a very largely attended meeting
last Sunday at Isle Liable, in AL
berle Delaune's dancing hall,
which was very enthusiastic and
showed that the Third Ward would
be carried by the Martin Eastin

of the opposition. Sheriff Martin

address, and brought back to the
fold many voters supposed to be
favoring the opposition.

BIG APPROPRIATIONS.

There is little room to complain about the advancement of the army end navy. Since the great prepared hess demonstrations that took place kil over the United States last year Tncle Sam is in a fair way of having bne of the greatest navies in the world before long. The army, too, will be brought up to a fair standing. That fbout this desired condition will be Eeen from the following figures. For The current fiscal year the army has Appropriations of s303,00O,0 ,0O0 and it's Appropriation next year will be $70,- 100000 more or 373,000,000. The &avy this fiscal year has appropria- Hons of s313, 100000 and next year Fi1I realize $379,ooO,Oo0. It will be 'een that the appropriations for both ranches of the service this year total 3616, 900, 1000, sum gigantic in itself 4 4ut not to be compared with the s752,- 10000 which both organizations will .eceive from the Federal Government he next fiscal year When 1t Is con- $dered that before the European war took less than half billion dollars

Washington, D. G., Dec Its a dull week in the chronicles of diplo- matic maneuvers when the birth of a new kingdom or the rebirth of an old one is not announced in the family of nations. The l1hedive of Egypt, a de- pendent of the Turkish sultan, was deposed early in the war and a sultan of the Nile country enthroned under the British protectorate; the Grand Shereef of Mecca recently solicited fe- licitations in the name of the infant Kingdom of Arabia; the Teutonic Allies only a few days ago announced the restoration of the ancient kingdom of Poland, much of the territory "ceded' being at the present time in Russian possession, and now comes the rehabilitation of the medieval realm of L1thunia, carved from prov inces which Germany has conquered and others which she desires to con- Quer from Russia.
 Concerning Lithunia, from which, according to cable advices. the Ger mans hope to recruit 15O,O0O citizens for service under Field Marshal von Hindenburg, the National Geographic society gives the following informa- tion in a war geography bulletin:
 "Wher the third and final dismem- bernent of Poland was accomplished in 1795 practically all of the me- dieval prlncipality of Lithunia, which had been amalgamated with the king dom of Poland nearly 300 years pre- viously, passed into the possession of Russia. It's area at that time was about equal to that of Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania com bined, and comprised the territory now embraced in the Russian gov ornments of Kovno, Grodno, Wilma, Minsk, Mohileff, Vitebsk, and Suwal Ri Much of this land Is now occu- pied by the German armies of the east front
 "Lithuaria is an uninviting region as a whole. It is a. succession Of fens and forests, ill-suited to agricultural pursuits of any sort but the 100000 Lithunanians and 100000 Let's who inhabit the land gain a livelihood chiefly by the culture of bees and the raising of cattle and horses. The Dnieper. the Niemen, the Pripet, the Bug. and the Duina are among the numerous rivers which flow through the country. and as there are few ele- vations, the courses of these water ways are usually extremely slusslsh and spread over wide areas 1or1nlhg extensive marshes.

I owing to the swamp nature of their homeland, were able to maintain their integrity as a people in spite of the fact that during the early middle l ages they suffered constantly from in vasions by their more powerful neigh bors. The Order of Teutonic Knights and the Livonian knights of the Or der of the Sword were especially vig- orous in their onslaughts upon the semi-savage tribes which adhered to their pagan worship long after most of Europe had accepted Christianity.
 "One of the legendary heroes of Lithuanias early struggles was Ryn- gold but the first definite historical facts concerning the country and its chiefs date from the time of Men- dowg, Ryngold's son. This chieftain was recognized by Pope Innocent " and ruled for twelve years from 1251, but the real founder of the king dom was the resourceful and states manlike Gedymin, (1318-134D who built the city of Wilma, which became his capital He entered into negotia- tions with Rome looking toward the Christianizing of his country and thereby gained a brief respite from the depredations of the Teutonfc Knights. When the time came for the Grand Princes baptism, however. 1t was found that the pagan faith exer- cised so strong a hold on the 1mag- ination of his people that the cere- mony was postponed. Gedymfn ex- tended the bound of his domains far to the south and east, at the expense of the Russians and in his reoogni- tion of the advantages of western civ tlization. as indicated by the welcome which he extended to immigrants he anticipated the far-sighted policies of Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great. "Gedymin had seven sons who aft CT a protracted period of rtvalry, acknowledged the supremacy of Ol- gierd, the most adroit of their num- ber Olgierd's heir Jagielio, founder of the Jagellon dynasty was one of the most potent factors in the ad- vancement of Lithuania's power. He introduced Christianity in 1887 and erected a cathedral in Wilma on the site of the ancient pagan temple. By his marriage to Jadviga Cor Hedwig) daughter of Louis the Great of Po- land, he eventually ascended the throne of that country under the title or Wfadislaw, but following his death the two countries had separate rulers for 100 years. The union of the two governments under one sov- erelgn in 1501 was securely cemented oy decree of tn Diet of IAbftn, six

