Indeed, it may be joyfully acknow ledged that, so far uns can be judged by all outward appearances, the prescut trend of democratie opinion is distinctly towards peace. Nevertheless, it is unquestionably a fact that all the lessons of history go to show that the rule of Domes is no surer guarantee against war than that of oligarchs or despots. In addressing the Classical Association, Professor Ridgeway naturally pointed his moral by adducing the facts of Greek and Roman history. It is certain that the Athenian democracy was highly aggressive, and it is equally certain that the policy, which has rather unfortunately beca branded of by the somewhat misleading name Imperialism, came into being before Iloman emperors ever existed. It is, moreover possible to apply the historical argu- ment to more recent times As it was in the days of Pericles and Cleon, so it was in those of Robespierre, Danton, and their immediate successors. The idea which has to some extent laid hold of the public mind that Napoleon was solely responsible for the policy of unbridled ambition and territorial extension with which his name is generally associated is, of course, a complete fallacy Napoleon did, indeed, improve on the example which had been already given to lure, but the Republican Covernment of France, though at first driven to set in self-defence by the mest unwise Declaration of Pilnitz, speedily and amidst many flowers of rhetore adopted in respect to its neighbours Belkilled in the wor is set out in detail, and is. gium, Holland, the Rhine provinces, Switzer unfortunately of deplorable length.

An analysis of the secretarial report shows country housea and homes have been cleared

of all their hunting men, whose recreation had given to them a fitness and a hardness that made for ready efficiency in the Servico. It is inspiring to read how the example of Masters and subscribers was followed by the one of farmers who were imbuer with the suno spirit and its readily joined the Colours as the sons from the country families. Again, emphasis is laid on the large number of funt servants who enlisted and whose knowledge of horse and stable work was invaluable to the Anny at the Front.
