The look of things In Europe Is
more warlike and threatening, these
days, than at any time since the
World war. Yet a betting man
might very well feel inclined to
gamble that there won't really be
another world war, after all. The
situation probably looks darker than
It really Is.
The most encouraging factor Is
that underneath their bluster and
big talk, the statesmen of Europe
are scared to death.
For one thing, the memory ol 1914
is too close. The jar that sent the
world sliding Into war in that year
was actually much less severe than
some of the shocks Europe has had
lately; but while today's statesman I
may paly with the word "war," he
knows from actual experience what
the word really means —something
his predecessors of 23 years ago did
not know. It makes a world of dif-
ference.
The Europe of 1914 had not seen
a large-scale war for more than 40
years. There had been time for a
romantic and unreal Idea about war
to be built up. The horrible calam-
• ity that war brings had grown hazy
and Indistinct in men’s minds. Eu-
rope slid into war easily because no
one really knew just what war was
going to mean.
It's different now. The dictators
may fume and bluster and strut,
their massed troops may be cheered
to the echo by hysterical throngs—
but down underneath ail of them
know precisely what is involved. Not
while the World war generation is
still alive will any European nation
go to war as blithely and irrespon-
sibly as the nations went in 1914.
There is another thing—the spec-
ter of revolt, which has a way of
materializing out of the smoke and
darkness of a long war. No dictator
wants that specter raised! no dic-
tator can forget that war is likely
to raise it. Kings and emperors last
their crowns because of the World
war; would dictators be apt to fare
any better in another world war? I
They would not—and they know it.
And if that thought holds back
the dictatorships, it also holds back
the democracies. For democracy,
like monarchy, showed a tendency
to collapse during and after the last
war. It might survive another such
strain and it might not. No democ-
racy is likely to take the risk if it
can possibly, avoid it.
On the surface, these fears do not
seem to have much effect. The Jap-
anese are involved in war in China, j
and the Germans, Russians and
Italians are playing with fire in
Spain. The Mediterranean "anti-
piracy" naval program offers innu-
merable chances for war-making ac-
cidents and collisions. Warlike talk
was never more common.
But down underneath there are
these restraining influences—unseen
but powerful. They explain why the
momentous events of the last two or
three years, which looked so much
like war, did not actually bring war.
And they give one reasonable
grounds for hoping that what is
happening now will not mean war
either.
Europe simply cannot afford an-
other war. And Europe knows it.

been unsatisfactory and inaccurate and, therefore, the highest

Eyes that strain and squint, fighting
for clear vision, are not efficient
eyes. The very effort they exert in
piercing “overbrightness" or glare
means a drain of vital nervous en-
ergy that rightfully belongs to other
parts of the body. Such eyes need
the protection of neutral, glare re-
ducing lenses like Soft-Ute Lenses
