AS the end of the year draws nigh we

In South Africa and there were trouble

peace is broken. II broken al all, only by

and in Africa, where the Mad Mullah has
attacked the British. And not only IS the
world at peace, but the great nations are
more securely linked together, perhaps,
than they ever were before. New forces
for peace are at work, especially two OF
he strongest possible world influences; an
organized and closely knit commerce,
which none can afford to disturb for fear
of a lasting loss of trade and, in particular,
the overwhelming commercial power OF the
United States, which would gain a still
surer lead by the suspension OF Industrial
activity in any important country. The
little periodical adjustments of power and
OF privilege that the nations used to make
by special treaties were crude and weak
the compelling power of modern commerce
and all that It implies. The most recent
wars wei really only frontier wars.
Men without historical knowledge easily
believe that their own era is a new era in
the word. But men with historical knoNl-
edge now see international conditions that
are radically different and radically better
for peace than any of the battered cen
turtles behind US knew. The unfettering OF

The rapidity and absolute accuracy with
which drawing or photograph can be re-
produced and made ready for the press
has been the making of the illustrated
daily papers. At first the pictures
were very crude, seldom more than mere
outlines They We're made by what
is known to the craft as the mud"
or chalk-plate process, which is now used
only for occasional map or diagram work.
Inc making of cuts in this manner is
briefly as follows: A steel plate is thinly

The theme of the cartoon was an adj

attention of the casual reader to advertise
