The lion knows that if he allows his clawa and teeth to bo fled the s will not hesitate to use his, hoofs on the first possible occasion. But still the World wants disaimament and the lifting of the threat of war. between civilised peoples. We all know that modern science, would enable two adjoining Europeazi Powers to exterminate each other, and that politicians are quite fools enough to drift into war, "about a strip of useless territory or some of possession of eleven, taels of pre- tax not worth the annual pay of pared opium which was found in an army corps.
