ron PEACE AGAIN.

II Is said that the agitation for Eu-
ropean disarmament according to the
ideas Of the Car, Is being revived. The
subject, 1t appears, was discussed dur
ing the recent visit of the King Of Italy
TO Russia, and Victor Emmanuel is
said to have become convert TO the

the Gar In bringing about the much
needed reform

powers would undoubtedly have the
support OF most Of the smaller countries
Of Europe, and together they would
form a kind Of peace-unlon that would
count for something, The result Of the
congress at the Hague makes a deter
mined movement for gradual disarma-
ment more probable Of success than II
was before that congress. For the es-
adjustment Of peace tribunal does
away with the necessity Of armed con-
tests In great many eases. Disarma-

Ever since the Hague congress, pessl-
mists have taken occasion to refer to
that event as farce and failure, But
without sufficient ground. Nobody could
reasonably expect, that change as
radical as that contemplated by the in
vilation to the nations OF the world to
come together and discuss the subject
could be effected at once. But the con-
gress was nevertheless OF great lm-
portance. II called the attention OF the
world to a subject that previously was
contemplated only by comparatively
few. II opened the eyes OF the many
to the possibility Of national existence
without unbearable military burdens.
Ideas were there conceived and given

on and accomplish their mission.
Just at present, the world has learned
that nations which spend their best en-.
rsy on military establishments, can.
not compete with those that invest their
capital their genius their strength in
industrial enterprises That is strong
argument in favor a halt In military
activity. 1t is an argument the force Of
which cannot be lost on the statesmen
Of Europe.
