War HYAteriA.

Big military programs and Increase
of ornaments were excused by the ma
tions on the ground that universal pre-
paredncss would work for universal
peace. The argument didn't e to
be necessary after the peace agree
ments at The Hague. Still. 1t might be
better to make assurance dOubly sure.
At present the English people are In 4
state of mind for fear that neither the
universal peace cult 0 their own
armament will spare them the horrors
Of war at home. In other words.
their shops and their firesides are not
covered as they would like by that
peace Insurance for which they are
putting up hundreds Of millions.
The public advocacy of big arma-
ments can bu, affect peoples nerves
Big ornaments don't always win. And
England would be at the mercy Of an
enemy that could Outright its nary OF
lure it away from home waters, as the
French did in Nelson's time. Once

must have happened il an imagined
war can sci the nerves Of the whole

maximum tariff rates If duty. where
as pumps from Great Britain, Belgium
and Switzerland are entered at the
minimum Or .'ordinary'' duty, which
is 40 to CO per cent below the maxi

1t is plain from the %cOnsul's report
that other countries are now enjoying

proper to put the highest tariff against
the imports Of those countries which
discriminate against the United States.
