A Decade of War

By L. A. S.

“THE peace agreement at Portsmouth,” remarks the New York Mail, “closes a decade of almost continuous warfare. In the last ten years,” says the Mail, “there have been five great conflicts. The empires of China, Great Britain, Japan, Russia, and Turkey, the kingdom of Spain, and the American republic have all tried the arbitrament of the sword. Out of a total population of about 1,400,000,000 war has been the portion of perhaps 1,130,000,000. Nearly 3,000,000 men have seen service in the field.” L. A. S.
