eOUST TOLSTOI SeOKES WA-R
His Philosophic Sermon on Rosso-Japanese Conflict Is a Masterly Production.
L
COUNT LEO -TOLSTOY'S philo
sophic sermon on. war, In which
he presents a masterly Indictment
against that institution as a modern
principle, has caused more comment
than any other of the great Russian's
rocent utterances. Below will be found
liberal extracts from its text wherein
are contained the most striking' and
important of his arguments and Illus
trations: "Again war. Again sufferings, neces
sary to nobody, utterly uncalled for;
again fraud, again the universal stupe
faction and brutallzation-of men.
"Men who are separate'd from each
other by thousands of miles, hundreds
of thousands of such men (on the one
hand Buddhists, whose law forbids
the killing, not only of men, but of
animals; on the other hand Chris
tians, professing the law of brother
hood and love) like wild beasts on land
and on sea are seeking out each other,
in order to kill, torture and mutilate
each other In the most cruel way.
What can this be? Is It a dream or a
reality? Something is taKlng place
which should not, cannot be; one longs
to believe that It Is a dream and to
awake from it.
Is a Dreadful Reality.
"But no. It Is not a dream; it is a
dreadful reality!
"One could et understand how a
poor, uneducated, defrauded Japanese,
torn from his field and taught that
Buddhism consists not In compassion
to all that lives, but in sacrifices to
Idols, and how a similar -poor Illiterate
fellow from the neighborhood of Toula
or Nljnl Novgorod, who has been
taught that Christianity consists In
worshiping Christ, the Madonna, saints
and their ikons one could understand
how these unfortunate men, brought
by the violence and deceit of centuries
to recognize the greatest crime In the
world the murder of one's brethren
as a virtuous act, can commit these dread
ful deeds, without regarding themselves
as being guilty in so doing.
"But how can so-called enlightened men
preach war, support it, participate In It,
and, worst of all. without suffering the
dangers of war themselves, incite others
to it, sending their unfortunate defrauded
brothers to fight? These so-called enlight
ened men cannot possibly Ignore, I do not
say the Christian law. If they recognize
themselves to be Christians, but all that
has been written, is being written, has
and Is being said, about the cruelty, fu
tility and senselessness of war. They are
regarded as enlightened men precisely be
cause they know all this. The majority
of them have themselves written and
spoken about this. . . .
Cruel, False, Stupid.
"Something is taking place incompre
hensible and Impossible in its cruelty,
falsehood and stupidity. The Russian Czar,
the same man Tvho exhorted all the na
tions in the cause of peace, publicly an
nounces that, notwithstanding all his ef
forts to maintain the peace so dear to his
heart (efforts which express themseles in
the seizing of other peoples' lands and in
the strengthening of armies for the de
fense of these stolen lands), he, owing to
the attack of the Japanese, commands
that the same shall be done to the Jap
anese as they had commenced doing to the
Russians 1. e, that they should be
slaughtered; and in announcing this call
to murder he mentions God, asking the
Divine blessing on the most dreadful
crime In the -world. The Japanese Emperor
.has proclaimed the same thing in relation
to the Russians.
"Men of science and of law (MM. Mura
yieff and Martens) strenuously try to
prove that In the recent call of all nations
to universal peace and the present in
citement to war, because of the seizure of
other peoples' lands, there is no contradic
tion. Diplomatists, in their refined French
language, publish and send out circulars
in which they circumstantially and dili
gently prove (though they know no one
bolleves them) that, after all its efforts to
establish peaceful relations (In reality,
after all Its efforts to deceive other coun
tries), the Russian government has been
compelled to have recourse to the only
means for a rational solution of the ques
tion L e., to the murder of men. The
same thing Is -written by Japanese diplo
matists. Scientists, historians and philoso
phers, on their side, comparing the pres
ent with the past, deduct from these com
parisons profound conclusions, and argue
interminably about the laws of the move
ment of nations, about the relation be
tween the yellow and white races, or
about Buddhism and Christianity, and on
the basis of these deductions and argu
ments justify the slaughter of those be
longing to the yellow race by Christians;
-while in the same way the Japanese
scientists and philosophers justify the
. slaughter of those of the -white race.
Hard Raps at Journalists.
"Journalists, without concealing their
joy, try to outdo each other, and. not hes
itatlng at any falsehood, however Impu
dent and transparent, prove In all possible
wajs that the Russians only are right and
6trong and good In every respect, and that
all the Japanese are wrong and weak and
bad in every respect, and that all those
are also had who are inimical or may be
come inimical toward the Russians the
English, the Americans; and the same is
proved likewise by the Japanese and their
supporters in relation to the Russians.
