war does nothing beyond proving

I asked. do you mako a distinc-

different from militarism?'
She laughed, and her eyes looked
more like big pools Of blue light

Better in a nobler cause. before they

there could not be stilled the idea
that perhaps II individual Europe

The game was played In two ff-
