emancipation, was born in Hardin
county, KY, on February 18th.
1909, being only the next year
after the birth of Jefferson Da-
Wis, afterwards President of the
Southern Confederacy, and Lin
coins great antagonist. He
spent his childhood days on the
Lincoln farm where he was born,
till the age cf seven.
In 1916, when Abe was only
seven years of age, his father
moved with his family to farm
in Spencer county, Indiana, and
his mother died in 1915, or when
Abe was only nine years of age.
The loss of his mother was an
F.. irreparable loss, but his father
was married the following year,
! 1919, to Sallie Bush. His moth
er's maiden name was Nancy
Hanks.
His Step mother was always
kind to him and he was always
ready to help her with her do
mestic work. He built the fires,
carried the water and prepared
/ the wood.
The same year that the Lin
coins moved to Indiana, the
State was admitted into the
Union. This was in the last year
of Madison's term as President.
The second war with England
had been fought, while Lincoln
was only a small boy and, while
he was yet in Kentucky. But he
was in later life a great student
of the principles over which that
was waged. Those principles are
now settled in the system of in
ternational law.
During the ten years from
1916, Abe was engaged in labo-
rious work of various kinds, hav-
ing only about years schooling
at intervals; but he always made
good use of what time he could
attend school.
On one occasion, while very
young. he wrote:
Abraham Lincoln,
His hand and pen,
He will be great,
God knows when"
There was something in Lin
coins nature that prompted him
on, to think, to act and to feel.
His thought was of a high quail
ty and he always seemed to feel
the pain of others who were in
distress.
In 1925 Lincoln ended his
school days at Pidgeon Creek,
Ind,
In 1880, the family moved to
Illinois, settling on farm in
Macon county. On the breaking
out Of the Black Hawk war, in
1882, he he was chosen captain
of his company, of volunteers,
and served three months in the
campaign.
He next opened a country
store and was appointed post
master of New Salem, ILL.,, and
also tended the mill at the same
place, the old stone dam of which
can still be seen when the San
CANON river is low. 1t is two

gave his impressions of several of the
European armies, especially those Of
Germany and France. whose man
euvres he had watched closely. He
credits the German army with Won
derful precision, SO long as there is no
interruption of the p~re-arranged
plans, but with vast inferiority to the
French in everything which depends
on the individual Of the soldier or
the minor officer. The real test Of
these things will come soon.

japan was issued by the Japanese
government on Feb. 10, 1904. Presi-

sued on Feb. II, the very next day.

FoRry-FouR YEARS AGO.

New York Times: 1t Is idle to talk
OF parallels or presidents for such a
war as impends. The Napoleonic
wars from first to last involved more
nations; they virtually constituted a.
real battle Of Armageddon, for even
the war between England and the
United States, begun in 1912, was a
part Of the broader contest, and the
revolution of South America against
its European rulers grew out Of the
general downfall. But there has
never been such a war since civiliza-
ton took on its present aspect, since
the nations became commercially fed
eralized and financially interviewer so
that = blow In any quarter OF the
world may have its effect in all.
The last great European war be-
gan forty-four years ago, in July. It
may be said to have been the cause
OF this one-if war comes: for out OF
the unsettled questions it left grew the
necessity Of such alliances as long
prevented war and are now plunging
nearly all Europe into 1t. The Fran
coleman war began on July IS,
1870, and lasted seven months and a
day. 1t was on February 1s, 1871, that
the gallant garrison of Belfort march
ed out with the honors Of war. When
it was over $4,000 Germans and 1885,
600 Frenchmen had been killed; 1o1,-
600 Germans and $4,000 Frenchmen
had been wounded and disabled, and
100000 Frenchmen were prisoners Of
war.
Two weeks after the declaration of
war there were 25o.ooo Frenchmen
and $4,000 Germans under arms; by
the middle of November, when
Frances armies had fallen and Gam
BETA had created new ones in the
face OF the enemy, 6oo,o 900 French
men and 425,o0o Germans: after the
surrender Of Paris and the diearma-
ment of Bourbaki's army, $4,000
Frenchmen and $4,000 Germans.
There were still 100000 French troops
on foot at the end Of the war.
The cost of the war can never be
calculated. France lost AIsace and
Lorraine and paid an indemnity OF
$1,000, ooo, 900, with German soldiers
standing on her soil like constables
until the money was raised and paid.
1t would be safe to say that half. If
not two-thirds. Of the cost of Frances
armament in the forty-four years
since then would not have been in

