WHO?
I "Who will rule the world in A.D. 12150? What -will be the dominant [power then?" Those are the questions of extraordinary interest raised i by iMr Rtidynrd Kipling in his latest story, "As Easy as A.8.C.", in tho London. Magazine. He «ot only raises thorn but answers them; and his answer is—Traffic! and some of the things he says are of value. Traffic is going to inake war--absurd. Mr' Kipling imagines A.D. 2150 as a perfected aerial age. The nations of the .world ; have become educated beyond .the point uihkth. allows of international jealousies-and wars, and have appointed one hoard, tlhe Aerial Board of Control, to manage their public affairs: This Board Has hut one law and one object—the maintenance of traffic and all tl>at <Lt implies. The vastnees of the meaning underlying these simple words' is Ihrought out in enthralling fashion by Mr Rudyard Kipling. He tells.of tlie extraordinary adventures of the A.8.0., and draws such vivid pictures of tftie. world under this, new civilisation as makes the story a truly remarkable work. -»
