number 650 and are increasing in

They patrol the streets exactly as

curbing drunkenness, and guarding
important buildings and dignitaries

from the vampires of the streets,
their ability to detect a wanton, mis-

Bear and Little Bear were beginning him, and Friend Blue Jay straightway

The animals came running from

had to keep dancing and dodging ,to
protect his feet and head; but that was

Present Influences at Work Tend to

Make Wars Impossible.
To say that humanity has learned'
a final lesson from the great conflict
in Europe and that this lesson, ham
mered home by the terrible losses 1n
men and money, will be sufficient tai
surance against going to war is bt
yond reason. And yet the influences at
work now against war, though proper-
ly snowed under by the justice of the
present cause, will increase so greatly
as to go far toward making future
wars very unpopular with the ruling
masses of peoples who will elect gov--
ernments and male 'the laws of na-
tions hereafter. --
All depends, then, on these govern-
ments, the influence they can bring
to bear on any strong people and the
extent of their ambitions to outstrip
another nation by fair means or. foal
hi the race for commercial supremacy.
'We can best hope that nations iii
this respect will be like business men
under the wise laws of one nation-
content to peaceably compete and to
accept defeat entirely through in-
ability. Ambition, like fire and water,
is a line thing for the human race,
but only when kept within bounds arid
properly controlled.
