AFTERMATH OF WAR.
MISERY AND MALEVOLENCE. A DEGENERATE WORLiJ. London, Nov. 25. Mr. Winston Churchill, Secretary of State for War, in a speech in London, said that tlie state of the world at present in no way betokened tne endurance of peace except that the lighters were exhausted.
People talked about the world on the morrow of the war as if it had been transfigured into a higher form, but actually we had been transformed into a sphere lower than before the war. Never before was a more complete callousness and indifference to human life and suffering manifested throughout the world. Europe was a seething scene of misery and malevolence. That this was not dangerous for the moment was merely owing to the exhaustion of the people.
