HORROR AND COST OF WAR
Judge Ebert II. Gary Tells of Con-
dtions as He Saw Them in the
Wake of Armies.

On Sunday, August 80, in company
with another. l rode by motor car
about two hundred miles in a semi
circle on the north and east of Paris,
going within ten or fifteen miles OF
the line of battle, but taking good
care. of course, to keep beyond the
limits of danger, ! was forcibly i'm
pressed first with the horrors of war
and second with its enormous cost.
l saw everything Pertaining to war
except actual fighting; large numbers
of re-enforcements going to the front
and many wounded returning to hos
pitals; troops of all kinds, and arma-
ment, ammunition, supplies, facilities
Of every kind for offense and defense;
engineer corps, aeroplane corps, etc.
Thousands of refugees were fleeing
from their homes to places of sup
posed safety.
The next day much of the territory
traversed was occupied by the forces
engaged in deadly conflict. The in
struments of destruction, the methods
Of using them and the facilities for
moving armies have greatly changed,
and therefore as the destruction of
life will be so. large and rapid 1t
would seem as though the war must
necessarily be sooner ended than in
former times and under different con-
ditions. I saw temporary hospitals in
private houses. under the control of
Red Cross societies, on every hand,
and many ambulances in USE

Land Enaaaement in 1912.

One hundred years ago the Amer
leans and British met in a skirmish at
Lyons Greek, near the Niagara from
tier. This was the last long engage
ment fought in the North in the War
of 1912. The action was between sew
eral detachments of United States reg
ulars. with a small party of dragons
and rifemen, about nine hundred men
in all, and select British corps of
1900 men. The British made the at
tack, and after some sharp fighting
were repulsed with considerable loss.
The loss on the American side amount
ed to 6S killed. wounded and missing.
Soon after this date the American
army, after destroying Fort Erie, re-
tired across the border and went into
winter quarters at Buffalo, Black Rock
and Batavia.
