WAR BECOMING
MORE HUMANE
(By a U. S. Army surgeon.)

(By u. >. Army Surgeon.)
In the American Civil War eight
soldiers died of disease to one from
wounds. Experts expect that in the
present general European struggle not
more than three will fall victim to
sickness to ono killed on the field of
battle.
Such is the advance OF army sani-
tation and army surgery in fifty years.
The Americans and the Japanese have
been the leaders. The United States
army hospitals have installed many
remarkable innovations since the Span
ish-American War with its dreadful
lesson in the danger of typhoid and
these new ideas have been adopted by
the army surgeon Of old world powers
So il is expected that the present
war, the greatest yet in history, also
will be the most humane. There will
he 40 disproportionate mortality list
from disease and no army Of eripples
as an aftermath.
The modern high-power, quick-firing
military rifle and the development in
artillery will have much to do with
the change.
These who die will die more quickly.
Gangrene and infection will be prac-
tically unknown quantities, it is
thought.
Before the Russo-Japanese conflict
the rrmies the world over used high
.calibre bullet, made of unsheathed
lead and CREASED to overcome friction
in the barrel.
The muzzle velocity was less than
half that of the missiles now en-
ploycd.
Then, too, bayonct and sabre charges
were more common. These resulted
in hideous wounds, very difficult for
surgeons to handle.
The bullets which are flying in
Europe today arc of less diameter
than the ordinary lead pencil. They
are jacketed with nickel, lead or steel
and have tremendous velocity.
The soft, mushrooming bullet of the
old day resulted in the shattcring of
bones and the crushing, rather than
cutting, of tissues. Infection was al
most inevitable, the grease being
especially unsanitary. A wound in
the abdomen was considered neces-
sarily fatal. The death rate among
the wounded was enormous.
In recent campaigns there are in
stances where soldiers shot in what
were once considered vital spots hav.
walked unsupported to the field hos
pitfalls.
Germany uses a Mauser rifle, will

coatel with nickel. Russia uses Mos
sin-Nagant rifles calibre 7.62 nm
with bullets cupro-nickel coated. Au.

BRITISH HAVE ABSOLUTE
CONTROL CHINESE OPIUM

Hong Kong, China, March 6.-Tna
British Government today set in motion
plans for the absolute control of the
raising, marketing and sale of opium
in the crown colony of Hong Kong, on
the southern coast Of China This has
been done in an attempt to counterfeit
the deficit Of $2O36,616 Mexican in the
budget of 1914. This abolishes the
opium farm system, which has been in
operation here for years.
By taking over the opium farm, and
establishing an official monopoly, the
government expects to reap a profit of
$l.579.369 Mexican, which will come
within $500 goo Mexican of wiping out
the dreaded $2.O36,616 slump in the
government revenues.
Caustic criticism Of this plan which
will make the crown colony a traffick-
{ on the pernicious drug for profit has
call d forth denials from Claude Sel-
ern. the official administering the
government, and other Hong Kong Of
ficials, who contend that the plan is the
best that could be devised under the
circumstances.

Madison Heights, Va.-Mr. Chas. A.

NEGRO HOUSE MAID
MUST ANSWER CHARGE
Of DELIBERATE ARSON

Atlanta, March 6.-The punishment
for arson in Georgia is death, and the
law may put a negro girl of Atlanta,
Annie May Hayes, in the shadow of the
gallows The girl who was a servant
in the home of Comptroller General w.
A. Wright, has confessed to the police
that she deliberately set fire to the
Wright home from motives OF anger
and revenge, after she had been repri-
manded for not doing her house-work
as she should.
According to the girls story she de-
liberately threw a lighted match into
the upstairs closet of the home, after
seeing Mrs. Wright leave the house.
The blaze ignited clothing ana the fire
spread. Only the timely arrival of the
fire department saved the house, AMI
as it was the damage amounted to over
$1,000 The girl remained inside th9
house, instead of running out, when
the blaze began to spread, and her
strange attitude aroused the suspicion
of the f1remen who turned her over TO
the police
This is the first case in many years
il which a woman has been accused CT
arson Although the death penalty
might be exacted under the law, there
is scarcely any likelihood that the case
will actually take such course. There
hasn't been a woman hanged in Geo1-
gia since the civil war, and besides, the
fact that the girl is only fifteen years
cid is inducing the Probation officers to
take a hand.

