---

With each war cumulatively worse than the one which happened before, humanity hardly dares imagine the horrors of this latest and worst war which menaces it. Its work of self-destruction will be assisted by Nature, who will not herself remain idle. She too will scourge the world with flood and famine, pestilence and earthquake, storm and upheaval. Such a universal catastrophe will be more than civilized society can bear, more even than man's will to live can endure. Great destructive forces will be used by mankind in its process of self-annihilation. All this planet's people would not be destroyed by these forces, but the greater part of them would.
