THE WAR IN EUROPE

A great many people at the begin
ming of the struggle predicted that
Xmas day would see the end and that
peace would reign again throughout
Europe. The ordinary man, as a
rule, had very vague conception of
the military power possessed by the
German Empire and in view of the
numerical strength of the Allies, felt
sure that the trouble could not en-
dure for any great period of time.
And as it has been said and time
in large measuss has justified the
Assertion that England is a nation of
peddlers, while Germany is a nation
of warriors. The end of the conflict
as viewed today by most people, will
cover a long period of time. At the
beginning Of the war we reasoned
after this manner: That with the
modern implements of destruction,
making it possible to do as much dam
age in battle today in one hour as
there was done in twelve hours in
the past under similar Circumstances.
Hence the modern methods of war
fare would make it feasible to ter
inmate the struggle within few
months, but with modern implements
of destruction came modern methods
of life preservation. So today we
learn that the great battles are not
fought in the open as they were in
ages past but practically speaking
are waged under ground, consequent
ly modern gun is really necessary
to reach the desired end. 1t has been
stated that since the present war be-
gan the armies have done enough ex-
cavation to have dug the Panama
Canal.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Little Rock Ark. 1915.
Editor Pennington Times.
Dear SIR
Enclosed herewith you will find one
dollar to pay my subscription for an
other year. AS / was born and bred
in that vicinity, it is very interesting
to me to look over the items of your
paper for have never forgotten the
many acquaintance in that section
of Missouri. The Legislature is in
session here at this time with their
regular gist of local bills. They have
passed some good bills and some bad
ones and among some of the good ones
was one for State Wide Prohibition.
So Arkansas has placed herself in the
Dry column. Little Rock and Argenta
and one or two other towns in the
state had already procured license
before the law was enacted and went
into effect, so they will continue to
run their saloons the rest of the year.
/ will close with best wishes for the
success of your paper.

permitted Gallaudet team, of this city,
to win with ease. the final count being

Best Course in South.
The course at Saks g. Co.'S store is
the largest south of New York and is
twenty by fifteen feet During the
three weeks since the course has been
available some of Washington's best
known golfers have visited the store
to try their hand and timber up their
muscles Among the new players who
have been attracted to the sport and
who have determined to master the
art of golf is Eddie Ainsmith, catcher
on the Washington baseball team. He
has been whacking away steadily at
the pill and declares that by spring he
will show EN- something.
Due to the fact that Saks and Co.
has installed two courts. it is possible
for one to be used for teaching the
rudiments of the game while the
other is being used for practice by the
veteran players. This last court is fixed
up so that it is possible for the player
to play the entire eighteen holes or
full game.
