The Other Side Of War.

From the London Spectator.
Count Tolstoi appeals for support to the
sincere. serious. rational man. but his
appeal Is more logical If addressed to the
trifier. Let militarism. which is the de-
generation Of the fighting spirit. once be-
come a power in the land and we shall have
a guarantee of peace because the ideals
which support war will have been Destroy
ed and the last appeal of humanity turned
into a game. In a world of overgrown
ornaments and huge lifeless armies there
will be neither the impulse to fight nor any
real machinery to fight with. If we can
imagine Europe in the kind of military
strait wafstcoat which adorned the forces
that were scattered at Jena we should have
the soundest guarantee OF sodden and
hideous tranquility. Or let the nations be-
come incurably frivolous, incapable of hon.
est ambition. and therefore of honest sacrf-
flee. and we shall get the same pleasing re-
suit. Any word of war would be promptly
hushed up, for would not war disturb the
great international motor race next week
or the inter-European wrestling match
which Is fixed for the summer? The truth
of the matter is that until nationality and
national ideals are abolished and all the
races and states are fused into one to
make war impossible you must destroy not
the baser desires of man. but his essential
fdealism. If reformers are prepared to go
thus far they have logic on their side,
whatever we may think OF their wisdom;
but to counsel a universal apathy in the in
terests of truth and righteousness seems to
US neither logical nor wise.
