The COW belongs to George Murphy,

GREAT BATTLES OF THE WORLD

his statistics have been accepted as
the most accurate extant. War was
business in those days when the only
recognized international code was the
survivor Of the fttest. Gunpowder had
not been invented, boards of strategy
were unknown and the general in the
field was not subject to the orders of a
general behind roller-top desk at
headquarters. The armies, equipped
with spears, lanees, short swords and
battering rams, just met in conven-
lent place and fought until one side or
the other was exterminated. Plutareh
tells us, for instance, that in the bat
tie of Platea, the Persians, under Mar
donius, lost 100000 men killed out of
an army of 100000, while the Greeks,
with their Spartan allies lost but
1860 men. In the battle of Silarus
90 B. C.) over 100000 men were en-
gagged. The Roman army, under Pom
pey, Lucullas and Crassus, numbered
100000 as against 100000 insurgents
under Sparticus, who lost 100000 of
his army slain on the field, and 5000
were after crucifed on the Appian
way. The Roman losses are not given
Plutarch tells us also, of the battle at
Issus, in which Alexander with $4,000
men, faced Darius with force of
$4,000. Darius lost 10000 men, OF
nearly three times as many soldiers as
Alexander had in his army.
Coming down to Caesars time, Plu'
tarch tells us that in ten years fight

whom he killed 100000 and took an
other 100000 prisoners. In the as
sault upon Alesis alone, Caesar is re-
ported to have killed nearly 10000
men. In one fight in Africa, Caesar
faced the combined forces Of Scipio,
Africans, King Jupa and Afranius,
killing $4,000 with loss of but 80
of his own army. Marius and Catulus
fought battle on the plains of Ver-
cellae against the Cimbri, killing 120,-
600 of them and taking 10000 prison
ers Lucullus, with 10000 men under
Tigranes including nearly $4,000 horse
men.
These figures must be positively as
founding to students of modern war
fare and the military experts who
make a study of the problems growing
out of the movements of troops The
question of transportation of force
of 100000 men would madden the
| quartermaster-g general Of the presen,
day, and the thought of burying 260,
, 900 dead and caring for an equal mum
ber of wounded would drive the hos
pital corps to nervous prostration. We
have, however, no data as to whetheI
the soldiers OF the old days paid much
attention to the disposition of the killed
or the care of the injured. We take i
that the parole system was not in mucl
favor, and that the soldiers who could
not take care of himself had to taxi
his own chances with death and star
walton. At any ratb, the Plutarcf
stories furnish food for interesting
study, compared with the development
Of the RussJGp war.

THE OLD AND NEW
WAY
Some Important Facts Which May
Prove Helpful.

Thirty years ago oldfashioned cod
liver oil had to be forced down a pa
tient 3 throat. Invalids couldn't take
it and children wouldn 7. But the doe
tors prescribed it and it had to be TAX
en- by force. Yet it cured people where
enough could be taken into the system,
for it has ever been the greatest of all
tissue builders and general recon
structors known to medicine.
We are now anxious to have every
one know that Vinol is a new form
of this very old and valuable remedy,
cod liver oil. 1t contains in a con.
centrated form all the medicinal ele-
ments of cod liver oil, actually taken
from fresh Gods livers, but by a new
process it is made without oil or grease
and it is as delicious to the taste as a
fresh orange.
Vinol does not upset the stomach like
old fashioned cod liver oil and emul
sions; its strengthening and healing
properties are remarkable and both
doctors and patients are delighted with
its actions.
Many wonderful cures right here in
Salem have been effected by its use,
and we ask all of our customers to try

JAP FORCES ARE RETIRING.
Russians Think the Enemy Wants to
Fight Near liaoyanq.

Mukden, Oct. 8, via Tientsin, Oct.
1O.-A crossing Of the Taitse river east
of Bensihu by Russian cavalry, shows
that the Japanese are retiring on their
position at Iiaoyang and in the nest
OF hills about Yentai, as though they
were still desiring a decisive action
near Liaoyang. The Japanese after
approaching the Hun river appear
merely to hold General Kuroki's late
battle-ground, where cannon firing upon
the Russian cavalry occurred during
the morning and afternoon Of Oct. Z.
1t was quiet there Friday. The Japa-
nese right is understood to be guard
ed by a Japanese force beyond where
outposts of Cossacks are stationed, but
no action between Cossacks and Japa-
nese have been reported for a week.
In order to retake lost ground the Rus
SLAMS have nov a task similar to that
of the Japanese, that is to'make a road
over a hitherto unmapped region, but
the season being dry Is highly favor
able to the task of road-making. The
inactivity Of the Japanese is not UNI
usual. 1t recalls their retirement from
the vicinity of Kaichau, before the bat
tie of Vafangow. 1t also recalls Cen
eral Kuroki's strategy throughout the
firing in Molten pass. The Japanese
northermost front has been located on
a line extending from Bensihu to the
Yentai coal mines and bending north
in the center toward Huapash.

TRAIN BROKE IN THE TUNNEL
ENGINEER DIED IN TRYING TO
RESCUE THE MEN WHO WERE

Port Huron, Mich. Oct. 10.-Six EN-
ployes Of the Grand Trunk railway
were suffocated to death by coal gas
early Sunday in the st. Clair tunnel,
which runs under the st. Clair river
from Port Huron to Sarnia, Ont. A
coal train broke in two while passing
through the tunnel and three Of the
train crew were suffocated while part
Of the train lay stalled in the tunnel.
The engineer lost his life when he re-
turned and endeavored to push the
stalled cars back to safety and two
other rescuers persisted in vain at
tempts to penetrate the gaseous atmos-
phere of the great tube. The dead
are: A. s. Begg, superindent of termi-
nails; Engineer John Coleman, both of
Port Huron; Conductor j. B. Simpson,
Conductor D. T. Tinsley, Brakeman
Thomas McGrath and Brakeman d. A.
Willis, all of Sarnia, Ont. g
The train, which entered from the
American side of the tunnel, was made
up of seventeen. coal cars. When it
broke, Engineer Coleman realized that
the accident had happened and with
the three cars that were still attached
to the engine steamed into the Sarnia
yards, hastily detached his engine and
went back into the tube for the stalled
cars. He attempted to push them
back through the tunnel and out to
the American port. The grade proved
too steep and the attempt was a fail
ure. The engine and cars rolled back
into the gas laden tunnel and Conduc-
tor Coleman was suffocated at his
post. His fireman. Fred Forrest,
stepped into the partly filled water
tank of the engine, where there was
enough air to preserve his life, al
though he is in a serious condition.
