Tho Primary Fact About War.

We sometimes think that the dlStin- cuishing characteristic of war is the killing and maiming of men, but 1t Is evident that this Is not the real dis tinction. for men are killed and maim- ed In time of peace. The essential and the one marked difference is this, that during war a nation Is q society, whereas in peace 1t is an aggregate of individuals. So true is this, indeed, that if a denlzen from some other world acquainted with our normal ac- tlvitics during peace should visit us when We are at war he would have difficulty in recognizing in this smooth ly moving. harmonious unit the diSOr- ganized welter of yesterday. Compar- ed with the spirit that animates so- ciety at war, tho disintegratiOn that inevitably cnsues when the sword Is laid aside is in all practical respects like the dissolution which sets in in tho body of a man when the spirit has taken it's light.-"The World storm and Beyond" by Edwin Davies Schoon- maker in Century Magazine.
