. PAST AND PRESENT.

s..
 Men who look back upon the won derful fighting done in our Civil Wal
 and who4 tell of the gallant charges at Gettysburg when the blue and tne gray locked in the last desperate pat tie, always speak of the great mum abers who took part in that engage ment. Old soldiers, veterans of the
 war of '61 imagined the Union army and the Army of the Potomac as the
 two largest forces ever assembled
 Compared to the armies now battling
 in Europe those two forces which
 clashed on American soil fifty years
 or so ago were mere pigmies. se
 Those who believe that the small army, augmented, in time of war by citizen soldiery, can do mighty bat tie, have not looked deeply into the situation abroad. Instead they have
 paid more attention to ancient his- tory. It was in the old days that the small army was in vogue and some mighty deeds have been written on the pages of history by small gather ings of men.
 We read that Alexander the Great conquered the Orient with but 35;0Ooi men at his disposal. The Egyptian army which invaded and subjugated Palestine numbered but 5000 men. Saul marched mere band of fS6 6O0 against the Philistines. These were small armies, but they accomplished some wonderful feats.
 In this day and generation an army the size of Alexander's would be lost in a single skirmish One platoon of machine guns would do the trick. Tn those days the men fought hand to hand Battering rams and rock hurting catapults were the order of things. Clubs, sticks and whatever the men could get their hands on went to make up the equipment of the army. The sword was the most formidable part of the arms.
 And, as a consequence of this brand of fighting, the casualties after a bat tie were nowhere in proportion to those of the present day. A severe beating over the head with good sized club is not one-half as condllc- I've to eternal sleep as whirring bull let from modern gun.
 The Bible, in giving description of the fights against Gideon waged by the Israelites, mentions the severe losses suffered. In one battle alone, according to this reliable authority, s5 men were killed. Compare that statement with the following figures compiled by the Providence Journal relating to modern warfare:
 The Journal is in receipt of state ment from an authoritative source, showing the casualties, killed, wound ed and prisoners, in the. armies of the Allies and of the Teutonic Alliance returns from the Turkish army not being available-fron the beginning of the war to the fifteenth of May, last, the. date of the latest official compilation.
 The authentic figures follow: 4

POTTER MURDERED.
coroner's Jury Believes Hs Was
Given Strvchnine by Someone.

Given Strychnine by Someone.
The coroner's jury in the case of the
death of William Potter rendered q
verdict Saturday that Potter came to
his death by strychnine poisoning, the
strychnipe being administered by hands
other than his own.
Potter was found dead 10 bed at his
home on 'Woodlawn avenue in this city
June 20. and coroner's jury was called
and an inquest held lasting many days
with mass of testimony. most of
which was gossip of neighbors, but
which convinced the jury that someone
wanted Potter out of the way and
poisoned him.
Charles Coleman, boarder who had
been intimate with Potters wife, was
arrested on q murder charge after he
had disappeared when subpoenaed to
testify. He later told straight story,
and few, if any, believe he had any.
thing to do with Potter's death.
A life insurance policy of $1,000 on
Potter's life has not been paid, and the
payment will probably be contested by
the company until the question of the
beneficiary, Mrs. Potter's, connection
with the death OF Potter is decided.
Coleman's examination was set for
Aug. 10, but the date has been changed
to Aug. 81 and Coleman may be dis
charged before time.
