London. March 9.-Lecturing on The
Lessons of the American-Spanish War" be-
fore the United Service Institution yester-
day Vice Admiral Coiomb (retired) said
Regarding the purely tactical questions
involved, it is plain that Admiral Dewey
took full advantage of the superiority OF
his guns and gunners and placed himself IN
so distant position that neither the Span
ish ships nor the Spanish batteries were
able to adequately reply to his fire.
THE whole thing was terribly business
like on the American side, with pathetic
parade of Quixotlc gallantry on the other.
After dealing with the impossibility Of
secrecy in warfare hereafter. owing to the
vigilance of the press and the necessity
for protecting cables in shallow water, he
added:
IF Spain had shown real comprehension
of strategy l think the United States would
not have been so successful.
The sure way for the United States
would have been to send sufficient force
to the coast of Spain to balance the forces
known to be in Spanish ports and to send
a squadron TO the Cape Verde Islands the
moment it was known Spanish fotilla
was assembling there. And if the island OF
Minorca had been seized as base. nothing
offensive on the other side OF the Atlantic
would have been attempted by Spain.
THE lesson TO be deduced is that Ameri-
can strategy was hazardous in SO far as it
departed from the stereotyped rules of ma
val war. Admiral Cervera's ships were
lost sight of causing anxiety on the Ameri-
can coasts. and the Americans kept con-
siderable squadrons wholly in a defensive
attitude instead of maintaining command
of the sea.
1t is clear that ii there had been coal
supplies at Santiago. and if Admiral Ger
yera'5 squadron had been reasonably eff
cient instead of a miserable abortion, all
it could have proposed to effect by enter
ing Santiago might have been effected
without any Interference by the United
States navy. From the actions of the
Spanish forts the American ships deduced
the idea that their very inefficient batteries
were able to keep the ships at distance.
In conclusion. Admiral Colomb comment
ed upon the fact that all orders to the
American ships were sent from Washing
ton. "a momentous change in naval war

A COMPLIMENT
To The Second Ohio Boys From
Macon, Georgia.

The Cleveland Gazette, the organ of
the colored people of Ohio, in an ar
ticle from Macon, Ca, correspondent,
says:
"We were sorry to see the Ohio boys
leave, as they have proven to be our
friends, and several times have taken
our men from the police when they
were about to be put under arrest for
trifie. In one case a white man called
one of our soldiers vile name, and the
soldier hit him in the mouth. A police
mon placed the soldier under arrest.
A corporal and two men Second Ohio
put in an appearance and demanded the
release of the soldier and the demand
was granted. Had it not been for the
interference of the white soldiers he
would have had a long sentence to
work out in the chain gang.
Not braver or more loyal regiment
of men ever returned home from their
country's calling than the Second Ohio.
They have stood by us. The Second
Ohio will ever be remembered.

AUNT KATY SNODGARSS.
rIr, James SOwles Boarded With
Her In Early Days.

Mr.. James Sowles, of our city was a
driver on the stage line in early days,
from Bellefontaine to Columbus. One
of his stopping places was at Milford
Centre, Union county, where he board
ed with Aunt Katy Snodgrass, and had
his horses shod by Oliver Kennedy who
afterward entered the ministry, and
died in our city few years ago.
Mr.. Sowles relates that two of Aunt
Katy's sons died while he was on the
stage line-one being accidentally shot
by gun going off in his hands, while
riding in wagon, and one dying very
suddenly of sore throat, contracted,
while driving stage.
Aunt Katy, it will be recollected
died about two weeks ago, aged 103
years, 2 months and IL days.
The day that she was 100 was duly
celebrated, and on that occasion she
furnished the following particulars as
to her life:
81 was born near Stanton, Va, JAN
uary 6, 1896. My parents moved to
Kentucky when was four years old,
and lived there eight years. In 1907
they moved to Ohio and settled on a

Union County, near Milford Center
On September 5, 1916, was married tc
Ralph r. Phelps, who had been carry

1881, Mr.. Phelps died and was buried

THE HISTORY
OF the Zeltner Murderers Should Be
Looked Into.

In concluding onr article in Tuesday s
issue, in reference to the Zeltner mur-
ders near Bowling Green, we suggested,
in view of the character of their MUIR
ders, and the vindictive character they
showed while living near Belle Center,
that it might be well to look into their
past record. Since then, the Toledo
Bee says:
"Paul Zeltner, one of the Hoytsville
murderers, says that Westenhaver had
gOaded him and his brother to despera-
ton by threatening to reveal crime
he charged them with having commit
ted in Germany some years ago."
The murderers are seeking to play
the role of stupid innocence asking to
be discharged, so they can go back to
the farm and take care of their stock
and other business, and feigning indif-
ference to the character of the crime
they committed.
The murder was most malicious and
diabOlical, and the men who committed
it, if they are not old criminals, are the
very embodiment of diabolism.

