WAR OF THE FUTURE.

PROF. SOMBART'S ORIGINAL VIEW.
"CHINA_MAIL" CROSS-WORD PUZZLE.
[SECOND SERIES.) -
on the NO. 12-$50 MUST BE WON
Some original views future of war are expressed by. Professor Werner Sombart, the well-known economist, in an inter- view in the "Pesti Hirlap, of Budapest."
We are, he said, faced with a strange paradox. War has always existed, and, in his opinion, must always exist. Ent the develop- ment of the technic of war may reach a point when war will no longer be possible. In modern war human beings, singly or in the mass, have become merely material to be annihilated, and the nations possessing the means of
sooner mass-murder must
or
later realise the aimlessness of wars of annihilation, which would react as harmfully on the victor as on the vanquished.
On this point Professor Som- bart advances a bold suggestion. He suggests that war will revert

For some weeks past the bandit had been uneasy because the whole of the Dobrudja population were assisting the police — who had hitherto seemed powerless | against the bandit in their search for him,
At length a strong detachment of police with boats and canoes succeeded In surrounding Terenty's hiding-place in the) marshes in the delta of the Danube. When the police opened fire Terenty was severely wound- ed in the face but tried to escape| in swimming ashore,
He was pursued and caught and taken to the nearest police'station.
Terenty's head was cut off and is now in the museum of crimino- logy in Bucharest.
