Mrs. George Shea. of Duluth, Mimi.
who was visiting her sister, Mrs.
English, at Alki Point, was robbed
of $4,000 in paper currency, Mon

opportunity on holiday, and the
money was left between the sheets

visited in the city. On their return
they found that burglars had ran
sacked the premises and stolen the

GEORGE MEREDITH s ashes were de-
MED resting-plac in Westminster
Abbey where all England's i'm
mortals find sculpture. The action
of the Dean in refusing the same is
severely criticized. 1t was because
he was Free Thinker, who are not
deemed worthy of sepulture in So
called sacred grounds.

Are We to Have Peace ?

Andrew Carnegie may not know
anv more about it than the most
humble citizen, but as it is generally
conceded that money talks, his
opinion is quoted as authoritative on
the subject of the probability of a
war between prominent nations, by
the leading newspapers of the Old
World and the New.
And his manner of avoidance, it
will be noted is the very one which
NAV involve the civilized world in
what would be literally war of ma
tons. He notes the alleged proba-
bility of Il conflict between England
and Germany. as a basis for his
gloomy forebndingS, and urges that
the time has come when intervention
is necessary to keep these diSturbers
within bounds. lie asserts that
never, in our day, has the world ;
peace been so seriously threatened.
Great Britain. he says, has dis
covered in Germany menace to her
existence. Germany, having equal
rights upon the sea, fails to recog-
nize the right of Britain to continue
forever as mistress of the ocean
France, Japan and Russia are all
building Dreadnoughts, which haze
returned to plague the inventor
Last of all, Austria announces that
she has resolved to build three Dread
noughts, an ominOus decision, in
deed, and suggestive of German al
lance. All Europe is awake to the
presence of great impending dan
ger Within a small radius the two
fleets of Germany and Britain will
operate, often in sight of each other.
The rival crews will regard each
other with suspicion, jealousy and
hatred, and in this only too truly
representing the feelings of their
countrymen.
Then Mr.. c. proceeds to show how
easy it would be for these two ma
tionS to get into trouble. AS the
man is the boy eXemplitied, so is the
nation, often under the leadership
and control of some bully intent upon
individual profit, or possibly the
bubble fame, an exemplification OF
nations.
Suppose that, some day, a few
marines ashore from ships of the
rival navies will have an encounter.
Perhaps under the influence of liquor
they will each exchange blows. One
is wounded, blood is shed, and the
pcnt-up passions of the peoples of the
two countries will sweep everything
before them. Thus a trifie may suf-
flee to produce war :"
While the preparations now being
made for mastery of national SUI
premacy when a contest for power
may come, we hold to the opinion
that all increase of the means of de-
structiOn tends to delay the use
thereof. Analogy shows this to be
true. A bully places a firm reliance
upon a club, or possibly no other
weapon than his fists, in personal
encounter, but he soon COWS when
confronted by a pistol, or other fire
arm, which Immediately places hin
at infinite disadvantage. The Dread
noughts should, we think, be regard
ed as messengers of Peace rather
than emissaries of resistlcss War.
