Perhaps, alter all, tbe strongest argument that can bo urged in favor qf such an alliance would con stitute of itself tho best possible guar* anty for the preservation of the peace of the world. A new development in competitive yellow Journalism is to be noted. Tbe race for priority is so sharp that the yellows are leaping wildly into tbe so« tore for news It is now pretty much all "may"news.

There is no limit to the possibility of "may” news.
