Since 1868, with the general intro
duction Of the telegraph, the electric
cable and the modern system Of rail
ways, war has become IA matter Of a
few months at most In 1866 Prussia
defeated Austria in seven weeks. Prus-
sia defeated France in about two
months. The war between Russia and
Turkey began in April, 1874, and was
practically finished by the close Of that
year. The war between China and Japan
began about midsummer, 1894, and
ended in March, 1885. The present war
between Turkey and Greece seems to be
practically ended in about four weeks
from the outbreak Of formal hostilities
Ii seems TO be shown by experience that
two important civilized nations in these
days Of telegraph and railway cannot
conduct wars for any length Of time un-
less the contending countries are sepa-
rated by the ocean or some other natural
