The New York Herald says: sit is
Significant to note that one OF the strong
est sentimnts in favor of arbitration
voiced at the conference held in Phila-
delphia yesterday came from Maj. Gen
Miles of the United States. army. "A

ligence and humanity or the age and
should appeal 10 the heart and Conscience
OF all honorable and patriotic men, In
one Of his latest public utterauces Gen,
Sheridan declared that the improvements
in guns and other weapons were tending
to make war so destructive and terrible
that some substitute for it was rapidly
becoming necessity, and the only avail
able substitute, he added, was arbitra-
ton. Gen. Grant SPOKE not less strongly
to the same eff eoj when he said
Though l have teen trained as a soldier
and have participated in many battles
there never was time when in my opin-
ion some way could not have been found
of preventing the drawing of tie sword.
l look fowrard to an epoch when court
recognized by all nations will settle in
ternational differences instead of having
large standing armies as they do in Eur.
ope.' 1t was fitting that Yesterdays con-
| ference should be held on the birthday of
Washington, who, so ear. testify warned his
countrymen against the danger of for.
eign eptanglements. The surest safe
guard against the danger is arbitration. q
If the civilian politician would leave
international disputes to the soldiers tt
settle they would have the best form o1
arbitration. There is no worse error than
assuming that because soldiers are fight
ing men they are disposed to war. They
understand too we'll the horrors of wal
not to avoid it when they can do SO will
honor. It is as absurd to accuse ply
stefan of propagating disease or clergy
man of encouraging sin because he live
by it, as to charge a soldier with urging
on contessw when he can find any pos
sible way of avoiding it. 1t is those wit
have no personal experience of the con
sequences of war who are eager for it.
