represents the sober conclusion which
the masses OF the population have

and that by the turbulent currents and

and victory over the Germans arc i'll
separable aud that the responsibility for
plunging Europe into war rests on the

The tendency is to regard the war no

but as one between the new spirit Of
democracy and the old spirit Of inn
porialism. The people are eagerly de-
sirous OF peace, but are ready to devote
Ifcdoubled energy to war il that is the
