right or wrong but if he is right the
outlook is one horrible to contem-
plate. We have gotten used to re-
ports of wholesale slaughter. Millions
have already been killed. Shall the
number be changed to tens of mil

already been expended. Shall the
continuation OF the war change this
TO hundreds of billions? If the war
continues even three years longer the
debts of the nations engaged in it will