which crushed France and virtually
decided the war.
Our neutrality proclamations are
almost identically the same. although
a few adjustments are necessary to
fit our treaties with the countries at
war. President Wilson follows the
general terms of the Grant and Roose-
welt proclamations.' Both of these, in
order to preserve the neutrality Of the
United States and it's citizens and of
persons within it's territory and juris-
d%iction, and in order to prevent any
"unintentional violation" of its laws
and treaties, declared thai the act of
April 20, 1918, commonly known as
the neutrality law was to be OBJ
served.
Of the belligerents. AS enunciated by
the Grant and Roosevelt proclama-
tons, they are:
Accepting a war commission from
either belligerent.
Enlisting in the service of either
%belligerent as a soldier or seaman, on
board any warship or privateer.
Hiring another person to enlist or
go beyond the jurisdiction Of the
United States to enlist in the service
of either belligerent. This, however,
does not prohibit the subjects of eth
err belligerent, who are merely tenn
porarily in the United States, from en-
listing or retaining another subject to
enlist aboard a belhgerent. warship
which may happen to arrive in Amer
can waters.
Fitting out, or attempting to fit out,
any ship for the service of either bel
lgerent.
Issuing a commission within the jur-
isdiction Of the United States to any
ship to act as a belligerent.
Increasing or improving the rma
ment of any belligerent warship with
in the Jurisdiction of the United States.
Setting on foot or fitting out with
in the jurisdiction Of the United States
of any military expedition against the
territory Of either b%elligerent.
President Grant issued a second
proclamation on Oct. 8, 1870, which
was incorporated in the Roosevelt
proclamation, declaring that the use
OF the waters Of the United States by
belligerent armed vessels, whether
public ships or privateers, in order to
prepare for hostile operations so to
keep watch on the ships of other bel
ligerents lying within the jurisdiction
Of the United States, must be regard
ed as an unfriendly act.

THE NEUTRAL NATIONS.

What will be the fate of the neu-
trail European nations during and aft
er this war? War respects nothing.
Belgium is an independent nation, and
as such, is entitled to have her neu-
trality respected. But Belgium lies
like a wedge separating Germany
from France. Germany has demand
ed of Belgium a friendly neutrality
in this war, mi that permission be
given for the free passage Of German
troops toward France through Belgian
territory. If this is granted the inde-
pendence of Belgium will be respect
ed after the war is over; otherwise
she is to be treated as an enemy. The
Belgians thus far stubbornly refuse
to be dragged into the quarrel in this
way. and are determined to resist
with what force they have the en-
trance Of an invading army. That
Q that Germany will make war
on Belgium, and, in the event of Ger
man success in the great war, when
the fighting is over, and the surviv-
ors take up the work Of remaking the
map of Europe, we may expect to see
Belgium added to the German empire
as one Of its principalities.
Holland is another Of the little in
dependent countries which stand in
the way. The Hollanders evidently
fear that the Germans may make de-
m on1e IN thA~, ~-h{4I will i~xy@1x-4
the surrender Of their national indie
pendence. Hollands great enemy, the
sea, has on more than one occasion
proven a useful friend. and prepara-
tons are now being made in that
country to do as has been done be-
fore, open the gates and let the sea
inundate the miles Of low-lying lands
and thus prevent armed invasion.
Switzerland occupies a position in
the vast center Of the continent, and
at it's crest. It's independence has
been guaranteed by all the European
nations for many years, but guaran-
tees count for little in the face Of mil
itary necessity. Fortunately for the
Independence Of Switzerland, the
country Is rugged and mountainous,
and its successful invasion, against
the opposition Of such stubborn fight
ers as the Swiss, is practically impos-
sible, as more than one European
monarch has found to his cost In the
present Ease there is little likelihood
that there will be occasion to send
an army through Switzerland, and any
commander would think twice before
attempting to force a passage.

Vincent went. to Hawley to view the
remains Of an unknown young man
whose body was found underneath the
bridge about a half mile east of Haw-

the fall the lace struck the reinforcing
rods Of the concrete pier and the head
and face were SO badly mashed as to
be almost unrecognizable.
1t. is not known who he was as
there were no articles found on the
body by which he could be identified.
He was a young laborinR man, was
dressed in good clothes and appar-
emily was not broke. His hat was pur-

was Of medium height.
