The War and the Future.


For several weeks past American
newspapers have been engaged in sol
emnly discussing the ultimate results of
the present war. so grave has been
the humor in which they have thus
commented upon the outlook for the fu-
ture that we chcerfuly welcome the
agreeable variation which Punch intro
duces in the amusing forecast which it
gives, in one of its recent issues. or
what may be expected to appear in the
New York newspapers in 1928 due to
the events of the present war.
Imagining thirty years to have in
tervened, this celebrated London pc
riodical first touches upon the great re-
union Of survivors of the battle of Ma
ntla to be held in Madison Square gar
den on May 2, 1928 OF this affair 1T
states that the New York papers VIII
come out on the morning of the day
following with the announcement that,
despite the ravages of time, there were
1000 survivors in attendance, and that
IN addition to letters of regret read from
the president of the United States ana
from the governors of Pennsylvania,
New York Cuba and Porto RICO, elo-
ouent addresses were delivered by Rev
II
ey Manila Brown Hon. Cavite G. Jones.
Hon. Philippine Olympia Green and vice
President Raleigh Concord Tubb.
Punch next discovers in one Of the
New York newspapers for 1928 the fol-
lowing paragraph:
The Patriotic Order of the Sons Of Cuban
Liberty gave an entertainment in their nan
at 40 1914 ROWerv last evening, the re-
cefpts Of which are to go toward building
a monument to the memory OF the 'HoaHs 5.iz
vino lost their lives in the late war. far
attendance was present. ana the musical
numbers were well rendered by MIS-. SAN
ttago Cortez CooGan CienfuegCs Murphy,
Amphitrte Cooit and Matanzas Johnson.
Mr. TTabana O'DOnoghue made quite nit
with his rectation Of when Gomez March-
ed 10 Dinner" Quite neat little sum was
realized.
SUI another paragraph which the
scissors Of Punch clip from one of
the New York papers of the same year
relates to a dispatch received from
Sampson, Ky. This is the paragraph in
question:
witch saws that John X. Lituej0hn, a gun
ner's mate on the Nashville in the late war
with Spain. aud who claims to nave nrGd
the first hostile shot Of the war, died IN
that town on Wednesday. We have no
wish to doubt the veracity of The sampson
