J * * * * * * It is too easy to read In history that nations have | grown great on battle; that “pure and noble arts of peace are founded on war.” Ruskin found excuse to declare that— There !s no great art possible to a nation but that which te based on battle. And further that— all great nations learned their truth of word and strength of thought In war; * * * tn @ word, that they Were born tm war and expired in pence. Nevertheless, there is not only the history which is) made, but that which is making and to be made. With all his word for the glory and mission of battles past, Ruskin could find no praisé for modern war, | played “with a multitude of small human pawns,” in which masses of men are taken from all industrial em- ployment, fed by the labor of others and supplied “with | destructive machines, varied daily in national rivalship of inventive cost.” * s ° ° e ° . | To-day, far more than in Ruskin’s time, the issues of | \battle He in mathematical adjustments of the firing- ipieces and in the nice equations of initial and muzzle} velocities. The gunpowder charge in balance prevails | fwhere of old was the lance in poise, Battle is smoke- | fless, umspectacular, almost a question in exact | fmechanics. It is specialized murder—not multiplied urder, because men have learned the saving value of | the open order over serried ranks. | While modern war does nothing for the fine arts, the Mindustrial arts have made wonderful progress in pro- widing its implements.

A woman may marringe with a man whom she loves: and who loves her enough to justify her belicf tn him, But she may also lose everything. And when a woman oon- tinues to Iivq with a man who has shrunk from tho pre-matrimonial hero of romance to the grumpy martyr to the weekly bills, she pays far moro dearly for a begrudged Itving than 1¢ she lind remained unmarried and be- come self-supporting. To be sure, 1f her husband fails to support her the courts will give her alimony, But !¢ he chooses to convert his property into cash and get out of New York they can't make him pay It, however much they adjudge him tn con- tempt. When Owen Glendower boasts to Hotapur that he can oall spirits from the vasty deep, the rceptical hero n- awers: ‘Aye, so can I, or #0 can any man. But will they come when you do call for them Until non-payment of alimony becomes an extraditable offense husband to support her, and thus may lose financtally as well as morally by becoming the avenging Nemesis of a man she once loved.
