DEBTS OF WARMING NATIONS


 Before any general war is entered nto the Eu- ropean nations must count the cost. Reference to the Italian Turkish war little" war by compar- ison shows that vast sums of money will be needed to place in the field single army corps fleet of battleshps The two Balkan wars added millions of dollars to the national debts of Turkey Bulgaria, Servia Greece and Montenegro-debts al- ready out of proportion the size and resources of the countries. Servia, in the present with Austria Hungary, is already heavily burdened while the stagnation of business, the neglect of agricul ture and the depletion of the labor supply by vio lent death, translated into wealth. amount to a staggering
 The high of living. which is pinchng the workingman is also driving the departments and naval boards to sore straits. Battieships and armies require millions These millions not to before loans possible lenders must be found. If the six great powers of Europe should be plunged into war. each must borrow money. The States mans Year Book for 1913, published in London. and recognized statistical authority, places the United Kingdoms gross national debt at $724061,947 pounds. equal to $3.620. .309,735. The French debt at the last obtainable reckoning amounted to s6,511,57s,s55. Russia's national debt in 1913 $4,222.S5S.SS0. Add these and find that the total indebtedness of the three nations in the entente amounts to almost $15,000.00O,000

ty they heard on all sides. Democrats and republicans said that they felt un- der no obligations to their parties and that this time they were going to vote for the men that they believed would give the state the best administration.
 Leaving Nogales, the candidates went to the mining camp of Patagonia where they found many progressives and persons of progressive tendencies. The ticket is assured of heavy vote in that precinct. On returning to Tue son, the candidates visited Fort Lowell. where there is strong colony of Nor mons who warmly received them.
 Most of these colonists had been driven out of Mexico by the war but have obtained citizenship in this country. The vote in that locality will be solidly progressive. That does not mean that a majority of the votes will be progressive but that every vote will be progressive. Speeches were made to the colonists by MT. Young and MT. Alexander pr.

An Argument to Anarchists

Those whc publicly argue against capital pun- ishment habitually over-reach themselves bv at- tackng peace officials and jurymen and by attempt ing to throw dscredit upon the courts The mur- derer, whether merely charged or actually con- victed. is held up victim the law as it is administered No matter how horrifying his crime and how evident his guilt, he is paraded as an ob- ject of sympathy persecuted by society Conviction is held to be crime committed by juries and prose- cutting officers and permitted by the courts.
 It would be a bad thing if the anti-capita pun ishment orators could any considerable part of the community that this is so. They would have made some progress in the establishment of an- archy in the land. All but anarchists still have faith in the integrity of and in the gen. eral operation of the machinery of the law, or in their ability to maintain the integrity of the courts The antis would have us believe the courts are hopelessy wrong
 Without capital punishment, we would still have these prosecuting" officials these heartless jury men and these cruel courts still pursuing the same methods to secure the conviction of those charged with crime So, the character prosecutors, jury men and courts have nothing to do with the ques- tion of capital punishment. and we think level- headed law-abiding citizens deprecate attempts to smirch that character in which have confidence if society is to remain orderly
 We have doubt that the third degree" has been abused. but should like to see the use of it prohibited. We recall case in which the application of it has resulted in the conviction of innocent but it has facilitated the con viction of many guilty There have been in- stances of hardship to the innocent the degree far toward convincing prosecutors of their in- nocence.
 But. leaving out the matter of the third de- gree and admitting that it is of doubtful utility tile machinery of justice 1t is wrong anarchistic tv cast reflection ndiscrimnately upon juries and officers of the law By so doing the ants must be injuring their For, if the administration of the law is bad when have capital punishment the abolition of capital punishment will not leave the administration any better
 This argument of the antis is a direct insult to law abiding men and women whose resentment must find expression against the cause in which it is presented.

GURKHAS OF INDIA
 SPLENDID FIGHTERS
sravest and Most Loyal of Nativ,
 Troops

! LONDON, Sept. 27-Gurkhas make up large part of the forces from In- dia, now on French soil. Splendid ser vice has been rendered to the British empire by Sikhs and Dogras, Pathans and Rajputs, Jats and Baluchis, but the little brown men from Nepal seem to have captured the popular inagin- alton in a way that has no parallel, except. perhaps, in the case of the Sikhs.
 Aryan by descent and protesting by way of faith sort of purified Hindu ism, still tinged by the Buddhism of earlier days, the Gurkha is a born fighting man-strong, sturdy, brave to fault famous alike for his endur- ance, his dogged tenaci.y, and his dash. He has come out victorious from some of the hardest fighting India has known. He has been loyal to the British for more than a hundred years. and nothing gives him keener delight than to be fighting side by side with them in the greatest war that history has ever known.
 And these little brown men, with the bare and silent feet, and the courage that knows no check, are tremendous fighters. Hardy mountaineers for the most part. inured alike to heat and cold, and wonderful marksmen, it would be difficult to choose better 1 auxiliaries in the task that now con- fronts the allies. Moreover they are keenly intelligent race, and as tough as nails, splendid in bayonet charge and terrible at close quarters.

