TURNING A

k@ morning with the barest

~ That was the aftermath of
:VN the previous nights cele-
wv bration, memorabilia OF
which were scattered all
about the apartment in a
weirdly incongruous way. Rogers
coat was still brightly speckled with
red, yellow and blue confetti; there
was a battered tin horn protruding
from one pocket, and a particolored
fools cap made of tissue paper was
set rakishly askew on the bronze bust
of Beethoven on the piano.
In the hazily-recalled grotesquerie
of last nights homecoming, Roger had
denuded himself progressively, be-
ginning with his shoes at the door,
his hat and waistcoat beside the
dresser; trousers and linen at the
foot Of the bed and, last Of all, his
scarf tied in a beautifully neat bow
beneath the mob of the bedpost.
Roger sat up regarding all this
whimsically for some time and Won
dering duly how it is that morning
daylight always imparts such a bag
gard aspect to the rosy visions of the
night before. He yawned and
stretched prodigiously; then made a
bound for the washbowl and i'm
meTsed his head in gratefully cold and
refreshing water from the tap.
"Heigh-ho. New Years morning

not? I'll make a resolution and not
break it, either, I'm forty years old
today and as comfortable a bachelor
as any know. Hereby do solemnly
avow a placid life of celibacy. No

Roger dressed leisurely, not a little
pleased with the positive formulation
of the idea that really had been in
the back of his head for months past.
He liked and admired girls, of course
what real man doesn't? But It was
in detached, impersonal sort of way.

TWO AUTHORITIES ON THE
DURATION OF THE WAR

The opinions of Sir william
Crookes on the nature and duration
of the war, as given in an interview
in the London Daily Chronicle, are
almost identical with those of Gen.
Jogre, as made known by writer's
best placed to know the French COM
manders mind. In only one detail
do the military man and the SCENT
/ ist differ. Sir William believes it
will be a long war. Gen. Joffre has
! uttered no serious forecast on that
subject He is too busy with the
days work to have time for guesses
A Frenchman who has been asso
ciated with Gen. Joffre for some
weeks says that the general regards
the conflict as dividing into three
stages. The first eliminated in mid
September in what is known IL
France as the battle of the Marine
and the Germans beyond all man
ner of question lost. The second
now in deadlock, is still in progress
and will continue until the Germans
worn down by losses at the from
and exhaustion at home, will at las
give way and again lose. AS to tn
third and final stage, both Gel
Joffre and Sir William are agree
u that it will be comparatively shol
: and will result in collapse of ii
German arms.
In regard to the manner in viii
: the second phase of the struggle
: to be conducted to satisfaction
- conclusion, Gen. Joffre and Sir. WI
liam are again in accord. The
y agree that it will be a wearin
down process of continuous, deadl
. slow and sure work, free from dr.
y matte climaxes until the final gre;

Speaking of legal technicalities
likely to be invoked in behalf OF
Mendenhall on his trial for murder
the st. Petersburg Independent
quotes the lawyers as saving:
"lf the jury had been sworn and
the taking of evidence had begun
and flaw in the Indictment was
then found, there could be no other
trial, as the defendant would have
been placed in jeopardy
That is an amazing proposition
and is so fiagrantly absurd and I'M
just that we can't understand how
any lawyer who knows his trade can
seriously insist on it. Errors or de-
fects in the indictment have moth
ing to do with the merits of the
case The prosecuting officer can t
cure those defects, as the indictment
is purely the work of the grand jury
and it is held to be a crime hardly
less than high treason to insert even
the WORD dld omitted by mere
unintentional clerical error, after
the indictment has been filed in
court Such an omission has been
held fatal to the indictment and
renders the document worthless, but
it doesn't acquit the defendant, He
can be held, as he was in the first
instance by warrant issued on in
formation filed, until the grand jury
finds another indictment and he
can't plead former jeopardy because
he has never been in jeopardy. Any
other construction of the law makes
it farce, yes. infinitely worse than
a farce-a deliberate and infamous
perversion of the law in the interest
!. of criminals.

BRITISH LOSSES.

The fighting at the Dardanelles Is
not easily understood and no DOUBT
the official statements are intention
ally vague. All that the world
knows is Inat something over 2VV'-
600 English and French troops are
battering away at a series of defen-
ses which are manned by probably
300. 900 Turkish soldiers, officered
by Germans, and that the losses on
both sides have been very heavy.
Mr.. Asquith stated in Parliament
few days ago that the British
losses at the Dardanelles up to july
totalled 7,442 killed; 24,676 wound
ed and 6,537 missing. The french
losses at this point are supposed 10
have been little, if any, smaller.
Many wars of great importance IN
the history of the world have been
fought out with much less cost. Our
war with Spain in 1898 was, IN
some ways, an important war, put
the loss of life was comparatively
small. Only 1910 American soldiers
died from all causes during the
Spanish war, and of these only Soo
were killed on the battlefield, al
though as many more died OF
wounds suffered in battle.
Exclusive of the Dardanelles, the
British losses up to July /, as Off
cially stated by Mr.. Asquith, amount
to s5O,342 killed; 153,9S0 wounded
and 53,747 missing AS many men
have so far been killed in action in
the British army as in the Union
army during our Civil War, but the
total mortality is much less. Inc
best estimates are to the effect tha'
325O,OOO Union soldiers died from
all causes in our Civil War. Count
ing half of the missing as dead ant
allowing for deaths by disease, the
total loss of life in the British army
up to this time is probably close tt
100000. But the war, we are told
is just beginning Post

The penitentiary convict up in
Georgia who came so near killing
Leo Frank by springing on him in
an unexpected moment and cutting
his throat, will probably go into the
pantheon of heroes with that ele-
ment of the Georgia population that
has been thirsting for Franks blood
and tried to mob the governor be-
cause he committed his sentence.
The trifing circumstance that the
noble convict in this instance is a
professional murderer who has
killed three people and is doing a
life term for Strengthening the last
of the three, will be easily condoned
by the anti-Frank and anti-Slaton
people in view of his heroic ant
eath-defying effort to murder {
helpless sleeping man who had es
capped their own murderous atten
tions.
