The fifth war , tho War of I84£ was so succoasful for Abbicanniay that 
’  ‘ghe succeeded in freeing the Calvorinian nation fron tho pewors of glande 
linia, but failed to have the desired effects of the child slave horrorse 
Simller nations not muied had been overthrow by Glandelinin, millions of chid 
childven alono had beon carried off, and for fourty years, tho poor shiidp 
children iad lain blound and bleeding in those Glandelinion child slave 
‘. pelsons of horror, inploring for help frou bondage soouingly in vaine 
No slavery had been as cruel and shocking as this, and Angolinin h- herself 
looked on jn horror, bat as long as Hanson or his brother did not nake anyioye 

‘that ‘throatomad war with Glandelinia, nothing could be donde — 

During the bloodiest war of cighteon fourty three, the Calverinian cointry 
“Ss guccosded to Angolinin, and Abbieamia, and this brought the first serious tr- 
- tyouble between Glandelinin and Abbioannda, which led: to tho destruction of 

the ship loaded with children, and tho Kings Wife and daughter and waich 

caused the Kings death whon ho hoard the novwse At tho sane tine Abyssinkile 
lvthad desired to make a junction with Angolinio, and at this novws glande 
linda went sade mad, and struck a blow against Abyssinkile, but Abbioannia 
in the war of eighteon faurty ong put a stop to her folly. : 
. Only two years later after the groat war was Oval, the child slavery which 
hnd.‘only slackened, only was renewed and expanded 50 rapidly that the ; 
 Zdysnernannia councils rushed orders for the crushing of that worse of evils 
and so war was declared, and Calverinin invaded, the foe driven aut, and 
their om couj try invaded by the Abbicanninns, and the wicked nation brought 
to her kneese Saae of the most terrible things in tho first part of the 

‘story are the ravages caused by tho Glandco-Angolinian war, and by typhoons 

of great and destructive forcaeGrent heat waves moving northward cross 

the Calverinian country, and also the cool Angelinian seas, and as it swoeps
