HORRORS OF WAR. /,

/
Most astounding statistics concern
ing the horror, waste and economi
destructiveness of war are promise
in work by the famous German his
torian, Wilhelm Fischer: The Hor
rors of War of All Times and in AL
Lands advance sheets of which hav,
just been received.
The authors facts and figures e
back to the year 1916, B. c. From
that date unit 1.-The modern period
closing with the year 1861, humanity
spent eight hundred thousand billion
dollars 100000, OOO, 900, OO0) in slaugh
tering its own kind, while $3.50 years
out of the 1885 were devoted to wal
and destruction.
During the last 800 years, 286 wars
occurred in Europe alone, and since
the close of the Thirty-Years' War
1913, our European brethren spent
eighty thousand millions of dollars
to set up war heroes ON mountain
high pedestals formed of human bod
les.
Yet the peace propaganda of which
we hear so much of late years is as
old or nearly as old, as the profession
of war. During the period of 1888
years, not less than than 5000 peace
compacts, or treaties, were signed,

The author investigated and figured
out that the average duration of such
eternal peace treaties was less than
two years.
The ancients, we are told, were as
blood thirsty as we are, and in olden
times, as now, every war was an orgy
of curelty and horrors. Bloodcurdling
examples are cited from the Bible,
from the history of the Persians, the
Greeks and Romans. According to
Plutarch, Alexander the Great was a
most human warrior" Here is an
example of his humanity, cited by the
German historian from Plutarch:
In 334 B. c., Alexander captured
the city of Thebes, which had re-
volted, after defeating its armies. The
town was taken by assault, and the
king gave it over to the mercies of
his soldiery. After his hordes tired
of slaughter and pillage, he ordered
that Thebes be effaced from the map
of the arch, and that all males be
in cold blood Only the
priests were exempt, a few a few OF
his personal friends, those that had
turned traitors against their own
'The murdered men left 10000 wom-
en- and girls These the king sold
into slavery"
In ancient times every war resulted
in the enslavement of thousands of
free men and womel. Here are some
figures: The city of Athens contain
ed 21,000 citizens, 10000 foreigners
and 100000 slaves. Corinth had $780,
200 slaves, and Aegina 10000 more
than Corinth.
The history of Rome is record of
successive wars waged for plumber.

sprung into existence, a temple was
erected at Janus, to be closed only
when the Romans were at peace with
all nations. Up to the time of Caesar,
The gate was shut only on two occas-
ons for short time.
Yet the people of the middle age

.HOLD-UP MEN ARE SENTENCED
Irwin TindaIl and Jesse Steele. Accused of High

Amid q great deal of weeping and
imploring on the part of the wives OF
the prisoners, two men accused OF
highway robbery were sentenced to
the penitentiary Monday afternoon In
Judge Ambler's room.
Irwin Tindall and Jesse Steele, who
were arrested last March charged with

Amber and the former was sentenced
to the pen for five years and the lat

and Steele's wife were present and

WHO WILL Do Work.
Council Believes That County Com
nissioners Should Repair the
City Bridges.

The question of whether the city
or the county shall pay for the repair
ing of city bridges was brought up in
the council Monday night in connec-
tion with resolution by Member
Aungst.
Aungst's resolution requested the
servers to investigate the condition OF
the foot walks on the Navarro street
bridge and put them in good condition.
He stated that none of them we're nall
ed and that 1t was exceedingly danger
GUS for persons to walk over them.
New planks were badly needed, he
said, between the rails of the street
car Company.
Member Hall thought the county
commissioners should have the bridge
repaired, and Solicitor Day was of the
opinion that it would be best to first
Notify the commissioners before any
steps were taken by the city to MAKE
the necessary repairs. Member Will
liams moved to amend the resolution
to provide for an inspection by the
commissioners.
Member Brooks then arose to ex-
plain that a former solicitor had held
that the city must make the repairs
where they do not exceed a certain
sum. President Leggett explained that
he, too, remembered of such decision
by former Solicitor Hughes.
Member Saunders thought the ques-
tion was worth being looked into more
thoroughly and moved to lay the res
olution over week to give the solic-
itor time to investigate more fully.

