Sea Wall Battered Down.

Lashed by the gale, the ocean bat
tered down the sea wall at Sea Bright,
N. j., during the night and placed the
town in imminent peril of destruction
on the next high tide. It's streets are
flooded, communication by rail was cut
off, breakers were rolling over the
chief thoroughfares and undermining
the foundations of the principal build
ings, and the damage will be at least
100000. The roads at Normandia
were washed away, preventing ample
fire apparatus reaching a $25,00O blaze
in the Normandie hotel. The summer
home of Secretary of War Garrison
and other handsome residences at the
same place are surrounded by water.

MODERN WAR IS MERClFUL
Under Existing Conditions the Wound
ed Are Given Fair Chance
to Recover to Health.

A general impression is that with
powerful weapons of great precision
greater loss of life and greater pain
are caused. That view is almost GER
tainly inaccurate. The modern bull
let, says the Scotsman, unless it is of
the soft-nosed type, is on the whole
merciful, and either kills outright or
gives its victim fair chance of re-
covery. 1t does not, as a rule, mutt
late.
The ambulance corps was practical
ly unknown 60 years ago, and not
only is aid brought more rapidly to
the wounded, but it is far more eff
fective than in the pre-Lister days.
Rapidly of conveyance has increased
beyond all comparison. In the pres.
ent war it is true to say that in many
cases men have been lying in Brit
ish hospital within "a hours of
receiving their wounds. If the
risk of being hit is greater, the
chances of recovery from injury have
been immensely increased.

No Excuse.

Representative Bacon Of Georgia
was condemning in a Macon club the
German general staff for its anti
quated close formation in attack, a
formation which costs the German
army thousands Of lives.
CLOSE formation" he said, was
excellent in Napoleon's day, but with
our modern machine guns, shooting
myriads of bullets a minute, it is a
useless, it is a cruel waste of life

Canned Salad for Winter Use.

beets. Leave small pearl onions
whole. Cut celery in strips. Cook
carrots, onions and celery in sailed
water until tender cook the beets
separately until tender. Place in lay

in, seal well. This makes an attrac-

in the winter, also an excellent com
bination salad mixed with a little
French dressing. 1t is ready at a
minutes notice, therefore nice for
