The Human Cost of War

Do these persons who urge war, these
papers that clamor for hostilities, ever stop
to think of the cost of human life involved
in a warfare between nations.
The civil war cost 303, 900 lives. OF this
number 9S,0S9 were slain in battle. The
vast army which succumbed to disease was
no less than 1874 ,331, while the remaining
20, 900 or so died of wounds received.
At the battle of Waterloo 81 900 men were
killed or disabled. There were las, 900 SOL
diers in that great struggle. and 1t is esti.
mated that one man was either killed or
disabled for every 400 shots fired, counting
both the artillery and rifle shots.
In the Crimean war 95 ,615 lives were sacri-
feed. and at Borodino, when the French
and Russians fought $4,000 men were left
dead on the battlefield. There were $780,
900 troops in combat in that engagement.
OF the 95,615 men who perished in the Crl-
mea $4,000 were Turks and Russians
At Canea, however, where the Romans
suffered the worst defeat in their history,
1t is said that $1,000 of their soldiers were
slain. The Roman army in this battle
consisted Of $4,000 men-the picked Drawn
and sinew Of the empire.
In the Franco-Prussian war n 900 French
men were killed. Inc Germans Tired 3d.
900 900 rifle shots to attain this result. Dur
ing the same war the Germans fired S63, ,OO]
artillery charges.
Since the birth of Christ 1900, ,000, 900 men
have been slain in battle. Before the be-
ginning of the Christian era the losses can
not be estimated, owing to the very in
distinct and inaccurate accounts that have
been handed down.
In none of the battles mentioned was
dynamite used. In the wars of the future
this terrible agent Of destruction must be
reckoned on. Men who have studied the
mortality statistics of the past shudder at
the thought Of what may be in store in the
wars that are to come. Only recently has
the use of dynamite in land warfare been
considered safe for the army using It,.
The modern dynamite gun, however. has
seemingly solved the problem, and the men
who go to war hereafter will face an agent
Of destruction beside which the charges
Of Napoleon's old guard were as child's q
play.-Niagara Falls Gazette.

The Wheat Market

SAN FRANCISCO. April 2S-The wheat
market quieted down today because trad
ers got the idea that Americans were ma
nipula ting the British market. The bears
also used heavy receipts of Oregon wheat
at Stockton as a basis of attack. 1t is
claimed that 100 cars of Oregon wheat were
received at that point during yesterday.
May wheat was sold freely by shippers,
the price dropping to $1.S01a against $3.50 on
Tuesday.
Barley was weak, owing partly to i'm
portations of corn.
New wheat will not be available before
July 1st. In order to keep California mills
going, wheat will have to be imported from
Oregon and Washington

Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1898-03-23

F. E. Kearney and G. L. Burton, Of
Cripple Creek, Colo, have been visiting
territorial points for the past two weeks
looking up opportunities for investment,
and are stopping at the Claire today.
They made an examination Of the Lo-
bato grant in Rio Arriba county, with Q
view of purchasing the property, but
were not satisfied with It because the
amount of timber available for manu-
featuring purposes was not considered
sufficient. The Lobato grant consists
OF 100, 600 acres, containing some tim
Der, some agricultural lands and grazing
lands principally. Had the sale been
effected 1t would have been regarded as
one Of the largest deals Of the year.
The gentlemen are now negotiating for
other properties and will visit Albu-
querque, Las Cruces and other places,
investigating timber and mining propo-
sitions on the market. Mr.. Kearney is
o pioneer Of the Cripple Creek district,
and shipped the first a load Of ore
from the now famous bonanza district.
He was instrumental In opening the
Strong mine, one of the largest pro-
ducers in Colorado.

TERRITORIAL BASEBALL LEAGUE.
Santa Fe Should Organize a Club-Base-
ball By No Means An Anticipated
Sport.

Efforts are being made to establish a
territorial baseball league. james W.
Douglas, a Denver sporting enthusiast,
has made the rounds Of territorial points
and created considerable interest. Mr..
Douglas suggests a circuit consisting OF
Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Ell Paso, DEM
ing, Las Vegas, Silver City, and Ration,
operating on the same plan as that
adopted by the Colorado league, which
has a circuit containing Denver, Lead
vile, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Boulder
and Fort Collins. The league bears the
travelling expenses and evens up the
mileage question so that travel between
distant points works no hardship on the
remote clubs expenses. Ration now has
a good club which Is practicing daily,
the Santa Fe Indian school sports a
crack team, Silver City and Albuquerque
are ~agitating the organization of teams,
and other localities will doubtless or
ganize clubs as the season advances.
Colorado clubs would play with the
New Mexicans and this would add zest
to the sport. The Gulf team under the
management of Bert Davis, has already
decided to visit the Albuquerque fair
and meet all corners. Baseball is by no
means an antiquated sport. 1t has
simply made transit from the amateur
to the professional stage. Mr.. Douglas
hopes Santa Fe will organize a new club
independent from the Indian school or
ganization and thinks there is ample
material here, under good management,
to build up the crack team OF the terri
tory.

CITY POLITICS.
Notes and News Pointers Picked Up by the
New Mexican's Representatives.

AT the last city election, a year ago,
1929 votes were cast, the Republicans
being successful. Sam Cartwright for
city treasurer, receiving a majority of
"a, Charles Conklin, for city clerk, re-
ceivlng a majority Of 102, and c. A..
Spiess, for mayor, receiving a majority
Of 70.
In ward No. 4, Roman L. Baca Is
making q very determined effort to get
the Republican nomination for member
of the city council. Many Republicans
in that ward seem to favor Henry Pa
checo for the same nomination.
Republican primaries will be held ON
March 81 and the city convention on
April .. No date has been fixed yet for
the Democratic primaries and city con-
vention.
If taxpayers and property owners
would have a good and efficient city
government, they should attend primar-
les and send proper men as delegates to
the city convention.
Mr.. Sam G. Cartwright has made
such a model officer, that, If renominat-
ed by the Republicans. no matter who
opposes him, he will be reelected by a
larger majority than he received a year
ago.
For members of the council on the
Republican ticket In the Third ward are
mentioned John v. Conway, at present
a member of the council, w. j. Nc
Pherson and Robert II. Bowler.
The talk of running a citizens or in
dependent ticket in opposition to the
regular Republican ticket is getting
stronger among the Democrats and
some citizens, who assert a good deal of
independence in city politics.
