Cost of Modern War.

The Anglo German crisis is only one
phase of the question in which every
nation, America included, is vitality con-
cerned. The impoverishment of the
world by war--even by war which is
never fought-is the most imminent evil
now threatening the race. 1t costs $10,-
100000 to build warship of the latest
TYNE. Each broadside fired by such a
vessel in practice or at an enemy costs
$4,000, and her guns are capable of
discharging six rounds minute. The
construction of these marine monsters is
proceeding at the utmost capacity of the
dockyards and gun foundries of the en-
tire world. The peace taxes of the
present are already heavier in the aggre.
gate than the burden imposed TO carry
on any Of the great wars in history

believe, who, knowing that through
their fault some mistake Of an injuri-

only to attach the blame to innocent

thoughtlessly and ignorantly, albeit in
good faith. The idea Is to examine
ourselves and methods before condemn
