Verdun
columns.

Verdun. where the Germans have
been attacking the French for days and
days, has long and interesting history
1t is built upon one of the strategic
points of the earth and fighting there
goes back to Roman times. Whether
Roman or German. Verdun stands.9
Caesar destroyed the place when be
conquered Gaul. Then came the bar
bariansl later, and they, too, reduced il

magne swas divided into three parts,
the city was the scene of the parleyine
and then it remained in German handl
until theEreformation After a bonn
bardment in 1892 the city opened its
gates to the Prussians and because
some of the young girls Of the place
offered flowers to the king of Prussia
they were killed by the French. Again
in 1871 1.-The Prussian forces took the
city and now they are hammering away
again at the gates.
Today the most sangunary battle of
the war is being fought on the heights,
slopes and plains about Verdun. Why?
1t is the strongest fortress on the
French frontier Why should the Ger
man army beat its life out there? Is it
political? Generel Joffre says the war
will end after the expenditure of a mill
lion lives on French soil: Is he pro-
phet? 1t is said the finances of Ger
many are low, that food is getting
scarce and that business is almost at a
standstill. Is the attack to boost loan
and give new life to the German cause?
If Verdun should fall it would not end
the war. Then why Verdun?
But one or two forts have been des-
troyed and there are now seventeen
more to be taken. If taken the cost
will be terrible Will it be worth the
cost? Paris is many miles away and to
an onlooker the attack on Verdun ie
like the assault of the English nd
French on the rugged hills at the Dard-
anelles.

Worse Than Wasted

At the present time the United
States is shipping war munitions to the
allies at the rate of about 81, 900, 600
worth daily and the figures are swelling.
Up to few days ago the total, as
computedsin Washington, was close to a
quarter of billion dollars. Much of
this value is total loss, except that it
tends to bring the war to conclusion.
A high explosive shell goes to the field
with brass head, this is removed
thrown away and percussion cap
screwed in. There 10 copper ring as
q part of the shell when the fuse is
fitted and when the shell explodes the
metal is scattered every where. Much
copper. is used in the making of all kinds
of munitions and large per cent of this
is lost. The trench furrowed fields Of
the old world will make rich picking for
the old metal man after the guns
have been silenced, but most of the
wealth will be lost worse than lost.

PeferR ich0rd'S article

In another column will Ebe found an
article of religious nature by Peter
Richards of Lodi. Evidently he is firm
in his conviction and is to be .congratu-
lated ON stoutly believing what he be-
heves. On this earth there are hun
dreds perhaps thousands of different
beliefs and there are persons in all of
them who are just as certain as Mr.
Richards. You could not pry the Kan
sas editor away from what he thinks,
nor others, just as firm, SO there is little
use of arguing the question of 1.-The
Acts of God" All know that the pes
thence of smallpox, cholera, and othe r
diseases have been minimized through
sanitation, all know that not so many
hands are lost in the railway service as
the result of an improved coupling; all
know that ire loss has been reouceu
by erecting better, buildings and all
know that the span of life is increasin
as result of better conditions. Whether
or not these are the result of the ''Acts
of God" does not alter the fact. Cen
turtles ago wave of the plague or
other pestilence was attributed to su.
pernational interference but ideas hav e
changed with the passing years. Per-
haps Mr.. Richards is right, perhaps the
Kansas editor. The reader can tax G
his choice. IAN EXTENDED discussion
would be out OF place in these
columns.

of the Federal Reserve board, the total
amount of gold in this country is 81, 312,

S42O, 600, 900. This is more than one
fourth of the entire supply of gold in
