The foui air in room is 1t or near the

The best ventilation possible in this

sufficient fresh air will enter tho room to

there will be little or no circulation,
hence but little fresh air.
We just want to add to this that there
is also another method of admitting
fresh air that is very objec lone ble in
this climate, which Is caused by some
people who don't seem to know enough
to enter and close an outside door, with
out holdng it open long enough to admit
several cords of nice cold fresh air, that
will take about twenty-five cents worth
of perfectly good coal to heat up before
it is in a properly usable condition.
Fresh air is mighty expensive thing
in North Dakota at this time of year. It
has great appetite for heat.and as a
steady boarder-better keep it out all
you can. You will have all you want
anyway.

SOME PHASES or
PRESENT WAR.

In many respects the present war is
very different from any war Of history.
The present var is chiefly remarkable
in the vast numbers Of men engaged as
veil as in the many nations involved
We have no actual figures a. to how
many men are in the fielu, nor yet how
many men are engaged in providing food,
clothing and munitions of war to tie
men in tie fields. but the long lines of
fighting men, the vast number necessari.
ly engaged in providing for the great
armies necessarily make totals SO large
as to be almost beyond the Imagination.
Again, heretofore the wars of the
world have been usually settled by one
or more great battles. Up to this time
while there has been much fighting,
with graat bloodshed, battles as we have
known battles in history have not yet
occurred. At the beginning with the
first onslaught of the German army
through Belgium it was history over
again. but the world never saw line Of
battle hundreds of miles long such as
are now existing along the Belgian
border.
We had read of great sieges of fortified
towns and fortresses but the mutual
sieges Of men in trenches sometimes only
the width of street apart, is something
the world has never before seen.
In the far east there is more of the
usual sort of warfare and more mobility
in the vast and contending armies but
even there much of the fighting is done
with the intrenching spades.
{ just now there is heavy pressure
evident on the German lines in Belgium
and all along the line. It may be that
Germany will be compelled to fall back,
but it Is also evedient that such move.
Dent would only give tho German q
stronger line Of Notifications from which
TO resist the allies. To us the only great
change. the only probability Of anything
hke Q decisive battle, or battles, must
como from the esst,-and it looks ss
though Germany had made up its mind
10 this probability some time age. from
tho number Of reinforcements that have
been sent there which were much need
Cd at the west.
All these things tend to the probability

EVOLUTION OF
CIVILIZATION.

DR.. c. Alphonso Smith, of the Uni
versitv of Virginia and Roosevelt pro-
fcssor at the University of Berlin i'll
1910 and 1911, who is visiting Baltl-
more. believes that the European wal
will cause the human race and its So
called civilization to skip forward just
100 years in its evolution. he also
believes that this l00-ycar leap, with
in Il few months will not result al
together in evil.
The greatest good from the wal
might come from the REIMBURSEMENT OF
Europe according to races and Ian.
guagcs, DR.. Smith said yesterday. nc
said that such a REIMBURSEMENT would
almost instantly begin to produce
rood results and that Europe would
20 forward with a bound.
mIakc Germany and Austria as cH'
amplcs of what bad adjustment OF
races and languages will do" he cN
planned. Except in medicine, Aus
tria is almost absolutely barren in al
the arts, sciences and industries o
modern life. 1t is considered th'
weakest of the big powers. It's na
,ional energies have been wasted i
friction between the many races AM
languages making the empire.
Germany was welded into one M
ton with one language and it ha
made the mighticst progress OF Q"
time in national power, in sclcnc
and art, commerce and industry
That shows what is to be gained D
having one nation to be composed 9
ono people with the same Language

SPREAD OF THE
WAR CLOUD.

The war cloud is now cnvcloping al
the larger countries of Europe, while
it's shadow is falling upon the smaller
: kingdoms. The British Isles, France
Belgium, Germany, Austria Hungary
Russia, Italy and Asia Minor are
seething with war and war prepare
lions while the observation hangs
dismally over Mediterranean, English
Channel and the North and Black
Seas.
The land of the Caesars is now one
of the belligerents, and ere many
hours the people of that land, storm
tossed almost since the days Of Rom
MS, will again be battling with its
ncighbors.
Switzerland, Spain and Portugal
are still nominally neutrals during
this fearful clash, but it may be Il
matter of short time before they.
too, will contract the war fever. Den
mark. Sweden and Norway are also
peaccablc spectators, but the attacks
upon neutral commerce by the bellig-
crcnts are likely to cause strained re-
lations, if not war, in the near fu-
ture.
The part, the United tSates is des-
tined to play in this universal carnage
is difficult to see at present, although
the more hopeful in our country be-
lievc the careful hands in charge Of
American diplomacy will steer the
ship of state clear of the breakers.
The desperation of the warning
nations, however, is likely to bring on
friction. as in their eagerness to in
flict damage on each other they will
not calmly realize issues which are
sure to be precipitated by rashness.
The Mediterranean has now be-
come another war zone. Great Bri-
tain holds Gibraltar, the key, and
Malta, an important stronghold. Brit
ish, French, Austrian and Italian
mcn-of-war are ready for battle
and the blue waters will doubtless
close over thousands before peace
shall again prevail in the world.
