Men began to have clearer conception of
their own dignity and to chafe at the re-
stricted limits of castle walls; to enter into
closer relationship with their fellowmen, and
to take more extended view of things. The
intercourse between nations became less
restricted. They no longer fought for ambi-
ton, or for revenge, but combined in con-
tending for whatever was conducive to the
universal good.
Notwithstanding the many vicissitudes
due to her position the Ate of Europe,
France is incontestab1y the pre-eminent
figure in European history, and interest in
her affairs is intensified by the fact that the
future career of every nation was, to ap-
probable extent, involved in her Hundred
Years War; of which Orleans was the
crucial event, and the Maid of Orleans

dependence of the French nation was res

had the English been victorious at Orleans no
earthly power could have prevented France
from becoming a second Ireland, and civil

French influence over the arts, the literature,
the manners, customs, and observances of
modern society.

question at issue is so great that have felt
justified in descending to the root of the mat
ter, in order to show the utter absurdity OF
my opponents contention that civilization is
not indebted to war and, with history in my
hands, feel that I may, with IMMUNITY,
challenge the gentleman to point out any
period, however short, when war was not a
strong rampant against imminent dangers,
and a powerful remedy applied to intolerab1e
evils.
And just here let me make my own posi-
ton Enthusiastically clear. While 1 contend
that the appeal of battle is occasionally un-
avoidab1e, and altho 1 believe that, Under
certain conditions, peace may be a curse
rather than a blessing, AM NOT AN ADVO-
CATE OF INDISCRIMINATE WARFARE.
1 regard armed force as terrible agency, and
form al war a deplorable necessity, to be IN
voked only in extreme cases when the
inalienab1e right of self-defense, which is YES
ted in society, justifes a nation, or faction,
in resorting to force in order to protect itself
from great and impending danger.
No invective against wars can efface their
history; they have existed for centuries and,
since centuries do not retrace their steps, to
ignore the powerful protection afforded by
such an institution is to exhibit a 1amentable
want of intelligence. War has been not only
the first, the most essential, the most indis-
pensable, factor of real civilization, but it is,
and will continue to be, the one source In
which the best hopes, and the greatest safety,
of mankind are conferred, and certainly not
without reason, for, if you win observe close
