Hideous in itf* nakedness, war comes magnificently clad in op? portunity for illustrious distinction, with a thrilling escort of flaps and drums and bugles. Its forbidding front masked by ambition for gallutit achievement, and passions aroused hy insult, aggression, or cupidity, it is the despair of enlightened statesmanship, a tri? umph of iniquity and a hateful lapso inuOmrharism, visiting* in? numerable woes upon states and nations. A teeming womb of dis aster, distress snd wickedness, the sin of those who cause it is the most heinous earth knows. Besids its horrors the flames of perdi? tion pale. In the abode of lost souls torments are inflict???;! upon the guilty alone; in war they assail countless innocents. Subjecting men to the accursed ordeals of imprisonment, disoaso, intolerable pain and untimely death, this "toil and trouhle" also fastens its snguish upon women and children. "There never was a -rood war," said Franklin. "Nothing: hut a hattle lost can he so melancholy as a ' attle won," wrote the Duke of Wellington. "0 war, thou son of hell!" cried young CUBbrd over tin? tody of b;s father, slain at 6t Albans. So run the testimonies through the centuries. Nothing can change the inherent savagery of war, curb its calamitous commotions, avert its immoralities or rid it of suffering, injustice, devastation and brutal tragedy. It is lawless?a succes? sion of aoothinp hatretls, odious srrongS and abominable infamies After Its guns are silenced, it? graves tilled and its red-rimmed wounds healed, it yet entails grievous punishments upon its sur? vivors and their descondants. Even when its private losses are forgotten, inevitable pnblk Indebtedness lingers for generations. To this formidable liability is added the burden of maintaining pension systems and great military establishments?schools of war, armies, navies, fortifications and equipment?during long periods of profound peace, holding government- by a:, insuperable impedi? ment from the expenditures necessary for the highest development of states in science, commerce, invention and art, while the solu? tion of the gravest problems which confront society, and the edu? cation, prosperity and happiness of the vast majority, are indefi? nitely retarded. Lurin?* into an abyss of destruction the select men of the world, the flower of youth, the ablest and best physically snd intellectually, war baves behind, to propagate, the defective, the weakling and the unfit, thus contributing to the degeneracy of the human race beyond all estimata?. War is the arch enemy of every laudable ambition a people Way cherish, the most wasteful in treasure and virility of all under? takings, the supreme folly of the age, the unfairest of tribunals. Despicable in origin, fundamentally malignant, deadliest foe of ill morals hold most dear, this ravaging monster flaunts a shame? ful and bloody badge upon the hr. niions, perverts the bravest and strongest manhood to base purposes, poisons thought, eomipts patriotism and feeds upon the vitals of civilization.

WHITE HOUSEBUSY AS WEDDING NEARS Many thousand Invitations Must B< Delivered by Hand to foreign Envoys. ir m Um mv ? . ? ? mai Washington, Nov. 27. Events at the White Huu-it* are fast focussing- toward the marriage of the President to Mr1. Norman Gait "late in December," an?l naval before has the present White Hou^e staff known what a big job it is to marry off a President. Even ob | the simplest arrangemrn* l'or the ant.ouncemer.ts of the wedding, at Isa?t two sets must be sent out th t by Mrs, William Rolling, announcing the marriage of her ?laughter, Mrs Boiling C.alt, to Woodrow Wil? son, Pr?sident of the United states, and many of them bearing "ui boa? ? m ils with "the White House" BS the IS, and another much more for? mal set bearing the White House coat of-arms and announcing to ambaeaa dors and th?> rrowned heads of Europe and the president? of Latin-American republics the event. It may be that the President will also announce his marriage to the Vice-President and Marshall, < abinet members, Su? preme Court, Senators, Kepresenta GrOTernon of State.?, especially '?vernor of N'ew Jersey and other officials in that state. Whoever may send out the announcements, the en velopes for then, will be addressed at the White House anil the most Im? portant urns ?rill be ileliver,'?!
