MODERN war is
LESS DEADLY THAN
IN TINES PAST
Balkan Struggle Proves
That Long Range Fighting
and Surgery Have Robbed
War of Terrors.

Berlin, Jan. 11.-That the Balkan
VAR has shown that despite the inn
provement III arms, modern war Is less
deadly than battles in times past Is
the opinion of German medical men
This is attributed, first, TO long range
fighting, ana second TO modern surg
cry. 1t is also claimed that the i'm
proved engines Of warfare OF today are
less deadly than those used IN past
conflicts.
In the wars fought BY Frederick the
Great, the casualties averaged % per
cent; in Napoleons campaigns the loss
MAS approximately % per cent, and IN
the wars since then it has rarely ex-
ceeded Is per cent. While il has not
yet been made known what the exaet
losses were in the Balkan war, the
Bulgarian government has announced
that il was considerably less than 70
per cent on the Bulgarian side
One of the chief causes for the re-
duetion in casualties is modern sur
gerry and sanitation in the care Of the
wounded. according 10 Professor DIR.
Hermann Kuttner. Professor Kuttner
has the practical experience Of sew
eral wars and campaigns Where
proper sanitation is absent in war,
disease is far more deadly than rifle
and cannon, us was again illustrated
by the condition and disorganization Of
the Turkish army in the Balkan
struggle.
Modern surgery" said Professor
Kuttner, i'll an article in a German
publication. has robbed war of much
of its terror. The wounds of the mod
ern small caliber bullets are less dan
gerous than the chunks of lead used in
past wars. While in general practice
the scope Of operative surgery is con-
stantly being extended, war surgery on
the battlefields and in field hospitals
is becoming more and more eonserNa-
tive in every war, so far as operations
are concerned.
''Where formerly the chief concern
of army surgeons was to remove bull
lets, bullet in the body is given little
attention now. Operations are now only
resorted to when absolutely necessary
to save life. Amputatlons are decreas-
ing still more. Experience has taught
field surgeons that wounds need, above
everything else, rest-that nature may
have an opportunity. Certainty of OPP
erative results depends so much upon
favorable conditions and surroundings
which seldom obtain in a field hospital
Despite the wonderful development
of artillery, the wounds from this arm
have not increased to any great eS
tent. Infantry fire still is the great
factor, and makes work for the field
surgeons

The thing which makes this little
country SO important 70 Italy Is its
proximity and its possibility III the
hands of hostile power, of being made
the base both for military and naval
movements against Italy. The Albanian
city Of NaIlona is only % miles across
the Adriatie from Brindisi-in fact the

London. Jan 11-Al England is
shudderng with horror over the facts
brought out by the special committee
of the house Of commons appointed sa
investigate the stories of atrocities III
the Putumayo rubber district OF Peru
the British Congo"
Not only has ample evidence been
produced corroborating the charges
originally made by the American en-
gineer, w L. Hardenburg, but testi-
mony from various sources shows TIL It
the Peruvian government alleged eff
forts, following the Hardenburg eX
pose, to correct the evils, We're a mere
sham. In addition TO making a thor
ough inquiry into actual conditions,
the committee was instructed to report
to what extent the British directorate
of the Peruvian Amazon company, OPP
Grating the concession, is responsible.
The records of the committee consti-
tute one Of the most terrible indict-
ments in the history of modern civili-
cation, overshadowing. as they do. the
heinous offenses charged against the
Belgian exploitation Of the Congo. 1t
has been proven that:
Indians of the district have been
forced to work day and night at the
extraction of rubber without the
slightest remuneration except suffi-
eient food to keep them alive They
have been flogged until their bones
were laid bare. They have been ma
tilated, ears, fingers, arms and even
legs cut off. They have been tortured
by means of fire and water, and, in
some instances crueified head down
wards. They have been sold into sla5-
cry at prices ranging from 500 70 $500
each They have been robbed of their
wives and daughters by employees of
the company. Their older folk have
been ruthlessly murdered when nc
longer able to work. and children have
been swung by the feet and their
brains dashed cut against trees.
Considered to Have No Rights.
Many of the instances of inhumaf1itS
detailed by Hardenburg We're attested
by Sir Roger Easement, who was sent
by the foreign office to make personal
investigation. when he told his story
ON the stand. The Indians. he SAID,
were generally considered not to have
human rights. much less civil rights.
1t was a maxim that to kill an Indian
was not murder at all. Describing the

PLANS FOR INCREASING
NUMBER OF MARRIAGES

Paris. Jan. Hilarious suggestions
for facilitating and increasing the
number of marriages in France have
been reported by the subcommittee on
law and administration Of the general
commission that was appointed to con-
slider the depopulation of France.
In addition to several bills calling
for greater police surveillance to
prevent violations of the health laws.
the committee recommends the pass
age of a measure proposed by NJ
Lepine, the project of police, calling
for the distribution of premiums to
those state employees who have several
children. The measure also stipulates
that no increase of remuneration shall
be voted to such employees in the flu
ture without giving a special treat
ment to employees with large families.

