Dr. John- son called it the last refuge of scoun- drels. Tolstol saw in it, because us- ually associdted with wars and killing, the great cbstacle to civilization, More modern writers have denounced it as a mere cloak beneath Which avarice and bumptious,pride take refuse. Such_criticism is understood when we realize how often jingoism and patriotism have béen &ynohymious. It is patriotism—of & sort—that is at preésent drenching Europe in blood, Through the battle smoke it seems indeed a frightful thing. The willing- ness to ride rough shod ovef hiiman bodies and human homes toward % pire is hotrible and not admirable.
