Compared With Disease.

Mr.. Masefield compared war with dis
ease, and declared that the mind which
has combated yellow fever and other
scourges which were ouce thought ineffac-
able will in the end conquer war.
I'VE might say, indeed, that war is
nothing more nor less than a fever. and
in every instance the germ has been de-
liberately planted by some autocrat. This
has been proven in the case Of Spain, Of
France, yes, of England, when George III
proved the autocrat who forced your
country into the rebellion.
'ewar is an infamy and a crime" he
continued, "but there is yet greater
crime-that of submitting to an ire
sponsible autocrat.'

will some day, the three countries which
have done the most for liberty in the
