nese Well, will give it to you. put
aside all the humiliations of defeat and

The war has robbed us forever of our
tranquility and our happiness. We were
happy and led simple lives; but, by
bringing to Us what you may call the
benefits of civilization, the Japan ese
will destroy our traditions and our he

conquests. And what will we gain by
that?
You fancy that the Chinese are ig-
norant, poor and wretched, but you
must remember that happiness exists in
the idea that one forms of it. In other
words, a man is happy when he believes
himself happy, when he confines his de-
sires to the few joys which are within
his reach. The peasant who eats his rice

scrupulous, loyal, sympathetic and char
liable.

certain cruelties and barbarities, but
they belong to the laws of war, which
are equally barbarous i'll all countries.
