All Wars at an End

ANDREW CARNEGIE expressed the opinion at the recent meeting of peace delegates in New York City that the Balkan-Turko war closes the last chapter of the history of bloody wars between civilized nations. He further stated that the nations have come to look upon war with disgust, and that all international differences will hereafter be settled by arbitration. That is a pleasant dream; but where is the evidence of its realization? At this very moment, all the papers are discussing the probability of a war between this nation and Japan; and should this present flurry blow over, as it most likely will, the conditions that tend toward war are by no means removed. The fact that a few wealthy men give out of the hundreds of millions that they have made in building steel armor-plate for warships, a few millions to promote peace, should not bring them so suddenly to the notion that wars are at an end.
