European Militarism.

For military and naval purposes the nations of Europe spend annually $750,000,000. They keep under arms continually more than 3,000,000 men, with six times as many ready to fly to arms when the word “mobilize” is spoken. It is estimated that thecommunity loses at least S2OO a year for each man who is kept under arms, and is, therefore, unproductive.
