...world with law substituted for brute force, where sanity, reason, and counsel prevail, and where "all nations, big and small, unite into agreements regarding their common welfare on the basis of mutual understanding, conciliation, and cooperation". For the accomplishment of this, the speaker pointed out, the European countries must sink nationalism in internationalism, must demobilize not only their armies but also their jealousies and hatreds, "and tear down all trade restrictions, tariff walls, and passport regulations...

Or, what is more plausible, the Germans are simply indulging in a little family game of "passing...
...Frenchman, has made a forecast of the future that is half vision and half possibility. France, he says, has since the armistice developed projectiles so powerful that a dozen of them would wipe out a city the size of Berlin. Another type of bomb, lately perfected, will infallibly sink a cruiser at sea if exploded within a hundred feet of it. The Germans-General Maitrot seems to have certain information of this-are no more idle, the Krupp engineers have completed a 309 mm. quick-firing, soundless gun. They are working on a model halfway between the French...
