MILLIONS OF LIVES
ONE YEARS WAR COST

Oue year ago MONDAY Cne Aus
trian archduke, Ferdinand, and
his wife were shot and killed in
the little Bosnian town of Sera-
jevo by Garvio Prinzip. 1t was
the act of Prinzip, a poor student,
which ultimately resulted in ten
nations going to war. These ma
tions are, on one hand, Great
Britain, France, Russia. Serbia,
Japan, Belgium, Italy and Mon
tenegro, and, on the other, Ger
many, Austria and Turkey. The
war to date, according to conser-
yative estimates compiled from
the best available reports, has
caused loss to the various bel
ligerents of more than 5000, 900
men, dead, wounded and prison.
oners, and more than 500 ships.
Of these about 120 were war YES
sells.
The outstanding results on land
are these:
Germany has been driven from
the Far East.
A part of the Dardanelles is in
the possession of the allied ma
tions.
Portions of France and Russia
are in the possession of German
troops.
A strip of Alsace has been
taken from Germany.
On the continent of Africa
parts of territorial possessions
have been lost by bost sides.
Various island possessions of
Germany have been taken by the
forces of the allies.
Italian troops are in possession
of strip of Austrian territory.
The outstanding results at sea
are these:
German and Austrian mercan-
tile shipping has been driven
from all the open seas.
German and Austrian war yes
sells having total displacement
of approximately 275, ZOO tons
have been destroyed.
War vessels of the allied ma
tions having a total displacement
of approximately $4,000 tons
have been sent to the bottom.
The greater portions of the al
lied and German fleets in the
North Sea remain intact.
Except for communication sent
through Holland and the Scandi-
navian nations, Germany is cut
off from the rest of the world.
Effort on the part of the Ger
mans to place the British Isles in
a similar predicament has result
ed in the sinking by submarines
of hundreds of vessels flying the
flags of the allied and neutral ma
tions.

Must Control Our Impulses
and Exercise Forbearance,
Says CharIemagne Tower

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February o.
Setting forth our rights and duties as
neutrals in the present European war;
Charlemagne Tower, former ambassador
to Germany, in an address to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Alumni here last
night declared that up to the present
moment the President Of the United States
has scrupulously guarded the interests of
the people in fulfilling these obligations
to all concerned. and has admirably
maintained the dignity of the nation
America" he continued, lis powerful
enough to maintain her Independent atti-
tude: she is too great to be partisan.
I'VE have our rights as neutrals which
are recognized by international law. We
have especially the right to carry on un-
rnolested our commerce and trade, and to
deal freely with either belligerent, SUBJ
ject, Of course. to the rules as to con-
traband of war. AS We deal fairly with
each OF the nations in respect to our
neutrality in the conflict, so We expect
that they VIII show us the same fairness
in regard to our commerce and trade
But above all else, there is one
thing we must demand. They must let
the American flag alone. 1t must not
be hoisted falsely on any foreign shin
1t must not be trified with by any one
We are facing a situation fraught
with difficulties. and we are likely to
see arlSs at any moment questions of
such delicacy as to tax the Judgment
and the skill of our most experienced
| statesmen to solve. An accident any
where might give rise to storm of
feeling which in moment of uncon-
trolled impulse might lead to the most
deplorable results, quite against the
better judgment of the nation. II is
our most pressing duty now to prevent
such an occurrence, and by keeping
before ourselves the standards of life
w Enf IN. do,
in America, 10 exert our influence
toward patience and forbearance, in
order that justice may triumph in the
end.
we are the only great power en-
tirely free from European obligations
of any kind. We have the respect and
confidence of the nations involved in
the war How gladly we should well
come them if they turned to us and
gave us the opportunity to re-estab-
lish the peace of the world"

Quit Meat When
, Kidneys Bother
Take a glass of Salts before
breakfast if your Back
Hurts or Bladder is
troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
saws well known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which ex-
cites the kidneys, they become
overworked from the strain, get
sluggish and fail to filter the
waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu
matism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleepless-
ness and urinary disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts
or If the urine is cloudy, offensive,
full of sediment, irregular of pas
sage or attended by a sensation
of scaiding, stop eating meat and
get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and in a few
} days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from
( the acid of grapes and lemon
juice. combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate the kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer causes irri-
tation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
( Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful ef-
tfervescent lithia water drink
which every one should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and active and the blood pure,
)tlierebyeavoiding serious kidney
complications.

Foolish to Stop Sales.

