TIIE REVIEW: REIDSVTLL E, N. C.
WILSON COULD BRING PEACE
THE POPE COULD NOT DO SO
The pope ca not make peace. With
all duo respect to his statesmanship,
to his great moral and religious in
lluience, tht pope alone cannot bring
a mad world to its senses. He can
aid irreatlY: Indeed, his assistance
cannot be overestimated. He can
accelerate peace. As he very sagely
told, you two years ago, "peace will
not come until all the world talks
peace." The pope can force discus
sion of peace. Through hla religious
and moral appeals to the peoples of
the different countries he oam bring
pressure to bear on governments and
force, the di'sclosure of motives for
continuing the war. But his holi
ness qannot compel obstinate gov
ernments to listen or force sinister
tspirite in every country to hesitate in
their work of " human destruction.
There has been but one man during
the entire war who could do that,
there is but one man today who can
do that; that mam to not the pope
that man la Mr. Wood row Wilson,
President of the United States. When
President Wilson raises his hand and
says "it has gone Car enough; I com
mand peace!" the slaughter will cease
The war wilL. end. There ia not a
goverameat which could say no!
'There Is not one whfch would dare
say no! The war will end when Pres
ident Wilson gives the signal for it
to end or go to utter exhaustion or
, the point of revolution la reached by
the peoples."
This is the statement made to me
by Maximilttan Harden m the last talk
I had with him before leaving Ger
many). Harden ts both famed and
excoriated ia Germany aB "Wilson's
friend." There Js today not even In
the United States a man who has
quite the exalted opinion of President
Wln or the unshaken belief in
the role that "destiny has designed for
your President" that MaxtniUlian Har
den has.
Many Germans privately denounced
the sinking of the Lusltania. Harden
was the oaly man to have the moral
courage to publicly denounce it, the
keen political judgment to foresee and
predict the consequences. President
Witeon's greatest champion here at
home has not fought for the President
as Maxmilian Harden has fought for
him in Germany.
Few foreigners, certainly no Ameri
can, know Harden as intimately as
I do. The contents of three letters
written to me after I left Germany
and seized by the censor were the
clinching cause for the suppression
of his magazine and his drafting1 for
civil military service as copyist. Last
fall Harden wrote a letter to me which
he published in the Zufiuneft, result
ing In the confiscation of that number
and prohibition of its circulation.
I was to have a last talk with Har
den that I called on him at his little
villa In the Gruenewald (Green for
est) . We discussed peace, the possi
bilities of when and how it could come
and the "logical peacemaker." It was
then that he made the remarks quot
ed, :,
"The duration of the war lies In the
hollow of President Wilson's hand."
declared Harden. "When he sees fit
to stop it, if ever he does now, he cam
do so. The pope is influential morally
but could succeed only when the stage
of exhausion Is reached. Ttre obsti
nate governments, disregarding the
cravings of their peoples, will listen
respectfully to the pope, but be little
influenced by him. Between the in
ternal pressure of the peoples and the
pressure from the oustide from Pres
ident Wilson no government could re
sist and remain.
"When America speaks through Mr,
Wilson the press may bluster and
mock, but the people listen. When
Mr. Wilson commands 'cease firing'
the rattle of machine guns will ceiase,
he big guns will suddenly become
. Bamb.
"And In the sudden and annormal
stillness and silence the moans and
the wails and prayers of a suffering
and bleeding Europe will arise and be
heai-d for the first time. Blind and
Iwtred artificially created, will dis
appear, passions subside and reason
return. Europe will be appalled by
what it has done and allowed Itself
to be led into. Cabinets today are
trembling at the mere thought" of the
'da.ys of reckoning.'
"I have Maintained from the first
and I maintain today that the fate of
the war end the period of its duration
i' in too hands of one man President
Wilson. There will be talk of the
vope, there will be talk of the king of
Spain, and there will be talk of neu
trals driven to desperation, but Pres

world who can end the war before It

thralls the peoples and drives them to

"It Is merely a question of when
President Wilson considers that the

konor of the American people and the
dignity of the American nation make
it compatible for him to exercise. the

