PEACE 10 COMING.

WITHIN the last twenty-five
years conditions have been
brought about by the rapid prog
ress Of civilization that will
within the next twenty-five
years result in the disarmament
Of all the powerful nations Of
the earth. These conditions have
already made war between great
civilized powers, such as the
United States. England. Ger
many and France, impossible.
Germany owes England bill
lions Of money. and a war
between England and Ger
many, though 1t should re-
suit In complete conquest Of
Germany. would break every
man in England. The United
States owes England such vast
sums that a war between Eng
land and the United States
would bring about the same re-
suit. SO 1t would be between
any two of the great powers.
whichever was the conquerer.
The result would be the same.
Though there might be some
cause, the cost of victory would
be so great that the conquering
nation would be the sufferer

satisfactory Is Director Hammond's
work, not alone to his immediate COM

by white bandmasters. and they have
not always been In thorough sympathy
with the men under them. The success
Of this band disproves the oft repeated
statement that colored men will not be
led by colored officers in the army and
that they are better led by white men.
Director Hammond's men seem to
have responded more readily to his
methods of instruction than the white
officers commanding the post had ex-
pected, and the experiment Of a col.

has been shown to be such bowling
success that other worthy and com.

military service Of the United States
will now have little difficulty In finding

They are scattered all over Europe.
