WAR BABIES AND WAR

The women here and in England who describe the "warbaby" agta-
ton as idle, hystercal, exaggerated and mischevous may err on the
side of indifference, but they at least are willing to look facts in the
face, says the New York World. Along with som admirable human
qualities, a develops a train of evils, and this is only one of them.
Tragic as is the battlefield, it is the best part of war. Even there
all is not heroic, as straggers from every fight fully attest To bring
great armies into conflict, however, there must be months in camp, and
there never a a great military camp that WI no more demoraizipg
than many a battle. What Britain see O is some of the evils of the
camp.
In the course of time it will witness other sorrowfuI proofs that
al lets loose every wicked passion that is known to men,. Grief for
the dead will soon be assuaged the manned will presently be objects OF
little interest, but the tens of thousands broken in health, victims of bad
habits and unsettled in their ideas of life and industry, will be visible
everywhere. In business, in politics, in government, in society and in
the church, a will leave marks OF corruption that may " be
oblferated.
Although fifty years have passed since the close of III civil strife,
We re still paying the price in many ways. We take pride in our
say that The a IA worth all that it cost, but that is not to admit that
those who brought the struggle upon Il we're not chargeabe with a
oHense against mankind that is wholly incalculable.
Soldiers who have seer service sometimes talk of battle, but rarely
of the camp, the march and The trench. The glamor of war, as Britain is
now finding out, rests not 81 much upon heroic armies in action as upon
nations stripped OF morals and stepped in excesses; upon peoples who
graft.

A LONG-NEGLECTED ASSET
MAY 13, 1915

The Carson Appeal draws attention to a neglected opportunity in
this part of Nevada to attract the tourist and heahhseeker. Says the
Appeal: In the two valleys that extend from Reno through Carson and
TAI INTO the boundaries of Douglas county, in all a distance of not more
than As miles, there re three series of mineral springs that should make
Western Nevada famous the world ver By nan these geysers are
known as Steamboat Springs the Carson Hot Springs and Valleys and
thousand ills"
A few miles west OF Reno, toe, is the hot spring known as Lawtons
at the base of Mount Rose.
Here we have a practically perfect climate that attracts the attention
of all visitors; we have clear, invigorating air., and we have the POSSIBLE
tiles of great hot springs resorts. With half these advantages, Coorago
Springs has twice o. r population; Arkansas Hot Springs, without any
of Renos commercial advantages and with nothing but its thermal
waters to serve as al inducement has about the same number OF people
and the European baths make a fortune every year IN the tourist trade.
ehted should bring these advantages to the notice of the public and
there is only ont way to do that-adverhse them in every possible way.
This is another matter that the reorganized Commercial Club could take
up with the certainty of producing resuls.-Reno Gazette.

LUSITANIA CONTROVERSY
 NOT SETTLED AS YET.

WASHINGTON:- series of con ferences between Secretary Lansing and Count von Bernstorff, the Ger man ambassador have failed thus far to bring the United States and Ger
 many near an early settlement of the issues which grew out of the sink ling of the Lusitania, with a loss of more than 100 American lives. It
 was said by persons in position to know that the points of view of the 1.-two Governments were widely differ ent.
 In German circles the belief is ex- pressed that a satisfactory agreement
 cannot be reached without arbitra- tion. Officials of the State Depart
 ment are more optimistic however, the opinion seeming to prevail that |Germany would come into the Amer ican way of viewing the situation. .l is asserted on auInori.y that no offer has been made to indemnify the families of Americans lost with the Lusitania. It has been reported that the German Government had of Ifered to pay an indemnity of $500O for each life lost, but 1t is asserted
 that neither this figure nor any other
 has been named in the conference.

LOCATED CABLE WITH
 A GLASS BOTTOM BOAT.

SAN FRANCISCO:-How the Ger man cruiser Nunburg visited the British cable station at Tanning is- land, in mid-Pacific, destroyed the cable buildings and cut the cable con- meeting Canada and Australia, and how it was later replaced in service is told by R. M. Fit, of London, who arrived here today from Planning is- land.
 After cutting the cable" said Fitt, "the Nurnburg lowed the sea end off, shore and dropped it in deep water. Hugh Gregg, one of the operators devised a glass bottomed boat, and after cruising around for days, To- cated the end of the cable. It lay in forty feet of shark-infested water, in- to which Gregg dived repeatedly until he succeeded in getting a line on the cable.
 After that it was easy. It was lowed into shallow water, hoisted on a barge, and with, single wire and improvised Instruments, communic- ation was re-established. Later the cable was respliced and put in good working order."

WOULD END THE WAR.

We hate to accuse Theodore Roose- welt of "stringing" London Daily Mail correspondent, but we are bound to believe that Sydney Brooks had a long talk with the Colonel at Saga more Hill, and certainly Brooks came away and contributed some startling things to his newspaper, of which one of the most startling is this:
 When the Lusitania was sunk and American intervention seemed inevi- table, it is fairly open secret that the ex-president made instant prepa- rations for raising a force of about 12,O00 men on the lines of his Rough Riders regiment. The generals, col onels, majors and some of the cap tains were actually selected and for his adJutant general MT. Roosevelt picked a man known to me as one of the ablest officers in the United States army. Every deta.. was cov- cred and the ex-president calculated that within three months after the declaration of war that he and his men would have been in Flanders. To forego that dream has been one of the bitterest disappointments of his life.''
 What would have happened when the Big Noises 12,000 Rough Riders began caracoling in front of Ger many's Big Berthas is perhaps easier to imagine than to describe. Per Aaps the Teutons would have evacu- ated Flanders when they heard that Roosevelt was coming. Respect for age and dignity is very common in Germany.-Brooklyn Eagle.

HOW ARABS LED BRITISH
 TROOPS INTO TRAP.

AMSTERDAM: British forces in Mesopotamia have been routed with heavy losses, just when Bagdad was within their grasp, through the treachery of Arab tribesmen, accord ing to advices. from Berlin today.
 Hordes of Arabs made their way mp the Tigris with the British, un- der General Townsend, almost to the gates of Bagdad. Professing intense hatred for the Turks, the Arabs led the British into trap.
 At the crucial moment in the bat tie near Ctesiphon the Arabs sud denly turned fiercely upon the Brit ish, according to dispatches received by the Berlin Zeitung, attacked both of Townsend's Hanks and slaughtered several hunderd troops before artil- lery forced them to flee to the Turk ish lines.
 An official dispatch from the Turk ish war office described the defeat of the British as a rout. The Turks have pursued the fleeing British nearly 100 miles down the Tigris to within a few miles of their base at Kut-El- Amara, and are continuing their at- tacks, it was stated. The belief pre- vails in Constantinople that the Brit ish will not make a second attempt to capture Bagdad.
 "The pursuit of the defeated Brit ish proceeds energetically," said the Turkish statement. "On Wednes- day the enemy attempted to make a stand, but lost several hundred pris- oners, including a major, captain, a lieutenant and one aviator.
 We captured two transport ships on the Tigris loaded with food; two monitors, two carrying ten cannon, and the other four cannon and ma chine guns and an immense amount of munitions supplies. One of these ships is now being used against the retreating enemy"
