IL will be recalled that when the
American fleet bombarded Matanzas
g. ,. in 1898 only mule
was killed by the
hail of shot and
shell from the Yankee guns-or, at
least, so the Spaniards declared. At
that time the occurrence was regard
ed as joke, but its humor was lost to
n very considerable extent when Span
iards, instead of mules, became the
targets of American marksmen. New
ertheless the Spaniards are still
amused over the mule incident, and
noted Spanish sculptor has just CHS
eled in marble a reproduction of the
Matanzas victim. This sculpture will
be exhibited in Madrid, and no doubt
will please the Spanish people. If it
amuses them we certainly should have
no objection. 1t was the only incident
in the war that could be regarded as
a joke from their point of view.

Now comes the suggestion for an
c.. after the manner
of civil courts, and
it emanates from a
New York state judge. The civilized
worlds judicial system is fine" he
said. land our methods of presenting
evidence, and the rules governing its
weight comes as near to the demands
of justice as it is now possible to get.
IL courts do SO well with civil and
criminal actions, why not let them
settle military actions? Not arbitra-
ton: that won't work. Wars must
be fought out, then why not fight
them out before a bench of qualified
judges2 Let war preparations go on
as now. Raise, drill and equip armies,
build great fighting ships and con-
struct forts. These are the things
that now settle wars in the field; let
them be the evidences to settle them
in court. When two nations cannot
agree, instead of jumping at each
others throats they go into the war
court. One makes a declaration of
war, the other submits or else an
nounces her determination to fight
Then. as in other cases, the evidence
is weighed. The sinews of war are
presented by each side. They infinitely
set forth their number of fighting
men. arms and ammunitions, money,
available assets, credits, reserve force,
fighting power of ships, with their
numbers. forts and their strength,
and every item that could possibly be
a factor in the clash of arms. The
court considers all of these and de-
oides-in light of precedents-which
side will win, and renders judgment
accordingly. Then the parties can
begin peace negotiations the same as
though a long and bloody war had
been fought"
