EARTHQUAKES AND WAR.

In speaking Of pestilences. earth

tnlnes that can happen to country.
the present great war in Europe
Malch surpasses In most respects any
talng that ever happened before in
tnat line. seemed indeed dreadful
enough to appal the stoutest heart.
but what Of Italy's earthquake?
The latest estimate of the loss of
life In last weeks earthquake ia
more than $4,000 lives, and it hap
pened In the short space of less than
q half-minute Of time. Even the
present great war has no such
record OF deaths as that.
We are shocked at the death and
suffering of many innocent women
and children in the war, but the loss
from the earthquake made no dis
tinction between men and women and
children anywhere. All alike were
victims, and not by human hands but
by the elements of nature.
VI the two great disasters that
have come upon Europe war, after
all, seems the less to be dreaded. In
war, there is usually at least some
warning that death may be at hand,
and thus lessen, to some extent, the
shock of its occurance. But in the
case of this earthquake there seems
not to have been even an instant's
notice given to a single victim. Sud-
den death even to one person is al
ways a shock to the friends and
community. but in the case of this
earthquake not one of the fifty
thousand persons who were its vic
Tins had even a moments Fremont
ton of what was about to happen.
There may have been more lives
snapped out in former earthquakes
than in this one. but none ever oc-
Cured more suddenly. 1t came like
flash of lightning from clear sky,
and in a single breath of time all
was over. And what horror and
agony followed! Pinned beneath
the debris of falling buildings on
every side were the dead and injur-
ed, some to die a slow death from
suffocation, cold and wounds, and
others who died without knowing
what had happened to them.
War truly is horrible, but an
earthquake is something appalling.
Italy SO far has been spared the hor-
rors of the European war. but some
thing more dreadful has befallen it.

or! hire, my son.: Anthony Kanue, rs a
submarine of the navy. He has, run
away from home and !, / think he has
gone to Pittsburgh to enlist. He is
only II years old, in proof Of which I
I am only 80 myself. If he comes
there whale him within an inch of his life
and send him back to me. s
s:.. " His father,
Morris Kanue.
Sergeant Michael DeBoo, in charge
OF the Pittsburgh recruiting Office of the
United States Marine Corps, has as
sured the anxious parent that. the boy
will not be enlisted should he apply
but that whaling" him is out of the
question, and the father should paddle
his own Kanue." -Mankato Ledger.
