divisions of Gen. Sheridan's cavalry,
which were on the march, and were
driven in confusion twenty miles south

the Woodstock Races"
This affair. termed officially the engage
ment at Thoms Brook-the fighting pre-
ceding the pursuit taking place at a
stream of that name three miles south

mounted arm Of the Confederate service
in the Shenandoah Valley.
The Confederates fought rashly, at
tacking superior numbers They broke
to the rear at the end Of the fight with
precipitation that displayed the cumu-
lative effect OF long fighting against
odds, and they lost. in the words Of Gen.
Sheridan, everything on wheels belong

The fury of the chase was unexampled
in cavalry fighting in the war. The fee
ing Confederates rode and fought fought
and rode, with desperation so. long as II
was possible TO make a stand, and when
at last all was lost the survivors Of the
disaster spurred their jaded horses up
the valley pike at breakneck pace with
the Federals yelling at their- heels.
The chase was given up only when
night and exhaustion Of men and beasts

pursuers

Though the spoils and Iaurels for the
day fell to the Federals, the Confeder-

also that the Federals were their supe'

The Confederates were spurred to at

adjoining constituted his apartment, was

were in abundance in the little room and
there was scarcely space for visitor. To
the public Senator Hill was not known
as student. His reputation was based
upon his political activity and by a great
many people he was judged to be only
a clever and somewhat Machiavellian
politician.
His friends. however. had good oppor-
tunity to know that he was not only a
thorough student OF the principles and
philosophy of the science OF juris-
prudence. but also of the political history

English and. having done that, memor-

Philadelphia is to have big peace meeting next
Monday, to which Andrew Carnegie has been invited.
1t might be a good idea to suggest to him that in
view of the discouraging outlook for peace promotion
at present he devote years income of $4,000 from
his Foundation for International Peace to Red Cross
purposes. Money spent in peace propaganda just
now is money wasted. What is going on now in
Belgium, France, and Austria is the greatest argu-
ment for peace that can possibly be p.esented But
100000 spent in relieving the suffering of the victims
would be great service to humanity.

Herman Ridder will have great difficulty in squar-
ing himself with the Kaiser for saying that Italy
had sent word to Italy that, whether conqueror or
conquered, he would never forget its infamous
treachery. Even if Herr Ridder is outside of the
Kaisers military establishment loyalty to the faith

neutrality but sweep broad swath from the Tyrol

milton of Italian neutrality comes just after the
