II Is becoming almost a figure OF

the great wars. II might be well,
therefore. TO remind the world that
suffering has never yet eradicated the
causes which make for wars. A gen.
oation gradually grows up which has
been fed upon the glories. but which
has had no personal experience of the
suffering. No wars ever caused a ma
ton more suffering than those OF the
Napoleonic era did France. Yet IL
may safely be said that no wars ever
gave birth TO so many future soldiers.
