That President Wilson's announced pol

Marsh charged that the Balkan war had
been fostered by the great powers of Eu-
rope. who hoped to gain in a number of
ways thereby. He declared that SO far
international relations are concerned
Christianity did not count for a snap of
the fingers and that Europe was entirely
devoid of justice and consistency
Glasses War as Industry.
War is one of the greatest industries
in Europe declared Mr.. Marsh 1T
would take too long to tell of the he'll
that exists there today because of this

He declared that the recent treaty of
Bucharest had been SO framed as to
actually create war unless the countries
concerned are unusually careful in their
relations. He pointed out that the con-

armament manufacturers to increase

Speaking Of the atrocities which had
taken place during the struggles he said
that while the Bulgarians had without

other hand, he charged that the King
of Greece had given orders for ex-
termination. The men in the war, he
said. We're frank to admit that because
OF the great amount of killing there
was decided lack of respect for a
