PhiIharmonic Concert Enioyed.

The concert given Tuesday evening
at the Atlanta Theater by the Phil

greatest successes of the season from
a musical standpoint. Miss Eva En-

once on the program in the Ave Ma
ria from The Cross of Fire" but re-
sponded to two encores. Emil Zoll-
mer accompanied her.

orchestra, selected well the numbers
of the program, and handled the or
cFestra with wonderful cleverness.

of the three large orchestras in that
city Another selection by this noted
composer was rendered, compost

HORRORS OF WAR.
Vast Increase in Effectiveness of
Man-Killing Military Engines.

From London Tit-Bits. August IT,
Some years ago NJ. Bloch. a great War
saw banker and political economist,
startled the world by the declaration that
a great war between European powers
was a physical impossibility.
such a war;" said M. Bloch, has at
last become impossible, and those who
are preparing for war and basing all
their schemes of life on the expectation Of
war are Missionaries Of the worst kind
Science and invention have made 1t not
merely impossible, but unthinkable."
Without taking quite such an extreme
view as the famous Russian apostle of
peace, it is easy to see that war be-
tween two or more great European ma
tons, If not actually impossible. would
have consequences SO terrible that no ma
ton would ever dare to face them sec
ond time.
In the past war has been sufficiently
prodigal in its squandering Of life and
gold. During the past century alone 1t
reaped a harvest Of 100000 lives; in
one great struggle, that between France
and Prussia, the death roll totalled $780,
600, and on three battlef1elds-Borodino
Moskowa and Leipzig-more than a quar-
ter of a million soldiers were either killed
or wounded. The price paid for the
Franco-German war in gold was f516.-
100000 Gncluding Frances indemnity;
and the American civil war Is said to
have sacrificed 100000 lives at a cost of
1900, OOO,OOO
Such was the price paid for war in days
before the science Of death-dealing was
really out Of its cradle. and its rapid
progress during the last generation has
advanced it as far from the day of Sedan
as Sedan was removed from Agincourt.
What strides the science has made Is

TRAINING OFFICERS
OF FRENCH NAVY
Students for Commissions
Are AfIoat for Most of Their
Period of Instruction.
From the Navy Magazine.

rom the Navy Magazine.
In the education and training Of both
officers and seamen for the French navy
the schoolship plays predominant role
For the education of officers the "Ecole
Navale'' virtually means the schoolship
and its annex. the schoolship OF appli-
cation. where the aspirants put into prac-
tfce the theories learned under the for
mer. Under this system the future Off
GERS of the French navy are afioat most
Of the time during the period of their
official instruction, either in the harbor
Of Brest- or along the coast or on long
cruise in foreign waters.
A regular naval school was established
at Havre as early as 1773 and at Brest
and Toulon in 1854. For many years the
schoolship for naval officers was called
the Borde. named in honor of cele-
brated French naval officer and mathe-
matician. 1t was. however not always
the same vessel. but series. each taking
Borda was the former Commerce de
Paris, transformed into the naval school
in 1910. For this reason the cadets were
popularity known as "Bordaches.''
The dynasty Of Borda, however. has
called the Duguay-Trouin. while the
Jeanne dare is now the schoolship OF
application wherein the long cruises are
made. The Jeanne dare is an armored
cruiser of over 10000 tons launched al
Toulon in 1899. The old Borda was, as
the midshipmen called her. an old pom
toon," a floating barracks from whicf
all the seagoing installations and ma
chinery had been removed. The ne"
ship, since she is still fit for service

