Yesterday W. J. Burbank, county
treasurer, while opening his mail was
curious to learn the contents OF large
envelope addressed, apparently in a
disguised hand, as follows: Mr.. Bur
bank, county treasurer, Waterloo,
Iowa" Inside there were three $40
bills and two So bills. wrapped in com
mon wrapping paper. On the paper
was the direction: Please put this in
the county treasury" There was no
other mark about the conscious con-
tribution." The letter was not regis
tered and nothing was written in the
corner for return address. The letter
was postmarked Waterloo" and was
mailed Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Burbank ventures the explana-
ton that the unexpected contribution
is from a man who has been attend
ing the c. W. Williams revival meet
ings in Walnut street Baptist church
Action upon this theory, and hopeful
that conscience might trouble others
who have failed to list all their prop
erty for assessment, Mr.. Burbank
telephoned to DR.. / B. Smith. the
pastor. asking If it would be possible
to have Mr.. Williams continue his
meetings another week.
In times past conscious contribu-
tons have been received occasion
ally. but this Is the largest sum that
has been sent in many years by one
whose full amount of taxes did not get
on the assessors books.
There are two separate and dis
tinct taxing districts in Waterloo, and
the treasurer will be at sea to know
to which this $40 should be credited.
unless he divides the amount equally
between each.

his little boy on the ground and q
large hog ripping of his clothing in
the vicious thirst for flesh and blood,
and so determined was the hog that
it would not destst until felled by a
blow on the head with a heavy ham-
mer.
Being thrown with his face down
and wearing a stout overcoat, and the
arrival of assistance at the critical
time saved the little fellow from be-
ing torn to pieces and eaten alive by
the hogs. His collar bone was frac-
tured, he was painfully bruised over
the body and nearly frightened to
death as a result of the attack. He is
reported as doing reasonably well un-

.UNLEARN|NG RULES
 OF THE WAR GAME
Complete Revision Neces. sary in Directions Unex-
 pected by Experts

Berlin, March 25.-(Corresponden of the Associated Press )-The com plete revision of many methods of war fare, which even experts did not in the least anticipate. are discussed by Maj. E. Moraht, retired, in a recently pub Iished article entitled, s'The Length of Battles"
 No longer ago than 1912 Major Nor ant points out, General Von Bernhardi in "Time and Its Strategical and Trac- tical Importance,. declared that 'the battles of the future need not be long CT than those of other European wars and that "one-day battles will be the rule, longer ones the exception"
 General Von Bernhardis conclusions were based on studies of the Boer and Russo Japanese wars. among others, and yet. within three years of their publication, Major Moraht shows. the predictions of the general have proved to be wrong.
 We certainly will not defend our selves behind walls and in trenches '' wrote General Von Bernhardi, and yet
 we have been doing just that for more than six months,' says Major Moraht 'To all friends of the offensive-anG what soldier is not it's friend--it sure ly is painful that we no longer can believe In a war of movement and operation before we think of one of inaction.'
 ''We must unlearn part of what we had been taught ana we must cling tc the good old theories only in case it shall be proven that mistaken leader ship led us to adopt the method oi long, continued fighting in one posi- tion. The verdict is yet to come. It is
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-04-10

not the duty of the present to render it hut of the future"
 In declaring that the battles of the future would be only of days dura- ton General Von Bernhardi declared that the unusual physical characteris- ties of the battles In the Russo-Jap- anese war, taking place in difficult country and around fortified places, made it no criterion for future con- flicts. And yet, Major Moraht points out, trenches and the long drawn out battles have been the rule from the dunes of Flanders to the hills of the Champagne and the mountains in Car pathia.
 As differentiated from former wars Major Moraht declares huge losses have not necessarily led to decisive victories or defeats. Some new im- polling force" seems to have entered all the conflicting forces. The gen eral commenting on the methods of the Japanese in retreating when fire became too accurate and returning to the attack later, predicted the same in the next future war. Yet, says Major Moraht, the French have not lost nerve in the face of terrible losses; the Ger mans do not lack it in bloody offen- sire and defensive movements, and heavy sacrifices have not hindered the Russians nor stopped them from turning to the attack again and again.
