toe time tor th* pholosophic historian ha* come. Thoughtful men distinguished between the occasion of
• war and the cause of th* conflict
The occasion of an explosion is a
^park. but the cause is the powder
aad /the air. The occasion of the
Revolution was a ship laden) with'
tea sailing into Boston Harbor; the
cause was the determination of the
Colonists to achieve self-government. The occasion of the war with
Spain .was toe pinking of t*ne
battleship Maine; bat the cause was
jthe explosion of a bomb in the Baltic City of Sarajevo; but the can**
waa the desire of the HohenzoQem
dynasty*, to extend tte depotfc rule
over aJl Europe. Th* occasion Of

the sinking of our mlerchant ships