"Not to mention the military, who In the
way of their profession prepare for mur
der, crowds of so-called enlightened peo
ple, such as professors, social reformers,
students, nobles, merchants, without being
forced thereto by anything or any one,
express the most bitter and contemptuous
feelings toward the Japanese, the Eng
lish, or the Americans, toward whom but
yesterday they were either well-disposed
or Indifferent; while, -without the least
compulsion, they express the most abject,
servile feelings toward the Czar (to whom,
to say the least, they were completely In
different), assuring him of their unlimited
love and readiness to sacrifice their lives
in his interests.
"This unfortunate, entangled young
man, recognized as the leader of 130,000.000
of people, continually deceived and com
pelled to contradict himself, confidently
thanks and blesses the troops whom he
calls his own for murder in defense of
lands which with yet less right he also
calls his own. At present to each other
hideous ikons, in which not only no one
among the educated believe, but which un
learned peasants are beginning to aban
donall bow down to the ground before
these ikons, kiss them and pronounce
pompous and deceitfuLspeeches in which
no one really belleves.5
What They Call Patriotism.
"Wealthy people contribute insignificant
portions of their Immoral y acquired rlche3
for this cause of murcer or the organiza
tion of help In connection with the work
of murder; while the poor, from whom
the government annually collects two
milliards, deem It necessary to do like
wise, giving their mites also. The gov
ernment incites and encourages crowds of
Idlers, who walk about the streets with
the Czar's portrait, ringing, shouting
hurrah, and who. under pretext of patriot
Ism, are licensed in all kinds of excess.
"Stupefied by prayers, sermons, exhor
tations, by processions, pictures and news
papers, the cannon's flesh, hundreds of
thousands of men, uniformly dressed, car
rying divers deadly weapons, leaving
their parents, wives, children, with
hearts of agony, but with artificial
sprightllness, go where they, risking their
own lives, will commit the most dreadful
act of killing men whom they do not
know and who have done them no harm.
And they are followed by doctors and
nurses, who somehow Imagine that at
home they cannot serve simple, peaceful,
suffering people, but can only serve those
who are engaged In slaughtering each
other Those who remain at home are
gladdened by news of the murder of men,
and when they learn that many Japanese
have been killed they thank some one
whom they call God.
"All this is not only regarded as the
manifestation of elevated feeling, but
those who refrain from such manifesta
tions, if they endeavor to disabuse men,
are deemed traitors and betrayers, and
are in danger of being abused and beaten
by a brutalized crowd which, in defense 1
of Its Insanity and cruelty, can possess
no other weapon than brute force. . . .
"Men of our Christian world and of our
time are like a man -who, having missed
the right turning, the further he goes the
more he becomes convinced that he Is
going the wrong -way. Yet the greater
his doubts the quicker and the more des
perately does he hurry on, consoling him
self with the thought that he will arrive
somewhere. But the time comes when It
becomes quite clear that the way along
which he Is going will lead to nothing
but a precipice, which he is already be
ginning to discern before him. . . .
"It Is Impossible to organize a universal
empire or republic, consisting of Euro
pean states, as different nationalities will
never desire to unite Into one state. To
organize International tribunals for the
solution of international disputes? But
who will impose obedience to the decision
of the tribunal upon a contending party
who has an organized army of millions of
men? To disarm? No one desires it or
will begin It. To Invent yet more dread
ful means of destruction? Balloons with
bombs filled with suffocating gases, shells
which men will shower upon each other
from abo.ve? Whatever may be Invented,
all states -will furnish themselves with
similar weapons of destruction. And can
non's flesh, as after cold weapons it sub
mitted to bullets, and meekly exposed it
self to shells, bombs, far-reaching guns,
mitrailleuses, mines, so It will also sub
mit to bombs charged with suffocating
gases scattered down upon It from bal
loons. No More Rational Thinking.
"Nothing shows more evidently than
the speeches of M. Muravieff and Pro
fessor Martens about the Japanese war
not contradicting The Hague peace con
ferencenothing shows more oblously
than these speeches to what an extent,
among the men of our time, the means
for the transmission of thought speech
is distorted, and how the capacity for
clear," rational thinking is completely lost
Thought and speech are used for the pur
pose, not of serving as a guide for hu
man activity, but of Justifying any ac
tivity, howeer criminal it may be.
The late Boer war and the present
Japanese war, which can at any mo
ment pass into a universal slaughter,
hao proved this bejond all doubt All
antl-mllltary discussions can as little con
tribute to the cessation of war as the
most eloquont and persuasive consider
ations addressed to fighting dogs as to
its being more advantageous to divide
the piece of meat over which they are
struggling than to mutilate each other
and lose the piece of meat, which will be
carried away by some passing dog not
joining In the fight.
