Elinor slowly drew on her engage

across the table. Although he was

Toward dawn the nurse slept In her
chair. Her cap had fallen q little
crooked. and the identifying hand

Political Economist
Will Cite Reasons
For Peace in Lecture

Word has Just been received that
DR.. Alvin S. Johnson. who is professor
OF political economy at Cornell Uni
versity. will be the chief speaker of
the evening at the peace mass meeting
which will be held in the Technical
high school auditorium, March 6, at
. O'Clock. Another speaker will also
be secured for the meeting. but DR..
Johnson's presence is sufficient to
make the meeting well worth attend
Ing.
The selection of an economist, a
practical man, used to dealing with
figures, causes and results, is but a
portent of the present tendency of the
peace movement. For years ardent
advocates decried war as barbaric, inn
moral, unchristian. To-day emphasis
is laid upon the economic loss OF
armies in time of peace, their engulf-
ing destruction in time of war, their
futflfty as a means of settling differ
ences, and the possibilities of nations
becoming civilized individuals and set
Ting their quarrels by means of jus
tice and courts. The new peace move
ment not only recognizes all of the
truth of the old, but adds the intensely
practical side of dollars and cents,
showing that war does not pay and
cannot accomplish the end for which
1t was created. at the same time offer
ing the world a substitute for this
milestone about the neck OF civil
ization. The Pennsylvania Arbitration
and Peace Society, of which q number
of prominent men of Harrisburg are
members, is arranging to bring DR..
Johnson to this city.
