chief END and aim OF the war was
universal in its nature. Autocratic
power attempted 10 impose its Will

divine purpose toward a greater
freedom Of mankind with a pro-
portionate moral effect upon it's
members.
or course, the more immediate
results towards reconstruction will
be mainly physical and political:
the erecting of shelter for those
whose homes have been destroyed
and restoration OF the devastated
districts and the esta blishment Of
government where the older re-
gime has been abolished.

ON EVERY SEA

The stimulation that the war gave
to the growth of American shipping
is shown in a new edition of Lloyd's
register, which reports that the sea
going tonnage of the United States
has increased 3S2 per cent in five
years. No longer dependent on for
eign bottoms, we are now in position
to retain at home the large ocean
carrying charges which formerly were
sent to Europe.
There are sentimental reasons. also.
which make it gratifying that we have
a big commercial fleet. There is
abstraction in the thought that the
American raveler now can sail the
seven seas on vessels flying the Stars
and Stripes, thus maintaining foot
hold on what is technically territory OF
the United States in all parts of the
earth.
The appearance of the Star Spang
led Banner in every quarter of the
globe open the sea-going ships also
will have the effect of bringing
closer to the peoples of he world the
power of the United States and real
zation of its increasing participation
\ in international commerce as as well
\ as political affairs
