Cooley in the Chicago Herald.
A few months ago the world stood
aghast at the atrocities of the Balkan
war. 1t had not been believable that
men could descend to such depths OF
savage cruelty. But what was the
Balkan war compared with the present
war! That WAS q struggle Of . people
against aEe-long oppression and in their
mad rage they killed and destroyed all
that came within their reach. But what
are these men fighting for! Why are
they destroying one another like the
foul breath of some awful pestilencs!
They hght. they say. for God. for
king. aAd for native land. Aye. to b
sure. for God! They nght for . God
who 70 loved the world that hs gave
bis only besottsn son In order that .
spiritual Regeneration might come 70
