+    This lag of the military mind behind the actualities of current affairs has been tolerable in the past,  where steam and electricity have been our highest forms of power,  and TNT and similes mixtures, our highest explosives.  But now, we dare not have it;  and the tragedy is,  we do have it.  We have it and we venerate it,  and vote our military 20 billions of revenue a year, in peace,  while reducing our children, for their education,  college included, to 2-1/2 billions a year.
