He illustrated his points with first hand stories wherein it was again manifested that “truth is stranger than fiction." Mr. Mor- gan closed with an appeal to all present to do their utmost to prevent the possibility of a repetition of the ghastly spectacle of war. Mr. Bray also gave many very humorous and striking stories illus- trating the terrific strain on mind and body and spirit through the ex- periences of active warfare. He also gave, from his very full experience in the Veteran’s Bureau, many illus- trations of the grim and sad results of war during the long years of the “Old Soldiers wh never die, but simply fade away.” The horrors of actual warfare were indescribable, said Mr. Bray. They had to\be ex- perienced to be appreciated and the aftermath was almost as bad as the experience itself, to many men. Mr. Bray closed with a strong appeal for all present to get bemnd the one con- structive effort to maintain peace through the system of Collective Security as attempted by the League of Nations. He ad itted past fail- ures of the League ut pointed out that it is the only agency through which a united world force for Peace can manifest itself. Mr. Pugsley followed with a. brief application of the two addresses and the reasons‘why sucn a program had been chosen for thu occasion, again stressing the fact that Peace can come ONLY THROUGH PEOPLE Both men were therefore in posit- ion to tell something about the grim and stark realities of War both dur- ing its active course and in the longer war for reâ€"establishment since the war.
