Rehabilitating War N’T there danger that war may be- come uninteresting? The affair between Turkey and the Balkan States leads to this conclusion. What is the use of having a war if you cannot have it described by a great variety of peo- ple; merely to know that over one hundred thousand men have been killed has its vague and distant appeal. But if correspondents are going to be excluded from future wars, and we cannot be supplied immediately with all of the details, will not war lose its main motive? For example: Bulgaria started out with an army of about four hundred thousand men. Up to date probably one hundred thousand of these men have been put out of business, either by actual killing or by gunshot wounds. Furthermore, now that Bulgaria has won her freedom by this expenditure of one hundred thousand men, she will have to keep on paying out her men in the future in order to maintain this freedom. — It seems singular, in this inventive and spectacular age, that nobody has had originality enough to introduce new features into warfare, which will Look “aWaterproot Silk Summer Hat The Ne ark.""—Semntbing distinctly new —takes yoo away from silk, eetviceable.” Of seer nik ia I make them, as the book reviewists say, * compelling.” As long as it is deemed wisest and ‘one 4 nen cae Bead litraee best by the majority of mankind (who, oe p ne of course, know about these matters) FRENCH CO A Personal Word From “The Man Behind The Name” “We are building for the future.

Not only would the same re- sults be accomplished which are ac- complished at present, but the gate re- ceipts would probably pay the expenses of the war. Thus the main problem of warfare would be solved. It was well known before hand that there was going to be a war between the Balkan States and Turkey. Bul- garia had been preparing for it for twenty-five years. Why would it not have been a better scheme for the lead- ing diplomats of Europe to have got- ten together and arranged a number of battles between Turkey and the Balkan States on a professional battle- field marked off in squares and with grandstand privileges?