tyight years later, and from that time the history of Lithuania was merged into that of Poland
 At the beginning of the fifteenth century the Jagellons held sway over vast domain extending to the south east as far as the sea of Azov (the northern boundary of the Crimea) and embracing Kiev and Haji-bev, (the modern Odessa).
 'In Napoleon's Russian campaign the Lithuanian capital of Wilma was made the center of strategy of the French lines, and after the disaster at Moscow the retreating emperor again visited the city, leaving it in disguise on the night of November 24, 1912.
 Unlike their Russian and Polish neighbors, the Lithuanians have blue eyes, light-colored hair and fair com- plexions."

History Without War.
(Waterbury American.


 A great historian has defined his tory as a record of the crimes and follies of mankind. Whether Gibbon would have placed war under the first , the second head or under both, he would undoubtedly have said that the greater part of the record of past ages must necessarily deal with wars, and doubtless he would have described as impracticable the repeated suggestion that wars be practically eliminated from the school histories of the United States. One of the reformers, the principal of a girls school, would omit all description of battles and even the | names of military commanders, mere ly giving the date and the issue of the conflict. He complains that even girls like to read about wars and that when he tells them to skip the battles in their school histories they answer: ''Why the wars are the most interest ing part of the whole book" Worse 1 still, many of the girls under his charge say they would like to become | Red Cross nurses "because of the ex- 1 cltement it would be- He thinks all this is very harmful and says that the sooner war is eliminated from the school histories, the sooner shall we l De able to educate the youth to ideas or peace, confidently predicting that
 If schools universally adopted peace hlStorles In one generation wars would be thing of the past" With out seriously discussing rainbow chasing proposition of this sort, it is l pertinent to remark that peace his tories for schools would be rather thin volumes and would contain little to interest boys and girls, the philo- sophy of causes and problems of statesmanshlp being beyond their mental grasp. Moreover, the fact can | not be ignored that the youthful appe- tlte for gore (through the medium of the printed page) is prodigious and demands at least a measure of satis- faction. A mother, looking for a tale | of adventure in a book store was onca | heard to declare with manifest pride that her boy wanted killing on every 1 page.' Omitting wars from school books would not eradicate the primor- dial human instinct responsible for the ! fascination of battle and would con- voy but a limited and incorrect view of past history. To point ont to inc i young reader in convincing manner ! that most wars are avoidable and l therefore criminal would "ed1cate to l ideas of peace' much more effectively than to attempt to conceal the facts It might be well, however, for the writers of school histories to touch | lightly upon the horrors of war, leay- ing the feeding of the appetite for killing on every page" to the inju- dicious parents.

Winter Walking.
(The Cleveland Leader)

(The Cleveland Leader).
 Winter weather diminishes greatly the time spent in the open air by those who ride in automobiles. It comes near putting bicycles out of use. From steamboats to canoes, there Is almost entire cessation of wa ter outings.
 All of which means that more walk instead of less ought to be done in cold weather There is no other way of moving about in the open air which keeps a healthy human beings feet so warm and brings such a glow of warmth from the body itself. If the pedestrian is properly clad, es- peciaIly in respect to keeping dryshod all of the effects of winter walking should be beneficial.
 With a little care and discretion such exercise can be made as agree able as 1t Is wholesome. Usually. there is no dust. Often the temper ature Is neither too low for comfort nor too high for vigorous exercise without weariness or lassitude.
 Rightly timed and kept within bounds, winter walking is a good pre- caution against the i'll effects of seden- tary life and too much indoor air.
