terrible until men become towards. it will go on.
 Another argument is that we can stop war by being prepared for war. it's legitimate purpose but some of those in the war are now there proba- bly, because of their preparations for war.
 There are three arguments which are not faIlacies. These three arguments are the moral, economic and biological arguments. The moral argument is so familiar that I do not believe there is Q person in this room who is not familiar with it.
 There is the economic argument, and that is the destruction of property and wealth through war. In the last 24 hours the be1ligerent nations at war have spent in the prosecution of this war from 50 to 55 million dollars Taking in account the stoppage of business it would amount to 100 to 12O millions day. In the g or 10 months of the war the world has spent 1O000,0O0 thousand dollars. There is not a man or woman in the world that will rot be affected by this war. Ev- cry person in this country will in some way economically suffer
 The biological arguments against war are that the best men Zill be lost to future generations. At the pres ent moment there are recruited men
 
 fifteen million men in arms engaged in drenching the earth in human blood Already nearly seven million men have been kS'ed or crippled for life, wound ed, and that word wounded means nearly always lost, or captured. It Is said that wars are not waged on wo- men and that women do not have to fight. In a war it is the women and children that are the chief sufferers Tn those countries at this moment wo- men are living in barns, cellars, dog kennels and even chicken houses. A professG- of Oxford, England, said the other day that if this war goes on for another year the three greatest ma tions in the world will be the United States. Argentine and Spain.
 Let me say in closing that it seems to be the part of the United States to lead in this great peace movement. United States is a demon stratiOn of the fact thaat all peoples of the earth can live in peace under one form of government. United States is the greatest peace nation in the history Of the world. Every pres ident from George Washington down to Woodrow Wilson has been an advo- cate of peace. Is it not possible for President Wilson to do for the nations of the world what George Washington did for this country?
