PACIFIsT AND THE SOLDIER

A certain Pacifst, who was
willing to lie supine ESQ he said)
beneath the aggressions of any
power, once met a Soldier who
had never fired a shot. But the
Paciist did not know this.
"Oh-hol" the latter shouted,
at sight of the uniform. $50 you
are one of those soldier men!
One of these militarists who
create, love and invite war;"

der, quietly. Il am opposed to
war-every soldier is. Just as
every policeman prefers a quiet
neighborhood to HelPs Kitchen,
so l prefer peace to shetland

81 don't believe you!" cried
the Pacifst, forgetting, in his
rage, that it is the part Of ev-
cry good Pacifist to remain calm
and courteous under all condl-
tons; never to quarrel; never
to shout; never to lose his tenn
per; never to indulge in a war
of words. 'Why, then, do you
carry a gun and sword? Why,
why? You invite trouble by
merely owning such weapons.
You encourage war simply by

ooh, no; beg your pardon,
answered the Soldier softly. Il
never think Of war, except to
detest it. That policeman yon-
der, does not wish to arrest you
Though perhaps he ought to.
Nine times out Of ten he will
ask you, politely, to move on,
rather than take you to the sta
ton house. Hhe carries a revol-
yer, it is true. But have you
ever seen it? No; and you new
er will, unless you get into trou-
ble."
"But I will never get into trou-
ble." yelled the little Pacifst,
furious at the very word. "Nev-
er. never"
"How do you know? inquired
the Soldier. "The fact that you
do not wish trouble will not, un-
fortunately, prevent it's coming,
any more than the desire not to

world would be a beautiful place
if, by merely wishing, we could

seen your appendix; yet either

ent."
"But l." began the little Pa
cifist.
At that moment a mad dog,
unexpected and unannounced,
came blindly down the street.
People scattered to right and
left. There were shouts of ter
ror. The Soldier drew his sword
as the animal came nearer; and
the poor little Pacifist, terrified,
|leaped behind the military mans
back. The Policeman on the
corner drew his revolver and
fired. The dog fell dead.

we killed him." said the Soldier
to the still trembling Pacifist:

not kill us. 1t is law of life,

shivering and shaking.
By the way. I wonder why you
are shivering? The Policeman

And the little Pacifst crept
away. There was nothing else

Following tests at the factory, the

skylights housed the truck during its
three weeks construction. The plant
was closely guarded day and night
by armed men.
