HORRORS OF WAR.

We read much of the horrors of war,
but how many understand what the ex-
preston really means? For instance,
in the battle of Mukden there were
slain and wounded ON both sides 200, 900
men, and yet these figures are mean
ingless to most of the people. How
ever, it will mean more to you, if you
remember that the number killed at
that battle represents according to the
tigues given out by Golfers Weekly,
three hundred Iriquois theater disas-
tiers, one hundred and fifty Slocum dis
asters, eighty Johnstown floods, or
thirty Galveston floods. 1t represents
the total population of city like Min
neapolis, or the population of the
states of Idaho and Nevada combined
With that aid to the Imagination in
mind, one is able to grasp what is
meant by the horrible carnage OF war
it's frigntful destruction.

One can not help but be disgusted
often about the unseemly rush there is
to select successor to some man who
has died while holding office. Often
the man is hardly cold before the cues

have the office. 1t would seem that
mere respect for the dead would call
for little more courtesy than that.
