WILSON'S Of universal peace may

short time previous to the assembling
of the peace conference at The Hague,
but If they did the vision lasted but
short time.
To-day the eyes of Europe are watch
ing the struggle for the construction
of a great navy on the part Of Ger
many. Every nation of the old world
IS interested in the question: How
will Germany pay for the ships which
she proposes to build?'
The same question is Of vital interest
TO the people Of Germany. The expen-
diture Of LOO 100000 marks Is not a
question to he decided lightly by any
nation. The average German citizen
has sufficient pride in his land to wish

ent naval bill provides for. But he

that they could hear very high notes.

respect over the members of the eX-

very difficult to get information, as

their mouths. One fact, however. was
noticed, which was interesting when
it was remembered that sweet and bit

WHEN HIT BY BULLETS.
Soldiers Have Widely Different Ways
Of Acting When They Re-
ceive an Injury.

If YOU take dozen soldiers as like
each other as peas so far as height,
weight, strength, age, courage and
general appearance, and wound them all
in precisely the same way, you will find
that scarcely any of them are affected
alike.
One man on receiving the bullet in
his leg will go on fighting as If nothing
had happened. He does not know, in
fact, that he now contains bullet.
But perhaps in two or three minutes
he will grow faint and fall. Another
man, without feeling the slightest pain,
viii tremble all over, totter and fall
at once, even though the wound is real
~ very slight. A third will cry out
in a way to brighten his comrades and
will forget everything in his agony. A
fourth viii grow stupid and look like
an idiot.
Some soldiers wounded in the slight
est manner win have to be carried of
the field. Others, although perhaps fa-
tally injured, can easily walk to the
ambulance. Many die quickly from
the shock TO the nervous system.
very curious case is recorded in
the surgical history of our civil war,
in which three officers were hit just
at the same time. One had his leg
from his knee down carried away, but
he rode ten miles to the hospital. An
other lost his little finger and he be-
came raying lunatic. While third
was shot through the body and, though
he did not shed drop Of blood cxter-
nally, dropped dead from the shock
