OUMOUM BULlETSIWERE
Named FOR THE TOWN
Where They Were First Made
A Fiendish Species OF
Warfare.

The French accuse the Germans
of using dumdum bullets in Alsace.
They have made a collection of these
missiles. and promise to enter for
NAL complaint about them before
The Hague tribunal, or before the
representatives of the Powers of all
the world.
Dumdum bullets have their name
from IA little town in India, near Cal
cutta, where the ammunition facto-
ry for the British Government in In
dia is situated. For the benefit of
Afghans, possible Indian mutineers,
negroes and other barbarians, the
British had a bullet manufactured
here which is half covered with
steel, cut with a soft leaden nose;
when discharged from a modern ri
fle of high power, this soft nose en-

him to death.
The purpose of this bullet is to
kill the man every time. The pur-
pose of the ordinary humane bullet
of modern warfare, which is wholly
incased in steel or nickel, is merely
to put the man out of the fight. 1t
makes a small. clean wound. If it
does not strike vital part the bull
let may go entirely through the man
without wounding him seriously.
But it shuts him out of the fight for
the time being.
Our British friends in India con-
sidered that a humane bullet like
that would be of little use to fight
savages with and therefore, at Dunn
dun, they manufactured the soft
nosed, expanding horror. But the
International Conference at The
Hague in 1899 decided against the
use of this bullet in war, and adopt
ed rule forbidding it.-[New York

They are not significant save as of
obedience to partisan orders. The
greater critics OF recent times have
honorably and periodically admitted
their mistake and are giving the
President that support in his for
eign policy he so richly deserves.

At THE NATIONAL HELM

Fortunately for the country. a
master hand is at the helm at Wash
ington. He realizes what neutrality
should be. and he will see that 1t is
observed. His wisdom, proven in so
many ways-in the repeal of the
Panama Canal tolls exemption law,
irritating to foreign nations; in the
handling of the dangerous Mexican
problem; in the pushing through of
the Federal currency law, which
now prevents any financial stress

]. S. GOVERNMENT ONE
OF OLDEST ON EARTH
Has Seen the Rise and Fall OF
Nearly All Other Such
Bodies.

A young Austrian said to me a
few days ago: Germany will not
become republic even if this war
brushes her. Her Kaiser's family
has 200 years of rule behind it and
the people want him.
The HohenZollerns have 200 years
of rule in Prussia, but the German
Imperial Government is only A
years old. Other parts of Germany
might out-vote Prussia in forming
a republic.
1t may astonish you to note how
very few countries have an older
Government than the United States.
Our land may be new, but the Gov
eminent is one of the most venera-
BILE on earth
China's republic is a baby but a
few years old Japan's present re-
gime dates back only As years. TIA
ly's kingdom is about the same age,
and Portugal's republic has been in
existence less than decade.
Turkeys constitutional Govern
ment, which came with new Sui
tan, and Persia's Government are
also political infants.
The French republic is no older
than the German empire. and the
revolution that split Norway and
Sweden happened since Cuba be-
came free.
OF the 20 Independent nations to
the south of us in America, every
one Is younger than the United
States. The Austrian common
wealth and the South African union
are mere children.
England, Russia, Austria and
Spain have ancient regimes, but the
American republic cemented here in
Philadelphia has witnessed the rise
or the fall of nearly all the other
important Governments on earth.-

ROME IN TIME OF WAR
Is TORN AND ANXIOUS

DR.. b. M. Triple, president Meth
odist college of Rome writes:
This terrible European war has
been in progress but few weeks,
and yet its destructive effects on all
classes of society are already seen
and felt The last battle to the
north of us resulted i'm forty thou
sand dead and sixty thousand
wounded.
Italy is not nominally in the
struggle and yet she must necessari-
ly bear part in it. One cannot be
anywhere in Europe and escape
from its effects. Moreover. Italy
feels constrained to hold herself rea-
dy for any eventually at any mo-
ment. Thousands OF her young men
are under arms. Some of our Meth
odist ministers are already called.
Numbers of our laymen are at the
front. business is largely paralyz-
ed. Workmen are idle. Banks are
calling in their loans. Money is not
to be had.

got every one else building A. d. G.s.
But I think all the navies are COM
ing around to what we call the
mixed battery ship, and that is as
II should be.
THE original dreadnought idea
was ship with all big guns of
twelve or fourteen-inch caliber and
few smaller guns, say three OF
four-inch caliber, for use against
torpedo-boats. But the size of the
lesser battery has been creeping up
year by year, until our newest ships
have six-inch guns with the four
teens, and | understand some YES
sells have eight-inch guns, which are
pretty sizeable weapons for any use.
81 believe this war will show that
well distributed fire by the me-
diminished guns will do much more
damage than the slower single shots
of the big fellows"
May this possibly mean return
to the use of smaller-caliber guns?"
Admiral Mahan was asked
"The results of the naval battles
will tell; that cannot be said now, 3"
he replied.
The Admiral declined to comment
upon the. comparative fighting abil-
ity or gunnery of the nations involv-
ed or to be involved. Nor would he
advance any theories as to the dam
age likely to be inflicted upon the
large fighting craft by
submarines or by air craft.

