By Max Nordau. the writer deeply d.
plores the growth OF military imperialism
in the United States and says that By the
admission Of militarism. which was for
merry excluded. America Is raising obsta-
cles to the entrance Of emigrants whose
only capital is their stroag working arms.
Speaking OF the future Of the new world
NOrdau says the opening Of the Panama
canal under American ownership will mark
the beginning Of a new epoch. The tragic
stage Of the worlds history, which In an
cient times centered In the Mediterranean
and which moved in the naval ages to the
Atlantic will then be transferred TO the
Pacific ocean.
At hrst the Anglo-Sa1on element will
seek to drive out the German and French
flags floating over single points in the
Pacific ocean. then the struggle Will be
carried further TO the AsiatiC coast, where
Anglo-Saxons and Russians will have to
decide the momentous world question Of
whether eastern and southern Asia shall
remain British or Russian
To this forecast Nordau adds "One
can only imagine with horror what such
a gigantic struggle OF nations and races
will eignify."

mond rings displayed on her fingers.
The attack was made In full view Of
scores Of merry-makers. Including the
womans escort
Miss May Matthews and Miss May Lewis
started out with their escorts for an auto
mobile ride and later went to supper.
Shortly after II O'Clock the start was made
for home. Something went wrong with the
machine and the two men got down to eX-
anime.
Miss Lewis held a handbag. which con-
tained o small amount Of money. On the
fingers Of Miss Matthews left hand glit-
tered diamonds, il is said worth FULLY 1880.
Suddenly from the crowd sprang a young
man, who held in one hand a knife. From
Miss Lewis he grabbed the bag she was
carrying. and then seizing Miss Matthews
by the fingers he drew his knife across her
knuckles. cutting deep cash.
The young woman shrieked. and her as
sailant without waiting to make another ef-
fort to sever her hand, brandished his knife

to the station. where he said he intended to
cut OF the girls hand for the rings she
