Preparing for Armageddon

By Editor

By the decisive majority of 43 to 12, the United States Senate favored the naval appropriation bill, providing two battle-ships a year, and the appropriation of $133,000,000 for the navy. This is the largest appropriation, by $15,000,000, that has ever passed the Senate. We talk much of peace in these times, but it seems that a majority of the statesmen of the several countries believe that the only safe thing to do is to prepare for war. This shows that there is a deep conviction, in the minds of the most of the responsible men, that war is not only a possibility but a strong probability. Armageddon is not a great way ahead of us, and plainly the forces are getting ready for the conflict.
