D., of Harvard university, who delivered one of. the most forceful and frank addresses ever heard here, using as a sub' ject "This Bewildered World". After tracting the progress of nations and evaluating the impor tance of war?-up- to the Napoleonic wars, he then continued to the present and concluded that all wars, are not bad and all peace is not good and beautiful. He cited the Civil War'as being a good war" and the Reconstruction peri o.fs at> bad peace. The speaker ' spoke of how prejudice- reared its head at the Geneva Peace confer encp and -altered its real purpose.
