waters, which they have done for
nearly century the one craft flying
the Union Jack and the other the
Stars and Stripes. The only shots
ever fired having been salutes ex-
pressive OF amity and friendship
These have proved the most power
ful vessels Of war, the true Dread
noughts, since they have kept the
2eace,-by discharging salves OF good
will
"a nation has everything to dread
from gigantic armed Dreadnoughts,
nothing to dread from these true
agents of peace.
THE is the first lessons this CONT
nent gives to the world and especially
10 Europe which is in the vortex Of
miIitarism, armed not against outside
enemies, for the enemies OF Europe
are they OF its own household.
THE second lesson comes from the
South, our friends, OF Argentine and
Chile. Following the pernicious ex-
ample of nations hitherto, these Re
pubfcs struggled with each other un-
I'll the better way was revealed. They
then met and both cOnquered-by
making peace, by offering the olive
branch, not the sword. On the high
est peak of the Andes upon the new
boundary line agreed upon, these once
warning powers have erected statute
Of Christ, the Prince Of Peace, cast
cut of molten bronze cannon, its pc
desta1 bearing this inscription:
"'Sooner shall these mountains
crumble to dust than Argentines and
Chileans break the peace which at
the feet of Christ, the Redeemer, they
have sworn to maintain
'"The third great lesson which this
continent has just given to the world,
coming from the centre, is that of
the FIVE small Central American ma
tions whose representatives met in
Washington recently and agreed up
on the establishment OF Supreme
Court, to which all differences which
may arise between them shall be re-
fcrred. All Of these nations have
promptly ratified the action Of their
representatives.
Perhaps this is the most encourag-
ing step forward that has yet been
taken, for it promises to lead to the
nation of these five nations, following
the example of our own republic, con-
yerting number Of separate states
into one nation with internal peace

Virgil is understood to have lived
long on the bay Of Naples, and he
dwellg peatedly with unsurpassed eff
feet on the littoral phases of the sea
but on the element ut large he ex-
presses little but sense of vastness,
power, malevolence. It is a toilsome
and perileus e1panse, to be hurried
across and escaped.
Across the land the Romans went
with indomitable confidence, marking
their way with those works of pecul-
lar permanenee, so that today the Brit
on traverses the original roads they
built, and the Gaul walks beneath these
arches. But even in imperial times
the voyage from BruRdisium TO Greece
was something OF hardship. The
ocean was a thing "bestrew'd with
wreck and disaster" In its depths OR
On it's shores lay the bones Of those
who never received burial and hence
eould not pass over the styx.
