auallr I War
' Modi, has been said of the in
creased humanity in war since the
days of the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries, when quarter was
seldom given; when cities were
sacked, and non combantants slain
In cold blood. Probably the largest
explanation or. tnis is the more
universal use of firearms and their
increased range and accuracy. Be
fore firearms were so universally
used and had become U effective
as to make hand-to-hand Cghtiug
obsolete. Individual combats were
the rule with sword, ax and dag
ger, and such methods of warefare
made the professional soldier a
literal butcher, to whom the mur
der of non-combatants was a natu
ral pastime. Probably. If armies
fousrht hand-to-hand and foot to
foot today, as they did In the fif
teenth and sixteenth centuries,
clues would be sacked and non
combatants murdered because the
very method of fighting created
type of military hardihood that
was sure to incarnate ferocity as
well as valor. It will be noticed
that war did not greatly increase In
humanity .. u&tU , firearmsboth
muscetry ana , cannon were
brought to a point of effective new
which made them the potential
forces that decided a battle. Bo
long as firearms were only a pow
erful adjunct, buUnot the chief re
liance of armies, a deal of wanton
cruelty and deliberate ferocity was
wreaked upon non-combatants. In
the sixteenth century the
and rarnlry were the dr-tJir

In Napoleon's day. It is far less
even than it was In our Civil War
of 1S61-C3, for, since that date,
very great improvements in the
range and accuracy of cannon and
mall arms have been made. The
liws in the Franco-Cennaa war
were severe at Grarelotte, but they
were not equal to the losses of the
union and Confederate armies
fighting in a rough country with
comparatively short-range lire-
arms.
The luwain South Africa today
are severe, bat they do not equal
in seventy me keof the Fran
co-German war. With every im
provement in the ranre of firearms
since Napoleoan's day, the percen
tage ot lorn has decreased. Ha
mantty m warfare dates back to
the time when thence of firearms
became universal enough and the
range long enough to make han l-
io-uand righting for the moat part
either obsolete or of minor conse
quence.
. In modern warfare between civ
inxeu nation lew men are ever
killed with the bayonet. The dif
ference in personal humanity t
tween a soldier who, in hand-to-
band and foot to-foot Cghtinj?
habitnally kills an indmdaal foe.
and a soldier who fire at a line of
the enemy wrapped in smoke, or
shell a line two or three mil
distant, is the di Terence between
the humanity of war today and
tho inhumanity of its education
hen erery soldier knew that he
had killed Lia individual foe.
Briefly, we say that war in a large
sense owes its increased human
ity to the universal use and izn-
proyement of small arms and can

last prayer, as recorded In the last
