ASIATIC CHOLERA is now epidemic
in Austria-Hungary. 1t is estimated by his
torians that in the wars of the past, four
ffths of the mortality has been due to dis
ease. In the thirty years war, from 1913
to 1o48 all Central Europe was turned into
a pest-house; typhus, dysentery, the Black
Death, smallpox, and cholera destroyed
army after army. During one winters rest,
more than ten times as many men were lost
as during the summers campaign In the
campaign of Napoleon against San Domin-
go, of $4,000 men, 10000 were dead or
disabled, before they met the enemy, from
disease. In the Crimean war, the disease
death rate of the English army was four
times as great as the battle death rate; and
in the Cuban campaign of the Spanish war,
nearly four-hfths of the United States loss
Of men occurred on American soil from one
disease-typhoid fever. In the Philippines,
the loss of American soldiers by disease was
five times at great as the loss by battle

ment of worlds supreme tragedy.
The terrific shells Of the Germans, after
a thirty six hours bon1bardment, laid low
the city Of Antwerp on the 9th, and the
victorious army took possession singing as
they marched through the deserted streets.
Antwerp, with a population Of approx
mately 100000, is one Of the largest ports
in Europe, and was considered one of the
strongest fortified points in the world. But
the terrible new German Krupp mortars
made incredibly easy the work Of demolish-
ment
The sights and scenes, as recorded by eye
witnesses, surpass the imaginations of an
inferno. The government and foreign lega
tons had removed to Ostend on the 9Th, af-
ter proclamation signed by the military
governor urging all citizens who could to
leave the city Immediately, and advising
others to seek refuge in cellars.
The battle of the Aisne, which has lasted
a month, is expected to end soon in a great
decisive fight. Very little can be said with
certainty, beyond the fact that fighting is
going on
Interest attaches to the action of Colonel
Maritz and the rebels under his command,
who have rebelled against the British gov
eminent in the Union of South Africa Gen
eral Botha, the premier, has sent force to
deal with the rebels under his command.
On what seems authentic information, the
British ambassador to Turkey has asked the
women Of the embassy to leave CONSTANT
nople. Questioned as to whether departure
was necessary, the ambassador replied:
you must accept the hint without asking
the reason The Turkish army, modified,
is estimated at 100000 men.
The relations between China and Japan
have become strained, the Japanese occupy
ing the Shantung railroad in Shantung
province This is a Chinese state railroad,
and was built by Germans. China has pro-
tested against this action.
Two elements in Italy are striving for
supremacy-a radical element pushing for
war, and a conservative element striving to
main neutral. These elements are almost
evenly watched at the present time.
From all other centers Of action, there is
but little change from last weeks situation.
Word of new kinds Of guns and shells
is received continually from the war field.
! Entirely new conditions, new weapons, new
methods, and new requirements mark this
war of the nations
HIGH LIGHTS:
The Belgian government has issued pro-
test to the neutral powers against the threat
ened famine in Brussels, claiming it to be
due to the action Of the Germans in mon
opolizing all food stuffs. - 1t is re-
ported that two hundred fifty Protestant
ministers Of France are serving on battle
fields, and that nearly all the Methodist min
listers in Germany are under arms. - Five
hundred East Prussia villages have been
burned to the ground. The peasants are
staying in this devasted district and slowly
starving Two old people, man and
wife, had all their belongings swept away in
a night. They have eleven sons in the war,
but can exDect nothing from them as no

These potatoes were grown by Mr. G. H.