ner, only one man was searched by
the officers and when they were placed
in the city prison they we're allowed
the freedom of the corridors. Later
a man came in and asked for lodging.
1t was given him and when he left in
the morning he proceeded to a near
by saloon and began flashing a large
roll of greenbacks. 1t was known
that he did not have any money the
night before and his actions aroused
suspicion. The inference was that the
man who was not searched turned the
money over to the lodger. 1t was also
discovered that Steele communicated
with outsiders while in the prison
corridors and .enaeavored to get
friends to intimidate the girls who wit
messed the robbery into failing to tes-
tify against them. This was the oc-
currence that led to the resignation
of Chief of Police McCloud, Mayor
Turnbull claiming that he should not
have allowed the men the freedom
of the corridors of the prison.
Tindall is an old hand at the busi-
ness, having served time more tnan
once, but it was Steeles first onense.
For this reason his sentence was not
as heavy as Tindall's.

HOUSE TO REFUSE
Accept the Senate Amendments to
the Railroad Rate Bill.

Washington, May 21.-The railroad
rate bill was considered for three hours
tonight by the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce and
the decision reported to be recon-
mends disagreement to all of the SEN
ate amendments and to send the meas
ure to conference. The committee will
not ask that instructions of any char
aCter be given to the house conferees
There was no disposition to criti-
cize the amendment comforting juris-
diction on the court to review orders
made by the interstate commerce COM
mission, for in the house committee
as well as in the senate, many members
Contended that the bill as it was pass
ed by the house, gave that authority
to courts. This amendment and others
which collectively are known as the
Allison compromise, undoubtedly will
be agreed to by the house conferees.
The amendment which gave the
house committee the greatest concern
tonight was that making pipe lines
common carriers, which the committee
thought inconsistent with the amend
ment prohibiting common carriers
from producing commodities carried
by it.

CELLAR WAY
From the Street Asked and Caused a
Lively Debate in Council-Per-
NIT Finally Granted.

A request by Adam Young, of East
Fifth street for permission to con-
struct cellar way in front of his
place of business precipitated 9 de-
bate in the council Monday night, when
Chairman Saunders of the sidewalk
committee reported in favor of grant
ing the permit.
Owen was on his feet in minute
and wanted to know what right the
council had to give any person per-
mission to use the sidewalk for the
construction of a cellar way Solici-
tor Day explained that the same ques-
tion was brought up in Cleveland.
Solicitor Baker of that city decided
the permit could be granted. He held,
however, that councils did not have
a right to grant permits for the con-
struction of booths or stands on the
sidewalks
In support of his report Saunders ex-
planned that the sidewalk was a wide
one and the cellar way, when open,
would not, therefore. prevent persons
from passing. Still Member owen in
sisted that the city could not grant
the permit. The report was finally
adopted and the permit granted.
Aungst, Hall and Owen voted against
accepting the report.

A NUMBER OF NOTES
All Due and Unpaid Are the Cause for
Suit by Local Merchants.

The Klein & Heffelman Co. has filed
petition in common pleas court
against Alexander Morrison, asking
judgment in the sum of $607 with in
terest at the rate of six per cent from
February /, 1906 The plaintiff says
that on that date the defendant gave
them 36 promissory notes for SIS each
and one for $22, for which he gave
chattel mortgages on his property as
security. 1t was stipulated that if
one of these notes was not paid within
30 days after it falls due, all of them
should become due at once. The de-
fendant, it is alleged, failed to pay the
first note, long since due, and also re-
fuses to settle the others. The plain.
tiff company also asks that the prop
erty be ordered sold and the pro-
ceeds applied to the payment OF their
claim. Attorneys Rice and Souers
filed the petition.
