That is, unless we can work things so that the war will actually im prove the world, then the whole thing is a mere bravvd for survival, a sordid “devil-take-the-hind- most” affair that means nothing except a narrow escape from destruction. But, to judge by some good books that are com ing out now, a number of people have made up their minds that the war shall mean something, that it shall actually leave a better world than it | found.' Certainly, I should think that you people who are ^oingi tp fight\the war would prefer for it to mean something, would like for thei discomfort, inconi- venience, and danger which you are going to incur ( Z7/z£. jCourOourn on .
