of it. Nationals in Europe have not
united nor have their boundaries
changed in ages iave as a result of
war. There being no bonds of union,
the peoples irritate each other,, Jeal
ousy, hate, suspicion have nourished
among them. Americans rave Deen
hurt to hear Allied soldiers abuse each
other. B'ritish soldiers rarelv learned
French, on the ground that "the frogs"
should learn English; "Yes'', said a
French, lieutenant finishing a conver
sation as to the next war, "but you
know the English have always.- hatei.
France." Roth English and French
soldiers were outspoken aganst the
Belgians, condemning a nation on ac
count pf a few spies. The Russians
were rotten; the Italians would not
fight, they said. These opinions, fo
mented, it is true, by Bosh propagan
da, were not entirely the result of the
war: they existed already. Europe ac
cepts these national antipathies as a
matter of course, while in the past
ambitious rulers have played upon
them to make war at will.
However discouraging these condi

each fighter's breast during this war

If the soldiers while doing their best
had thought the same strugsrle wenhl
have to be made again by their chil

of much righteous inspiration. But
