y ESk Sherman's declaration that
on N war is HE'LL" is again to
SNONZ spell its awful truth out be-
fore the world. The boom
of cannon, the roar of mus
Retry, the clashing of saber and bayo-
net, will be followed by the scenes of
agony and death. The raging, merci-
less monster of war presses on in re-
lentless pursuit of his human Victims
and leaves behind the hundreds and
thousands of wounded, and dying and
dead, and then along this bloody path
| comes the gentle tread of the messen-
gers of mercy, as they seek to undo as
far as possible the awful destruction
wrought, to alleviate the suffering, and
to sweeten the dying moments of the
fatally wounded. AS modern invention
and ingenuity have increased the ter
ribleness of war there has been a cor
responding advance made in the organ
ization, equipment and drill of the hos
pltal and ambulance corps of the
armies of the various countries.
Japan, who has amazed the world in
the last dozen years by her remarkable
development and splendid advance
along commercial, industrial, educa-
donal lines, has at the same time been
perfecting her army and creating a
navy that is her pride and boast, and
the dread of her present foe And per-
haps the most striking feature and eff
fcient branch of Japan's army organ
lzation, splendid as it is, is the hospital
and medical service. Japan is cred
tied with having the model field and
military hospital service of all modern
armies. At Tientsin and Picking in
1900 it is said that it proved its eff
(iciency and practical superiority when
working side by side with the same

It is often remarked that the children

COTTON SHIPPED BEYOND SEA.
European Spinners Taking Much From
Georgia and Alabama.

Columbus, Ga, Seut. 23-Most of
the cotton that has been marketed so
far this season in Columbus from the
neighboring sections of Georgia and
Alabama has been shipped to Euro
pean spinners. Warehouse receipts
have been over 10000 bales, and all of
this but about 1000 bales has been
sold, the greater portion being ex-
ported. The local mills have bought
so far only 1918 bales. A cotton buy
ing firm which has bought 5000 bales
this season, has shipped practically all
OF this cotton to England, and conti-
mental spinners, only 800 bales of the
entire 5000 going to New England A
representative of this firm said he
never saw such remarkable cotton
movement
The consumption of cotton in the
Columbus mills is increasing steadily
each year, as four new cotton mills
have been erected here in four years
time. The local consumption is now
considerably over 10000 bales per an
mum, and this makes Columbus
splendid cotton market.

East Brookfeld, Mass, Sept. 23-A
special train bearing the Archbishop
Of Canterbury from Bar Harbor, Me.

and Albany division of the New York
Central at the station here today
The archbishop was not injured, al
though considerably shaken up ]. P
Morgan, of New York, who was also
on the train, accompanied the arch
bishop, was also shaken up, but not
hurt.
The special was running 60 miles
an hour, was just passing the station
when detachment locomotive which
had been drawing train on the
North BrookfeId branch, ran up the
main line for some reason unexplain
ed. The engine of the special sighted
a danger signal, but on account of the
high speed of the train and slippery
condition of the rails, due to the mist
Of the early morning, he found it
impossible to do more than slightly re-
duce the speed of his locomotive. The
engineer of the branch engine heard
the special, but had not time to move
out of the way
The archbishop's train struck the
North Brookfeld engine with a ter
rife crash, and demolished it. The
other locomotive was thrown from the
rails and across the east bound track
near the wreck of the North Brook
field engine. The cars did not leave
the track.
Immediately it was realized that
the life of the archbishop and Mrs.
Davidson, as we'll as others attending
them, had been tmperilled and first
inquiries were for them. Rev. ]. Ell
lison, the archbishOp's secretary, an
sWered for those in the archbishop's
private car, saying no one was wound
ed. With the archbishop besides Mrs.
Davidson and Mrs. Morgan, were Rev.
Hila Holden, and Rev. J. Ellison and
attendants. 1t was rumored that a
maid was hurt, but her injuries were
not serious. Traffic on the roaad
was blocked for some time
Several of the train employees were
slightly injured.
SO great was the speed of the spe-
cial train that the solitary engine was
carried along 100 yards before it was
dropped on the east bound rails. The
tracks were considerably damaged.
