The present war is coining true Americans,
says the Italian weekly, the Citizen of New

the conflict is the real melting pot and
blessing to America. The editorial is a recog-

the assimilation of the heterogeneous popula-
tion which came flocking to these shores by
the millions, and asserts the present war will
coin real Americans faster than any other
process.

zation dating from centuries back. Th* present
conflict is not an exception and it is hound to
prove to be the greatest factor in directing the
future course of humanity and in effacing past
differences and prejudices.
War appears then, to a great degree, quite a
blessing for America, when you consider the
consequent practical and moral Americaniza-
tion of on*- hundred million people, bound to
act and think for a common purpose: fighting
for their country, for a permanent peace and
human civilization and for their most cherished
ideals of a liberty-loving and independent
people.
The greatest war will "coin" real Americans
faster than any other process and will eliminate
one e and forever the ingenuous thought that
peae tan be the result of pious wishes an
not the commandment of superior moral forces.
Lntil now the schools, where children of all
immigrants and Americans meet together under
the same roof and under equal methods of edu-
cation, have been the recognized official and
popular Americanization put.
No other country in the world has ever had
to contend with such an amalgamation of races
and creeds as has the United States, and the
effect of the American school system is cer-
tainly to be commended in most respects, save
for a certain lack of general discipline—toward
superiors and parents alike. The result has
been the making of w e’l-meaning but rather
vociferous and too independent American
youths. Adding to this fact an enormous influx
of adult immigrants from all lands the superfi-
cility of American sentiment and life had be-
come of late more and more violent and dan-
gerous.

The war, so far as actual fighting wvas con-
cerned, lasted a httle over on* hundred days.
American history records no campaign having
such remarkable success at such small cost of
life- on our side. The ttal loss in the army and
navy was only 402. The war exhibited the
wonderful efficiency of our new navy; it
showed what American soldiers, whether “regu-
lars* or voluuteers, may always be expected to
do; It brought Union and Confederate veterans
into service under the old fing and it illus-
trated the noble helpfulness of the Red C’ross
society and the women of America.- -Montgom-

people must be convinced of this solemn fact.
They must alsc economze, must get along
with the least possible, must subscribe to the
war loans, and must understand that who-
ever refuses credit to the government will
among other things automatically increase
the amount of paper money, increase the cost
of living, and decrease the value of Italy's
money abroad."
Sound doctrine, this. In America the food
and thrift conservationists have been preach-
ing the same idea since the war began. Presi-
dent Wilson, in his announcement regarding
the railroads, recognizes the fact that " Mi
we possess individually and nationally" must
go to make our fighting strength all the more
powerful. The opinion is ventured that the
government of the United States will be
forced to take direct control of the national
resources in food; i. e.. the packing houses,
cold storage concerns and the like, if the war
continues for any length of time. Through-
out the west industrial enterprises engaged
in the production of nonessential commodities
are being stripped for action, to quote a
seafaring term, for work in munitions and
materials for the army and navy.
I’ostmastei General Burleson has re-
peatedly discussed the advisability of the
government’s taking over the telegraphs and
telephones. While this may not be strictly a
war measure, the trend is in this direction.
All efforts in a democratic government tend
to become centralized under a single head,
which is the power of the government to
exert its will and enforce its demands.
Changes are being made so rapidly in the
management of industry and agricultural .re-
sources in the nation and the reasons for the
change are so apparent that little friction will
result.
The allied countries have long since di-
rected the vital energies of their peoples, and
as the war progresses, a similar situation will
be found in this country.

The German government is charged with
violating the terms of its armistice with Rus-
sia almost before the ink of the agreement is
dry. This should not occasion surprise: it
would be almost unbelievable if otherwise.
The German government entered into a
sacred treaty with the government of Bel-
gium. yet at the very outset of the war this
treaty was broken without any compunction.
In fact, it now appears as if Germany entered
into the treaty with a mental reservation
that, should occasion arise, it need not be
binding on the Teutons. This was Ger-
many's Second blunder. 'The first was forcing
the war.
At the very beginning of the war the sol-
diers of the kaiser, apparently following or-
ders from those in authority, adopted an in-
human policy toward neutrals and prisoners
of war, violating international law, the law
of humanity and the recognized law of war-
fare with equal celerity. This was the third
blunder made by the kaiser and his advisers.
It might have been epected that, having
gone so far. the tierman government should
not have hesitated to extend the war so that
the lives of neutrals traveling on the high
seas became unsafe. The submarine attacks
without warning upon all vessels, even those
flying the flags of neutral countries, which
came within a certain prescribed area, were
but further examples of the tierman egotism
and arrogance which held for naught every
treaty and every law which did not coincide
with present < ierman expediency. To isolate
the British isles and create a famine which
it was expected would bring Great Britain
to plead on bended knee for terms, waging
war against the women and children just as
intended by the senseless Zeppelin raids over
London, the German government was willing
i ven to arouse the United States to action
and bring into the war a power of which it
had expressed contempt, but of which it ap-
pears now to be very much afraid. This was
a fourth blunder.
For years the kaiser had carried proudly
the title of "war lord." He had come to be-
lieve he was the world's war lord, and. upon
the assumption that the king can do no
wrong, he has tried to bend the world's laws
and humanity's laws to suit his own ends.
This was his chief blunder, that he had arro-
gated to himself the province of a god.
openly’ acclaiming himself a partner of the
Almighty, that he committed sacrilege
against the Most High.
