lion, when encased in armor, growscold and unsympathetic; brotherlyaffection, the basic principle under-lying all truly peaceful conditions,becomes estranged; and with the de-velopment of a giant strength andthe consequent over-mastering de-sire to use it as such, the strongernations are impelled into tyrannizingover the weaker.

But this policy has an even widerrange as a menace to real and last-ing: peace. There are nations, forexample China, just now enteringthe march of civilization. Over;them the more enlightened nationswield a powerful influence. Not jwishing to be a whit behind, theyare being gradually drawn into thissame dangerous and hurtful policy,meeting its demands regardless ofhow great the cost may be. Therights of some, particularly China,have been seriously infringed upon;and after having developed a pow-erful military strength, it is butreasonable to believe that they some"time will find that it is sweet toseek revenge.

Thus it would seem that the pres-ent peace policy is a menace to real jand lasting peace rather than a safe-guard.

interesting parallelism between thisconference and the Continental Con-gress.

He concluded by saying that thepeace movement is not composed ofa cult of cranks, but of the fore-most men of all nations; that in thisgreat work the Ui>ited States isdestined to lead; and that, if theproper effort is put forth, the poet'sdream of an universal peace will beeventually realized.

DR. TYLER HONOREDIt was recently learned that Dr.

Lyon G. Tyler has been selected aseditor of the Encyclopedia of Vir-ginia Biography, which is to be pub-lished by the Lewis Historical Pub-lishing Company, of New York.

FALLACIOUS PEACE POLIGY

In his able and scholarly addresson the peace movement last Mon-day evening, Dr. Hamilton Holtquoted Ex-president Roosevelt ashaving said while president: "Iwant a senate that will ratify arbi-tration treaties, and a house which,at the same time, will vote a largenumber of battleships." In otherwords the ex-president was a peaceman, but believed the way to se-cure it was to be prepared to en-force it. And this seems to be theplan upon which all the great na-tions have fallen in their efforts tosecure world peace. In the capac-ity of officials, gentlemen cry Peace,Peace, and yet lend the greatestpossible assistance in equipping andmaintaining armies and constructingdreadnaughts. Peace maintainedby force and at any price —this isthe policy to which they seem irre-vocably committed.

The fallacy of such a policy isquite apparent. In their enthusi-asm the advocates of this plan for-get that it has always been man'snature, however much he may pos-sess self control, impatiently to de-sire the application of the productof his creative genius, and espec-ially so if it is the result of pro-longed and expensive labor. Just sowith nations. They can not any morethan individuals go on forever pro-viding the implements of war with-out sooner or later becoming desir-ous of using them. As all exper-ience has shown, the heart of a na-

county, Va., has accepted an invi-tation from the Southwest Club to \address the faculty and students at isome date in the near future. Thesubject of his address has not been |learned yet, but will be announced Jlater.

It is, of course, generally knownthat Mr. Stuart is an avowed can-didate for gubernatorial honors atthe next election. He has been forsometime prominent in the officiallifn of the state, and has held a num-ber of positions of trust.

Let there be a large numberhear the next governor.

DR. HOLT MAKES FINE ADDRESSBefore an appreciative audience

that filled the College chapel, Dr.Hamilton Holt, of the New YorkIndependent, delivered last Mondayevening a very able and forcefuladdress on the International Peacemovement. The speakerdealt large-ly with the history of the movement,and showed that it is being attend-ed by a steady growth.

In introducing his subject, Dr.Holt contrasted the old, worn-outsentimentalism which made war abenefactor, with the modern ra-tional view which makes it savageand barbarous. He then proceededto show that we are probably nowwitnessing the end of the era ofwar and the beginning of the era oflaw.

After pointing out that the HagueConference was the first attempt tobind the world into one great politi-cal union, the speaker drew a very
