THE BURDEN OF WAR.

It wasn't long after the war opened
that 1t was apparent that it was bound
to reveal some startling expense fig-
ures before it was concluded, and that
while the temporary burden seemed
tremendous the drain was bound to
be felt by several generations.
However much that may have SEEM
ed like anticipating the future it has
nevertheless been shown to be the
fact by Premier Asquith's recent ad-
dress in which he fixed the daily cost
to Great Britain at SIS, 600, 900, while
the debt caused by the war at the
present time has reached the stupen-
dous amount of 81, ZOO, 000, 900 for that
country alone, and that only shows
the expenditures by one of the dozen
or more nations involved
England has been forced not only
to take care Of its own part in the
war but it has been called upon to f.
nance the operations of other beIIiger-
ents to large extent. 1t is, however
in and there is nothing else to do but
meet the situation the same as some
of the others are doing, yet at the
same time it is impossible to cover
up the colossal burden which is being
piled up for others to meet 1t is
therefore high time that every effort
should be made to cut off the waste,
that every pressure should be brought
to bear to husband their resources, for
even though that country may be the
financial leader and can carry on the
war after its opponents are submerged,
it hasn't any billions which it can af-
ford to scatter around loosely with
out bringing results. 1t is sad
thought as to what the indebtedness
from the war is going to mean to the
people of those countries even after
peace has been signed

THE AUTO AND THE HORSE,

That there have been many changes
in the methods of doing business and
in seeking pleasure since the automo-
bile was placed within the reach of
a larger number of people cannot be
questioned. The horse has had mis-
burden Hghtened, though the number
may not be necessarily 1essened,
through the adaptability of the ma

That the horse is far from relegated
the pastures to expire from old
age is gained from the statement re-
Gently made by DR.. A. T. Gilyard, Sec
rotary of the state veterinary associa-
ton when he declares: "The auto has
displaced the coach horse and we have
lost that business. But all veterinar-
ians, in Connecticut, at least, can tes-
tify that the loss is slight and hardly
noticeable because the coach horse
was not a suitable subject. Veteri-
narians in New York and other big
cities, who depended mostly on the
coach horse, have had to go out of

ment offered by the senator from Ar
kansas is adopted, or any amendment
that gives the inhabitants of the
Philippines their independence within
the next four years, we may safely
conclude that the American lives that
have been sacrificed in the islands,
and the money that has been ex-
pended there, will go for nought; the
most interesting experiment in his
tory. the most laudable and honorable
in history, will fail. And what may
be much worse, if we quit now the

FALL OF ERZERUM.

That Russia is elated over the sue
cess of its forces in the Caucasus re-
gion now that the fortress of Erzerum
has fallen into their hands and the
Turks have been driven in disorder
out of that region so that Russia
holds the key to Armenia, is only to
be expected. This fortified city was
considered impregnable because of the
new defenses which had been erected
about it on modern plans but Russia
has given ample demonstration of the
fact that it's strength and fighting
ability have been greatly underesti-
mated
Material assistance has been given
to this campaign by the fact that the
car has gained practically full con-
troll in the Black sea after an equally
important struggle on the part of the
naval forces. Russia thus demon
strates that it has recovered from the
Decentralization which resulted in the
Teutonfc forces pushing into the do
main OF the car, that it possesses the
equipment in artillery and ammuni-
ton for overcoming its previous hand
leaps and that this latest victory is
bound to have its influence upon other
operations which are being carried on
in Asfatic Turkey and Persia.
No little credit must be given to
Grand Duke Nicholas for the manner
in which he has directed the Russian
troops in this theatre Of the war, for
though he suffered the humiliation
OF being removed from command
when the German Austrian armies
were pushing through Galicia and Po-
land, he has now attained a signal
victory on another battle front as evil
dence OF the fact that he has lost none
OF his interest or cleverness when
given the material to work with. It
is bound to put more heart into the
Russian offensive in all directions.

THE WAR PRIMER
By National Geographic Society

SVeaborg-"After more than eighteen
months of naval war upon the Baltic
Sea between the fleets Germany and
Russia, the first successful shot has
yet to be fired against the mighty
fortress of Sveaborg which guards the
neck of the Gulf of Finland, and the
water approaches to the Russian cap
1tal,' begins a primer on war geog-
raphy just issued by the National
Geographic Society at Washington.
"Sveaborg, best known as the 'Gibral-
tar of the Baltic, powerfully secures
Its holders control to al the wide
basin of the Gulf of Finland, thus Civ
ing them a most important base for
disputfng the control of the northern
inland sea. 1t was the acquisition of
this stronghold that constituted the
strongest impelling force in Muscovite
land from the Swedes.
Across the neck Of the gulf from
SYeaborg, lies, Reveal, the seat of
other powerful shore defenses and of
important Russian naVy-yardS. These
two points block the way from the
Baltic against any naval power almost
as securely as the forts Kilid Bahr and
Chanak Kalessi blocked the English
ships at the Dardanelles. Reval is
situated on sharp bay at the north
eastern gulf shore of Estonia. Svea-
borg fortress stands just before Hell
slngfors, the capital of Finland.
There are hundreds of small, thick
ly-Wooded islands strewn over the
coastal waters around Helsingfors 1t
is upon group of seven such islands,
which are larger than their neighbors,
that the almost impregnable Sveaborg
fortress is built. Moreover, small re-
doubts and batteries are we'll conceal
ed in several Of the outlying islands,
which surround, like a thinly- flung
sklrmish line, the fortress near the
coast.
Many vain seaward attack has
shattered Sveaborg's defenses, in by
gone days; and, in recent years, Rus
STA has brought the strength of the
place up to Goth century requirements.
1t is said that more than 1000 guns
are mounted here; and several thous-
and soldiers are quartered in the fort
ress even in times of peace. During
the Crimean War, the allies attacked
this point violently and without sue
cess. The story goes that English
guns alone hurled more than a thous-
and tons of shot and shell into the
fortress, almost without apparent eff
rect. 1t has fallen only once, and then
bribery is credited with victory and
not the force of arms. 1t surrendered
to the Russians without an effort at
defenseN surrendering at the same
time that its garrison of six thousand
men laid down their arms and turned
over their formidable defenses, the
