WARS.
Grow Less Sanguinary with Im-
provement in Firearms.

( Grow Less Sanguinary with Im-
provement in Firearms.
At every period in the history
of the improvement in the engine
ny of war there have been armies
of the philosophers and peace adj
vocates to urge that the time has
at last arrived when war has be-
come impossible.
The discovery Of gunpowder, it
was believed, would make such
havoc among soldiers that they
would soon be practically annihil-
ated, and so war would altogether
become an event of the past But
the greatest wars of the world <
history have been fought since
that discovery.
When reech-loading rifles came
into use peace philosophers were
unit in the conclusion that it
was time to beat swords into
plowshares and spears into prun-
ing hooks, but the breech-loader
is an old-fashioned weapon now,
compared with the Manser rifle,
the improved rapid-fire gun used
by the Spanish troops in Cuba.
According to the latest report
from the fighting that went on
around Gardenas, the Spaniards
fired at least 1000 shots for every
insurgent reported killed, and it
is said that at this ratio of Manser
gun shots to mortality will hold
G bod throughout the history fthe
Cuban war.
The Calling and the Maxim
guns that were promised to be
annihilators have been in use for
a period running through several
years, and still the war goes on,
and soldiers live. The fact is,
wars appear to grow less sanguin-
airy in proportion as more energy
is put in the war weapons. They
are carried on at longer range.
