Also that these changes were de-
liherately made.
1T is the contention of the Virginia
comnissio on that the classification com
mittee has so far departed from the
guides to be used in making changes
OF this character that the result is to
build up an artificial structure of a

between carload and less than carload
lots, which is. in effect, q protective
tariff to the strong who do not need IL
and to burden the weak. who cannot
stand it.

A marked departure however. from

be a change in the method OF making

Only the first 100 numbers will be an

Positive Purposes OF The War.
At every turn of the war we gain "a
fresh consciousness Of what we mean
to accomplish by 1t. When our hope
ana expectation are most excited we
think more definitely than before of
the issues that hang upon IT and Of
the purposes which must he realized
by means OF 1t. For II has positive
and weii-defned purposes which we
did not determine and which we can
not alter. No statesman or assembly
created them, no statesman or as
sembiy can alter them. They have
arisen out of the very nature and
circumstances of the war The most
that statesmen or assemblies can do
is TO carry them out or he false to
them. They were perhaps not clear
AT the outset but they are clear now.
Tho war has lasted more than four
years and the whole world las been
drawn into II. The common will OF
man has been substituted for the par
ttcvlar purposes of individual states.
Individual statesmen may have start
I'd the conflict but neither they nor
their opponents can stop il as they
please. II has become a peoples war
and peoples of all sorts and races of
every degree OF power and variety OF
fortune are involved in its sweeping
processes OF change and settlement.
We came into II when its character
had become fully defined and il was
plain that no nation could stand

The air was clear about us We

We accepted the issues Of the war as
facts, not as any group OF men either
here or elsewhere had defined them,
and we can accept no outcome which
does not squarely meet and settle
them. Those issues are there:
