LOST OF WAR.

While the cost of war should not
forbid us to resort to that eXpedient
in order to maintain the cause of JUS
tice and humanity still the matter
calls for some attention just at this
time. Since our first struggle with
Great Britain in 1776, we have eX-
pended in warfare the round sum of
$4,000, 600, 90. The revolutionary war
cost us $135, ,7O3 and 10000 lives;
the war of 1912, $1O7, 10000 and 1000
lives; the Indian wars and other mi
nor wars, s1,000,000,000 and 10000
lives, and the war between the states
sS,500,000 900 and $4,000 lives. In
this last struggle is included the loss
entailed upon both sides. Seven of
the principal wars which Great Brit
ain has waged in modern times cost
as follows: The revolution of 1888,
1S0,000,000; the Spanish succession,
1910, 100000; the seven years war,
$3.50, 100000; the Spanish war, $780,
100000; the American revolution,
100000; the Napoleonic wars,
SIS, ,O15,000,0 900, and the Crimean war
$3.50, 900, 100000. War at the present
time is calculated to be more destruc-
tive than ever, but still the demand
Of justice and humanity must be met.

NAVAL NOMENCLATURE.

An expert has called attention to the
popular mistakes in naval nomencla'
ture. As our navy is now the object
of worldwide admiration and the sub,
ject of discussion in all manner of COM
pany, it is we'll to be set right on GER
tain technical terms descriptive of its
militant operations.
When we speak of fleet the expert
understands US to mean company OF
twelve or more battleships. A mos
quito feet is composed of twelve or
more small boats. A squadron is COM
posed of fewer than twelve battleships,
and is often part of fleet such as the
van, center or rear squadron. A fotil-
la is composed of twelve or more men
of-war, some of which may be battle
ships.
According to these definitions the
United States has no feet; neither has
Spain. Admiral Dewey commands q
squad ron. The ships destr Dyed and
captured from Montejo in Manila Bay
composed a squadron. Admiral Samp-
son commands a hotilla. Admiral Ca
mara commands squadron.
Not until we expend a great deal
more money for battleships than is
now being put into that character Of
craft can we properly claim to have a
fleet under the most formidable con-
centration we could make of our navy.
III few years, however, we will have
enough battleships of the first class to
compose a fleet.-St. Louis Republic.

BIG AND LITTLE GUNS.

There is a school of artilerymen and
ordnance experts who have been con-
tending for a long time that the ef-
fective fighting ships of the future
will not be those which have the heav-
lest guns, but those which are able to
fire with greatest frequency shells and
solid shot from guns of comparatively
small calibre which are easily hand
led and can be fired with great rapid
ity. 1t has been urged by this school
that the constant and incessant
pounding of great number of small
guns of reasonable range which can
be handled with facility and directed
quickly upon any desired point will
bring the answer every time against
the more ponderous weapons which
throw projectiles of great weight at
infrequent intervals, and with dan
gerous shock to the ship on which
they are mounted.
The correctness of the theories of
this school seem to have been affirmed
by the battle off Santiago on July 3.
The investigation of the disabled ves-
sells of the Spanish fleet shows that
not one of them was injured by the
shells of the large 10 and 13 inch guns,
which are supposed to make the bat
tleships so formidable. The largest
size of gun that did any execution was
the eight-inch, but the damage done
by them was small compared to that
wrought by the little six-pounders
and one Founders which threw hail
of steel on the decks of the enemy,
carried away all the upper work,
drove the gunners from their guns and
scattered fire and death wherever they
struck,
1t is entirely probable that one of
the lessons of this war will be to lead
to the abandonment of the big guns
on shipboard. A few years ago guns
of 100 tons and 16 inch calibre were
thought to be the proper thing; but
without actual trial in war their in
utility was demonstrated Now it is
probable lat even the 10 and 13 inch
size will be discarded as cumbrous
and unreliable for sea fights.-Pitts-
burg Times.

In the midst OF our rejoicing on ac-
count Of victories by sea and land over
the enemy we have been compelled TO
fight, one may not be considered un-
patriotic if he casts plying glance
at the once proud nation whose very
existence seems trembling in the bal
ance now. Once among the most pow
erful nations of the world, Spain is
now tottering. Possessions are being
wrested from her grasp, her territory
reduced almost to the peninsula alone,
her treasury is empty. her navy de.
stroyed, her people are starving and
ripening for revolt. The nation which
| by right of discovery, had its grasp
upon the whole western hemisphere,
which might haye been the most pow
erful and wealthiest nation in the
world, with all the vast possessions of
the two Americas is just about to lose
the little territory it has so far man
aged to retain in the new world, about
to lose all its possessions in the Pacific
and is shaken with popular discomfort
at home to such an extent that no one
knows where it may end. All the
glory and the grandeur of the old
Spain has been wiped out. No longer
does her flag wave over every quarter
of the globe The earth has ceased to
ring with the tread of her victorious
armies. Her splendid navy does not
sweep the sea, nor is she recognized as
anything but broken down nation,
with exhausted energies aud feeble
powers. She is swept from the seas in
the east and west. She is begging for
life from her people at home. Her
doom is sealed and her former glory
will be seen no more. Burdened with
debt and woefully misgoverned, her
own people are desperate. With none
of her rich possessions left from which
to exact tribute for the national ex-
penditures, the burden will fall all the
more heavily upon the people of
Spain. Already prepared for revolu-
tion, the loss of the colonies and the
increase of taxation at home may
prove the climax and the government
of Spain may fall. The glorious old
Spain of the past is doomed and its
condition is most pitiable.

A NEW EPOCH IN OUR HIST DRY.

The sailing of the Eastern squadron,
with the colors of Commodore Watson
at the peak of the Indiana, marks
new epoch in the history of American
naval achievement. 1t is the first
American expedition against Euro
pean power. We hurried British COM
merce and punished Algerines, but
these were affairs of frigates and not
American battleships, the greatest
fighting machines In the world. 1t
will be the first attack upon the coast
of Spain sis.ee Gibraltar fell, and re-
calls the dazzling traditions of Sir
Francis Drake centuries ago. We are
about to finish the task begun by this
old sea rover-completing the work of
Anglo-Saxondom.
The roar of American cannon will
now be heard near the Pillars Of Her
cules, and the American nation shows
her determination to carry on opera
tions in her own way. 1t means that
there is mighty force in the West
which the oligarchies of the world
must reckon with in making up the
map of the world, and for which Euro
pean concerts have no authority to
speak and diplomatic warnings haye
no terrors.
This nation is going Into the Eastern
world by nobody's leave and proposes
to do as she pleases in Furnishing her
enemies. The powers of continental
Europe, in isolating England, have
made possible combination before
which the armies and navies of the
world are powerless. Anglo-Saxondom
is irresistible and the insignia of its
power is best typifed by the ensign on
the military mast of the Indiana.
There are great possibilities in the
spectacle of Comm modore Watson turn

ward the land of Ferdinand and 1sa-

MUsKINGUM RIVER TRAFFIC.

The United States government Office
reports traffic on the Muskingum river
for the month of June as follows:
Imports, general merchandise, 6,046
tons, lumber, etc, GAS tons; exports
general merchandise, 1868 tons, lum-
ber, etc, 2S5 tons. There were 1896
passengers brought to and 1886 car
ried from the city during the month.
Of course large per cent of the pass
enger traffic represented round trip
excursion business. The report would
indicate, however, that over IA 900
passengers were carried by the steam
boats during the month.
