This is a matter OF dep interest

Thousands OF active, thinking be

other thousands arr, manned, horribly
manglcd, many Of them for liz.
Widows and orphans are made by the
hundred thousands: countless mill
ions of wealth are destroyed, and
gaunt poverty and Indebtedness stalk
through many sections Of ,l.v land.
Yet, with all this. war is :, neccs-
sary incideu; of human society -
without it, society would stHguat-.

as war. I, has been said by ceIr-