AN OLD FOLLOWER GONE.
ASKED TO HAVE THE JEFFER-
SONIAN READ TO HIM ON
HIS DEATH-BED.

Dear Mr.. Watson: After many
years Of affliction my dear husband
passed over the river of death on the
morning Of January 31st, 1913. He
left us so quietly, just as if going off
into a sweet sleep, ASLEEP in Jesus,
blessed sleep" He often said he had
no fear of death, and said to me a
few days before his death that he
soon would have home with Jesus.
He was nearing his 74th year, | am
nearly two years younger. | am the
mother Of twelve children, two pre-
ceded their father to Heaven, leaving
six daughters and four sons, one
daughter and family live with me.

my dear Children. Those that live
near visit me and say m.ny consoling
words. Those at a distance write
comforting letters. But [ am so
lonely. He loved you, your work
and writings, had read after you for
twenty years, and on the night before
he died, a daughter was looking over
that weeks Jeffersonian, and some
one asked if he wanted daughter to
read aloud, he said he did He paid
strict attention, being perfectly con-
sclOus, commented on the horrors of
Catholicism. [ pray that you may

Of right of which you are an advo-
cate. Very respectfully,

Dear Sir: | have just read in En-
glish those questions asked By the
priests in the confessional. [ had sup
posed they were bad, but was not
prepared to believe such develish
filth possible. [ had never heard
from the most obscene anything to
compare with this nasty mess. [ am
for religious federation, but this is
as far from religion as hell itself.
Do we tolerate murder? No. Do we
tolerate the nameless crime? Not
at all. But Romanism is everything
of all kinds of crime. 1t is the ut
most denominations of earth and hell
to date. The most honorable men
l have ever known would shoot any
one who should insult his fair sex
with such obscenity. In fact, [ have
no respect for anyone who wouldn't
do it. But they say it is in the name
Of religion. In the name of the
devil, they ought to say. We should
not put up with Romanism any more
than any other intolerable crime.
But you say the individual has a
right to his belief. Certainly, and
he may be an assassin, but we don't
legalize his trade Our people
should wake up and make the ask

priests a capital offense

OF an old negro that L heard preach
thirty years ago, on the old planta-

about midway of his sermon, he
noticed that one Of the brethren was
taking good old fashion snoOze.
He stopped at once, and demanded
that Deacon Jones step over and
wake the sleeping brother. Brother
Jones did as he was commanded, but
failed however to wake the sleeping
brother. Seeing this the preacher
said, "Let him alone, bre'r decon-

churches are slowly being aroused,
and in the course of time, I believe
that Protestant America will be thor
oughly organized. But those who
are silent-the ones that WELD the

when these come to the rescue, the
balance will be easy, so AL that we
can do, is to keep fighting and hope

THERE WERE FOUR OR FIVE
ROMAN CATHOLICS ON

DICTED MIR. WATSON

Dear Tom: If it had not have
been for what Bro Scarboro had to
say about your trial it would never
have crossed my mnd there was the
least reason to have a thought of
there being a Roman Catholic on the
jury, but he inferred that it might
be the case, and then l reasoned.
Yes, they are mean enough to do
anything. There is just as much rea-
son in putting man on a jury to try
a prisoner who he accused of steal
ing his hogs. It's the very same, yet
they packed the grand jury with Ro
man Catholics that found the bill,
and will do the same with the jury
that tries you if they can, but before

When the priest know as much
about the women of his parish as
their husbands-how the layman
can have any respect for their own
women is what l don't understand.
To be a Catholic, it seems to me,
one would have to be a fool from
birth, Or utterly ignorant from lack
of having any sense. 1t is, if posi-
BILE, worse than blasphemy to call
Catholicism any part of a church.
We need a few preachers who are
not afraid to talk fire and birthstone

Our Legislatures must be made to
enact laws against this Romish
beast business. The so-called Ro-
mish church, with it's confessional,
