Armageddon Is Just Ahead
By Editor
On August 24, at the Mare Island navy-yards, in San Francisco Bay, the United States government launched what is said to be the largest collier in the world. The Navy Department claims that it was built quicker and for much less money than if it had been let out to some one of the many contracting firms. It was christened “Jupiter,” and is said to be the first of the “Dreadnought” colliers. Another one very much larger is being planned, and, following the idea that has obtained with the battle-ships, this larger one will doubtless be called a “superdreadnought” collier. There are so many men in so many parts of the world making such furious progress in the arts of war, that one could scarcely keep track of it all if he had nothing else whatever to do, and had free access all the time to all parts of the globe. We need to keep in mind the meaning of it. Armageddon is just ahead.
