TEN YEARS OF THE LEAGUE.

Trie League of Nations to-day celebrates its tenth birthday, and in closing the first decade of its existeope the League has justified from every point of view the neces sity of ita ereation and its exist. The ten years just closed have demonstrated that, as the life of nations goes, an international crisis arises on an average of at least once a year, from which-if there were no established machin-

ence.

ery for its pacific settlement-war might result. In the ten years of the League's existence that organ- ization has been called upon no less than twelve times to intervene in international disputes involving a score of different nations, any one of which differences might have resulted in armed conflict. These twelve dispute, now nearly all past and forgotten history, but fire brands of war at the time, are as