 It is known by the testimony that has come from the front that the Ger man soldiers have shrunk consistently from the contact with cold steel If it comes to hand-to-hand contest, and the little Gurkha discards his rifle for the long, wide -bladed, keen edged ku- kri, the knife which may be described as his national weapon, they will crumple up like eggs.
 but then war is a terrible business al the best and if Germans and Gurkha come to grips. there will be few Ger mans left to tell the tale of their en- counter with the little brown men from the Nepalese hills.
 There are ten regiments of Gurkhas each of two battalions. a total of 20.- 900 men. Of the 1st (King Georges

Some Facts About the New Comet and "Reminiscences of an Earlier One, Reward for Which There Was Misunderstanding

A reader of The Republican at Florence would like to know some thing about the new comet which is seen in the northeastern sky after 3: 30 o'clock in the morning Having seen it. the subscriber knows about |as much concerning II as anybody else. Some call it Delavan's comet. but whether it is a new comet or a recurring wanderer of the sky. mo- body is quite sure. It has not been positively identified. It was reported from the Lick observatory about six weeks ago. It was then visible only through the telescope, but it was pre- dicted that it would soon be visible to the naked eye.
 The Republican few days ago re- ceived letter from Harry J. Bonnet. at the Buffalo Arizona mine. saving that he had discovered a comet about o'clock in the morning in the north east
 l It is the more remarkable that MT Bennett should have been the discov- erer of such an indistinct object, since it might have been supposed that he would be looking for votes, for earthly bodies to cast them. rather than foI strange, heavenly bodies.
 But that is a. pretty good section for the discovery of comets on account ol the purity of the atmosphere. The comet of 1906 was observed one nigh by W. E. Bancroft, who was then iT the same locality, and he wrote tt The Republican about 1t. It happen led. however, that a reporter for Int Republican had observed the come the same night. and, so far as known it was seen that night from only on' other point, the observatory at Are iquipa, Peru. which gave it to the pub lie through the Associated Press tn following night. The reporter wh had privately made known his dis
 covery the previous day, that nigh
 wrote about it, dividing the credi
 among the Peruvian observatory, MT
 Bancroft and himself in equal parts IA day or two later The Republican received a rather indignant lette from Mir. Bancroft. who believed tha Ia conspiracy had been formed t
 swindle him. He had been told a
 wickenburg that a reward of s25
 had been offered by somebody for tn finding of that comet, and he claime 1.-the reward. There was an eviden lattempt, he believed, on the part O tThe Republican to deprive him of
 part of the reward. and he announce tthat he would object strenuously t having it cut three ways.
 The reporter always afterwar lclaimed that he never received hi
 share of the. reward mentioned by MI lBancroft. He did not know wnethe Ethat gentleman and the Arequipa ob
 servatory had received their share' He often thought Of writing to M Howell. the owner of that observator, las well as the one at Flagstaff. abou lit. but, with usual repertorial shift |lessness, he put it off from day to da

Nor in engage ments is it stated where they took place Descrip- relate to localities between places widely sep arated. and definite points. Students of war maps cannot make head tail out of the descrip- tions.
 The Paris and London official versions of the last weeks describe the German position as de- fensive. and. until within a day two, have de- scribed the attempt of the allies to envelop the right western wing of the German army This wing is supposed to be some distance north and west of St. Quentin which. by the way, the French dispatches of week ago said had been captured after defeat of the Germans near that point. However, the Germans are yet between St. Quentin and Paris and still slightly west and north of Laon and La Fere which they occupied after the battle of Nous
 From the same official dispatches. not of any one day. but of several days 1t appears that while the flanking movement in the west has been in progress the Germans have been trying to break through the allies center, but just where is not entlfeiy ciedr, 1hey are st1u storInlng the f0rts about verdun. and. according to a brief German dispatch yesterday. they had captured stronghold south of yerdun and recrossed the Mouse.
 Still more confusing is the report of the Ger intention to assault Antwerp for which pur- pose they are bringing up those heavy siege guns which quickly wrought such havoc at Lieee and Namur. There seems to be relation between this movement and the battle in progress along the Aisne. The inference must be that the Germans, if they able to undertake the attack upon Antwerp which. however successful, would not improve their Trench campaign. cannot be sorely pressed by she anieA
