HALL0WELL PAYS HOMAGE TO
THE SOLDIER AND SAILOR DEAD
Civic And MILITARY PARADE

and thoroughly interesting manner by
Rev. A. c. Townsend, who took as his
subject: The Heritage Of War and
Peace, a brief outline Of which is as
follows:
The speaker in reference to the her
itage of war stated that he did not
mean the spoils of conquest, the de-
struction that necessarily follows, nor
even the patriotic influences and mem
cries which it called forth, but refer
red to the fact that in war the best
and strongest We're killed off and the
weakest We're left to beget the next
generation. He stated that this was
Just the reverse of what the farmer
does with his stock, who breeds from
the best. while military policies are to
breed from the poorest. The speaker
then quoted kipling's advice to Eng
land, Send both the best We breed"
He went on to state that Napoleon
shortened the French race two inches
by this method He said the explana-
might be their practice Of military Sc
lection of the finest material until the
stock was exhausted.
Ill SpedhllS ol tHe heritage OF peace
he said that some times charity was
responsible for the survival of the
weakest, and stated that another ele-
ment that worked its deterioration on
the human race, was modern luxury
and wealth, which produced a race of
weaklings. He stated that the fam
lilies of foreigners are large in number
while those of natives were very small
is regards children.
He went on to say that what is need
ed today is to find the moral equivalent
of war as applied to science finding the
mechanical equivalent of heat. and 10
stimulate the heroic qualities in build
ing up society, rather than the destruc-
tive ways as used in war.
The reading of "Lincoln's Gettys-
burg Address by Darius c. Nye was
thoroughly enjoyed by all present and
called forth generous applause. Mr.
NYe, who is 81 years old and one of
Hallowelrs oldest Civil War veterans,
gave this address in a most creditable
and pleasing manner.
