The Money Cost of Modern War.

In the old days when Greek met
Greek, the cost of war was a trifle COM
pared with what it is now when Jap
meets Russ-a triie with what it would
be if two modern European nations
should contend one against the other
trife to what it would be should the
United States by any untoward fate find
itself pitted against a powerful adver-
sary on the field of Mars Even the lit
tie brush with Spain cost the United
States pretty penny. Great Britain,
in her clash with the South African re-
publics, found her finances put to ire
mendous strain and she has not yet fin
ished paying for that little war;
There are three directions in which
modern warfare involves more outlay
than was occasioned by war in days of
old-in the actual cost of conducting
hostilities, in the disorganization of bus
mess, and in meeting entailed re-
sponsiblites after the drums have ceased
to beat and the standards have been
furled and the conditions of peace have
been restored.
Gen. Chaffee, in a recent address at
Albany presented statistics that set forth
in strong light by single instance,
the advance in the implements of war
fare which has been made in the past
half century He said the new field
gun that has been adopted by the United
States and will soon be issued is aston
ishing when compared with the field gun
of 1861. 1t fires a shot weighing fifteen
pounds, with muzzle velocity off, 700
feet per second, at the rate of twenty
shots minute, equal to gun energy of
goo foot tons per minute, as against
about l25 foot tons for the old l2.pound-
err. A battery of six of our new field
guns represents moreexecution than the
$50 Union guns at Gettysburg. The in
creased expensiveness of such arms as
this is in proportion to their increased
execution. The ammunition used up in
single days firing by aJapanese bat
tleshipin the engagements now in prog
ress at Port Arthur represents sum
which would not look small in compar-
ison with what used to be called "a
princes ransom. Evening Wisconsin.

Japan and Russia have deceived the
world. Instead of having fleets OF
about the size of the United States
navy, the Russian fleet alone is larger
than that of all the other powers,
while that of Japan is fully twice the
size of that of England. 1t was sup
posed that Japan had about a dozen
battleships, but it was mistake, Russia
has already sank nearly hundred
japanese battleShips, and is after the
remainder Russia, it was supposed,
had about twenty battleships, but the
jars have sunk not less than three
times that number already. This as
sumes that every dispatch from the far
east is true, including the first dispatch
of the war containing the news that
twelve Japanese warships had been
sunk.-Ashland Press.

historical department.
At the regular meeting of the Fifth,
Sixth, and Seventh grade teachers of
our city schools to be held next Thurs
day afternoon, Mrs. Thrasher, of the
Sixth grade Lincoln will present the
topic of assigning reading lessons
On last Friday Supt. Karl Mathie

Stevens Point State Normal to look
up teachers for the coming school year
While there he found several who
would make desirable additions TO the
city teaching force.
On next Friday evening DR.. I w.
Trevitt, will give an illustrated lecture
on the ST. Louis Fair, at the high school,

The evening classes in manual train
ing that has been conducted by Prin-
cipal w. r. Johnson in the manual
training department of the Lincoln

profitable term of work
The spring vacation viii begin
Wednesday, March Goth, thus including
most of holy week. School will be re-
sumed on the Tuesday after Easter,
thus making Easter Monday holiday.

will be compensated for by closing

On last Wednesday, Supt Karl
Mathie gave the upper classes of the
Lincoln school talk on the oetdoor
sports connected with tentiDIy on the
beaches OF Southern California. He

Eighth grades were today given their
report cards covering the last six weeks
and hereafter such reports, will be sent
out every six weeks, so that the parents

advantage TO the pupil, as he is at times
likely to grow careless if reports are
made only once a semester.
Miss Anna G. Reber, teacher of the
Third grade OF the Washington school,
has rendered her resignation to the
Board of Education, to take effect at
the close of the present winter term.

THE news of the war between Russia
and Japan has been so voluminously
reported, and with so many contradic-
tons, that it is a relief to turn TO the
editorial statement which is presented
in the American Monthly Review of Re-
views for March, which in graphic,
discriminating style, carries the reader
through the mass of reports AID ru-
mors, and lands him safely in the few
but intensely interesting facts. This
record is copiously illustrated, and is
supplemented by two descriptive ar
ticles on the men who are "doing
things, for both Russia and Japan.

Milwaukee SENT

THE Milwaukee Sentinel says
"Grover Cleveland really is an author
ity on fish" There, isn't that what we
always said If it had not been for the
suckers Grover caught he never would
have been elected president. And lots
of them were republican suckers, too,
Then again, if it had not been for the
democratic suckers that Cleveland
helped into the republican net VIM
Mckinley would have been defeated.
At any rate, we have the very best
authority-namely, Grover Cleveland
himself, to prove this, for the day fol-
lowing the 1896 election he addressed a
Notification meeting in New Jersey,

On Friday last Miss Bohrer visited
the Waupaca County Training school
located at New London. Prof. Bow
man and Miss Lucy Norton, both form
erly of West Superior, are in charge.
Thirty-three students were in attend
ance and the registration is not much
above that number Each student pays
twenty-five cents per month for book
rental, and with the help of this and a
large incidental fund, the school is
literally supplied with all necessities.
A very large number of periodicals and
local newspapers are to be found on
tables and bookshelves in all the rooms
Every publisher of a paper in Waupaca
county sends copy gratis to the train
ing school The prospect for male
teachers in that county are no more
hopeful than in Marathon. There
seems to be a great dearth OF young
men in all but the Manitowoc Training
school, and there it has been custom
during many years for men to occupy
positions as teachers The opportuni-
ties for practice teaching are limited.
Not more than eight rooms are avail
able for this work, yet it is regarded by
the teachers as the most valuable
subject in the course.
