TO nrotect from punishment.

THE true end Of every great and free
people should be sclf-rcspecting peace;
and this nation most earnestly desires
sincere and cordial friendship with all
others over the entire world, Of recent
years, wars between the great civilized
powers have become less and less fire.
aucnt Wars with barbarous or semi
harbarous peoples come in an entirely
Inherent category, being merely most
rcgrcttable hut necessary international
police duty which must he performed for
the sake Of the welfare Of mankind.
Peace can only be kent with certainty
whore both sides wish to keep it, but
more and more tho civilized peoples are
realizing the wicked folly of war and
are attaining that condition or just and
intelligent regard for the rights of others
which viii IN the end, as We hope and
believe. make worldwide peace possible.
The peace conference at The Hague gave
definite expression To this hope and be-
lief and marked stride toward thcir at
tanment.

That expense would be the recognized

JOYS the privileged rate IS wholly out

secured admission only through an
evasion of its requirements or through
lax construction. The proportion of such
wrongly included matter is estimated by
postal experts to be one-half OF the
whole volume of second-claSS mail. If IL
