on the subject, The World War.
He will analyze the causes Of the
present struggle as seen from his
own viewpoint. having spent five
months in the trenches, on the bat
tlef1elds and in the hospital and
prison camps of Europe.
Mr.. Evans was a member of the
Ford peace party, but like Mr.. Ford
is now fully convinced that the war
must be fought to a finish. He de-
nounces militarism, Europe's great
est institution, as more abhorrent,
more wickedly absurd. than witch
craft, duelling, the inquisition or
gladiatorial contests.
While a member of the Ford peace
party he was picked as envoy to
