A THOUSAND FOR SIX

The Italians report the capture o.
a mile of trenches ''at a cost of only
one thousand men and five hundred
prisoners"
A thousand human beings dumped
into unknown graves and five hundred
more driven off to the prison camps
all for strip of soil a mile long and
few yards wide Such is the value
laid on human life by the warning ma
tions.
Yet when half a dozen Americans,
members of the crew of the torpe-
doed Marina, lose their lives there is
an immediate demand that the United
States take drastic action which NAV
result in war. Many overly patriotic
citizens demand that the nation re-
sponsible for the death of these Amer
leans be punished, that thousands of
men be sent to their death on the bat
tlefield to avenge the loss of six.
The American members of the Ma
rina's crew voluntarily enlisted for
service on the British merchantmen.
Ihey chose perilous occupation at
their own risk and suffered the con-
sequences. They cannot be compared
with the victims of the Lusitnaia dis
aster, for the latter were not in SER
vice under the British flag.
1t is inevitable that citizens of the
United States should become entan-
gied in the European war and suffer
disaster. The loss of several Amer
leans on British steamer is not suf-
hcient canse for break between the
united States and a European power
break which may result in the loss
OF countless American lives.

SpOrtsmanship In Hunting.

Editor the Missourian: After all. is
there anything worth while in this
prevalent idea of "sportsmanship" in
hunting?
Everyone has heard of, or knows,
the hunter who does not use an auto
matte repeating gun, who deplores
pot-shots,' who will not draw down
on quail or ducks unless on the wing
and who objects alike to all violations
and violators of these. his sacred die
tums.
yet this same nimrod will hunt day
after day laden with all manner of ac-
couterments and appliances. He will
toll tirelessly from early dawn until
after dark seeking to fill his game
pouches with the limit" He has at
home cases of shells of wide assort-
ment, carefully calculated to do for
every manner Of game. He has a long
barreled duck gun and a 2O-gauge
squirrel gun. He has-or knows
where he can borrow-bird dogs and
coon hounds. He will gleefully
shiver all night in blind in the reeds
with his decoys set to lure the migrant
waterfowl
The point is this: Once having set
tied. for the sake of ones peace of
mind, the ethics of the mere fact of
hunting. why make any further dis
tinction? Is it any more pleasant to
the game to be shot while in motion
than at rest? II we were a bird and |
were to be shot, we would much pre-
fer the act to be done while our back
was turned and our mind engaged
elsewhere rather than after we had
been alarmed and were well on the
road to safety. From a humanitarian
it may be added that the

AFTER 80 YEARS-WHAT2

IF you die before you are IS year.
old, you come to an untimely end,
cites Earl Barnes of New York an
exponent of longevity. Thirty-five pei
cent of the worlds greatest work has
been done in the age decade between
so and 20 years; q per cent, between
20 and 80; 6 per cent, after 80, he
says.
The cry has always been, "If you
don't make a success before you are
fifty, your life will be failure" But
the present day man does not believe
that. The old fashioned idea was that
the young man always took the old
mans place, leaving him without foot
ing. That idea is also vanishing in
the present day.
1t is reasonable that a man should
make his success in life after he is
so years old. He has had the expe-I
rience of years, and If he has lived a
clean life he is physically fit. His
experience fits him to accomplish
something. The only thing is that
men who do one thing continuously
without broadening their horizon be-
come old at 40. 1t is the well-round-
ed, well-balanced old man who is
ready for service. He has had time
for everything.
One notable example in the Mid
die West of what an old-young man
can really do is that of the life of the
late William R. Nelson of the Kan
sas City Star His start in life came
late, but his later years were filled
with vigorous thinking and endeavor.
1t was during his later years that he
made the Kansas City Star a great
newspaper and made Kansas City feel
the power of an editor and a news
paper with ideals.

Who Is To Blamef

Editor the Missourian: After max
ing an interested and interesting
study of the picture show situation,
find that the statement made in maya.
zines and newspapers and by the the
ater managers themselves is true
namely, that the manager cannot help
himself; that the pictures run on a
circuit, and the manager, having con-
tracted for pictures on that circuit,
must use what arrives each day-he
has no choice. find, however, that,
as usual, the remedy is in the hands of
the public.
The theater manager is the retail
merchant. Now, if the grocer or the
shoe dealer or the dry goods man
sends us inferior goods we waste no
time in telling him we will have no
more of such stuff, and if he should
persist in accepting such goods from
the wholesale house and in offering
them to his customers he would soon
find his patrons limited to a few ig-
norant persons. willing to buy because
they know no better or because the
articles are cheap.
But progressive, high principled
folks are not content with protecting
themselves, and so we have pure food
laws" which protect the ignorant as
well as the enlightened Now, are we
willing to go after something along
this line in the motion picture busi-
ness? Will the enlightened public
protest against the poisonous goods
being mixed with the better grade, and
demand that only wholesome exhibi-
tions be given in Columbia?
To show you how the wholesale man
keeps his finger on the pulse of the
public. l must tell you that in less
than a month after I wrote my first
letter to the film company in New
York, l received word from the educa-
tional department that such programs
as we desire could be obtained from
their manager in st. Louis-that he
had instructions to arrange his films
according to the plan sent out from
New York.
Some say, There are not enough |
good pictures to keep the shows run
ming every night" Then let us have
fewer and better ones. 1t is not a
vital matter that picture show run
every night, even at the risk of de-
moralizing community. Like the So
called popular" magazines, we would
be much better off without the most

NOT so BAD, AFTER ALL.

&An eminent author recently visited Sw Britain for the first time and pressed surprise at tho wonderful elay of the city. He had often Eard of New Britain but the accounts , re anything but glowing ones. His snd's eye had summoned a picture very miserable manufacturing SFn with myriad smokestacks hcturing the sky and belching forth hvy black clouds. The sun never Rmed upon New Britain, according this version. Men and women Elked the streets carrying umbrellas all sorts of weather, not to keep ] the rain and snow and mist, but ! ward against flying cinders. It

Railroad engineers have talk en advantage of these natural gaJ9- ways through the rocks, one of the most important railways being that which connects the RoumaniaE cap ital, Bucharest, with Budapest, via Temesvar.

The usual running time rom Budapest to Bucharest is twenty-one hours on this line and an hour longer by way of the Predeal Pass, the dis tance by the latter route being 561 miles. .4,. '+
