Consolidated Apri! II,
GlOriOus-but Useless

One of The striking features Of
the European war is the patri
otic enthusiasm that has inspir-
ed the people of the various ma
tlons and caused them to send
their young and best manhood
to the slaughter of trenches and
battlefelds. To our American
people this would indeed be an
enobling sight if they believed
the sacrifice was for a noble
principle or useful end, but it
only magnities the horror of it
when they believe as they do
that it is useless slaughter. That
the men who are Offering up
their lives at their country's call
are animated by the highest
patriotism there can be no ques-
tion, but that they have been de-
ceived there is as little doubt.
The following lines very wildly
give expression to this fact:
