story of the erection of the great
peace monument on the Andean
boundary between Chile and Argen-
tina. These countries were spending
five dollars annually per capita of their
/ population in preparation for war to
settle a dispute concerning their
boundary This was finally decided by
arbitration to the entire satisfaction of
both parties, thus averting an immense
expenditure Of life and money. The
statue of Christ commentaries the
event. L. 3. Holmes read a declara-
ton Of the recent Yearly Meeting of
Friends on the subject of Peace in
which they rejected the doctrine that
powerful armament makes for peace
and urge the use Of every available
influence to put an end to the deadly
competition whereby each nation
strives to Guido others in equipment
/ for war. Such competition once be-
gun cannot logically end, except in
national bankruptcy. Current events
brought out the fact North Carolina
1 by popular vote had endorsed prohibit
ton by a large majority.
