Last Great European War
History Repeats Itself but with iari-
ati0ns

A hundred years ago France
alone. under the leadership OF
Napoleon, faced Germany. Aus
tria, Italy. Russia and Great
Britain and won.
Al thirty-siN Napoleon bad
conquered every nation Of Europ
and in the battle Of Austerlits in
in 1905, practically brought the
continent under the subjection
Of the French Army. Then
Austria, Germany and Russia
formed the great coalition a
gainst France, only to be beaten
IN battle at er battle until they
We're forced to sue for peace.
England, thanks to her inpreg.
able navy. was the only nation
not forced to acknoW edge Nap
oleon 5 rule
1t was the snow covered
steppes Of Russia rather then
then the military science of
Europe that finally turned the
tide against him.
The present European crisis
gives particular opportuneness
to the offer Of Napoleon Memoirs,
announcement Of which is made
in another column of this paper.
Few books throw more illum-
mating and interesting light on
the underlying causes Of those
years Of conflict then the fascln-
ating story of. the man whose
anetoric career left Europe sown
with the seeds of discomfort.
'.Eyentually', said Napoleon,
Russia will rule the world. =
The present conflict goes toward
discriminating the truth of that
prophecy, and day by day it will
furnish an absorbing illustration
Of the advance which has been
made in art of warfare since the
days, only century ago. when
France alone had Europe at her
feet.
Napoleon 5 Memoirs, written
by his private secretary, Baron
De Meneval, will give you a clear
er insight into that tremendous
npheaval OF Europe which the
present crisis seems destined to
reproduce.

Wonderful Machine
The FIRST National Bauk Installs
New Machine as Assistant
HUokkeeper

Tie First National bank of this
city has gust added a remarkable ma
chine to its equipment, a machine
that posts ledgers more neatly quick
y and accurately than a human be-
ing can 10 the work
People who are not acquainted With
the inside workings OF bank vii not
fully realize the great advantages OF
machine work over hand work ia
posting to the ledger. Tie big al.
vantage ot using the machine Is tie
saving OF time and OF the improve
ment IA the appearance and leglbillty
OF the ledger sheet. The big city
banks in New York and Chicago save
at least fifty per cent Ia time BY the
machine method, and the First Ma
tlonal bank will save at least that
much time. Then. too, there is no
possibility Of an error, as the ma
chine cannot make a mistake.
Heretofore the clerks when posting
to the ledger had to just make a list
OF checks on each account and then a
list OF deposits, add each list separ-
ately and then subtract to get bal
ance. This is all accomplished in
one operation by the new machine.
One OF the remarkable features OF
the machine is that it automatically
detects and marks oyerdrafts with a
minus sign. When the checks exceed
the deposits no result can be printed
unless the lever is in the "subtrac.'
position.
The machine automatically adds the
deposits to the old balance, and sub
tracts the checks as they are listed.
The new balance is computed ard
proved simply by taking total. The
saving IN time means something to
the patrons OF the bank, as this time
Will be devoted to the improvement of
the service in all departments OF the
bank.
The machine was purchased from
the Burroughs Adding Machine Com
pany Of Detroit, and is known as the
Burroughs Adding -Subtracting ma
chine. 1t is the result of much time
and money spent by the Burroughs
man-power invention department
to find a machine that would supplant
the unreliable human brain in work
that has to be absolutely correct in
every detail.
1t prints dates, adds old balances
and deposits, snbtracts checks, com
putes and prints balances, and auto
matically detects oyerdrafts. All the
operator has to do is to put down the
amounts. All further mental effort
is eliminated. There is no human be-
ing who can list Ind add a long col
um Of figures at the same time with
absolute accuracy, but this machine
does it.
The bank invites its spatrons and
friends to call in and see the actual
workings OF this wonderful machine.
