These ardent British advocates OF the

one paragraph of prophecy which, what

entire. They assumed an attitude four
years ago which now appears to be com

Nicaraguan treaty five miles each side
of the canal are definitely annexed by

other lands for manufactures; when one
sees that the last, the greatest, resource
of every country, an appeal to national

the din of civil bloodshed, it does not
need much acumen to arrive at the con-
clusion that Mexico as a separate state
is doomed to extinction and that the
Stars and Stripes will float over all
