were the largest in Capital police an

numbering between 10000 and $4,000,

Despite the size of the crowd packed
in Pennsylvania avenue from building
line to building line in solid mass, the
police said it was the most orderly they
have been called upon to handle, The
great gathering was comparatively quiet,
and it was not until late in the evening,

was leading, that there was anything
like demonstration. The outbursts of
applause during the earlier part of the
evening were confined to handspring

CONFLICT AND COMMERCE

The current century will be an era of conflict be-
tween the white and colored races of the world pre-
diets Albert Sarraut, minister of the interior in the
French cabinet
M. Sarraut foresees conflict between Asiatc and
European people, with Japan, aggressive, canny and
alton of the whites. The prospect does not seem to
him pleasant for, he points out the colored
races are vastly in the majority, and possess more
than tWo-thlrdS of the worlds surface
For many centuries, it must be admitted the col
ored races-black yellow, brown and red-have been
dominated and exploited by the white It would be
only natural IT, sooner later they to unite for
revenge Such conflict is quite possible; and NJ
Sarraut IS right in saying that it would be terrible
calamity
Yet there grounds for looking on the future
with optimism.
The modern world, which sometimes seems so
dense IS slowly learning few things about interna-
uonal relationships. 1t getting away from the old
flagwavng patriotic attitude in which the bat
teshlp and the marine the only ENJOYS one would
think of sending to inferior nation 1t is passing
into the control of the bankers and the ndustralsts-
and however much that fact may perturb the socialist
it is immensely encouraging.
For these business men know that harsh unjust
measures do not pay The ways of peace are better.
1t be advantageous for nation to sell its
over that country's capital The salesman makes a
better international enissary than the admiral Mar
kets can no longer be won by force of arms
1t is this fact--this growing commercializaton of
the world-that leads to hope. Assuredly if the
nations continued to deal with China India and such
countries they have done for the past century, there
would some day be trouble, But they are adopting
new attitude the attitude of the business man. And
the business man knows that fighting does not pay
