When the World War k'gan in 1914, not one American in a thousand dreamed that it could ever be any direct concern of ours. Europe was a long way off, and it was hard to see what the quarrel was all about. Our predominant emotion was a feeling of thankfulness that it did not and could not involve us. And then, in spite of ourselves, the thing began to get hold of our emotions. The unspeakable drama of Verdun and Gallipoli and the Somme began to get under our hides. We began to pass judgment on the moral issues of the ccntest. We began to get irritated at the way in which the chaotic mess slopped over on our own old privileges and rights. The whirligig turned faster and faster, and we grew more and more impassioned about it. And finally, when the German submarine campaign got going, we slid blithely over the dam. We werent taken into the war by the wiles of propagandists, munitions makers, bankers, or anyone else; we took ourselves in. We had ceased to feel neutral; eventually we stopped being neutral. If you 191 1 . the same sort of thing starting, in a modest YOU can see connection with the war in Spain.

Commander Colmery was saying that the aim of the American Legion is primarily to preserve for the liberty loving people of America the heritage handed down by the founders of the republic. 1 am not interested in saving the world for democracy, he said. T will lie damned glad if we can save America. In view of the experiment we tried 20 years ago this spring, those words are worth remembering. For in 1917 we set out bravely to save democracy and the world at large, and we wound up by losing our ideals and our shirts and by seeing both the world and democracy decline in a perilously bad state of health. So it ought to he clear to us by now that Commander Colmery has the light slant on things. We have more than enough to do at home, and any efforts we make to save democracy can best be made within our own lxmlers. Taking up arms to save democracy beyond the seas is a muggs game, at best. -- W1EAT we mean by that word, democracy, is more than a system of government under which every man has a vote. We really have in mind the whole liberal concept of society the idea that the state exists for man, and not man for the state; the belief that an excess of freedom is infinitely preferable to a deficiency of freedom; the feeling that every man has the right to live his own life as he chooses, subject only to the rule that he must resimct the rights of others. Far from being helped by the World War. this ideal has been profoundly harmed. All across Europe the lights have gone out. one by one. We have seen great nations boast that they have killed democracy and freedom; we have seen them exalt the state into a sort of god, killing off the lights of the individual (along, incidentally, with a goodly number of individuals), as if human society had no better model to copy than the society of the ants. AMERICANS, we want to see those lost ideals reASstored overseas, l.ut we should realize by now, that it is futile for us to trv to thrust them down anyones throat at the end of a rifle barrel. They just dont grow that way. Until men see for themselves that those ideals Var a bigger fruit of human happiness than any other, they will remain unconvinced. And that brings us back to Commander Colmery and his remarks about saving America. There is where our path of world usefulness lies. If we can make democrat work in a complicated, world, solve our problems without sacrificing our old liberties, and make this land in sober truth the land of promise it nas always been in legend, we shall have done our full duty. if we save democracy for the world we may, in the enu, save the world tor democracy without t ir g a single gun. v fear-haunt- ter I) C. and -- SV7?

This particular hurricane of guffaws, snorts and screeches masculine and feminine did not sound 'lit" exactly, yet it was many tones beyond the point of normal exuberance. When a waitress came around the partition with a sort of a grim smile on her face, I motioned a thumb m the direction of the tornado of sound and wagged by head inquiringly. She whispered that one of the men in the party had loft the booth for a minute and had doctored up an ice cream sundae ordered by one of his fellow diners with catsup, mustard, horseradish and whatever other seasoning materials he could find.
