A Novel Attraction

Atlantic City will have a new live
attraction this year, not a sea serpent
from the north, out a real live whale.
Melted by fishermen off Novia Scotia
last week a young whale was rushed by
express 100 miles to that resort in a tank
car and placed in the big aquarium of an
enterprising amusement magnate on the
beach front. The whale is the property
of A. M. Renshaw, of Novia Scotia. It
is Of the beinga, or white species, weighs
200 pounds and is IS feet long.
The whale stood the trip better than
many a human e~xcursionist, and cele-
DRAFTED its advent in the aquarium by
spouting a stream of water over delight
ed onlookers.

A Worlds Boycott For Peaos.

n Wofld>s Boycott For PeaCo
At present there appears to be ne
way Of enforcing the will Of the DOW
ers, which act through The Hague
court or in The Hague peace confer
ence. 1t has been suggested at random
that the powers appoint a world DO
liceman to enforce whatever may be
duly declared for the best good Of all.
That Is a war proposition at the out
set, for it is plain that no nation would
submit to discipline If 1t could muster
strength to tackle the policeman. In
time we should hear protests Of arbi-
trary rulings and combinations Of
strong powers to control the weak, and
If great wars should be avoided new
ertheless ideal peace would still be
only a dream.
Some day, If The Hague idea pre-
walls, there may be a court with a fixed
code of international law. No self re-
specting nation will stand out against
a court which 1t has helped to create
unless there shall be vital difference Of
opinion as to the rulings in special
cases. Perhaps the surer way Of bring
ing a nation to terms will be some
thing in the nature of a commercial
boycott such as Napoleon tried to work
against England. Beginning in 1909,
the French emperor tried for two a
to bring England to terms by destroy
ing her maritime trade. By the ia
Berlin decree Of 1905 the British
islands We're declared in a state Of
blockade, all English merchandise was
lawful prize, and trade In English
goods was prohibited. England at
once made reprisals. but by his victory
at Friedland in 1907 Napoleon won
Russia to his scheme, and the ports Of
that country were closed to English
trade. English goods were burned in
France and in many countries under
Napoleon's control, and manufactures
sprung up all over the continent, much
to the loss Of England. But the system
was a mistake. Russia dropped out in
1910, and the scheme collapsed with
Napoleon's fall. England was too pow
erful IN the seas.
Had Napoleon made himself master
Of all the continent Of Europe his CON-
mercial war upon England would have
ruined her trade completely. But all
the powers hated him even when they
gave In to him. It would be different
where all the powers should unite to
discipline a single power or a weak
combination. Judging from the impor-
lance which all nations set upon inter-
national commerce In this era, 1t would
that no nation would or could en-
dure the enforcement Of a decree Of
universal nonintercourse. All the ma
lions would suffer, but the chief victim
would be the nation shut off from all
Its fellows. Strong nations would not
be inclined to break the national faith.
But should one refuse to obey The
Hague tribunal 1t would be simpler
and cheaper to discipline her by the
than by war.
