The paper Of the evening was pre-
scented BY Clyde Earl Ely ON "The
Historical Background Of the Pres
ent European War;" The text fol-
lows:
To turn from contemplating the
drama of the present conflict In Eu-
rope. in which every civilized being
is feverishly interested, to the early
scenes Of the age-old complications
to furnish an historical background
for the tragedy, is to exchange the
limelight for the obscurity Of the
property room. Here is Roman le-
p,onary standard, the crook Of me.
dieval pope, the bearskin Of a GAL
lish warrior, the sword Of Charlie
magne, the armor Of feudal lord,
the crown Of q Capetian king, the
scepter Of a Holy Roman emperor,
the escntcheon Of Crusader. an or
toman crescent, a Russian ikon, and
ON down the passage Of time till the
dim light reveals rusty guillOtine
blade, the chapeau Of Napoleon. the
goosequill Of Matternich, the staff of
Gladstone, the helmet " Bismarck,
and the eye glasses Of Cavour. To
the student Of history each article

marks an advance toward the uni
veisal democracv which is now but
half realized.
Tie subject j. Tot a popular one
however. How much more inspiring
to view the battlefield Of the nation
To watch the incompatible German
artillerymen serve their guns, view
the Highland regiments flash Their
bayonets in the sun, see the march
of a million Austrians, behold the de-
fense Of the Belgians, to hear the
war cry Of the Cossacks, the scream
Of bursting shells, and the thunder
of dreadnaughts. Not so pleasant
but far more powerful in its appeal
TO human sympathy, is to hear the
groans of the wounded under the
heat Of midday, the weeping Of wid'
ows and orphans, and mark the ruiz
Of field and factory.
The first thought is to condemn
those responsible for the awful cata,
clysm, to bemoan the perversity ol
human kind, aud to picture So
ciety in which the agony Of war vii
have no part. BY analyzing the mat
ter, however, we may find that thu

FLNDLE Y ORDERS
CIDER DESTROYED
Samples Analysed Show That
They Contain More Alcohol
Than Law Allows.

Resulting from the analysis of I'VE
different samples Of cider that had
been offered for sale here, A. j. Find
ley, prosecuting attorney, has been
notifying local dealers that a good
deal of It comes under the ban OF the
prohibition law and he has been warn
ing them to destroy what they have on
hand.
The samples that were analysed at
the instance Of Mr.. Findley were taken
from fruit and confectionery stands
operated here by foreigners and the
analyses showed that the cider con-
tanned anywhere from two to seven
and one-half per cent OF alcohol. The
prohibition law limits the percentage
of alcohol in cider to less than one
half of one per cent. All beverages
containing so much as one-half OF one
per cent OF alcohol by volume are
deemed spirituous liquors under the
law.
Promises have been made to the
prosecuting attorney by the local deal
ers whose samples have been analysed
to destroy all cider Of the kind they
have in stock.
