Guerrilla Warfare.

The term guerrilias is applied to
armed bands who, on the occasion Of
foreign invasion or civil war, carry on
an irregular warfare on their own ac-
count This class of fighters belongs
peculiarly to Spain, where from 1903
to 1914 they were Systematically or
ganized against the French, whose OPP
erations they very seriously embar-
raised. The country itself also suf-
fered from them. Many of them, par
ticularly MINIS band, joined Yelling
ton, and, after having undergone a
course of discipline, rendered signel
service as regular troops. On the con-
clusion CT peace large numbers were
organized into robber bands. In most
of the civil wars of Spain since 1920
guerrilla warfare, especially in the
Basque provinces, played a prominent
part. In the Civil war of the United
States bands of guerrillas committed
depredations on both Federals and
Confederates.

indoor occupations, with those of 400
navvies, iron workers and salmon fish

duty was to be soldiec: Tho greatest
honor was to give away life for the

population were killed. The Black
Death devoured 25.O0O,0OO people in
Europe during the fourteenth century.
Three hundred and fifty famines have
swept over the earth since the begin

destroyed like bubbles. Today all this
has changed.
Smallpox and yellow fever, for ages
the two dreaded horrors of mankind,
have lost their terror. The new dis
