And now even the Gar. the founder

How and why has this happened?
1t has happened, as il has always
happened ever since human beings
dubbed together in States.
IL has happened because we today, as
much as ever. care more for material
advantages than for beautiful abstract
ideas. An acre Of fertile land in Mid
dlesex is worth more than magnificent
estates in Utopia or castles in Spain
Not even an attempt has been made

advantages to be gained than Of the

And it is this greed for territory. so
plainly seen then. which is at the bot

These modern wars have not even
been carried on in a humane manner.
The women and children kept in con-

Both sides have used all their shdn
