A SMALL SLICE ON WAR.

Word was waited up from River
side Friday that the far reaching in
fiuence of the European war was felt
in that placid and usually orderly
town last Thursday, and although no
lives were lost, one building looks as
though German areoplane had been
dropping bombs in that particular
neighborhood, or that the allies had
secured exact range with machine
guns. 1t was stated that gang of
bridge men, or gang Of men from
somewhere and off some construction
strolled into the saloon at Riverside
and commenced quenching an inordi-
nate thirst There was an English
man, Frenchman and several Ger
mans and Swedes in the covey. As
the liquid cheer commenced taking eff
feet, the bellicose disposition of the
absorbers came to the surface, which
il, in accordance with the prevailing
situation in the countries which the
travellers hailed from. At last the
Englishman, forgetting the courtesy
he owed to the nationality his coun-
try is fighting shoulder to shoulder
with as brothers, had the very bad
taste to remark that had not the
British come to the rescue the Ger
mans would have hammered the ever
lasting stuffing out of the French. The
Frcnchman proved loyal to the tri-
color, for he resented the imputat.on
with his fists, and sad to relate the
representatives of the two nations
who are mingling their blood on many
battlefield in united front against
a common foe started in to chew each
other up. 1t was battle that would
have thrown the scraps around Paris
in the shade had not Fred Gadbury
and Shorty Huber attempted to pour
oil upon the troubled waters. AS soon
as outsiders interfered the English
man and Frenchman remembered only
the alliance their countrymen had
formed for offensive and defensive
purposes, and joined by the represen-
tatives of the other nationalities, who
forgot European entanglements for
the nonce, the crowd commenced maxi
ing rough house, in which the
would-be peacemakers got what
peacemakers generally get, the worst
of it. The crowd, that had become
as noisy and busy as a swarm of
bees, was at last herded out of the
building. Then the erstwhile enemies
Joined hands in earnest and there
was something doing. They started
in to make that particular spot in
Riverside bear a fair resemblance to
Lourin in it's desolation and devas,a-
ton Aiming themselves with rocks
they bombarded the front of the build
ing, smashing glass and soiling it up
generally. 1t was a very animated
and exciting scene until officers and
citizens quelled the ciot. Fortunately
no one was seriously injured, and a
few dollars will remove all evidence
of the recent function, but taken al
together it was a convincing illustra-
ton that war is HI, and those who
had this brief glimpse of angered men
in battle array felt glad enough that
hundreds of miles of real estate and

LAST GREAT EUROPEAN WAR

History repeats itself-but with var
iations. A hundred years ago France
alone, under the leadership of Napol-
con, faced Germany, Austria, Italy,
Russia and Great Britain-and won.
At thirty-six, Napoleon had conquer
ed every nation of Europe, and in the
battle of Austerlitz in 1905, practically
brought the continent under the sub
lection of the French army. Then
Austria, Germany and Russia formed
the great coalition against France,
only to be beaten in battle after battle
until they were compelled to sue for
peace. England, thanks to her inpreg-
nable navy, was the only nation not
forced to acknowledge Napoleon's rule.
1t was the snow covered steppes of
Russia rather than the military science
of Europe that finally turned the tide
against him.
The present European crisis gives a
particular opportuneness to the offer
, of Napoleon's memoirs, announcement
of which is made in another column of
this paper. Few books throw more

been made in the art of welfare since
the days, only a century ago, wher
