Despite the fog Sunday morning, the
London newsboys found a ready sale
for newspaper extras announcing the
news of continued victories in south
Africa. The losses in killed and
wounded were subject of pulpit refer

the disasters that befell the Irish Flu
sileers.
The vicinity of the war Office was

The German minister of war re-
Gently stated that The military authori-
ties we're following the Development
OF the automobile industry with the
greatest attention and would do every
thing to further and make use of it.
The appropriation ')r this purpose
in the Military Budget was voted for
unanimously. The general introduc-
ton Of automobiles would increase
the mobility Of an army fourfold
especially in cases where the roads
are such as to permit Of rapid move
ment. Automobiles can be made use
of as regimental baggage wagons and
as ambuialcss FOR army postal service.
IN modern warfare the more the army
can get rid of living creatures, man or
beast, whica are not com )atants, and
replace then by mechanical s1bsti-
tutes, tue more confidently will q
general take tie field.

The Washington Star proposes q
new weapon against mobs. The Star
would like to have the camera used to
photograph the leaders OF these
tumultuous tribunals of the streets,
which set aside every law book and
nullify the highest courts. There is a
great deal Of good sense in the
proposition to aim the rapid firing
camera at the mob. SO far as this has
been done the pictures have shown
that the mobs are largely composed of
boys, the street hoodIums, who are
glad of any opportunity for disorderly
and destructive manifestations. The
encouragement Of youths in such
riotous outbreaks has serious effect
when it is considered that the boys
are to be the men.
