Indians To Stop Thefts

Panama, April 15--For several
months the L. S. s. Leonidas. which has

difficulties with the San Bias Indians.
Serious clashes have been avoided only
by the tact and patience Of the officers

One annoyance the officers have had
to contend with has been the removal
Of cloth markers that the surveyors

that Tor each marker stolen a certain

law went into effest last midnight, the
change being accomplished with prac-
tically no disorder. Revelers crowded
the streets Of the larger cities through
out the night in Halloween garb, and
others struggled in the saloons for the
last drink" but few arrests were made.
The passing of legalized liquor was
variously celebrated. Enthusiastic pro-
hibitiOn workers held services OF pray
er and jubilatiOn in the churches, bells
were chimed. and many attended Ella
borate watch parties" Clubs and no
tells held "Open house" and in some
cases liquor that remained was dis
pensed free Of cost.
Although the sale Of intOxica ting beV-
erages in the state is a thing of the
past, thousands of gallons have been
stored in private homes. In Richmond
alone dealers estimated that $4,000, 900
had been spent in stocking cellars.
The government reservation at old
Point Comfort went dry with the re-
mainder OF the state. Hotels closed

FELL FAR SHORT OF THE REALITY.

Early i'm the year 1894, Archibald
Forbes wrote a widely read article for
ScrIbner's Magazine in regard to the
next great European war. 1T was a COM
bined forecast and likewise a prophesy.
He said the largest army up to date
was that OF KoniggratZ and the Prus-
sian army did not amount to more than
10000 lighting men. But in 1894 the
German empire could put in the field
2.5OO, 600 soldiers. France 2,715,O00, Rus
STA 2,450. 900 and Austria 100000 men.
said he: When the next great war

batants will be i'm the field, the casual
ties will be 10000, and according to
that ratio $4,000 would be slain. $4,000

wounded - On the line of COM
municatiOn for the future reserve am
munition trains will precede military
ambulances All available vehicles of
every kind are to be brought up for the
transport of the wounded in order to
