...does not drink. He gets drunk. The occasions of his getting drunk are varied and sporadic. A football victory, a visit to the metropolis, a check from home, the end of the examinations, a large party, a small party, may serve as the whywithal of a "spree."

For instance, about 40 per cent of the total income of the Japanese people goes for taxes,--largely for the Chinese and Russian wars and their aftermath. As for Germany and all the other European nations, which we are told will invade America after this war, is it not clear that modern warfare requires first a long period of nursing the economic, financial, and human capital of the intended aggressor? that Germany's present successes are due primarily...
