But when I reflect quietly, I can't get away from the reasons for being a Pacifist. They are mainly two. There is first the appalling stupidity, wastefulness and in- justice of war itself, characteristics which grow from century to century, and now grow daily. If, like SolyvofF's Russian general, one caught a party of Bashi-Bazouks, red handed, I believe I should fall upon them with a clear conscience. At least, I know I should fall upon them, however I felt about it afterwards. My blood would ...be too hot for my peace principles. But war is very seldom like that. It is much more like the ancient vendetta in which you avenge a murdered man by slaying not the murderer, but some in- nocent kinsman of the murderer. How does it rectify or avenge Armenian massacres, to slay numbers of decent Turks in Gallipoli? What sort of punishment is it for the crime of the The 7^wo Swords. 35 Lusitania to desolate thousands of German homes, while the immediate agents and the responsible directors of the crime remain untouched?
