For the details of the armed invasion,
we refer the reader to the article, "The
United States in Foreign Military Expe-
ditions," by Professor Albert Bushnell
Hart OF Harvard University, in HAl-
PER'S MAG AZINE for September. Her,
our space limits US to give only Professor
Hart's c'nclusiOn as to their result. The
rst is the remarkable success of all the
serious interventions and expeditions
authorized by the federal government,
with the exception Of the invasion of
Canada. The second Is the increase of
territory and prestige which the expedi-
tiOns have brought to the nation, even
when unrighteOusly undertaken. The
third is the free hand which the United
States has so far enjoyed in entering
either American, Pacific, or Oriental ter
ritOry. But this last favorable condition,
he thinks, has come TO an end; henceforth
whenever we send our ships and trOOrs
far outside OF America, we must confront
a highly organized system of jealous for
eign powers; and we must expect to find
that no nation can share in the mastery
OF other hemispheres, and at the same
time be sole master in its own.
Another view Of the matter is taken in
the same magazine by James Bryce, NJ.
p, the author Of "The American Com
mOnwealth." In Some ThOughtson on thu
Policy Of the United States" he admits
that every extension Of territory by US
and our territory is now more than twice
as large as it was in 17S3-has been fol
lowed by increased power and prosperity,
but he doubts the advisability OF furIIir
extensions, especially to islands where
the populations differ in race from, and
are unsuited for colonization by the An
glO-SaxOn race. HepOints out that though
the extension Of the boundaries OF stat e
has throughout history, been deemed both
glory and benefit, always by mon
archs and usually by republics, yet the
question is debatable one to-day.
Neither France nor Germany is richer
or stronger by any Of Its colonial acquis-
itions, and in the case Of India, although

glish goods, and her administration sup
