mites, as it renders every one of us, dependent upon others dependent upon the work of tho world proceeding uninterrupted
 l am not suggesting that nation Is not something more than the individuals that compose 1t. As a great English statesman has said: "The corporate reality of nation is not a fiction. It can triumph whole. It can suffer as a whoe.' These considerations point, however, to ideals, to sentiment, to that nobler form of patriotism to which I before alluded. They do not embrace aggressive war, or annexation or conquests. If we are, however, to progress to continue increasing the happiness of the greatest number, is it not essential to establish the proposition that az gressive war, even when victorious, upon our civilized neighbors, brings no single material advantage to the ordinary citizen? If we can do this, we have made great stride toward Peace. What have the intelligent and virtuous German people gained by the act of their statesmen in wrestling Alsace and Lorraine from France? Was any single Pomeranian peasant Bavaran mechanic made happier or richer? If the clock could be put back would Prince Bismarck again annex those fatal provinces?
 We know the answer This raises further issue, that is to say the value to the German people of that huge indemnity paid to them af- ter the peace of Frankfort I should only weary you if were to develop this side of the problem but it is one of the most interesting chapters in the book of Norman Angell. merely wish to remind you that the payment of the war indemnity to Germany coincided with one of the most terrible economic crises in the history of that country which has been experienced in modern times
 Prince Bismarck told the Reichstag, with some pathos, that it in 1877 that he was struck for the first time by the general and growing distress in Germany compared with France But long before then his life was sombred by the doubts he never quite resolved, as to the value to Germany of the vast sums wrung from France.
 These questions are of such tremendous practical import. Look abroad over Europe. Everywhere a pressing dread of war. Every where gigantic increasing expenditure on ar maments There is no definite end in sight. What is worse, there is no prize at the end Either this vast waste of money leads to nothing or it leads to war In either case. who profits anything?
 Sir Edward Grey said short while ago that we all have a foreboding that in the long run exceptional expenditure on armaments carried

to an excessive degree must lead to catastro. phe, and may even sink the ship of European prosperity and civilization. What folly! But can you be surprised that this folly is justified by prudent considerations when you have very sane and moderate German writer of emnence, Baron Stengel, delegate at the first Hague Conference, declaring that Every Great Power must employ Its efforts toward exercising the largest influence possible not only in European, but in world politics, and this mainly because economic power depends in the last resort on political power"
 While from across the Atlantic Admiral Mahan reechoes the cry:
 The old predatory instinct that he should take who has the power survives; commercial markets are controlled by preponderant force, the ultimate expression of which is possession"
 The Admiral evidently shares in the belief that the interest of one nation lies in killing the industry of another; an Illusion of the eighteenth century. If these people are right, what is the hope for the future?
 Well, Angell's theorem is exactly the re- verse. It is that these hitherto accepted dogmas are false. Military power he urges cannot latently or actively control markets to its own advantage. Why? Because in world in which economic frontiers expand and con tract in infinite degrees and infinite directions yearly political entity does not coincide with economic entity, because civilized nations are not separate but interdependent organisms, and therefore wealth is intangible so far as confisction or conquest is concerned

The pressure of Fi- nance," he said, lis the one thing that will bring home to people the desirability of dimin- ishing the risk of war, and of keeping within bounds the competition in expenditure upon armaments'; and then he went on to explain that nations and especially politicians have got to be converted to the view that there is more profit to be obtained from Peace than from War. "A slow process" he said, and used the phrase, You want to produce atmosphere"
 Let us turn, for moment to defensive War. Every Power in Europe holds and perhaps be- lieves that its armaments are maintained for the purpose Of defense. In England we cer- tainly honestly believes that our fleet is kept up for defense and forn other hostile purpose.

even then he could not imagine what 1t had to do with whiskey
 He soon found out; for everything was quite ready, and the custom was clearly in full swing. In the cloak room stored a number of strapped trunks and suit cases labelled in the names of various fictitious American citizens and crammed with bottles of beer, wine or spirits. From these he was handsomely re- galed and the trunk was then strapped up again, so that if the police entered that temple of abstinence, the management could profess ignorance of the contents of luggage left in it's charge. Now, suppose my friend had drunk four times as much whiskey as he wanted, and rolled dead drunk down the front steps of the hotel could he have fallen lower than the lowness of that exquisite legal fiction?,
 See what number of new sins the "dry State" succeeds in creating, in the course of failing to cure that of drunkenness. The man going to the hat room has all the drunkenness he wants, with the following agreeable addi- uons:

the darkness is penetrated, and just as at the end of the eighteenth century the French mind gave new impetus to European ideas, explosive in its violence, the French mind to-day has great opportunity to grapple with situation as ruinOus and fatal to the happiness of the masses as was Pancien regin,e. I mean the over whelming and impovershing cost of nronor. tion for war. ..
 1 ask myself continually, and ask you what is the idea that unde,lies the constant menace of war?
 Is it not frankly belief in the efficacy of war, belief that there is an advantage to pc got from attacking ones neighbor, WrestlnS something from him, and forcing him under the caudine forks?
 Suppose the economic thesis is true, that no material advantage of any kind can be wrested from the vanquished without an equal price to be paid by the victor.
 Would not this truth, when grasped, com pletely change in the long the belief of which I have spoken?
 If it is true that international obligations the web of mutual engagements, the 1nterde- pendence of finance and commerce. are all so intricate that injury done to one great na- tion reacts all the markets and nations, so that it is not worth the while of any great civilized people to fight successful war against civilized neighbor, surely public opinion about the efficacy of must, in the long run, un- dergo change Who believes now in the eff cacy of Ia corUee; yet it had advocates in it's time? When men realize that a conquered enemy means ruined customer, and that a ruined customer means dead loss to the con- queror will they desire conquest? When they understand that the financial relations of great civilized peoples and this is the supreme point. are only a symbol of others reaching into every branch of national life and national intercourse, will they still tolerate war?
 Primitive man fought of necessity. The death of his neighbor meant more game roots for himself; but civilized man, with thousand wants, cannot afford to slay those who admis- ister to them Early communities savage and Independent of each other could always attack with profit their neighbors. They could seize each others goods, women and slaves.

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY.

A sketch from life" Of Victoriano
Huerta opens the June number OF The
Atlantic Monthly" Its author, Louis
C. Simonds, informs US that, TO under
stand the man, one must know the
Mexicans, and then adds that he him
self does not know them yet, after
thirty years residence among them.
The sketch, truth to tell, leaves
Huerta's image very much as we have
learned to know 1t through his actions.
That Madero had made himself i'm
possible" does not alter the treacherous
complexion of Huerta's share in his
deposition. But the compact between
Huerta and Felix Diaz which involved
the deposition of Madero was entered
into and signed beneath the roof Of the
American Embassy and under the
American flag. 1t is perhaps not so
strange that Huerta, when begged by
Mr.. Wilson 10 end the bonn bardment,
should have regarded the ambassador
as actually speaking for the United
States" and therefore some excuse
may possibly be discovered for his act"
AS for the murder OF Madero, Mr..
Simonds can do no better than to give
Huerta the benefit of an extremely
questionable doubt. On the eve OF the
