To the student of finance, as well

wars Of defense.
Every nation grows great in it's de-
lenses. mentally. morally aud physi-
cally. Every nation grows poor men
tally morally and physically by it's
wars of aggression.

may be answered by first asoertaining
the point Of aggression.
The great now factor in this situ-
alton to prevent the DEVELOPMENT ~
any aggression is Business.
The whole world Is engaged in
business as never before. Industrial
Germany IN thirty years has far ouf-
run military Germany. No building
OF dreadnoughts by England or ali the
Powers combined has exceeded the
business building. Throughout the
clYillzed world villages have becore
mill centers; towns have become
cities; empires have succeeded states
and the Empire in the modern world