"We uro dashing on toward the preci
pice, cannot stop, and we aro approach
ing its edge. . . .
"The evil from which men of our time
aro suffering is produced by the fact
that the majority live without that
which alone affords a rational guid
ance for human activity without re
ligion, not that religion which consists
In belief in dogmas, in the fulfillment
of rites which afford a pleasant diver
sion, consolation, stimulant, but that
religion which establishes the relation
of man to the All, to God, and there
fore gives a general higher direction
to all human activity, and without
which the people stand on the plane of
animals and even lower than they. This
evil which Is leading men to Inevitable
destruction has manifested Itself with
special power in our time, because,
having lost all rational guidance In llfo
and having directed all efforts to dis
coveries and improvements principally
in the sphero of technical knowledge,
men of our times have developed in
themselves enormous power over the
forces of Nature; but not having any
guidance or the rational adaptation of
this power, they naturally have used it

"I do not know whether Nicholas II
and Kuropatkin say like Dlbitch In so
many words that 'not more than 50,000
lives will be necessary for this on the
Russian side alone, only and only that;'
but they think it, they cannot but think
It, because the work they are doing
speaks for Itself; that ceaseless stream
of unfortunate deluded Russian peas
ants now being transported by thou
sands to the far East these are those
same not more than 50,000 live Rus
sian men whom Nicholas Romanoff and
Alexis Kuropatkin have decided they
may get killed, and who will be killed
In support of those stupidities, robber
ies and every kind of abomination
which were accomplished In China and
Corea by Immoral ambitious men now
sitting peacefully in thoir palaces and
expecting new glory and new advan
tage and profit from the slaughter of
these 50,000 unfortunate defrauded
Russian worklngmen guilty of nothing
and gaining nothing by their sufferings
and death.
"For other people's land, to which the
Russian's have no right, which has
been criminally seized from its legiti
mate owners, and which. In reality. Is
not even necessary to the Russians
and also for certain dark dealings by
speculators, who In Corea wished to
gain money out of other people's for
ests many millions of money are spent
i a n ffnat nnrt nf the labor of the
whole of the Russian people, while the
future generations of this people are
bound by debts. Its best workmen are
withdrawn from labor, and scores of
thousands of Its sons are mercilessly
doomed to death. And the destruction
of these unfortunate men Is already
begun. More than this, the war Is be
ing managed by those who have
hatched It so badly, so negligently, all
is so unexpected, so unprepared, that
as one paper admits, Russia's chief
chance of success lies in the fact that
It possess inexhaustible human mate
rial. It Is upon this that rely those
who send to death scores of thousands
of Russian men!
"I had only Just dispatched tne iass
of the preceding pages of this article
when the dreadful news came of a new
Iniquity committed in regard to the
Russian people by those light-minded
men who, crazed with power, have ap
propriated the right of managing them.
Again coarse and servile slaves of
slaves, dressed up In various dazzling
attires varieties of generals wishing
to distinguish themselves or to do a
bad turn to each other, or to earn the
right to add one more little star, flngle
fangle, or scrap of ribbon to their
idiotic, glaring get-up, or else from
stupidity or carelessness again theso
miserable, worthless men havo de
stroyed amid dreadful sufferings thou
sands of those honorable, kind, hard
working laborers who feed them. And
again this Iniquity not qnly does not
cause those responsible for It to reflect
and repent, but one hears and reads
only about its being necessary as
speedily as possible to mutilate and
slaughter a greater number of men, and
to ruin still more families, both Rus
sian and Japanese.
"The Czar, the chief responsrao per
son, continues to review the troops, to
thank, reward and encourage them; he
Issues an edict for. the calling out of
the reserves; his faithful subjects
again and again lay down their prop
erty and lives at the feet of him they
call, only with their lips, their adored
monarch. On the other hand, desiring
to distinguish themselves before each
other In deeds and not In words only,
they tear away the fathers and the
bread-winners from their orphaned fami
lies, preparing them for slaughter. . . .
"When will this cease, and the tle
celved people at last recover them
selves and say: 'Well, go you your
selves, you heartless Czars, Mlkados,
Ministers, bishops, priests, generals,
editors, speculators, or however you
may be called; go you yourselves under
these shells and bullets, but we do not
wish to go and we w!llsnot go.'
"But no. they do not say this; they
go, and they will continue to go; they
cannot but go as long as they foar that
which ruins the body and not that
which ruins both the body and the
soul."
