WAR and rumors of more
war are the chief topics Of in
tcrest to the reading world
and this is the twentieth cen
fury Of the Christian era. The
prospects once rosy, Of time
when peace would be univer-
sal and permanent has become
decidedly blue, and the stern
arbitrament of war for the
settlement of serious intcrna-
tional differences is not abol-
ishcd. The martial spirit APP
pears necessary for the life Of
a nation, if it has proved the
death of nations as often as
has the lack Of it. The hor-
rors Of war are, forgotten in
feelings Of resentment and
the contemplation Of military
glory. The spirited youth
loves war for the excitement
and the scope it gives to his
untricd energies, and the wo-
men clap their hands in de-
light, when in peace, a mar
shalled host passes in grand
review. Surely the German
soldier must have been oor-
rect when he said CATER all,
after love, what is more at
tractivc to the human heart
than WARP"
