poor unfortunate lumberjack. an
other victim of John Barleycorn, de-
cided to end his days on this earth in
most spectacular manner last night
When he walked out on the flat at the
end of South Fifth street, east, un-
dressed to the last garment he wore,
cut his throat and lay down in the
snow to die. The man was found al
most Immediately after he slashed his
throat and was hurried to the Sisters
hospital. Several hours later he was
able to speak a few words and said
that his name was Sam Barnes: that
he was a lumberjack recently at work
in Camp No Z in the Blackfoot; that
he had been drinking in Missoula for
a week and had had no sleep for four
days and nights. His recovery is
very doubtful.

WORK OF THE SURGEONS.

1T Is HOPED, because Of the great inn
provement in medicine, surgery and
hygiene that the present European war
will show a marked decrease in the number
OF deaths from disease and wounds. There
has been steady progress on these lines for
nearly century, and it has been most rapid
in the last few years, during which time
mankind has mastered the science Of santa
tion and the prevention or limitation Of dis
eases.
Full returns from the front have, there.

not do to include in the estimate the largo
number Of wounded who have been left to
die on the battlefield, because they have
been unable, in most cases, TO receive treat
ment The fighting has been so furious and
so bitter at times that in most cases armis-
tices asked for to recover the wounded have
been refused and thousands have been al
lowed to die on the battlefield for lack OF
removal or attention But for those who
have come under the care Of the surgeons
and the nurses the reports are most crafty

BLIND LEADERS.

1T is NOT STRANGE that much misinfor-
nation concerning the war is spread by
word Of mouth among those who arA
able to give only slight attention to tho
course Of events, in view Of the astonishing
errors which are the work Of newspapers
making high pretensions to accuracy and in
telligence. In q recent issue Of one such
daily paper, there were three outstanding
and gross exhibitions Of ignorance in tho
discussion and presentation Of war news.
Two were in an editorial One spoke Of
"Ostend, the only real seaport Of Belgium,
thus placing city which is noted chiefly as
a summer resort like Atlantic City and as q
landing place for steamers plying across tho
English Channel ahead Of Antwerp, one Of
the three ports Of Europe that outrank all
the rest. To compare 0stend with Antwerp
as a seaport is almost like contrasting At
lantic City with Philadelphia, or Newport
with New York.
In the same editorial the Germans ara
credited with holding their lines across the
entire breadth Of France" Take any map
Of France and draw lines to the frontier,
north to Belgium and east to Germany from
a point one-third Of the way from Paris TO
the Belgian boundary and it will be seen
at a glance how ludicrously far such lines
fall short OF stretching across the entire
breadth OF France" About per cent, per-
haps per cent Of the area of France is
inside the German lines, yet they are said 10
extend across the entire breadth Of
France"

obvious errors Of their own.

suffer from lack of men to develop them.
With the unsettled valuation of currency in
the lands at war it is natural that financial
enterprises must halt until the war nears
an end. No business thinks Of planning
for future growth IN these countries; each
finds it difficult to hold its own.
So related by commercial ties are the
countries Of the world that the earthquake
which has shaken to the foundations all
business enterprises in the rich nations at
war cannot but affect the neutral nations.
America is marking time today, but when
favorable opportunity presents itself will
plunge into the marts of the world with her
wealth Of produce of every kind and reap
prosperity. America is not seeking to profit
by the distress Of her brother nations, but
America is the potential land Of vast re-
sources which, if the war lasts long enough,
must feed the world.
Yes it is true things may be rather dull
with you and the immediate outlook blue,
but are you in danger of your life, is your
property about to be confiscated by your
governments enemies is your business ire
parably ruined are you ill-prepared to face
the rigors Of winter and again, is your
physical and your financial life threatened2
Well, then, give thanks.

we're wounds were treated In France, but
even allowing for this fact the figures ara
gratifying, especially If we recall the heavy
British losses in the South African war,
when the deaths from wounds were half as

the deaths from disease nearly three times

about this it is up to you to feel enormous

When you feel a bit down in the mouth
and the world and life seems tinged with

August and that you are not in danger of

and starvation for millions in Europe2 Have
