It is always so in these wars of conquest Away in Spain it became necessary to mobilize the troops for a campaign against the Moroccans. More working boys had to be taken from their tasks and sent with repeating rifles and machine guns to kill more fez-crowned desert boys on the sands of Africa. It seemed very necessary to the Destinists—not many of whom are going; but to the boys themselves, and to their par ents and brethren and sweethearts, it seemed hard Somehow and from somewhere the truth has found its way into the minds of the common people of all lands that they are fools to act as food for powder in quarrels in which they have no interest Africa almost mobbed the officers, panies and battalions mutinied A portentous thing is taking place. The man behind the gun is beginning to think. The people who used to be blinded by the false praises of false glory are beginning to think. The people and the soldiers joined in the cry, “Down with the war!" Is this to be the new slogan, replacing all other war cries? If the soldiers of the world will just think, will study the ques- tions at issue, and refuse to pull trigger or draw sword until a quarrel is on in which they as common men have something at stake, the new slogan will drown all others, “DOWN WITH THE WAR!"
