Buyers Did Not Attend-The great
horse sale set for last Friday and sat
urday at Wallowa. proved a complete
failure because the buyers who had
been expected did not attend. A. B.
Hall said he had promises from many
buyers that they would be on hand
but not one OF them appeared The
explanation he got was that the for
eign agents which have been taking
horses for use in European armies
had not inspected and received the
stock previously gathered at the con-
centration points. SO the agents could
not buy more until they had closed
out their previous purchases.

One Of the most remarkable facts
OF the war is that the German fleet
though not one half
''Underhanded" as strong as the
Sea Fighting. English home fleet
has so far remained
free from attack by the British naval
force.
The situation is not due to the fact
John Bull has been indifferent in the
matter. There is nothing England
would like TO do more than destroy
the German navy. II must be mad
dening TO the English naval directors
TO have a superior navy and yet be
unable TO meet and crush the foe.
The chief reason an engagement
has not been sought with the big Ger
man fleet is because the German ships
in the Baltic are protected by a sea
Of mines In order to reach the
enemy the English fighting craft
would have TO risk destruction and
IL would be poor strategy to take such
chances.
The situation is interesting because
!. shows that dreadnaughts are not
the only factors in naval warfare.
Here is Germany with but half as
many battleships as England check
mating her foe as far as any big en-
gament is concerned.
il is said that from the standpoint
OF defending our coasts mines would
be more effective than shore bat
teries. Whether we are prepared in
this respect is another matter. All
the clamor In this country has beer

trusts could make some money
There has been little demand for de-
lenses that cost little yet might prove
more useful than dreadnaughts.
In one respect this country is out
distanced by nearly all the big powers.

Set in our door and cry, Behold how

heavens to mortal eye!
This Is thine all. o world;
slOth, superstition, fear, dishonesty
Dishonest with ourselves-afraid to

The whole broad banner of free souls
unfurled;
Dragging the body OF dead past thrS

The little square Of glass our grand

KITCHENER, THE REMoRsELEss
(From pillars OF Society," by A.
Gardiner; Dodd, Mead.)

(From pillars OF Society," by A. c
Gardiner: Dodd. Mead.)
Kitchener's merit is for organiza-
ton rather than for battle. He is not
great warrior, but. like Carnot OF
Moltke, is a great organizer OF vic
tory.
Some men say that he is cruel. But
he is only cruel in the sense that he
is engaged in a cruel game which
has no place for the humanities. You
cannot afford to have a kind heart
when you go out to kill men. He be-
lieves in Lord Fishers Three RS of
War'-ruthless, relentless, remorse-
less. Roberts failure after Paarden-
berg was due TO his horror at the
sacrifice Of life and his determination
to wait for surrender rather than
shed more blood.
kitchener's message TO poor Han
nay at Paardenberg had the same
quality Of ruthlessness that Stonewall
Jackson displayed when one Of his
officers pointed out that a certain
instruction meant the total annihila-
ton of his men, and he replied, Col
onel. I always make II a rule to at
tend to my wounded and bury my
dead. You have heard the instruc-
ton. Co. With Grant at the Bloody
Angle he would have lit another
cigar and poured more men into that
pit OF carnage. II he could not have
beaten Lee by generalship he would
have beaten him as Grant beat him.
by sheer destruction Of life.
He is not cruel. but ne is without
compassion. He keeps his eye on the
end and steels his heart against the
tugs OF pity. To him soldering is not
a profession; it is a religion. Soli-
tary, without home ties. living his
life in strange lands, he wears him
self the hair shirt not Of the mystic
but OF the mastinet
