Author Description

Excerpt from Scribner's Magazine, Vol. 78: July-December, 1925 Even the active defenders of war, who place military preparedness in the front rank of national policy - even they, as a rule, deplore the necessity. As for the few persons who find in fighting a normal and desirable part of conduct, it is fair to surmise that this finding of theirs is a rationalization of one's military occupa tion, or of militaristic attitudes, or of the conduct of the nation that they love.
