The pumdum Bullets.

As was expected the charge that
dumdum bullets are being used In the
war has appeared. There has not
been war since the dumdum was
frowned upon at the second Hague
conference because 1t skaters bones
and tears great holes in the flesh
This time 1t Is the French who claim
that German soldiers are using 1t.
The dumdum is so called because II
was first made by the British at Dunn
dunn, India, the scene Of the first out
break in the mutiny of 1857. The Brit
lsh soldiers found that the small size
bullet they were using would not stop
their fanatical enemies. In civilized
warfare 1t was customary for man
shot through the body to think he had
enough fighting for awhile, but the
Sepoys we're different, so the British
soldiers made bullet that would flat
ten out VIII 1t struck bone, making
terrible wound.
There has since been a dispute as to
whether the dumdum should be out
lawed. On the one hand 1t Is argued
that its use greatly increases the per.
centage of killed, and on the other
that 1t should not be outlawed while
artillery is permitted to throw shells
that tear dozens OF men limb from
limb Most of the powers now fight
Ing have agreed that 1t should not be
used.-Savannah News,

War Leaders Are Old Men.

General Joffre, commander-in-chief
of the French army, is 81 years old.
He entered the French army when he
was is years old and served through

you should have truned to me for an
impartial judgment as the representa-
tive of a people truly disinterested as
respects the present war and truly de-
sirous of knowing and accepting the
truth.
"You will, | am sure, not expect me
to say more. Presently, pray God
very soon, this war will be over. The
day Of accounting will then come,
when, take it for granted, the ma
tions of Europe will assemble to de-
termine settlement. Where wrongs
have been committed their conse-
quences and the relative responsibility
involved will be assessed.
"The nations of the world have for
tunately, by agreement made plan
for such reckoning and settlement.
When such plan cannot compass, the
opinion of mankind, the final arbiter
in such matters, will supply.
ut would be unwise, it would be
premature, for single government,
however fortunately separated from
the present struggle, it would even be
inconsistent with the neutral position
of any nation, which, like this, has no
part in the contest, to form or express
a final judgment.
81 speak thus frankly, because |
know that you will expect and wish
me to do so as one friend should to an
other, and because | feel sure that
such reservation of judgment until
the end of the war, when all its events
and circumstances can be seen in their
entirety and in their true relation, will
commend itself to you as true ex-
preston of sincere neutrality.
WOODROW WILSON"
The President made similar reply
to the Belgian commission which Wis
tied the White House to protest
against the alleged atrocities commit
ted by the Geramns in Belgium.
