The tale. This heavy burden is considered preferable to the still vaster expense and misery which wars ever cause. Efforts have been made, more especially of late years, to devise some means of lessening arma ments, of avoiding recourse to war, but no progress has been made. Armaments are continually increas ing, and wars have occurred in all quarters of the world within recent memory. It is true that the wars of the nineteenth century were not nearly so lengthy as those of previous eras. They were likewise less frequent. But what they have lost in length and frequency they have fully gained in expense and destructiveness. Since mid-nineteenth century there have been the Crimean War, 1854, the Italian Campaigns, 1859, the War of Secession, 1861, the Danish War, 1864, the austro-prussian Campaign, 1866,the franco-prussian War, 1870, the russo-turkish War, 1877, the China Japan War, 1894, the spanish-american, 1898, the anglo-boer, 1899, the russo-japanese, 1904. This list takes no account of minor wars, such as the Indian Mutiny, the Afghan Wars, Transvaal, 1881, Egypt, 1882 and onwards, greco-turkish, 1896, perennial disturbances in the Balkans, various wars in South America, and so forth. All these wars have cost in the aggregate many thousands of lives, many thousands of millions of money. And this within a space of only half-a-century - an odd afternoon in the world's history. It is unnecessary to go further into the historical aspect of the question. History shows an unbroken vista of armaments and wars. Innumer able books give the fullest particulars about wars, their cost and course, their effects near and remote. Phere is also a voluminous literature dealing with the various proposals for avoiding war, and detailing a thousand opinions for and against the possibility of its abolition. The plain fact is evident, that it has never proved possible to abolish armament or war, and that at the present day we are no nearer that.
