WHY STOP AT $3
Dear Sir:
Is it really necessary to assume, as Mr. Rudyard Kipling doen, that the pacifiam of the English people and their disinclination to prepare for war, is due to n, loss of their ancient virility and their spirit of patriotic sacrifice? At the annual dinner of the Royal Society of St. George he suggested that the on- nihilation of nearly a million spirit- ed young Britons in the Great War had left the direction of British thought to others--many of whom had shirked the War, and liked to foster the paelfist idea that war was the greatest of evils and its ancrifice a folly. It is strange that the elimination of so many courage- ous men should have produced this disastrous love of peace among the
