1t is the long lesson Of the history
Of warfare that the first power to use
effectively a new invention wins its
way. To refuse to make use of the
material means which others utilize
is suicidal. This is an ugly prospect !;
and any bond or pledge mutually
agreed upon only gives an advantage
to the least scrupulous We know now
that treaties may be worthless. All
that can be done is to study the means
of counteraction; as trench warfare
was invented to parry gunf1re, and
masks to parry gas, so there must be
the utmost activity in sounding all pos
sible models of attack, and the sharp
est wits must be set to invent the need
full protection, writes Flinders Petrie in
the Yale Review. Such preparation
will be a cheap insurance to a nation

Numismatists have been gladdened
by the news that a single gold franc
has been struck as the monetary unit
which is the basis OF all financial
transactions of the League of Nations
1t is piece of gold about one-third
The size of an English farthing, with
the inscription on one side, IS. DIES N
(Societe des Nations) 1927; and on
the other Il franc orr In American
currency it is equal to O19o5 dollar
Apart from there being only one gold
frame, the remarkable thing about it
Is the shape, which is octagonal, and
maybe it will act as a protest against
the continued use of round coins, which
does not enable one, say, to tell the diff
ference by feeling between a six-pence
and half-sovereign.
