Methodist Pastor Calls At
tention to Vast Cost of
Modern Strife.

One of the most convincing argu-
ments against war was s%trikingly
brought wi by Rev. A. H. Thompson,
pastor of the First NJ. E. church of
this city in a recent rmo
In the course Of his remarks Mr..
Thompson called especial attention
to the inadequacy of the returns made
by war for the great expenditure Of
money. lives. etc, which it entailed.
In this connection he pointed out the
following facts:
1T. has been shown that the, cost
Of h battleship North Dakota. $10.-
0G0,0 900, would put a $4,000 agricul-
tural school n experiment farm in
every county in the state, with an
school, which. if invested in North
Dakota farm mortgages. would yield
$4,000 annually for the maintenance
of each school and leave a $1,000. 900
endowment for the state agricultural
college. The earning power of the
100000 men lost in the civil war
at s400 each would amount in 40
length of time the $4,000. 900 men
slain in the last century would have
earned at $500 a year the enormous
total of sos, O00, 900. 900. Norman
Angel has written an epoch-making
book. entitled The Great Illusion
Among other things he shows that
political power and prosperity do not
&c together; that the relations Of
trade are 81 delicate that the con-
queror in war afflicts himself almost
as much as the conquered. and that
possessing colonies and receiving in
demnity brings no appreciate f1nan-
cial return. Only the merest refer
ence to his argument can be given.
Belgian 3 per cents are sold at 90;
German, at 80; Norwegian 3 1-2 per
cents. at 1902; Russian. at 81. Alsace
has brought no wealth to an individ-
ual German. Taxation goes back to
the conquered province. Swiss and
Belgian merchants are driving Eng

possesses twice as much as the middle

Washington, May 1S News reached
Washington through Soficial circles
tonight that General Garcia Pena, one
of the highest ranking officers In the
Mexican federal army had taken COM
mand OF the forces outside OF Vera
Cruz, superseding General Mas.
This news caused speculation
around the state. war and navy de-
partments. Some ofaciaIs were in
clined to attach special significance
to the move, seeing In il evidence OF
Huerta's intention to strengthen his
position around the port anu possibly
to assume an offensive atfittddie. y
On the other, hand, It was suggested
that General Mas conduct had dis
pleased the dictator and that his re-
moval probably had nothing whatever