proved by the statement of an expert
that the artillery of today Is at least 116
times more deadly than the batteries
which slaughtered their thousands at Sc
fire, for example. only scattered thirty
seven death-dealing missiles. Now it
scatters 340 A bomb weighing about
seventy pounds forty years ago would
have burst into forty-two fragments. To-
day, when it is charged with peroxilene.
it breaks up into 100 pieces. 1t is esti-
mated that such bomb would effectually
destroy all life within a range Of 900
yards of the point Of explosion.
So terrible in it's powers of slaughter
Is the modern cannon that If body of
10000 men advancing to the attack had
to traverse a distance of mile and a
half under the fire of a single battery
they would be exposed to 1.45O rounds be-
fore they could cross the zone of fire, and
the bursting of the shells fired by that
battery would scatter 275.OO0 bullets
(more than twenty-seven for each mani
In fragments over the mile and half
across which they would have to march.
Such is the perfection which artillery has
attained already, thanks to the invention
of the quick-f1ring guns, to range-finders
and to the use of higher explosives. The
modern rifle has a range of two to three
miles and such power of penetration
that its bullet will easily pass through a
dozen men before Its force is spent.
Such, too is its speed Of fight that there
is no longer any need to sight the gun
SO as to drop your bullet at a particular
range. You aim straight at your man
and the bullet goes straight to its mark.
Today, too, the soldier can fire twelve
times as many shots per minute as he
was able to do generation ago. AS
recently as the RusSo-Turkish war a SOL
der could only carry eighty-four cart
ridges into action; now he can carry
roughly four times this number without
adding to his burden.

Aboard the Schoo1ship.

Successful candidates receive formal
notice of appointment as cadets in the
naval school and are expected to present
themselves on board the schoolship at
Brest September 30, the school year be-
ginning October 1. On their arrival they
are subjected to a supplementary medical
examination. Following this examination
the candidates recognized definitely az
suitable for the service receive a certif-
cate of acceptance from the command
ant of the school. Within a period OF
one week they must go before the mayor
of Brest and contract a voluntary en-
gagement of three years in the navy.
The complete course In the naval
school proper covers two years. At the
end of the first year the cadets have one
months vacation and the two-year period
ends with leave of two months Then
comes a period Of ten months passed on

cadets take a long cruise and familiarize
themselves with the theories previously

mad Dog War"

From the London Chronicle
Under what name will the present war
go down in history? Most of the great
struggles of modern times have been be-
tween single opponents-the recent Balkan
campaigns were the first since the
Crimea in which the issue has been COM
plicated by the presence of more than
two combatants in the field. The war
which was approaching its end a hundred
years ago offered no difficulty, it was
too intimately associated with the name
of one man to be described as anything
else than Napoleonic. but there is no
such easy solution in the present case.
To our own generation in Britain it will
possibly be known as the mad dog war,
and we must leave to our descendants
the task of giving it fitting historic
title.

affords better opportunity for gaining
practical sea experience.
Growth of the School,

In view of the increased demand for
officers made by recent French naval
program. the number Of midshipmen
has been increased to about two hundred
and this growth of the school has
brought home to the French authorities
the difficulties of establishing labora-
tories for proper teaching the technical
subjects in the confined space aboard
ship. with the result that plans have been
made for transferring the school to a
group of large buildings near Brest
No one is admitted to the French naval
school except by competitive examina-
tions, held each year in Paris. bordeaux.

other French cities and towns. The num-
Der of candidates to be admitted each

Democratic King and Queen.

From tho London Chronicle.
When King Albert visited Paris in
1910 1t was noted that in his speech
at the Elysee he referred to the Bel
CLANS as my compatriots." not my
subjects" This way of speaking is
typical Of one who delights above all
things. in being democratic. Not long
before his accession the king and his
wife went for q prolonged ramble
round Belgium, studying provincial
and local peculiarfties and maintain
ing the strictest incognito throughout
their journey. They lived in inns the
life of the common people and did not
disdain the rough resorts OF fishermen
and sailors. The experience proved SO
enjoyable that the king and queen
have repeated 1t more than once, and
it may be safely asserted that the
knowledge thus gained by them OF
their "compatriots' is without a par
allel in the lives of European monarchs.

What people want to know and what

the French soldier differs from what

The first of these is one upon which

that every one who wants to under
