Won MoLrKE's OPINION OF OUR "Bla WAR ~
The many admirers of Won Moltke in America
will doubtless be gratifed by reading the fol-
lowing account of his appreciation of our late
war. The story is given in Versailles letter !:
"General Won Moltke was appealed to by some
gentleman in society the other evening to set
tie some disputed point in connection with the
history of the American civil war. Il know
nothing about the American civil war;. was
the quiet reply, at which more than one in the
room expressed surprise NO. said the
great strategist, Il have. purposely kept my
self in ignorance upon that subject. because
there was nothing to be learned from il War
is science, and any record of the mere
scrambling of two armed mobs can only pro-
duce confusion in the mind.'"
Old Won Moltke is right Our war was
nothing but riot between two great BUSH
whacking mobs. Men were slaughtered
by the thousands, but without even the
artistic skill displayed by common cattle
butcher on either side.

Heirs Wanted for 800, ,O00.-That

and some of whose descendants must be still
alive, and are perhaps in Virginia yet. They
have fallen heir to an estate in Switzerland Of
at least one hundred thousand dollars. News
papers throughout the country will perhaps
have the satisfaction of bearing glad tidings to
some of their readers by calling attention to
this fact.