NOMINATE.
Only Nen Whom You Know Will Be
True to Their Trust.

ga debauchid and corrupt Legisla-
ture never produced a Senator capable
of representing an honest and moral
people. San Francisco Call.
The above truthful declaration is the
concluding sentence of an article on the
growing evil of purchasing seats in the
United States Senate. 1t is true that
there would be no seats in the Senate
purchased, if there were no corrupt
Legislatures to sell them. But it is
not only the purchasing of seats in the
q. S. Senate that a corrnpt Legislature
makes possible, but the control of legis-
latures by trusts, monopolies, railroads,
canal rings, ETC., etc. How important
it is therefore to send no man to the
Legislature whose honesty and honor
is not above reproach. Let the rule of
the people be to make no experiments,
but to choose only men they know
to be true, for our Legislature.

OBITUARY..

J. J. Lease was born Feb. s, 1924;
God saw fit in his providence to call him
from this life March 26, 1899, aged IA
years, l month and Is days.
Deceased was the son of Stephen and
Susannah Gates Lease, who came to
this neighborhood, from Pennsylvania,
about 1872. He was one of a family of
II children, of whom have preceded
him to the other shore. He leaves a
wife and children to mourn his loss.
He was loving husband, an affec-
tionate father, and kind and obliging
neighbor, and will be missed by all
who knew him, but mostly by those
who knew him best. He has always
lived in sight of the place where he
was born. AS a son he was most duti-
full, caring for and ministering to the
wants of his aged parents until their
death. He was married to Cynthia Ann
Ellsworth, Oct. I, 1865. God has
blessed this union for 81 years. Nine
children have been born, of whom s

WAR IN SAMOA.

bard the Rebel Towns.

Interesting news comes from far away
Samoa-the islands that lie south of
equator, far beyond Hawaii. The
English, Germans and Americans have
maintained a joint protectorate over
the islands for several years. The
king recently died. Another king was
set up, according to the treaty between
the three powers; but the German
Consul took the part of Mataafa, a
former deposed king and brought him
back to the island, and he and his fol-
lowers drove the new king and his fol-
lowers under the protection of the
English vessels.
Our Government sent Admiral Kautz
with the cruiser Philadelphia, to Samoa,
and on his arrival, he called a council
of the representatives of the three pow
ers. The German Consul refused to
attend. The others decided that Ma
taafa must abdicate, and on his refusal
drove him out of his capital, and bOm-
barded his villages. King Malietoa' IS
friends were brought under the protec-
tion of the British and American ships.
In the fighting that occurred one Amer
ican and several British marines were
killed. At latest advices, March 15,
this was the situation. Dispatches from
Washington state that there is no feal
there of war with Germany, over these
| troubles.

MILLINERY OPENINGS.

You go into one store, and you think
the hats are just too lovely for anything.
You go to the second and you are sure
these are even prettier, and if you keep
your ears open you will hear: "The
prettiest hats in town are here" You
think you have found the most stylish
place in the city, but if you listen in
the next store you hear the very same
remarks made, and you begin to realize
why it is necessary to have such vari-
iety of woman's head gear. But the
millinery is lovely, and Bellefontaine
people need not go out of town this year
for stylish work. Miss Young has the
handsomest goods in years, Miss Craw-
Crawford a beautiful display, the Nc
Cune sqore many novelties and such a
variety of flowers and shapes that ev-
erybody ought to be suited. In the bank
building, Miss Stahl makes a fine dis
play.

METHODIST FOREIGN MISSIONS.

The Woman's Foreign Missionary of
the M. E. church of this city held a
birthday party Wednesday in the Sab
bath School room. There was good
attendance, pleasing program, the
daintiest of refreshments and hand
some collection.
Our reporter especially enjoyed a
paper by Mrs. Campbell, the wife of the
pastor, on ''Pictures in Japan" 1t was
full of information, well written and
pleasingly delivered. She paid beau
tiful tribute to the two missionaries who
lost their lives during the past year,
and to Miss Belle Allen in her aff1iction.
A very interesting part of the pro-
gram was selections read by number
of ladies on the domestic life in Japan.
But to us the most charming of all was
to hear Messrs. Will and Frank Whit
lock in pretty vocal duet and to see
the proud mother preside at the piano
and accompany her two stalwart sons.
The invitations, which had been sent
out were enclosed in small poke
which was to be returned with as many
pennies as they were years old, and on
opening them the ages were found to
run from 10 to 200 years. So the oldest
woman in the State lives in Bellefon-
taine. The entire collection amounted
to $4,000.
Lady fingers, with whipped cream,

the sociableness of the occasion.
