CARL NESTOR HOLMES Mr. Carl Nestor Holmes came to Dummer Academy November 5, 1922 to act as head master during Dr. lng- ham's vacation. Mr. Holmes received the degree of Bachelor of Science from Dartmouth in l9l6. ln the fall of that year, he became an instructor of Mathematics at the Fes- senden School, West Newton, leaving there in the spring of l9l 7 to attend the Officefs Training Camp at Platts- burg. At Plattsburg he was commissioned a lst Lieuten- ant and was assigned to the l lth Machine Gun Battalion, serving in France with the Fourth Division until his dis- charge in l9l9.

QQQQL-QQLLLQQQQQQQLLQ.-L-Q,-,--,,L,l A WORLD COURT It is unbelievable that there could exist an individual in any civilized country who, after living through the years of the late war, should be opposed to any organiza- tion, call it what you may, League of Nations, World Court, or any other name, that would settle inter- national disputes as each settles its national differences, without bloodshed. Yet there is a great diversity of opinion, especially here in our own country, not only among our leading men and women, but among the masses. Suspicion, mistrust and sinister motives are attributed to the organizers of such a movement. lf, however, our national differences are settled satisfactorily in court by judges, just and true, why could not inter-national disputes be settled in a simi- lar manner, granting justice to all nations, great and small. If such an organization could be formed, gov- erned by international law, what untold misery and wretchedness, the results of every war, would be avoided, and what peace and happiness would be enjoyed through- out the world! What wealth could be used in a con- struetive way, and what advancement could be made in civilization! This can never be accomplished only through nations working in concert. The following Words of Abraham Lincoln sound like a plea for a World Court of Nations The man does not live who is more devoted to peace than l am, none who would do more to preserve it. Suppose you go to war you cannot fight always and when, after much loss on both sides and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical old questions as to terms of intercourse are again upon you. We shall only succeed by concert. Let us have peace! ---z ..... ------------------------------ -,--,,-1Llll,,L,i.ii..11
