The Summer of 1916

Some of our contemporaries
are specializing over the posi-
bility that the year 1916 will
be summerless. The year 1916.
the year after the disastrous end
of the Napoleonic wars, had
scarcely enough summer to be
worth mentioning and the theory
seems to be that the terrific
commandments on European bat
tlefields are bound to have a
similar effect upon weather con-
ditions next year.
June of 1916, we are told, was
a month of frost and ice. New
England, Ohio and Pennsylvania
were covered with snow. June
IL there was a great snowstorm
and focks of sheep were over
whelmed and suffocated. The
ice was an inch thick on the
Fourth of July and August 80
witnessed a heavy fall Of snow.
Not until September were normal
climatic conditions restored.
The notion is that history will
repeat itself after the passage OF
a century. and the alarming
thought in this connection is that
if the amount of explosives used
in the N~apoleonic wars caused
all that arrangement of meteor
illogical conditions the amount
used in the present war is likely
to keep the temperature at 40
below zero, at least, all next
summer. 1t surely is time for
universal disarmament. Ohio
