Considering that England on. ,* went to
war on account of an Englishman's ear,
the comparative calmness which the Brit

an English subject was taken by General
Villa is another reminder that times have
'changed.

the Spaniards cut off Mr. Jenkins's ear
and nailed it to the mast of hi* own »hin

land beat her war drums and rushed to
the defense of her honor and Mr. Jenkins's

thusiasm (and some commercial profit)
until a better cause of tlghting arose in
another quarter of the world. This new
cause also was so bound up with Eng

If the English soldier of that day had
stopped to ask himself what difference It
made to him who sat on the Austrian
throne he might have concluded to stay

England certainly Is no less able today
to guard the lives of its subjects than It
wus when it fought the war of Jenkins'*
ear. It certainly Is no less patriotic and
no lesa alive to its interests abroad than
it was when it fought the war of the Aus
trian succession. But things have taken
a turn since those days. The success of
a nation's foreign policy is not now to be
measured by the number of soldiers it
sends to be killed In different quarters of
the globe, and a British minister can now
without loss of prestige to his party or his

but It Is Impossible to effect It by British

any attempt of that character, which
