But when some statesmen declare, the word war
the most frightful tragedy ever suffered by the human
race, its lesson should be learned and measures taken to
avoid a repetition in the future, we have other statesmen
proiessing a higher sanity and more practical turn of

ware are as necessary as food and drink, and the world
should blindly return to the same svstem that has alwavs
produced them.
J. he fslocum disaster revolutionized maritime, regula

Iriouois disaster, transformed fire in'otection in theaters

world disaster of 1914, should be charged up to profit and
loss and the same discredited system continued without a
protest.
Between two and three thousand lives and between
two and three million dollars comprised the loss
that revolutionized laws within nations, but when
between seven and. eight million lives are lost, when
property destruction reaches over $200,000,000,000, laws
between nations, according to the league opponents should
remain as they are.
Iho .League ot Nations won t irevent ware chhns the
