 Yn this hour Of oonfiict. what
 hopes do we cherish for tho fu-
 ture peace3 At time when our nation ts in tho throes of the worst war that has over lnfested mankind, when our people are tense with the horrors of struggle. when our fellow cittsens are dying on the battlenelds of France. 1t seems peculiar even to talk of peace. But some day the war will aud. and m attempt must he made to save mankind from . repetis ton of tho events which have plunged the world into such . state Of bar- bardc madness. International rAia. tions must be rearrAnged so that tho nations can settle thsir differences without committing wholesale mur. der. Overwhelnaing nataonai dsbts. destruction of industry and com- merce. the saerince of miliions of lives--Au have created . deaire to prevent this catastrophe from hap- pening again. War h not only cruel and disastrous: 1t - illosical. blind. reactionary. It h return. n pArt. to the wild nature Of our savage au- cestors. The only sane and reason- able way to suppress 1t, is to employ the sans methods that have boesl
 used to do away with war between in-3 dividuals to institute the reign of law.
 Law and war cannot exist together. Law implies tho determination of dis putes by constituted authority O. cording to woll-established principles of justice: war implies tho settlement of differences between nations by battle, without regard to whetlaef the decision of arms works Justice or injustice. Tho differences between them, therefore, is fundamental and irreconcilable. War abrogates law; the reign of law will be the end of war.
 One thousand years ago private war was just as much within the rights of large bands Of freemen as public war was within the rights Of states. A free mans house was not only his castle; 1t was his fort and his arsenal. He loaded it with weapons and war munitions, and If he was rich enough. he supplied 1t with lighting men. Whenever he went abroad he rode dangling with armor. He was obliged to defend his cause with his own right hand, and to ac- cept . decision of q trial by battle. This state of affairs was necessary because the civilization of that tilne did not provide courts or police ade- quate to deal with the Q,iarrels of individuals and to translate them into terms of law.
