Berlin. July 1.-THE bellicose section Of

by a bulletin issued by the general star
on the authority Of Gen. Blume as 10 the
probable cost OF modern European war.
Germany, it Is affirmed, would be able
TO put 4750.ooo troops in the field A war
fought against another European power
would cost Germany s1.5o0.0oo00o per year
as long as It lasted The indirect loss

II three. four, or more European powers
are involved, which would be likely in
view OF existing alliances. the drain on
the resources OF Europe would be appzlI-

Incidentally. Gen. Blume expresses the
opinion that the loss of life would be
heavier than IN the recent Russo-Jspsnese
war. when % per cent Of the japanese
armies IN the field were killed or wound
ed Reckonins in the same proportion.
European power would lost approximately

ILLINOISAHS HAYE OUTING
Go to Marshall Hall and Have Con-
cert Coming Back.
Baseball Game, One of the Features
of the Excursion, Voted
''the Best Ever"

At the close OF one OF the most pleas
ant outings ever given by the organiza-
ton. go members OF the Illinois State
Association OF Washington sang 'nli-
nois'' 10 the tune OF Baby, Mine" last
night while the river steamer Charles
Manchester made the trip to Washington
from Marshall Hall. where the excur-
sionists had spent the day picnicking.
The song was sung with such enthusi-
asn that other excursionists Joined in
the strain, until nearly every person on
the boat. including those with doubtful
vocal ability, were singing.
Col. George c. Ross. Of the Land once,
who is said &c be the author Of ''Iniaoi1,'
led the singing. and acquitted himself
with honor IN the capacity Of director.
In the opinion Of all sons and daughters
Of Illinois. the tribute in song to the
mother State was a fitting close to an
enjoyable day. Although there was no
preaTTanged programme for the enter
tainment Of the pleasure-seekers. all had
q good time In the afternoon, after the
arrival OF the 2:3o O'Clock boat a number
OF baseball enthusiasts. members Of the
association. had game on the field back
OF the picnic grounds Although there
was no official score or ground rules. it
was agreed among the players that the
sport was more enjoyable than witnessing
game Of professional ball.
The proceeds of the excursion VIII be
devoted to charity. The committee OF ar
rangements was composed of officers and
members OF the association. as follows:

Some kinds Of trees have as many

SPECIAL 70 The Washington He-zld
Winchester, Va. July Is.-One OF the
most brutal murders ever known in this
vicinity took place at Slanesyille, just
over the line IA Hampshire County. last
night. when John ". Chapman, OF this
city. a well-to-do business man. was
shot down from ambush and almost in
stantly killed.

and Mr.. Chapman was taking his leave.
when, Just as he was stepping from
the store porch. two shots rang out IN
quick succession, and Chapman fell On
the steps Of his store with gaping
gunshot wound In his breast.
His son rushed TO his aid. but the
wounded man died in a few minutes
without being able 70 give the name OF
MS assailant. who disappeared IN the
bushes across the road
Mystery in Tragedy.
Considerable mystery surrounds the
tragedy. A little more than a month ago
Mr. Chapman's mill was destroyed by an
incendiary fire. and Il IS believed that the
same party or parties are implicated IN
last nights murder.
II is reported that Chapman was
threatened by relatives of a certain WON
an in the vicinity. This cannot be veri-
fed
Sheriff johnson. Of Hampshire. and sew
eral armed deputies are at work on the
case. but until late to-day no definite
clew has been obtained. Chapman was
sixty-two years Of age. and IS survived by
his wife and one son.
