THE BVILDER Vol. 32 PITTSBURGH, PA., OCTOBER, 1915 No. 7 call the splendid results of our war for independ PUBLISHED MONTHLY ence and our more terrible war for the preservation BY of the integrity of our nation when the blue and gray forgot their brotherhood in their loyalty to T. M. WALKER Owner their idealism. J. B. JOHNSTON Editor Many other answers can be found to speak the uncertainty of the world as to whether or no this LYCEUM BUILDING, PITTSBURGH, PA. most terrible of all wars our world has seen is to be the last great conflict of the nations. Entered at the Post office at Pittsburgh, Pa., as Second-Class Matter. Perhaps if we should consider some of the rea sons given for the present war we might be bet ter able to give a satisfactory answer. SUBSCRIPTION, INVARIABLY IN ADVANCE, ONE YEAR $3 Among the reasons presented are: 1. German imperialism and German ambition, Germany's will to win her place in the sun and Germany's ruthlessness in so doing, as witnessed THE REASON FOR WAR. by the ruin of Belgium. It is said that if Germany Is this to be the last War The question is of should achieve her aims and win the place in the ten asked and it receives many answers. Our peace- sun she so ardently desires, other nations would loving friends would have us believe that if we soon find themselves eclipsed and more than that, would lay aside our army and navy the other na finally subject to the wonderful energy and tre tions, admiring our fine example of reliance on the mendous force of the Teuton giant. So that the principles of righteousness, would do likewise and safety of the world demands an impediment placed so there could be no future war because there in the way of such a contingency. This opinion of would be nothing to fight with. Furthermore, the the nations seem justified by the facts of the war doing away with the implements of war would thus far made evident. And yet I feel sure we have show such a splendid trust in the amity and good not stated the ultimate reason for the war, will of other nations that a like feeling of peace 2. Again, many find in England's jealousy and and good will to all mankind would be aroused in alarm at Germany's marvellous commercial expan them and therefore they would, in consequence, be sion the real reason for the war. For many years ashamed of their former warlike propensities and now England has been mistress of the sea. Her would, with glad hearts and loud acclaim, herald proud title is justified by the fact that the sun the dawn of international good will, the long- never sets on her wide empire; that the numerous looked-for and earnestly prayed-for realization of colonies need the protection of the mighty fleet, the dream of all sincere admirers of the Prince of and more than all that, where English policy is Peace. What a beautiful faith in the inherent no dominant there the raaces of mankind are benefited bility of mankind shines forth in the belief of our by those ideals of justice and thrift which have pacific friends! been approved as sound by the greatest Teacher Then, again, the men of war—the men of Be the world has ever seen, the Galilean. lial, they might be termed by the pacifists—hold It is claimed that German's ideals are in direct just the opposite view and for just the opposite conflict with those of England and that the world reason. They say that since war has always ex approves our English cousins in taking up the isted in the world, due to the quite reasonable am gage thrown down by Germany when she trampled bition to make one's own national ideals paramonut, into dust and blood her Belgian neighbors, thereby or because of mankind's natural greed and the clearly outraging that sense of justice and mercy baser motives common to all, that therefore war common to mankind.
