1t is a serious question whether the
Hague treaty promotes the ends desired.
1t is favored by many humane persons
because they hope it will make war less
terrible. Others equally humane con-
tend that the more terrible war is, the
more care nations will take to AVOID it,
but there is no doubt that the most hu-
name motives prompted the senators to
ratlfy the treaty.
