No. decidedly. I am not worrying

United States Army, told me. that the
fighting instincts of the man of the
future will be greatly modified and his
humanitarian instincts and sense of
justice will be developed, to the ad-
vantage of the race. Demonstrations
of truth based upon unimpeachable eX-
perimental evidence Will be generally
accepted in preference to the dictums
of tradition and the vagaries of super
stition. There is no reason to believe
that man will in future be endowed, at
birth, with mental or physical char

from those he now enjoys But the
average of human life will be con-
siderably prolonged by the general ap-
plication, in a practical way, of the
advancing knowledge relating to dis

THE human brain will undergo su-

him to embark upon some other ac-

Don A Algara was born in the City

native Mexico.
1t was in 1907 that he decided to
enter the diplomatic service. He took
an examination, result of which
he was appointed third secretary at
Washington in 1908. This service was
interrupted by commission from the
financial department Of his govern

SIX months in New 1ork.
Promotion to second secretary at the
legation in Cuba followed this. He spent
nearly d year at Havana. being charge

appointed second secretary at Rome.
Latin diplomatists like service at Rome;
1t has many attractions, but a pena ty

In Europe was snatched from him. He
