 Tt is to be hoped that wars on large scale are now events of the past and that no recrudescence will occur But in spite of this confident hope. for some time-a long time probably it will not be safe to neglect the study Of fighting weapons.
 "No country must be allowed to ad- vance in this respect while we stand still. and though the provision of such appliances of horror and destruction will in all probability be limited great, lv in the future We must always be abreast of the world in the applica- ton of science to war material If war ever does recur. mechanism will largely supersede muscle, and enei- neering more than ever will sway the ultimate decision.'
