Horses In Battle.

The return during battle of rider less horses to camp is an almost cer- tain sign of a rout that amounts ak most to annihilation. A horse may lose its trooper, but unless it is wound ed 1t will nearly always keep on with the rest.
 If the battle is lost and the army Is driven from the field ill confusion the ownerless horses will return to camp or remain on the field. often galloping about in military formation. but avoid ing the wounded.
 An army horse knows the trumpet call as well as its rider, and when a squad ron forms up to charge it will strain at the bit, anxious to be off. but it does not like waiting. doing nothing, especially if exposed to ire.
 Many attempts have been made to extend the Geneva convention to ami mals- The proposal has received sym pathy everywhere. but nothing definite has yet been done. though every sol dier does his best for his steed so far as in him lies.-Pearson's Weekly.

Crude Cannon.

During the insurrectionary war car ried on in Cuba against the rule of Spain the insurgents. being in need of artillery, constructed a cannon of wood. A piece of tree, five feet in length and one foot in diameter. was placed on trestles and bore burned in 1t by means of white hot iron pipes. This weapon was bound around with OK hides cut into long strips. It was fired over 100 times before it burst. the projectiles used being fragments of iron. stones and fire hardened clay balls
 Paper cannons have been used by the Chinese in warfare. The cannons were made of paper. hardened and tOughen- ed by means of litharge. wax. tallOw and white lead and fashioned in the shape of long tube. A steel core was then inserted. the exterior being bound with wire and rope and steel bands added for extra strength.

CORROBORATION
Of Interest to Stafford Springs znaz.sa Readers

-, - Readers.
 a s For months Stafford Springs citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, by residents of this locality.
 Would these prominent people re- commend a remedy that had not prov en reliable?
 Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal experience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement?
 The following statement should carry conviction to the mind of every Stafford Springs reader.
 Samuel Dikeman, West Main street. !, Willimantic, Conn. says: ."For over a year I suffered more or less from my kidneys and back. The complaint was always aggravated if I caught cold. I finally saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and got supply. They did me a great deal of Egood. I willingly confirm all I have ever said in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, and you may continue to publish my former statements ''

LORD K|TCHENER|S
ATTACKED BY PRESS
COMPETENCY OF WAR MINISTRY
cRITlcIsED-PAPERs BURNED
BY sUPPoRTERs.
BURDEN TOO BIG FOR ONE MAN
War Secretary Probably Will BE
Made Commander LIN. Chief Of Arm.
les in France-DaiIy Mail Cues
tions His Capacity.

London, May 24.-The British PEG
pie have been talking Of nothing bu
who should be members of the new
coalition cabinet. They were forgot
ten, however, in the controversy ovel
Lord Kitchener.
The Times and the Daily Mail have
attacked the competency Of the wal
ministry and the impeachment of the
Daily Mail was particularly fierce. Al
upheaval Of popular resentment
against these newspapers and theil
dominating spirit, Lord Northclinfe
quickly followed.
Support Lord Kitchener.
The stock exchange men held ar
excited meeting, formally burned
copies Of the Times and the Daily
Mail and adopted resolutions support
ing Lord Kitchener. Other meetings
Of protest are being planned and 9
large section of the press has come
to his support.
The Pail Mall Gazette says the at
tacks made on Kitchener have rem
dered him more powerful and popula,
than ever. The criticism of Lord
Kitchener appears to have had its first
inspiration in message last week
from the Times military expert al
British headquarters in France. The
expert asserted that the British of
fensive has been crippled by a lack
OF high explosive shells and called
for more shells.
When the proposed reorganization
OF the government was announced
several newspapers suggested in con
siderate terms that i'm attempting to
raise and organize great volunteer
armies and at the same time manage
the equipment and supplies thereof
the war minister had taken upon his
shoulders a heavier burden than anv
man could carry.
They proposed that organization
and supply should be made separate
departments, and opinion settled upon
David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the
exchequer, for the latter work.
Some Of the newspapers discussed
the possibility of Lord Kitchener be.
ing made commander-in.chief of the
armies in the field. The Daily Mail
however, attacked Lord Kitchener's
South African record as a fighting
general and questioned his capacity
to command an army in the Euronean
war.
