 Has war ever settled anything which migh; not have been settled better by arbitration" asked Mir Carnegie.
 NO: never" he replied. "No tru CT inference was ever made than may be found in Mntou's query. penned thrco centuries a-o and never an ! swered What can war but wars breed?'
 "war can breed only war Of course. peace inevitably must follow war, but, truly no peace ever was born of war. We all revere the mem ory Of him who voiced the warning fin time Of peace prepare for war; but. as a matter of fact. we all know others inevitably must follow i's dan gcrous lead.
 Hence. and heace only, the huge armameuts which have oppressed the world. making it's most peaceful years a spectacle of ssdness-a spectacle of men preparing and prepared to fight with one another Sooner or later men prepared to fisrt will flight huge armameuts and armies mean huge battles. huge battles mean huge tragedies.
 "This never has been otherwise and never can be. Peace can come only when mankind abandons wsr1ui preparation. And SO seem to have repli ed to your inquiry with an an swer with a tail 10 it: and the tail is more important than the answer. for the answer merely says that war never settled anything which might not have ben settled by arbitration. while the tail proclaims the folly of world prepared for wag-
 How To Prevent War.
 Armament must mean the pse of armament, and that is war. Ii we arc to prevent war we must prevent pre- narration for war. just as il We are 10 prevent burglary We must prevent preparation for burglary by prohibit ing the carrying or the instruments of burglary The only cure for war INT. Carnegie in speaking italicized tte word "cugeD "is war which de feats some one. but two men who are urarmcd are certain not 10 shoot at one another Here, os in medicine prevention is much better than cure But how about our spanish war?' asked. Surely it was not greet which sent our men and ships t' Cuba"
 NO" said Alr Carnegie. "that Wa not war. but world-policc work.
 "Our skirmish wi,h Spain was most unusual international episode We harmed none of the peple O the land wherein We fought bu taught them what we could Of wis self-goyernment and gave them ind' pendance. To battle for the liber' ton of the slave is worthy work an this Of ours was such a battle.
 "Our Spanish var was not the on growth of our rivalry with any on or any ones with us; it was the ma ifestatiou of our high sense Of rospo sibility as strong and healthy huma beings for the welfare Of tho wea and oppressed.
 That Was Police Work.
 "It did not make toward iuiltarisI on this continent, but tne reverse few months it established perm nent peace where peace dad been stranger. 1t was police worS on tl highest plane, substituting oraer i' disorder"
 eBut did it not emphasize the ne' for the maintenance, even fetc' oI competent and efficient naval al military force?' l asked.
 Mir. Carnegie shook his head el phaucally.
 That is the old, old argument cr' hing up again said he, the arg ment that a provocative is preVe tative For as Co maintain 5'N army for the purpose of preVenn war thereby would be as sensible for each of us to be afraid to wa about except with lignmins F down his back, since men have be struck by lightning. No nation war 10 fight us. We have friends thFous
