FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST q, 1914
now LONG WILL WAR LAsTg

The two most recent Central Euro
pean wars were settled in an amaz-
ingly short time. In 1866 Prussia and
Austria went at each others threats
over the juicy Schleswig-Holstein
bone-to which neither Of them, by
the way, had any right. That war
lasted only seven weeks, and Il ended
in Prussia giving Austria a terrible
and humiliating beating.
France and Sardinia also gave Aus
tria a crushing defeat in 1S59-in q
war in which the general fighting
lasted less than a month. This list
does not include Italy's earlier and
feebler struggles for liberty against
Austria, as Id 1S4S-49, etc.
III July. 1870, France and Prussia
went To war. The general fighting in
that war lasted barely month OF
course, the siege OF Paris and other
maneuvers dragged on much longer,
But the actual clash in the field be-
gan early in August and ended early
lii September.
The RussC-Turkish War, six years
afterward, was longer by a year OF
more, but the Turco-Greek War i'm the
nineties was a matter of one swift
campaign. The Russo-Jap War was
also comparatively brief
I'm our own history here H., roughly,
the duration of the important wars;
Revolutionary War, eight years;
War of 1912, two years and eight
months; Mexican War, two years and
eleven weeks; Civil War, four years;
Spanish War, seven and half months
with the bulk of the fighting done in
two and a half
ALI but one of the foregoing were
duels between two nations. The last
general European war was the Cri-
mean, when England, France, Turkey
and Sardinia combined against Rus
STA, from 1854 to 1856. That war con
tinued for about two years, and
resulted in sound thrashing for
Russia.
Before that the Napoleonic Wars in
termittently brought every nation in
Europe to the battlefield. These wars
continued, with breaks OF long or
short duration, for more than twenty
years, and ended at Waterloo, when
the English, the Prussians, the Dutch
and other allies overthrow Napoleon.
Russia and England, by the way,
we're Germanys stanchest friends

Nearly two centuries before that a
German quarrel spread until 1t in
Volved almost every nation on earth,

the shorter it Is apt to be, especially

Hard Lucll.

A Missouri farmer whose son was
an applicant for q position under the

We'll, it's hard luck, but Joe has

looks like they just won't have him.
What was the troubIe?"
"Oh, he was short on spellin' and
geography and missed good deal in

OUTRAGEOUS FOOD PRICES.

Famine prices for food throughout
the United States are arbitrarily spec
ulatiye and criminal They have been
imposed at a time when the greatest
crops ever known are maturing and
in tile face OF an embargo upon for
eign commerce that may last long
enough to glut our warehouses.
III il thus that the war-makers of
the earth heap terror upon terror and
add suffering to suffering. The worst
of their offenses is not always to be
seen upon the field of battle. Sava-
gerry there has some redeeming
traits, such as courage, devotion and
sacrifice In the market-place it il
altogether sordid and calculating. In
conflict war kills and mains strong
men. I'm trade it starves the aged,
the young, the weak.
The movement in Congress to in
Testigate this outrageous increase in
the prices of provisions may be use
ful ira way, but it will not promptly
reach the evil. What is needed il in
slant activity On the part of the De-
partment of Justice. There can be no
such general and exorbitant mark
in Zip Of food prices in the absence
Of combination and conspiracy.
at Of our laws against trusts, IN
fair business practices, monopolies,
conspiracies and combinations are Sc

this, when American granaries are
