ICALLY BY THI8 WAR THAT THEY WILL BE UNABLE TO NGAGE IN ANOTHER FOR 50 YEARS.” This is the big bose haltu- cination of all. When it has been proved by thie war that all our old notions about war and finance were idle dreame! When It hae been proved over and over that a nation can make wer without rega to outside financing, make war in epite of any amount of national debt, make it on paper money and make it while she lives comfortably and successfully within her self! That's one thing. But here's another still greater. The side that wins this war will not be financially exhausted, will it? Its coffers will be filled to over- flowing with the indemaities of the beaten side. Germany, for tn- stance, intends to levy an tn- demnity of $10,000,000,000. That doesn't look like financial ex- haustion, does it? And as for physical exhaustion, the greatest army ever dreamed of in this world, wonderfully trained, skilled, developed and equipped, flushed with the greatest victories, will not be in what you would call physical exhaustion, will it? 5. “IF WE ARE ATTACKED, OF AMERICANS FENSE OF THEIR COUNTRY.” | Well, what with?
