BRAVERY IN BATTLE.
And the Tsrrors of War, Modern and

And the Tsrrors of War, Modern and
of Other Times.
Much is written of the terrors of
modern war. Little is written of the
terrors Of the wars of old. Yet 1t is
doubtful If war today makes greater
demands on human courage than war
In the time of Grant. of Washington.
Of Turenne. of Caesar. of Alexander.
Consider a standup infantry fight liz
the days of the Revolution. After the
preliminary cannonade and long dis
lance musketry practice the two regi-
ments marched toward each other in
close ranks At given distance, fire.
Quently at thirty yards, there was a
halt, smashing vOlley and then a
bayonet Charge through the smoke.
Bullets those days were large and of
soft lead. and the man who was hit
went down. over him tramped his
comrades or the enemy. shooting and
stabbing
That was the type Of infantry battles
for 40 yenrs. To minimize the cour-
age needed to make good soldier IN
der such circumstances is to fly In the
face of common sense
Modern war requires different type
OF courage from that needed of old
The old touch of elbows is lacking
The old feeling of rompanionShip is
gone. The modern soldier must be
more alert, better taught. keener wit
ted. than the olden soldier of equal
value But 1t does not follow that the
modern soldier is the drawer man

angles" of Chirkamauga and Spottsyl-
vania, at Bunker Hill and Oriskuny.

ONE bill which has been introduced In
the Legislature may affect small portion
Of the community but 1t is of Importance to
many and 1t Is hoped 1t will become law.
1t was introduced by Senator White, of
this county, and Is intended to allow club
cars to run on trolley roads, especially be-
tween Moorestown and Camden. With a
view Of giving people quick service the
Public Service Company put on extra cars
between the places mentioned which made
quick passage. They did not stop at
Merchantville or at the street corners in
Camden and the people in those places
acted the dog In the manger manner and
after securing ordinances by city councilss
which did not seem to have the desired
effect, they applied to the courts and the
latter decided the cars must stop where
ever hailed. This put the public to a
great Inconvenience as the club cars were
used extensively and were highly appre-
clated by travellers. Senator Whites bill
now looks to restoring to the people the
privileges that were taken from them and
the principle he represents is correct. The
running of the club cars did not work
hardship to any one. There were enough
cars running between the special trips to
accommodate those who wanted to ride
and there was no reason whatever why the
many should be lncommoded at the cost
of the few. 1t is to be hoped the bill will
become law and that when it becomes
operative, the express system Of cars will
be extended between Mount Holly and
Camden.

CAMDEN county's Board of Taxation
has granted an appeal of the Eastern
Telegraph and Telephone Company from
assessments In two townships, the total
reduction amounting to $4,000. The re-
auctions are reported to haye been made
because the assessors of the respective
taxing districts never asked for state
ment from the company as to their hold
ings, simply going ahead and assessing
the property. This seems to be strange
procedure. fthe property was worth the
amount 1t should have been so assessed,
regardless of the failure of the assessors
to get statement Such proceeding is
not as easy as some people imagine. The
Burlington County Board of Taxation has
been held up In Its work nearly every year
because of the neglect Of some corpora
ton to send In statement of its holdings
In the desired time and there has not been
year that assessments have been made
In several cases ON the view and limited
knowledge Of the assessor. If the failure
Of an assessor to visit the owner of a
property and get an itemized, intelligent
idea of the latter's holdings were to be the
basis Of fixing valuations there would be
many cases of appeals.

early advent of the ever popular 1.-TWO
