Those who think the Hon.
John L. McLaurin is not taking
an interest in public affairs
should read carefully his open
letter. Mr.. McLaurin is entirely
out of politics, but his views are
sought just the same, and when
ever he gives an expression
there is always something to
think about.

"When the Persian King, Xerxes.
made war against the Greeks, his forces
were numbered by the millions. The
oriental armies overthrown by Alexan,
der were in several instances equally
as great. And the hordes who fought
with Attila, Ghenghis Khan and Tam
erlane far outnumbered the total OF the
forces now engaged on both sides IN
Manchurla.
In point of numbers engaged, how,
ever, the battle does appear to be the
greatest fought in modern times, al
lowing that there are 400, 900 troops al
Lao Yang. At Gettysburg the Fed
erals had $4,000 troops and the Confed-
crates 1900. Other great battles com.
pare, in point of numbers engaged, as
follows: Austerlitz, Allies. $4,000,
French. 10000; Smolensk, French.

The whole world is watching
with keen interest every move
that is being made at the war
theatre. The great battle at
Lao Yang is claimed by many
to be the greatest in history, but
according to the historian of the
Atlanta Journal, there have
been other battles fought which
equal, if the do not excel the
recent one between the Russians
and the Japaneze. AS a matter
of historical interest we repro
duce what the Journal says
about the great and momentous
battles recorded in history. 1t
