The subject of war and waste was dealt with by Professor Jordan/ of California, in an address at Melbourne last week. There was, he said, nothing in the world for Great Britain and Germany to q\iarrel over, and no pretence of anything. There was no money to carry on a groat war, so much, being wasted in_ for' war. There could not be a great. European war, because tlio interests of tho people were so interlocked. There never had been, and thero never would be, a humano war. One of the frnits of warfare was the perversion of history. The army of no country, accord.uig to the history o'f that country, had ever been defeated except through treachery. Professor Jordan brushed asido in a phrase or two all risk of Japanese invasions; declaring that Japanese capitalists would not, and Japanflse without capital could not, go r.broau. When money was wasted in war tho peoplo suifored. It had been truly said that'wars were not paid for in war times; the bill oamo later. But tlin great iadictmont against war was that ft claimed tho strongest men and destroyed them, leaving the race 'to bo propagated by weaklings. That was tho only thing that had over brought dowu a great nation. Woods' Great Peppermint Cure For Concha and Colds never fails, Iβ. 6d.*
