A nd w ar, w hich is ever a destroyer of dream s, is f a s t c ry sta liz ing th a t feeling. U p to the present two schools of th o u g h t seem to. have developed. The first, and by fa r th e m ost num erous, do n o t reg ard the matter as p resen ting any very g te a t difficulties. A t th e back'of their m inds, all unconsciously in th e case of m any, is the fixed idea th a t ou r civilization is only ju s t beginning to get into its s tr id e an d th a t in any case i t cami'ot b e des­ troyed. They po in t to th e w onderful advances m ade by science, our huge m anufiacturing p lan ts , g re a t c itie s w ith all th e com­ plicated services v^hich go to m ake and keep th em in being, the annihilation of tim e and space, and' th e g re a te r am enities of life now w ithin th e reach o f th e average individual, w hich were a few years ago only enjoyed by th e priv ileged few. If, say they, man is so clever th a t he, has be^n ab le to accom plish all thete things, w hy can n o t h e solve su'oh a sm all m a tte r as the necessary economic read justm en t? .' A nd i t is such a natural state of mind, e s p ^ ia lly to th e dw ellers in b ig cities, surrounded as they a re w ith m any m onum ents to man^s skill in the material. D oubtless th e peoples o f Babylon and E gypt, of Rome and Greece, and of those, g re a t civilizations whose re ­ mains litter the jungles, th o u g h t and spoke in th e sam e w ay in their heyday.

F or, an d herein lies the whole difficulty, i t is n o t m a n 's know ledge and ab ility to , apply ihal_know ledge^w hich.-are..,at-_-fault,^but^is^.insensate^ and selfishness.- The-disease, w hich th rea ten s-to destroy ci^iz^tion is not of th e m ind b u t of th e heart,, and , the re fo re , ' more""diflicult-of cure. ; • And there a re those, n o t - so num erous an d branded as pessimists, who hold th a t o u r civilization is fin ished w ith th e . war bringing it possibly to a n ea rlie r g rav e th a n m ig h t o th e r­ wise have been th e ease.
