Abolition of War Difficult.
There are many Influences which
make It difficult TO abolish war.
Among these are Tho irresponsible
autocrat. the youthful adventurer the
sedontary man who loves 10 read
about war and thinks il exciting, and
the cant which Is preached about the
beauty Of war.
Even II Germany mult!pies her
submarine by three, and If they be-
come 1wiC" as successful as they are
today. her chance OF starving out the
entente is gone forever" This VAS IN
reply 10 a lie which Germany has at
tempted to cir ~ulAt" thruOut the world
TO The effect that England has been
Teasing on White bread and other dell
cacies and mas neen compcliiHe. the 9TH
er allies TO starve.
German Lies Are Refuted.
Mr.. Masefield refuted a number OF
lies which Germany has punNShed
about England, giving absolute proof
Of their falsity It has been said that
England is intent only on money max
ing, that her subjects have no concep-
ton OF serving the state. and. further
more, that in the face Of real opposi-
ton. they prove cowardly. Four mil
lion five hundred thousand English
men volunteered for service before the
draft went into effect and 1900 900 9TH
crs we're rejected because Of physical
unftness. England could have re-
naincd out Of the war but she chose
to enter and in doing so she has lost
> 800 900 men.
Germany has insinuated that Eng
land has not taken her fair share IN
this war" he said. AT present we
hold one-third of the line in France.
onc-fourth in Italy, all of the line in
Palestine. MesopOtamia and Scrvla-
and hive supplied So 900 100000 worth
Of munitions and other supplies TO our
allies aside from furnishing them
30 900. 900 tons OF coal"
Heart Of War Zone.
In describing the heart Of the VAR
zone in France Mr.. Maseheld said AS
we approach the interior OF the zone
We hear a terrific uproar noise so
awful that It makes one SEX and dizzy.
There Is a constant succession OF dear
ening crashes and bangs. screeches In
the air, rushing thru the heavens
Great clouds Of smoke and earth rise
there is a ghastly. bloody haze over the
battle field. which at midnight looks
like a giant electrical storm passing
over France. but it never passes-it !s
always there"
The speaker described the wonderful
development of surgery which the war
has brought ought-the process OF
making new faces. and Of restoring a
new coat OF skin TO mon VINO have
been terribly burned