But Louisville People
Didn't Know 1t.
FELLOW IN" ON THE SCHEME
Gave II Away and Health
Officers Then Got Onto
the Scent"
SLAUGHTER PLACES GUARDED

Louisville, KY. Oct. paris in
the siege of 1870 suffered no more
serious gastronomic hardships than
has Louisville during the last three
months, according to the City Board
of Health which has announced
that thousands of pounds of horse
meat have been consumed by the
populace recently.
Discovery that this meat has been
foisted upon the public in the guise
of hamburger steak has resulted
in warrants being issued for the ar
rest of AL Koch and Joseph Open
heimer, proprietors of slaughter
houses near the city. The arrests
followed an investigation by three
special agents. The cases will be
prosecuted to the limit.
Horse hamburger has been whole
sailed to butchers at 10 cents a
pound, several cents under the price
of real hamburger. it is charged.
The Health Department claims to
have evidence that decrepit and dis
eased horses were butchered by the
score and doled out to Louisville
patrons. DR.. Gary, city dairy en-
pert, charges that at two slaughter
houses evidences of horses having
been butcher We're found, al
though he says the work was done
at night and that he has never been
able to witness an actual slaughter
of horses. He alleges that at the
slaughter house an impregnable line
of defense was constructed, consist
ing of bull dogs stationed about 10
yards from the front and back
doors.
The Health Department declares
it received the first intimation that
horse hamburger" was being serv-
ed to the public from man who
claims to have been in on the
scheme. An alteration arose be-
tween this man and his partners
over the division of profits and he
informed the Health Department, it
is said.
DR.. Ezra Witherspoon, Assistant
Health Officer, said to-day: 1--WE
have sufficient information at hand
to know that many horses have been
butchered. They We're purchased in
this and adjoining counties for
price slightly above the value of
hides and bones. Prices paid rang
ed from IS to $40 All the animals
purchased We're too old to work. The
hides brought about $3.50 each. A
few dollars were received from
fertilizer firm for the bones and 9TH
err refuse. There is no profit in kill
ing horses for the hides and bones
when they cost even little as So
on the hoof.
However. when the meat can be
disposed of as beef the profits should
be enormous. Horse meat is a deep
er red than beef 1t tastes peculiar
when eaten for beef A hamburger
steak made of horse meat fries out
several shades darker than rare
beef. whereas if beef were used in
hamburger it would be a well-done
brown"

On the Sea, Says Admiral
Mahan.
BIG GUNS NOT ALWAYS BEST
In Naval Fight-Th0se Of
Smaller Caliber Are
Most Effective.
MUCH Is VET TO BE DECIDED

Quogue, l.. l., Oct. S.-"The most
decisive strokes in the general Eu-
ropean warfare will be delivered, in
my belief, upon the sea. rather than
upon the land" declared Rear Ad-
nral Alfred T. Mahan, retired, in
an interview here. 81 look for an
all-around naval conflict which
should teach many things about sea
lighting craft, about guns and about
armament
What will happen" the grizzled
veteran of forty years of service in
the American navy was asked,
when dreadnought meets dread
nought, when the tremendously
powerful, modern superbattleships,
with their fourteen-inch guns and
their thousand or more men to the
ship, get together? Will the prob
lem of their worth, their effective
cess be settled?"
The problem of the A. B. G.. Tor
all big gum ship is highly inter-
esting one" Admiral Mahan replied,
land we may learn through this
war of it's worth. But the lesson
will not be shown in any ship-for-
ship fight. Dreadnought against
dreadnought will be no different
than one old frigrate against anoth-
or old frigate in the days gone by.
THE really interesting and in
structive combat would be between,
say, a dozen dreadnoughts and a
dozen and a half smaller vessels, for
instance, of ordinary battleship size,
We might then see whether or not
the twelve and fourteen-inch gun is
of so great Importance as has lately
been assumed"
The Admiral intimated that from
what data he had been able to OBJ
tain it was likely that the very big
gun might prove to be a much over
rated weapon.
I'm the Russo-Japanese War, be-
lieve-and many other naval officers
agree with me-the bulk of the
damage was done by the eight and
ten-inch guns" he said, I'm that
conflict | think it was shown that
the volume of fire, the number of
hits, was much more important than
the single shots from great guns,
and | believe this war will prove the
same thing.
For example, imagine single
shot from fourteen-inch gun hit
tir.y an enemy's ship 1t does ire
mendous damage, certainly. But,
one might almost say, it does too
much damage; that is, it exerts
more power than is necessary to
cripple the adversary. Two shots
from eight-inch guns would be much
more effective in battle than one
fourteen-inch shot.
II cannot say that | agree with
the idea of the A. b. G. ships. Eng
land, of course, originated the
dreadnought, and cackled like
chicken that had laid an egg and
