or fanciful about it. Even the
binding is Of the fashion OF another
day. And in the back of 1t is little
letter to those who wish to live at
peace and die In happiness.
The letter Is an extract from some
OF the works of one of the old saints
1t Is iull not only Of beautiful piety,
but of a shrewd, worthy wisdom that
Is somehow as refreshing and Inex-

THE WAR IN TRINIDAD.

Trinidad, Col, is having bloodier times
than Vera Cruz. Forty-fve dead, score
missing and another score wounded is the
the result of a 14-hour battle between
Colorado state troops and the men. women
and children of the mining district con
UoIled by the RocEefellers As nation,
we are too engrossed with the interna-
tional affairs along the Gulf of Mexico to
take a very keen interest in what is being
done in the Colorado mining district
But if we stopped to think much about it
we must realize that we have IA civil war
OF our own in the mountains around Trim
dad We must be a good ways from the
Christian ideal yet when we can have the
slaughter of mnocents that is going on at
Trinidad and not turn a hair about it.
What makes it most pitiful is that two
thirds OF the victims are women and chill
dren.

LORD KITCHENER DENIES

Imaginary.

LONDON, December u6:20 T.. NJ.
The Press Association announced to-
night that 1t had been informed Of
hciaiiy with reference to an interview
purporting to have been had by Irwin

cabled to London and published here
to-day, that the language Ia not tina,
of Lord Kitchener, and that his lord
ships official representative expresses
surprise that 1t should have been re-
garded possible that Lord Kitchener
used such expressions"
The official press bureau tonight Is
sued the following statement on the
subject:
with reference to so-called intor-
view with Mr.. Cobb:
Although Lord Kitchener saw MT
Cobb few minutes October 81, moth
ing in the nature of special inter
view was granted, and the remarks
attributed to the Secretary OF State
for War are imaginary
Tic statement attributed to Lord
Kitchener by Irwin s. Cobb, which has
called forth an Official denial by the
press bureau OF the British war or
fice. is probably the following, taken
from this weeks issue of the Saturday
Evening Post:
THE war Will last not less than
three years" Lord kitchener said. ~,
will end only when Germany is
thoroughly defeated, not before-de-
feateu on land and on sen. That the
allies Will win is certain. That for us
to win will require n minimum period
of three years, I think probable. II
might last longer, this war might. II
might end sooner. It can end in only
one way.
THAT 1t will end In a month from
now, or six months, OF year, dc
not think likely; go, to be on the
safo side, say three years--at least
three years"