BITION

San Francisco Cal, March 6.-For
fifty years Captain Bernard Paulson
sailed in the seven seas and devoted
his waking hours to battling with wind
and tide But when he climbed into
his bunk he dreamed of chickens.
Not the sort of chickens you are
thinking of, but fat Plymouth Rock
hens that laid an egg a day, and state
.ly roosters as consorts to the same,
For the Cap" was one of that vast
army which devours poultry journals
and pines, if in their secret hearts, to
own a poultry farm with high wire
fences.
Through all the years Captain Paul
son had come off without a single
mishap. Recently his yacht went
ashore on Marine Islands. When day
break came in the morning, the cap
tain looked about him and slapped his
leg.
This island" he cried, "is just the
place I have been looking for. Right
here is where am going to start that
poultry yard have been planning"
The islands are owned by the gov
eminent. Captain Paulson leased them
as soon as he got ashore. He will have
a modern seyen-acre marine poultry
Farm with ships lights on the coo9s

CAMPBELL MORGAN
FIAY5 SPIRITUALISM

Atlanta, March 5.-That there actu-
ally is such a thing as communication
with beings in the spirit-world, but that
the art is of Economical origin. and that
all Christian people should oppose it,
is declared by DR.. G. Campbell Nor
gan the famous London preacher, who
is in Atlanta in Connection with the
Rible Conference.
Modern spiritualism is new de-
monical movement and the church OF
Cod must set herself against it," he is
quoted as saying. q believe in spiric
ualism There is something in it, but
something terrible 1t is traffic with the
underworld of evil. Man can and does
Rave dealings with spirits, but in the
long run it is dangerous and harmful"
Members of the Psychic society here
are dtsinclined to agree with DR.. Nor
gan's views, and point to the serious
scientific work that has been done in
recent years along the lines of attempt
ed verifcation of ghost stories and
communication with the dead.
No Christian, DR.. Morgan said,
should NEEDLE with any efforts to com
.municate with the spirit world In do
ing so, material harm might come to
him, and at the same time he would be
erdangering the salvation of his soul.

THE ROSE MAID"
AS SWEET AS
ITS TITLE

A sweetsr name could hardly have
been selected for an opera than that
Of "The Rose Maid" which is soon to
be seen here for the first time with its
elaborate production and carloads of
scenery, girls and comedians. This
widely advertised success is announc-
ed for one performance at the Opesa

romance that forms the plot of the
opera. Daphne wins him from his
selfish financee, the Princess Hilda, and
is finally instrumental in restoring his
fortune.

including "Roses Bloom For Lovers,
1.-Two Little Hearts" Nights of Glad
ness" and the Moon Song" all of
which became whistling favorites dur
ing the operas record-breaking run 1t
the Globe Theatre, New York.
The producers Of "The Rose Maid"
are said to have cast tradition to the
wind in their latest Offering. Both acts
are invested with an atmosphere of
youth and joyousness that starts with
the rise of the first curtain. The first
act pictures the magnificent salon Of
the truly regal town house of the
young Duke of Barchester There is &
gay revel to celebrate the Dukes be-
trothal. The stage is filled with beau
tifully gowned women and gayly uni
formed army officers who help to make
the party memorable for the assembled
guests. A group of TivoIi dancers
flash on and exit over a table followed
by another dancer, who sets the aud
fence shouting its applause as she fin
ishes with a dazzling string of flip
fops.
