all international disputes; ever since
mans creation. Arbitration. it is
true. offers safe and sane medium
for settlement Of differences, but
as long as nations refuse to choose
this method of adjusting their con-
tentiuns or seeking other peaceful
means as q solution for the avoid
ance of recourse to arms. so long
will wars be inevitable: just so long
will war. as means to settle diputes,
be predominant!
Patriotism is an other feature that
has all important barring on the
conduct of the nations; factor
difficult to submerge in information
al disputes, one, that say what We
will, will always be an evident
umbling block in the way of ami
cable adjustment of international
diputes. But. eventually. when
civilized nations see, and feel, thru
bitter and repeated experiences. the
cruel absurdity. the sanguine ter
rors and ravages of warefare as con-
Quoted in this century, they will
embrace world patriotism, in
which national patriotism will be
incident to the greater and progress
slve movement toward universal
patriotism, namely, that of arbita-

peace and prosperity of all national

ternath-the Interpretation of those

sight or hearing, the loss to those
widowed and orphaned and depend
ant on the breadwinner who has
fallen or been crippled. Then the
plaques and disease caused by the
unsauitary condition of trenches
and Indictment weather ETC.; these
all must be listed on the side Of toll.
Then the climax-what will be
the final outcome of the titanic
struggle in Europe, for instance,
Will the world cease TO revolve,
and will the realms of the combat
ing nations be left in darkness?
No, the world will continue on in
its unvarying way. through all
things. whether they be peace or
conflict. 1t is true there will be
some changes, many change IN the
lives Of men and nations; monarchs
may be dethroned Or exiled; but
Republics may take the place of
mouarchies, but civilization will
take its own good time to achieve
the rewards of experience.
AS to the present war in Europe,
it's origin, its effect and final result,
much can be said pro and con; but
slript of all its heavy veneer of in

jealousies the tact that the whole

years to come, more will deny. 1t
is true that some nations may pros

their commerce. in supplying the
necessaries of life to the peoples
ravaged by the war; this is merely
incidental to it and seldom of per-
manent quality, but misery, debt
and battered are the usual exac-
lions of war, however.
