NEED AUTOMATIC TELEGRAPH.

The strike OF the telegraph operators
has doubtless suggested TO many minds
the advance that would be made by the
Introduction OF automatic printing tele-
graph instruments. The process OF
transmitting information by telegraph
might then be reduced by the elimina-
ton Of two distinct stages-that OF send

that Of receiving II and translatlng It

THE CRUSADE AGAINST WAR.

Had you wished to know the full
sweep and trend OF the pacific move
menJ, you had gone. as ] did. among
the unofficial delegates, at The Hague
conference. They were many. W.
T. Stead presided over a club in the
Princessengrach The Baroness Won
Suttuer. who wrote that eroch-maklns
book, Lay Down Your Armsi" had
her pacific circle. The peace assOcia-
tons were represented by men and
women from every land.
Among trem you met neither irony
nor disillusion. As you listened 10 them
you realized that the Great Ideal has
made its way into the remOtesL parts
of the earth: that Il has become part
Of the Intellectual life of mankind. The
most potent delegates were those I'M
accI edited members of the peace leagues
and associations who represented the
heres OF far-off Java, Of far-of Kan
Eas, of Norway OF England They were
not worrying about DarWinian laws of
equilibrium.
II may be that they are not practical.
Eut they are preaching crusade-in

the governments with the theory OF

their enthusiasnls and lawless idealism.
You see, they discussed only how peace

sal; not upon them was laid the dipiO-
matte duty of seeing how peace might
