War Is Not Funny.

The BOokmGn, a Literary journal
published in New York, finds fun in
the present war.
There is no fun in war 1t is the
most serious pursuit in which men and
nations can engage. When iron ships
go out to sea in search of battle they
court death in thousand forms.
When'ten thousand men climb noun
tains, struggle through underground
and march through swampy grass to
shoot ten thousand others who lie in
armed anticipation of their coming;
when every hill mounts a bristling
fort with death streaming from every
side; when bayoneted men climb
fences. fall over rocky roads and rush
pellrnell in the face of an iron hail that
kills one man in ten-there IS no fun.
All over stricken Spain to-day there
are fatherless children and childless
mothers who weep for men who died
in that bloody May-day which Dewey
wrought. Already, in our country,
there are thousands of vacant chairs
that may never be refilled by their
Old-time occupants. Already from
here, there and everywhere over this
broad land there has gone soldier or
q sailor who will not come back.
Ia Havana Harbor, at San Juan, at
Cienfuegos, at Cardenas, at La Quasi
ma, the laughing lip has been stilled,
the cleaning eye forever dimmed
This is no new thing in war, and there
will be no change from it so long as
men and nations fight.
The BOokman is wrong. War is not
funny Republic.
