Bloody April.
From the Springfield Republican.

1t is curious fact that the revolutionary
war, the Mexican war and the civil war be-
gan in the month of April, while the same
may be said of the war of 1Sl2-14, if We
may consider as the beginning Of hostilities
the ninety-days embargo placed April f.
1912, upon all vessels in the ports of the
United States. Now that we seem to be on
the brink of war with Spain, we glance al
the calendar and find ourselves in April
again, with three weeks to spare before the
month will be gone. If this isn't coinci-
dence, what Is it?

A German View.
Esro,v, the To oabtotf paryfv,

The end of such war cannot be doubt
full If the American navy does its duty.
Spain can have some success only If she
takes advantage of the unrea 1iness Of the
United States. The Americans know this,
and will try to gain time. The period of
preparation Is always dangerous for a state
with militia organizations and enliste d
crews. If America can get the necessary
tune, she need not fear the result of q war
despite her militia.

In the memories of newspaper men
@Every year your local paper gives
from $500 to $1,000 in free lines for
the benefit of the community in
which it is located. No other agen-
CIV can do or will do this; the editor
in proportion to his means, does
more than any other man; and in
all fairness, man with man, he
ought to be patronized, not because
YOU like MIN or admire his writ
ings, but because local paper Is
the best investment a town can
make. 1t may not be crowded with
thoughts, but financially 1t is tar
more of benefit than both preach
er and teacher. Today editors OF

than any other men on earth. Pat

Was ever another such compli.

ter is understood, Gen. Schoiield's
compliment is justified. 1t is dis
tinctively an International military
tournament of real soldiers from

Germany, Russia, Cuba and the
United States. Over 100 Indian chifs
and warriors from the six great
tribes show the savage soldier;
Mexican Vaqueros. Guaches of Ar

in the armies of their respective
countries. The band of Cuban vet
