion for a great war. The incredible happened, and horror and despair followed. The sense of horror deepens as the war becomes a terrible reality, but despair is giving way to the conviction that good must come, eventually, even out of this world-wide disaster. It is not unreasonable to hope, and to believe, that this will be the last great war of this so-called cit"':h'zed world. The awful waste, economic and human; the pulling down of the fabric, material, social, intellectual and moral, that civilization has built up by the slow work of generations; the setting back of the progress of the world, will be apparent as never before, and even ruthless ambition, greed and race hatred "'ill be held in check by the keener realization of the tremendous loss involved. And a new force must be reckoned with, also, as never before. This is· not a people's war; the people have had little or nothing to do with its making. In­ dustries paralyzed and destroyed, homes wrecked, thousands upon thousands of lives sac1ificed-and to what end? That is the question that will unite humanity and win untold multitudes to the cause of international peace. This is not a people's war; neither is it a women's war. Women have had little to do with the making of wars;-they have had much to suffer from the wars that have been made. The old argument that women should have no voice in government, because they could not bear arms to defend it, will give place to the new argument that they should have a voice, because their united voices will be for peace. It is not of slight significance that women representing all the warring nations can march side by side in a great peace parade. It is rather symbolic of the attitude of women on this great question, an augury of a happier future. MARY E. WOOLLEY, LL.D., President of Mount Holyoke College (Massachusetts).

  • Alexander Johnston: an Appreciation
    ALEXANDER JOHNSTON: AN APPRECIATION BY RICHARD P. MCCORMICK Dr. McCormick is Professor Emeritus of History and University Historian at Rutgers University CENTURY ago few American historians enjoyed a larger reputation than Alexander Johnston of the Rutgers College Aclass of 1870. As the Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Economy at the College of New Jersey (Princeton University) and as the author of several highly praised books and innumerable articles, he had, within the span of a decade, achieved more than most scholars could expect to accomplish over a full lifetime. In 1889, at the age of forty, he was dead. Although his writings continued to go through successive reprintings long after his un- timely death, he is now an all but forgotten figure. But his brief career was so remarkable that it merits recounting here. Little information is available on Johnston's early years.1 He was born in Brooklyn, New York, on April 29, 1849, the son of Samuel G. Johnson and his wife, Matilda McAlan. His father served in the army during the Civil War and later moved to Illinois, leaving young Alexander and his mother in the care of an uncle, John McAloney, in Brooklyn. Johnston attended the Brooklyn Poly- technic Institute, where he was an outstanding student, and entered Rutgers College in 1866.2 He arrived as the College was embarking on a period marked 1 There is a brief biography in the Dictionary of American Biography by James A. Woodburn who, after Johnston's death, revised and kept in print some of his works. J. Hampden Daugherty, a New York lawyer and reformer, published an extended memorial address, but it is quite unreliable in many particulars and should be consulted with caution.
