men OF intelligence, that an occasional
war is good thing for nation, or for
this nation. to rouse Its patriotic spirit.

Its moral atmosphere. Exactly the re-
verse is true. War is not an exaitation.
It Is a debauch. II not only impairs
the material welfare of a nation. but
II dcgrades it's moral tone as well.
Most OF the industrial and social evils
from which this nation suffers to-day
are legacy from It's last war. Another

that Lieutenant Colonel Cor,ijo. wey-

The discovery OF the war supplies

that the steamer was legitimately n
