the analogy Of beer and bread. Bread

alcoholic fermentation in both. It con.

Intoxicating when taken in ordinary
quantities. Beer also has bitter and

VAST DIFFERENCE
NOW IN FIGHTING
gress, Makes a Strong Com
pariSon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Warfare
IS not what it was in the olden days
More specifically, there is a vast diff.
terence between the fighting that has
been listed in history under the name
or the Civil War, and the fighting of
today in Europe, for which the final
name has not yet been found.
General l. r. Sherwood, congress-
man from Ohio, the only member Of
congress who served in the Civil war
as an officer, has been drawing com.
parison for himself and his conclu.
sions are interesting.
Eyes, indeed, there is a difference"
he said. "The destructive power of
modern arms and armament is prob.
ably ten times as great as in our Civ
II war, which was at the time the
greatest, bloOdiest and most destruc-
tive war Of modern times. But the
ethical differences are most startling
Our war of over four years dura-
ton was fought on both sides by vol
unteers. With the exception of the
English, all the great armies in this
European conflict are regular sol
diers, trained to kill for hire. In the
civil war the one vital question in
volved had been in the arena of fierce
contention and debate for a whole do.
cade preceding the war.
In our war every soldier behind a
gun knew what he was fighting for.
In the European war, not g. soldier
behlnd gun knows what the war is
about, or what is involved in the con-
fict.
ut is conceded that the power OF
modern killing machines on land is
ten times as destructive of human life
as the man killers of our Civil war
And on the sea, the killing power il
probably twenty times as murdcrous.

Monitor and the Merrimac. in Ha:np-