But my chief objection to giving up
the lawful and usual course of neu-
trail to sell arms and ammunition to
belligerents is based on the highest ma
tional interest. We are a country
which is never fully prepared for war
We must have the means of preparing
as rapidly as possible after war is i'm
minent and inevitable. We would be
most foolish to adopt a policy of re-
fusing to sell arms and ammunition to
belligerent powers which if it was pur-
sued against us when we were driven
into war would leave US helpless.
More than this. if We were to place
an embargo on the sale OF arms and
ammunition to belligerents, we would
discourage the industry in this coun-
try and reduce substantially our pos
sible domestic means of preparing Tor
future wars.
Finally, the general adoption of a
course by neutrals not to sell arms to
the belligerents in a war would great
ly stimulate the tendency to increase
ornaments in time of peace to be
ready for war. Such a stimulus to
greater ornaments we all should de-
plore, because of their burden upon the
peoples of the countries affected and
because of the temptation to war in
volved in their maintenance.

This 1S3d anniversary of Washing
tons birth, in view of the present criti-
cal condition in our international rela-
tions, should bring to our minds the
third great achievement of his presi-
Dental term. the maintenance of a
policy of neutrality through general
European war. He insisted upon 1t as
necessary before he became President ;
he maintained it throughout his Off
cial life as President against mighty
odds and under conditions that tried
his soul. and in his farewell address he
restated and reinforced 1t as legacy
to the American people.
April 2. 1898. he issued proclama-
tion of neutrality. 1t must be realized,
too, that this proclamation OF neutral
ity was very difficult to reconcile with
the engagements of the United States
in the treaty of France made during
the revolutionary war, and 1t was pos
sible only to escape them on the plea
that they were not binding on the
United States in the case OF an Of
fensive war such as France was Wag-
ing against England. Finally, after
his course of neutrality had been VIM
dicated and he came to lay his once
down, he appealed to the American
people not to depart from 1t.
ut seems to me that this appeal IS a
good text from which to preach ser
mon and draw lesson on this wash
ingtons birthday. Most OF the great
powers of Europe are again at war.

When Criticism Is Justified.

Il am far from saying that an un-
wise or an unpatriotic course in our
foreign relations may not justify criti-
cism of any administration and may
not REQUIRE its condemnation at the
appropriate election. but in such case
the reason must be found in injury to
tba interests of the United States and
not in the merits of the issues being
fought out by European nations In a
European arena
LEGISLATION is pressed to forbid the

the beIligerents in the matter of fur

ARMY Plan IS FOLLY,
MILLER TELLS HOUSE
Declares Modification of Carriages
Will Not Increase Efficiency
of Coast Guns.
Severely Criticises Proposal to Use a
Lighter Projectile at
Longer Range.

Representative Miller of Minnesota
charged yesterday, in the House, that
it Is folly to attempt to change the
range of 12-inch guns in coast de-
fenses by notifications of gun car
riages, as has been provided for in the
fortifications appropriation bill before
the House. He also declared that War
Department experiments had proved
conclusiveIy that some of the i'm
portant defenses of the Philippines can
be taken by land.
The project of modifying gun car
riages has received considerable at
tention recently, and has become a
matter Of general interest because OF
the repeated assertions that foreign
navies carry big guns Of longer range
than American coast guns have with
the present emplacements. Ihere1ore
the appropriation to change gun car
riages so as to point the guns little
higher with consequent greater
range. On this point said Representa-
tive Miller:
Defects Of Present Guns.
The present type of disappearing
gun carriage in use generally in our
coast defenses is not adapted and can
not be adapted to large guns OF long
range. They cannot be made to cover
what is known as all-around fire.
There is not gun, so far as l know,
mounted on our coast fortifications and
now ready for use of greater caliber
than twelve inches. Recently, when the
big guns of foreign navies were at
work, the people of our nation were
aroused over the fact that our coast
fertifications were not equipped with
guns the equal in caliber and range OF
guns that might be brought to bear
against them-guns that are In foreign
navies of the world. 1 have no doubt
that that idea was accentuated when
we read recently of the battle In
the North sea, where the British ship
Lion. as 1 recall, or Tiger--one or the
other-actually made effective hits at
a range of 1900 yards. while the max
imum range of our twelve-inch guns In
our coast fortifcations is only 14,000 yards
with a projectile such as they call their
heaviest or maximum size. From r.
900 to $4,000 yards was the reasonable
average maximum distance those guns
could be fired with effect.
Opposes Lighter Projectiles.

Other Reasons Cited.

Another criticism against the ad-
ministration comes not only from those
whose predictions are based on their
European origin, but also from native
Americans. who are aroused by whas
they conceive to be the possible evil
world consequences of this war and the
merits of its issues. They complain Of
the administration because it did not
protest against every violation of in
ternational law committed by one set
of belligerents against the others. This
view was made to depend at first upon
what was thought to be treaty obli-
cation on the part of the United States
to protests growing out of the pro-
visions of Hague treaties. to which
most Of the belligerents. together with
the United States. have been sigma
tory
Further examination, 1 think. show
ed that most of these treaties were by
their own terms imperative. because
they had not been signed by all of the
belligerents. While the people of the
United States might we'll maintain the
wisdom and Righteousness of such
provisions, or deplore their violation,
their government was not under any
treaty obligation to take part in the
controversy. to express an opinion or
to register a protest"
