Mis-. Nell Spradlin. Who Has
Been Missing Since Tuesday
. May be White Slave Victim
Police Fear.

That white slavcrs." whose opera
lions in a number Of the larger cities
OF the country have caused exhaus-
tive investigations by Rockefeller and
other wealthy men. the results Of
which have thoroughly alarmed the
country to the extent OF the nefarious
traffc In human souls existing in
this country, are operating in vir-
ginia and even in Richmond on
large scale Is the belief Of several
members Of the local police detec-
tive department. who are investigating
the disappearance of Miss Nell Sprad-
lin, who last Tuesday disappeared
while travelling from Bedford City
to this city
A. L. spradlin, Of los West Mar
shall street. a brother Of the young
woman. after making extensive search
for his sister, last night appealed to
the police for assistance in locating
her.
He said that he had been notified
that she would leave Bedford City by
way Of the Norfolk and Western rail-
way for this city, and had met every
train that afternoon and evening by
which she could possibly have come.
When she did not arrive he thought
that she might possibly have been
forced to change her plans at the
last minute. and did not worry.
Began to Worry.
When several days parsed, however,
and he received no word from her or
his relatives then Spradlin became
uneasy and made inquiries at Bedford
City. He was unable to obtain any
information as to her whereabouts
He knew that she had planned to stop
at Lynchburg and learned that her
trunk had been checked to this city
from that place.
The trunk arrived safely at the
Byrd street station, but there has been
obtained absolutely no trace OF the
girl.
Her brother told Captain Nc
Mahon last night that he had exhaust
ed every means ct his disposal before
appealing to the police. and that now,
thoroughly aroused to the possibili-
ties Of her disappearance, he was very
anxinus for her safety.
He described his sister a. being
TWENTY-FIVE years OF age. of medium
build. with light hair and blue eyes.
No description was given OF tho
clothes which Miss Ppradiin wore at
the time OF her disappeaFAnce.

OF relief.
Its was a day of excitement. Train

At Normandie there was big washout,

A big cut was made under the tracks,

Warfare Of other days was described
in a fascinating lecture on Numbers
In History" recently at the University
college by Prof Hans Delbrueck, pro.
fessor Of history at the University of
Berlin. Professor Delbrueck said the
first point to which in any history OF
war they had to direct attention was
the number Of the warriors. 1t was
recognized fact that Moltke displayed
great genius In 1870 when he directed
a monstrous mass of his troops from
one center, drew them up abreast,
and made them act together in battle.
Herodotus related that 100000 men
was the strength OF the army of
Herxes. If that we're true one might
calculate that the last men could only
have left Susa beyond the Tigris when
the first arrived before Thermopylae.

Caliph Omar's act in ordering the
burning of the books of the Alexan-
drian library occurred in barbar-
Gus age. What he did often is par
alleled without the logic of religious
fanaticism which can be pleaded in
his defense. From Paris comes the
report that an enormous number Of
documents stored in the national
archives and Indispensable to French
history of the nineteenth century have
been accidentally destroyed. The di-
rector, in order to make space, clear
ed out and burned 30 tons of papers
which he assumed to be worthless. He
was careless. 1t is now discovered
that all the documents relating to the
history of public education in France
for large part of the last century
were included in the supposed rubbish
which he condemned to destruction.
In similar manner have perished
many records which would have been
esteemed treasures by local historians
in the United States.

REDUCING REST.

Once the nerve specialist used to
prescribe for the overwrought person
season and place of solitude, per-
haps an ocean voyage, fer rest. Once
that was easy. A little way back in
the country one might find the spot.
An ocean voyage meant two weeks, at
least or nearly" total isolation from
the sights and noises and disturbing
occurrences of earth But in the
course of time and invention and dis
covery it has come to pass that this
is no longer SO. The areas of soli-
tude grow smaller. The ocean voy-
age is shortened, and at no time in it
Is the voyager out of touch with land.
The omnipresent telephone, the news
paper, the trolley. the automobile,
narrow solitude anc eliminate dis
tance. The wireless makes the ocean
voyage only partial disconnection
from the things of earth. Now we
are to have even railroad trains with
their wireless apparatus, so that the
speed maniac may not forget the vex-
ations of earth even for little time
on the rail. These are changes typi-
cal of the times. They indicate mans
progress in some respects, but they
seem in other ways to speak his
doom. At once they make rest i'm
perative and more nearly impossible.
