the sword in quarrel outrages the con-
science Of mankind is what we
have to look and labor for. TO my mind
i is a foolish outcry that is now raised
against the proposal for the military
training of the male population of this
country TO accustOm nation to arms
is not to make war more likely, but
more remote. Those regard war with
the deepest sense Of responsibility who,
whenever it comes, will have personally
to take part in it and to accept it's great
est risks Nor have l any fear that the
familiarizing of children with military
exercises, or with the possibility of their
having one day to defend their country
against the aggressor, will give them a
taste for warfare. Let us not be fan
atical A friend of mine, an ardent ad-
vocate Of peace, always refused to let
her children play with toy soldiers and
toy cannon, from fear of their sinister
educational effect! But l remember
that, as a child, l was allowed such toys
even now l can heartily enjoy mil
itary pageant-and | am not aware that
| am particularly bloodthirsty person.
The cause of peace is not promoted by
eXaggeratiOn. Seeing how the world is
still constituted, we must prepare Tor
war if we would have peace. But, while
we do this, let us prepare for the final
destruction of war by keeping our faith
in the possibility, the certainty, Of its
being destroyed The very faith will
work wonders: doubt and pessimism
have never yet wrought anything in the
world.
Especially must we Jews keep this
truth in mind. We are bound, as | have
said, by our religious and historic ira
ditions, to range ourselves with the
peace-lovers From us there must go
forth no uncertain protest against the
scepticism that chills the ardour Of the
advocates Of peace, and, above all,
against the spurious patriotism which
extols war Of every kind, and scents an
insult to the national dignity in every
act or utterance done or spoken by the
representatives Of rival people. Let
us never forget that, in international
politics, there is another point Of view
besides our own, and that other nations,
equally with ourselves, have their inter-
ests and their susceptibilities. Jewish
patriotism is real thing; it is so real
that we may well spare ourselves all ex.
travagant efforts to prove it's genuine
ness. "My country, right or wrong!'
is not the cry Of the true patriot,
whether Jew or Gentle. Higher far
than national ACKNOWLEDGEMENT stands

which combatant is in the right, but only
which is the stronger. 1t does not vim
dicate any moral principle; often it vio
lates the most rudimentary moral prin-
ciples. 1t merely upholds
The good old rule, the simple plan,
That they should take who have the
power,
And they should keep who can.
Territory gained as the result Of war
is territory gained by dint Of brute
force Can anyone tell ME in what re-
spect this differs from highway rob-
berry?
They say that ridicule kills. Is it not
time that it's deadly effects were brought
to bear upon war? Hitherto it's edge has
been kept for the peace makers. Peace
societies and Peace conferences have
alike been laughed at. Even now, l
doubt not, there are not a few who are
inclined to smile at the Hague confer
ence as impracticable. Nothing, they
say, will come Of it. They are wrong.
Much will come Of it, though not at
once 1t will not Danish war as with
magic wand; but it will pave the way
for it's gradual disappearance. 1t will
add one more stone to the slowly rising
edifce of international brotherhood.
Let us, then, not lose heart. All the
omens point to the ultimate realisation
of the hopes Of civilized men, to the IN
auguration Of an era Of sanity for
world too long demented with the lust
of bloodshed. Every great nation is be-
coming more deeply impressed with the
awfulness Of war, with a sense of its
shamefulness and it's iniquity.
Arbitration, first derided, then adopt
ed tentatively and exceptionally, is fast
becoming the rule. These very Hague
conferences are the symbol Of the change
that has come over the minds Of men in
regard to this great question. There
was time when the very idea of such
conferences would have been secuted as
visionary, time, indeed, when the idea
itself would have been impossible That
these conferences should take place and
unite all the most powerful nations in
a common effort after peace is the strong
est guarantee Of the ultimate triumph OF
the cause.
Let us hope, therefore, but hope
sanely. No good is done by Historically
clamoring for the instant cessation OF
all warfare or warlike preparations We
must take humanity as it is, with all its
strength and weakness, and we must
recognize that it is not yet ripe for the
golden age. The time for abolishing
war altogether is not yet, seeing that the
warlike instinct still dominates the hui
