 history m this respect. It is true here as everywhere that it generally takes two or more to make a u1larral and none of the great nations of Europe are entirely innocent in this senseleSs and tragic war that has brought disaster to our modern civ iiizatlon and overthrown the love and ldieh or many. Where the greater blame lies, the future historians must determine when facts now obscure become clear but there are few things evident to most men and one IS that no great moral question was the originating cause of this Euro bean war.
