Wouldn't it be fine if, when they fall out, instead of them send great hordes of workingmen on to battle- each other up when neither has any personal other, the kings and kinglets themselves should inter a roped arena and bare-fistedly settle their i to e: scraps? Instead of war staggering mankind with its frightful costs; plan would make it a source of profit.
