Wars Begun in ApriI

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 If Roman augurs were now on the job they would find something ominous in the fact that all our wars began in the month of April
 The battle of Lexington, which opened the War of the Revolution, was fought on April 10. 177s. The first passage of arms with Mexico. wherein "American blood was shed on American soil" according to President Polk. was on April g. 1S4s Fort Sumter was fired on April F. 1861. and war was declared with Srain on April el. 1898 And the present trouble culminated on April %.
 The only apparent exception to this is the second war with Great Britian cor monly known as the war of 1872. War w. actually declared in June. but stage ti war had really existed for years. The en ' bargo and non-intercourse acts of Con { gress were really war The Chespeak, affair and the constant impressment of American seamen had all the aspects of war, SO that this can hardly be named as an exception.
 Of course. there is meteorological reason for this. In the gone of war Is not carried on with much efficiency in win ter time. The latter Is a time of prepara- ton. But there seems also psychologist cal reason. In the spring a young mans fancy lightly turns to things of love- as the poet has sung. but this is merely an expression of the fact that the human blood begins to warm mp and the emotions to boil at the very time that the sap is running In the trees.

 T was awakened by the crash" said Mrs. Greenaway There was a great rush from the cabins and in the excitement I clung to man whom I thought was my husband. As we reached the deck the ship was down on one side so that we could have walked on the other side to the waters edge.
 Suddenly. on looking at my compan- ion found that he was not my husband, so I set to look for him among those who were crowding the side of the ship. By that time the ship was nearly under water. When the final lurch came gave myself up as lost. I went down with the ship. but an explosion occurred and was tossed up out of the water. bruised and hurt by pieces of wood

 MT. Greenaway told his story as fol- lows:
 "I was awakened by the crash and got out of my berth at the request of my wife, not thinking. however, that there was anything seriously wrong. My wife noticed the list of the ship and suggested that we should go up on deck. On the way up we were separated.
