The mass\nof a people, ivho stay at home and hire others to fight, who sleep\nin their warm beds and hire others to sleep on the cold and damp\nearth, who sit at their well spread board and hire others to take\nthe chance of starving, who nurse the slightest hurt in their own>\nbodies and hire others to expose themselves to mortal wounds, and .\nto linger in comfortless hospitals, certainly this mass reap little\nhonour from war.

It is to batter down and burn cities, to turn\nfruitful fields into deserts, to level the cottage of the peasant, and\nthe magnificent abode of opulence, to siourge nations with famine,\nto multiply widows and orphans. Are these honourable deeds?\nWere you called to name exploits worthy of demons, would you\nnot naturally select such as these? Grant that a necessity for them\nmay exist. It is a dreadful necessity, such as good man must recoil\nfrom with instinctive horror; and, though it may exempt them from\nguilt, it cannot turn them into glory. IVe have thought that it was\nhonourable to heal, to save, to mitigate pain, to snatch the sick and\nsinking from the jaws of death. IVe have placed among the re-\nvered benefactors of the human race the discoverer of arts which\nalleviate human sufferings, which prolong comfort, adorn and cheer\nhuman life; and if these arts be honourable, where is the glory of\nmultiplying and aggravating tortures and death?\"\n\nThe Forum Exhibition, Stieglitz and\nthe Victim\n\nJ7LAMING RED, Irish Green, Saffron Yellow—a frame\nof square, heavy, black wood.\nBlack and atrocious Blue, rectangular carmine Red, half-\nmoons here and there, diverging lines of Brown—a narrow\nwhite oak frame.\nA broad stroke of green with purple daisies, white grass, a\nbunch here and a bunch there, red cactuses on the far pale\nhorizon, two figures with disheveled black hair, enormous\nnecks, heads bowed, the woman's breasts hanging to her\nknees, the man's hands reaching almost the toes of his feet\n—a rich, gilded frame.\nA naked woman, walking on air, yellow flowers beneath\nher, gray clouds above her, her right shoulder above her\nright ear, her left shoulder sloping nearly down to her left"}, {"page_pdf": 4, "page_imprimee": "568", "url_page": "https://bluemountain.princeton.edu/bluemtn/?a=d&d=bmtnaaq19160325-01.1.4", "texte": "BRUNO'S WEEKLY\n\nhip.
