THE PESSIMIST
The display of pessimism since the war situa
tion began taking on an ominous look has been of a
character to try the patience of all patriotic Amer
icana. The pessimist is disposed to exaggerate all
possible danger and to minimize all conditions of
safety. The characteristics of this pest for the
pessimist Is nothing short of that have been
treated in a delightfully keen and Incisive way by
The Christian Science Monitor, which says that
one of his favorite processes of arousing his coun
trymen to a true sense of their peril Is to tell them
that the coasts of the country are not protected,
which Is not true; to tell them that the great mar
itime 'cities of the country are not defended, which
Is not true; to tell them that the Navy would be
useless In case of war, which is not true; to tell
them that, for want of a great, organized, trained,
disciplined, efficient army, the country would be
at the mercy of an Invading foe, which is not true;
and to tell them that the PreHident, his Cabinet,
Congress, the m Hilary and naval commanders, the
National Guard, the people, are unfit to meet a
great criHis, because they are not uniformed, hel
meted, accoutered and Iron-crossed, which Is
miles and miles from the truth.
In an analytical mood, our Ronton contempo
rary finds the underlying trouble with the pes
simist to be that he does not understand, and
seems Incapable of comprehending, that "the Uni
ted States was never intended to be, is not now,
and never will be, while the ideals of its founders
survive, a warlike or a warring Nation. Funda
mentally, its Institutions are based upon concep
tions of government which are the very antitheses
of militarism. Nothing could be farther from its
aspiration, more remote from Its purpose, than
that it should wax powerful through strife, or be
come the mother of a race of swashbucklers."
The pessimist sees in universal training the de
livering over of this country to militarism. There
is no danger of that. Universal training would
make a stronger race of the coming generation
of Amerclans. but It would not necessarily leave
the sword in their hand, for, when the task which
seems to face It now is completed, "it will not
only lay down its arms figuratively," as suggested
by The Monitor, but "actually." No doubt we
shall find history repeating Itself, and the country
would be as unprepared for war afterward as it
was before, "because it has no idea of indulging
in permanent militarism." "Its theory of National
culture, usefulness and responsibility," says The
Monitor, "cannot be reconciled , with the view of
the militarist, for the one Is repugnant to the oth-

THE RED CROSS
Charlotte will be incorporated Into an Important
unit in the great scheme of the American Red
Cross in preparation for the Eventuality of war.
It Is an elaborate plan, providing, as it does, the
services of nurses for an army of a million men.
There are already enrolled for aotive service in
this country almost 3,000 graduate nurses and
ovef 10,000 doctors and surgeons. These are or
ganized and ready for work. This organization of
doctors and nurses will be augmented by the vol
unteer associations now springing up all over the
country, Charlotte being one of the bases of or
ganlzatlon. In addition to the graduate nurses
there is a large body of "apprentices," holders of
elementary certificates, who can be pressed into
service as assistants, so that even now there are
7,000 nurses available for hospital and field. The
general scheme of organization, as explained in
The New .York Post, indicates that 26 base- hos
pitals, each of 600 beds, have been organized In
various cities. Their total cost Is between $300,
000 and $40.0,000. Twenty of these are ready for
service, completely equipped and fully manned.
These units will call for 1,250 nurses and 899
nurses' aids. All lied Cross nurses, surgeons, and
nurHes' aids have received, or are now receiving,
Immunity treatment for typhoid fever. All have
also passed physical examinations. In addition
to these army hospital units, the Red Cross is now
organizing 31 Navy detachments of 20 nurses
each. Emergency detachments of nurses are also
planned, which can be sent to relieve units on
service or to meet special needs. In case of war
all these units will be taken over by the Govern
ment and become parts of the. medical depart
ments of the Army and Navy. Until then they
must be maintained entirely at the expense of the
American Red Cross.
There is no known Influence which so exerts It
self to alleviate the horrors of war as the American
Red Cross. It has performed a noble service of
humanity, particularly in the war now going on in
Europe, and it will be in position to render a vast
greater service to our own people in case of war
with Germany. That this organization is perfect
ing its plans on a larger and more effective scale
than ever before undertaken must be regarded as
one of the mitigating circumstances of an antici
pated time of need.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels is to ask. Congress
to make an Increase of five dollars a month In the
pay of all enlisted men. This would enable such
as have families to send home a larger amount,
and besides, would have a tendency to accelerate
the work of enlistment, which has been increasing
at a satisfactory rate within the past few weeks.
PUTTING 'EM ON
The calling out of the National Guards in many
States to serve as police for bridges, munition
factories and Government properties indicates the
precautions the Government Is taking against dep
redations by spies. The country seems to be In
tire midst of war times, even If no declaration has
yet been made.

NEWSPAPER SENTIMENT
TOE PARIS BREAD OF 1870.
(From Tha Christian Science Monitor.)
Many French families still keep under glass a
piece of the black bread on which Paris fed dur
ing the siege. It was with bread, in which rice
and oats mixed with bran and starch took the
place of flour, that Paris, with a population of
2,000,000 Inhabitants, held out for 140 days. The
fuel difficulty was the worst, and it led to the cut
ting down of the trees and the dragging up of the
asphalt of the streets. These are memories which
make Parisians accept the stale bread and lack of
coal of 1917 with a smile. "We haven't got there
yet," they remark; though Poulbot does make one
of his gamins gleefully say to his grandfather,
"And where do you come in now with your 1870
stories!"
A BEAUTIFCfj ACT.
(From The Pnlladelphla Record.)
The greater part of the fortune left by the late
Oscar G. Murray, formerly president of the Balti
more & Ohio Railway, is devoted to the establish
ment of a home for widows and orphans of the
company's employes. It was a beautiful act by
a man who had attained eminence ln the railroad
business for the families of the railroad men who
had not attained eminence and a competence. In
no other country do the rich men do as much for
the aid of the needy, for relief, for education, for
religion, art, public parks and all means of re
lieving suffering, and promoting the good of the
community.
