Extensive Wars

From various sources we have the
information that the present war be-
tween Japan and Russia is costing
them over s1O,o0O,000 each week. AS
our country is so new we have had COM
paratively few wars, and the sums we
have spent seem comparatively small
when we hear of the millions which
older nations have expended in this
way. Take England, for example In
less than 800 years she has spent no
less than $4,000, 000,0 900 in this way.
The war with Germany and Spain in
1702 cost Great Britain $910, 1000, 900.
The war with France which eliminated
at Waterloo represented a total out
lay of s1,275, 100000, which was a small
sum when we consider that they had
to fight the whole of Europe. But it
must be remembered that England sup
piled large sums TO many of the Euro
pean powers in their struggles against
the little emperor. The Franco-Prus-
sian war, the last great European war.
involved an enormous expenditure of
life and money. Germany put 1908 900
men in the field, against a French force
of 10000. OF the French I3S,S70 died

MILO was the real founder of the

WM HO was the real founder of the
w British navy? Since the fleets
of Britain far surpass those of
any other nation, and are the main
support of her vast empire, it is inter-
esting to go back in history to the
founder of the British naval power,
and to note the circumstances of its
beginning.
OF course, the boy or girl who has
read the children's histories of Eng
land will say that this founder was
Alfred the Great, who lived a tri1e
more than thousand years ago. The
Veneration in which that most worthy
monarch is held has led people to as
cribe him the origination of the
British navy, of Oxford university, of
English literature and of much beside.
But the sea power of the great island
began several centuries before the
time of the king who permitted the
cakes to burn. A less worthy man,
doubtless, yet a most remarkable man
1t was, who must be credited with the
inception of Britain's naval career.
Carausius was his name, and he lived
in the time of the Emperor MaXimian-
that is to say, two and a half centuries
after the birth of Christ. Those who
have taken the Christian era as the
point of division between ancient and
modern history must therefore class
these men among the moderns, though
under the commonly received divisions
they belong to the ancients.
The ancient Britons, strange to say,
were not seagoers. Though they had
traded with the Phoenicians before
even Rome was founded, they had made
no use of their opportunity to copy
the Phoenician ships or to learn navi-
cation. The boat of the ancient Briton
was but ''coracle," a large Briton
covered with the skin of an OK or of a
horse. In this the Briton squatted and
fished, drawing himself forward
through the water by means of a board
paddle, which he pulled toward him.

Romans by fierce warfare on the land

unavoidable deception with a crest of

Wah we yay cum ig and his intelli-
gent well posted wife described fully
the OJ1bway verbal history of the Sioux
village at Onamia lake. which was cap
tured by the Dakotas in 1850, only sew
enty years after Hennepins time.
AS the head chief of the Mile Lac
O1lbways he gave information at a
council held at Sagawamick bay which
made the Identification of Hennepin's
temporary house on an island more
certain.
The locality is a beautifully wooded
hill indicating the practice of a long
continued limited agriculture with an
area of less than forty acres. Fish
ways and wild rice beds abound at an
ideal spot for an Indian village. Long
continued interments of the remains of
the dead were celebrated as shown by
numerous burial mounds and Ojibway
graves of later date. Remnants of
many clay vessels were gathered at
that ancient resort and Hennepin saws
in his book that as they left the island
to go to the discovery of ST. Anthony
Falls, they provided him with a poor
canoe and a miserable little clay yes
sci in which to cook his food.

diers with their swords and spears of
bronze. AS for the ocean. she did not
dream of utilizing il for scenes of war
rare or even for routes of transporta-
ton. The legendary tales of very an
Gent conquests of portions of the
mainland of Europe by the Britons are
doubtless mythical.
About half a century after the birth
of Christ the Romans began in earnest
to effect the subjugation of Britain,
which had been the dream of Julius
caesar nearly a century earlier. At
the very height of the Roman power
and splendor the island became a very
important part of the empire For a
time, indeed, it seemed to be the CEN
ter OF power; for in the year 119 the
emperor Hadrian went to reside there
and orders governing his vast domin-
Ions were issued from his insular
home. Strangely enough, it was not
London that thus became, in effect. the
capital of the world but the old CITY
of York, far to the north. In that
quaint old city today there are many
things to remind one of the proud era
when it was the center of command for
the Roman empire. Again, in 2OS, the
Emperor Severus made York an i'm
perial center; for thither he went with
his two sons, Gaeta and Carcalla, and
with vast army for the suppression
of disorder.
Hadrian and Severus both built
walls aross the island in order to de-
fend their borders from the fierce
tribes of the north. Hadrian's wall
was made of earth and timbers, and
extended from the Tyne river to the
Eden. The wall of Severus was con-
structed of sto~e and ran from the
Tyne to the Solway, about sixty
eight miles. 1t was IL feet high and s
feet thick. This was. of course, the.
work of years. But Severus lost 50,-
600 men in his war against the people
of the north, and he-felt that such
rampant was absolutely necessary to
the security of the Roman possessions
When Severus died the imperial power
was divided between his two sons as
a means of preventing civil war. Soon
afterwards the brothers returned TO
Rome. Gaeta was slain by Caracalla,

who while in Britain had once con-
spired against their fathers life. The
fratricide, the would be parricide, the
monster of ambition, now reigned
alone, and the empire began to de-
cline.
About the middle of the century
Carausius was born. He may have
been of British blood, and, indeed, an
cient legend treats of him as a native,
though in fact he was born on the east
side of the North sea, if the historians
are correct. His career is connected
only with Britain, and to all intents
and purposes he was native. He was
"a man of low BIRTH Among the
proud families of the island he had no
part. Contempt and buffetings were
doubtless his portion from childhood.
To the Roman commander, who cared
only for efficiency he might commend
himself for bravery and ability, but
there was little to cause him to love
the land of Britain or its people.
Why is it that the fires of patriotism
are so often found burning most
brightly in the bosoms of those who
have the smallest share in their coun-
try's gifts and honoTs? Why is il that
even slaves, as Cicero remarks, are
often moved to labor and suffer for
the welfare and pride of their land.
Strange as ii may seem, nation often
profits by the efforts of those who owe
IL least.
Carausius learned from Rome the
lesson which Rome learned from Car
thage. The Britons must cultivate the
sea. No longer must they hope for
order at home or dream of ultimate in
dependence unless they should have
highway upon the waters.
The defiles which led through the
dense forests and the fens of Britain
could not be depended upon for prompt
and effective military movements. An
approaching fleet must be seen by
scouts upon the water long before ii
could be discerned from the headlands
of the coast. If its forces were to be
met successfully.
The naval spirit of Britain awoke in
the breast of this poor, ignoble wretch,
born of the scum of society. He is
thought to have been about thirty-six
years of age when, as he believed, an
opportunity came to him. He had
been much with the sailors in his mill
tary service. He had become ac-
quainted with ships and with naval
war. He had made acquaintance
among those who might serve his pur-
pose. He had given evidence of high
ability and bravery. He now went to
Rome to secure a command.
