If one would carefully study the
recent improvements in war apa-
ratus, which are described in cur
rent literature, he would be led to
believe that should a war break
out between any two of the great
nations the slaughter of human
life wonld be terrible, but in reality
it would be no greater than in
olden times when the fighting was
hand TO hand. AS men learn to
improve their implements of war
they also learn to keep at a proper
