THE HORROR OF HORRORS.

"The peculiar terror and horror of the. present war in Europe, apart from the atrocious international means of destruction used by land, air, and sea against life and property, lie in the fact that whole nations of individuals who had no quarrel of any kind, and hundreds of thousands of whom have relatives and friends in the opposite camp, have been launched against one another by the operation of diplomacy," 6ays the Economist. "The peculiar atrocity of this conflict is that by means of organisation, Wealth, and credit superior to anything known in the past, the great Continental States have been able to force into the field and lead, or drive into the shell and poisonous gas zone all ornearly all the men of military age. This is the greatest marvel and horror of all the other marvels and horrors; for it comprehends and includes them all."
