LAURIER’S NOTE OF PEACE

Say* Strife of Anglo-Saxon* Would Amount to Civil War. Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 26.—At an artillery luncheon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister of Canada, said: “Canada has little reason to fear that she will ever be invaded. We have but one neighbor on this continent, the United States. While our frontier has been crowed in the past, my belief and the belief of Canadians generally is that among the great Anglo»Saxon nations civilization has reached a point where the shedding of blood among them would be regarded with a horror equal to that with which a civil war woiild be contemplated.”
