"The man I had been Wetting for?" "What did he owe it lo you for?" "For waiting." The magistrate took off his glasses and glared at the prisoner.

We are not at war for ter ritory or trade or to improve our position in the world, and we are fighting for democracy, for the spoil of the weak nations, and in order to chain the beast of Teutonic militar ism that would tread down the world. Such motives are altruism and very largely unselfish, but, as the Tribune points out. we could hate gone to war tor these reasons UlOlre than two yean RgO and we did not do so.
