zi supplied — for what ? But let us hope that the German emperor was wrong in his prediction. All this may not suggest the prob- ability of our becoming involved in war in the near future, but it does most certainly suggest the possibility of our becoming so in- volved at any time. Thirty-one years is the longest peace period we have ever enjoyed. It is now over thirty years since we last sheathed the sword. We boast of being a peaceful nation — are we ? Let us look to- the record. From 1775 to... 1875 we devoted one-sixth of our time to war. Think of it, an average of five days out of every month for a hundred years! From the beginning of this century to the present time, we have spent over one-tenth of our time at the trade of war, and during the last eighty-five years have, with pos- sibly one exception, carried on more warfare than any of the great nations of Europe, or of the world for that matter. And all this in addition to our Indian troubles, which are an offset for desultory fighting of Europeans on the continent of Africa and in the remote corners of Asia.