President Wilson waits until the war
reaches the stage of exhaustion or re
volt, compelling the btlllgerent na
tions la Europe to stop and 'get to
gether.' he will have missed his role.""
Harden said he could duly under-,
stand that President Wilson could
never take any action which had any
semblance or could bt contsrued that
America had weakness and backed
"America must maintain it& honor,
must uphold its national dignity and
prestige, but I hope It may not be
misled into that obsolete and hair
drawn conception of 'national honor'

which has worked such misery and
mischfef In Europe," declared Harden
In the days of Eutopian security be
fore the wclr, any person who advo
cated war was looked upon as being a
criminal; today the advocate of peace
is denounced a being a coward and
worse than a criminal," he added pes
simistically. Harden, I might add, is
not a pacifist in the general meaning
of that term.
Harden contended that the fact
America had entered the war in no
way eliminated President Wilson from
taking the initiative towjard peace.
"Peace between Germany and Amer
ica mtans peace between Germany! and
the world." Without the lead of Mr.
Wlilson, certainly not without the ac
tive support and cooperation of the
President of the United Stateg, peace
cannot be had," insisted Harden,
1 Hard en frankly declartd he did not
believe the newspaper dispatches that
Wilson wanted to crush Germany.
"President Wilson is- too wise a
man for that," he said. "The humt
ElUion of Germany would make for
anything except durable peace."
Neither did Harden, believe Presi
dent Wilson would set as his aim the
abdication of the kaiser. "There Is no
demand for that among the German
people at this time. Such talk," he

Expressing confidence In the sound
ness of the character of the Russian
people for self-government, Elihu
Root, head of the special diplomatic
mission to Russia in v two addresses
here today at this city's official re
ception to the mission, , denounced
the part played in that country dur
ing its time of peril by "men corres
ponding to the I. W. W. here, the
extreme Socialilss and anarchists with
whom the German agents made corn

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who also
spoke at the meetings, first at City
Hall and then at the chamber of Com
merce, likewise declared that "organ
izations like the I. W. W.,are crim
inally aiding German propaganda In
this country," adding:
"Let us make those who oppose
obstacles to the success of the war
fetol that they afre unhung traitors."
He further said that "until the
United States has placed 5,000,000
men in the fighting line we will have
no right to consider ourselves as
standing level with Canada in this
fight for democracy," and advocated
the putting of American soldiers "in
masses on which ever front they are
most needed."

in America was as tyrannous a that of
Russia under the Czar.
"Into this confusion was thrust a
great German propaganda that sent
money like water, using millions to
bribe the people and to buy newspa

at the front and said: 'This was the

Summer Complaint,
During the hot weather of the sum
mer months some member of almost
every family is likely to be troubled
with an unnatural looseness of the
bowels, and it Is of the greatest Im
portance that this be treated prompt
ly, which can only be done when the
medicine Is kept at hand. Mrs. P. F.
Scott, Scottsville, N. Y states: "I
first used Chamberlain's Colte and
Diarrhoea Remedy as much as five
years ago. At that time I had a se
vere attack of summer complaint and
was suffering intense pain. One dose
relieved me. Other members of my
family have since used it with like
results."
When people find their appfctite
off, vitality low, and are sluggish,
tired, and worn-out, a short treat
ment with just plain, everyday natur
al iron is the wisest course.
You can get nautral iron, known as
Acid Iron Mineral at most drug
stores and a fifty cent bottle goes
from two to sx times as ar as other
and weaker iron compounds of labor
atory and chemist.
A dollar bottle will permit a whole
family to take it a couple of weeks
which in its powerful highly concen
trated form is useually sufficient to
Increase the family's vitality, strength
and appetite in a truly wonderful
manner.
Acid Iron Mineral has been bottled,
tested, and guaraneed up to Its pres
ent high standard for thirty years
for use n hospitals, sufrgry, and
dental work, and it may now be se
cured in family sized bottles. Be
sure you get the genuine, the trade
mark "A I M" is your protection. It
is non-alcoholic, is not a laxative, and

Note. Acid Iron Mineral contains
Buch a high percentage of iron, It
may be used as an external germicide,

bleeding, prevent soreness, and as a
healing agent.
