The shell from a siege gun burst directly over the statue of Christ descending from the cross, 1eaving ruin at the feet of the Great Apostle of Peace and Love. The city was retaken by the Belgians. 76 Contemporary Judgment by American Historians Just who are to blame for beginning the war and how the blame is to be dis­ tributed can certainly not be determined now. After many decades, when all the evidence has been collected, history will assign its exalted verdict. We are but just now coming to understand through the sifting of all the evidence precisely what was involved in the wars of the early part of the nineteenth century. Nation after nation slipped into war as helplessly as logs slip over Niagara into the chasm. Reason was so slight that chance predominated. The whole hodgepodge of occurrences is rich in warning to us as a people against the dangers of alliances and even of treaties. Nations were pulled this way and that into arbi­ trary combinations by previous understandings. "\rVe have renewed reason to respect the wisdom of Washington, who warned us against entangling alliances, and renew~ reason to stand by our Monroe Doctrine. We have further to learn that we cannot expect universal and wholesale peace in this world. Certainly we cannot expect to secure it by concatenations of treaties. Treaties between states pair by pair have proved more a danger than a safeguard. What we need is an international clearing house, made up of eight or ten great nations, who shall constitute a forum in whose presence every treaty shall be registered, so that treaties and understandings may become matters of the great whole world. We have reached a warlike epoch in the history of the world, and it is an epoch determined by racial readjustments at certain sensitive spots on tha world's crust. As against the tremendous force of this inevitable tendency the cold form of legal­ ity as represented in the customary devices of arbitration is utterly hopeless. For the great overflow which arbitration cannot deal with the arbitrament of the sword is inevitable. In the place of petty arbitrations the world must establish one central clearing house and one central policing of the world. BENJAMIN IDE \VHEELER, LL.D., Litt.D., Ph.D., President of University of California. It is utterly irrational to labor for fifty years to build up a system of inter­ national exchange, creating a world of credit sensitive as a spider's web, and then to destroy that credit in order to achieve economic advance. It is absurd for armed , men aiming at each other's hearts to call on the same God to make their aim true and send their bullets home. The old polytheism was more consistent. When the Goths and Vandals sacked Rome they did not ask the Roman gods to help them do it. It is absurd that modern science should arm one section of humanity with weapons intended to cripple and kill, and another section with surgical in­ struments and drugs intended to heal. It is preposterous to exhaust the resources of applied science in creating machine guns to vomit lead, and at the same time send out an army of doctors and nurses to heal the wounds we ourselves have lnade. We can call home the Red Cross or we can call back the mailed fist; but to send them both at the same time, and in ever increasing numbers, is sheer unreason. WILLIAM H. P. -FAUNCE, LL. D., D. D., President of Brown University. 77 T l 1 Photograph f rom collection of International News Service. Copyright. 1914. B RITISH TROOPS ON BATTLEGROUNDS IN FRANCE-Photograph taken in northern France showing a file of English soldiers lying in shallow trenches awaiting the coming of the gray-clad German troops of invasion. In the foreground is seen the deadly machine gun whose continuous stream of bullets mowed down the enemy's ranks like a scythe. 78 CHAPTER III The Crisis in World Politics - and the Battlefields of Diplomacy HE crisis in world politics- and the forebodings of a world war-were ill omens that had been hanging like a blood-red cloud over the nations for a generation. Statesmen frequently issued their warnings in the halls of legislation; while novelists described it in prophetic fiction, with stirring scenes of battles in the T air and under the seas. Military men drank toasts to "The Day" and the ""War of To-morrow." Humanitarians labored diligently to avert it with peace societies and tri­ bunals-and believed that the Great Crisis would finally be fought out in the Temple of The Hague by the world's statesmen rather than at the point of the sword. But all the while, day and night, the anvils and forges of the nations were shaping the armaments and creating gigantic fighting machine for the day of doom. That a crisis was approaching was never doubted. The only questions were. when and how will it arrive- and in what manner will it be mel? What nations will be im·olved- if there be war? ""hich will be the conquerors and whieh the conquered? .And what will b<· its effect upon civilization? We have seen in the preceding chapters how this Great \Yar is the result of essential and fundamental causes that have been indicated, and \'\·hich will become further apparent in the perspective of years; and how it is the natural consequence of political polieies that have long been creating an economic condition that sooner or later must meet the supreme test.

  • 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.
