Nor, in view of the possibilities of the air-ships in the future, can it be said those lives were wasted.

But, except life, there was no other waste.

To perfect the automobile and the air-ship no women were driven from home and the homes destroyed.

No churches were bombarded.

Men in this country who after many years had built up a trade in Europe were not forced to close their mills and turn into the streets hundreds of working men and women.
It is in the by-products of the war that the waste, cruelty, and stupidity of war are most apparent.
