FEARFUL
CARNAGE

According to dispatches from the
western war zone of Europe red cross
surgeons estimated last night that
so 900 wounded soldiers Of both ar
les are dying on the snow-clad ridges
and plains. Their comrades dare not
ATTEMPT their rescue. For mile around
the battlefield is covered with human
carrion, while hundreds of bodies,
carried down the streams which crisis
cross the Terrain, are being swept to
the Mouse and down the breast OF
that river.
History gives many sickening des-
criptions of the results of wars and
comnotions in past ages. The clog
eirg of rivers by human bodies is oc-
casionally mentioned. During the
French Revolution one writer tells US
the guillotine was kept incessantly at
work, so much so that it became neces-
gary to dispose of the bodies Of the
victims in some other manner than
decent sculpture; hence many were
cast into the river Seine. In short
time huge cells, one writer, an Eng
istnman, telling US they were Of the
proportions of boa constructors, were
attracted TO the Seine where they fed
upon human carcases al libitum
The chapter in the history of the
French Revolution will stand paral-
lei to that in the annals Of the past
few days in the western war zone
of Europe. Ecls may again feed upon
human carcases.

waves rolling and dashing into the

But his royal presence is not dimin-

thousands are being moved down by
the guns of the allies. There has, so
far. been no decided victory for the
Teutonic arms. and the outcome OF
the Kaiser's terrible smashes is still

TAXES AND DEATH.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch).

iDlCllNlOllu
German newspapers are not well
coming the new war taxes. just an
nounced by the government. The con-
sentative press dislikes them because
they interfere with the war profits Of
manufacturers and the incomes of
landowners, while the Socialists say
the load will fall heaviest on the al
ready overburdened shoulders Of the
poor. All newspaper opinion is in
clined to be critical, because the tax
es represent reputation of the gov
ernment's solemn announcement made
six months ago that there were to
De no war imposts.
According to that earlier announce
ment, the expenses of the great strug-
gle were to be financed by means CT
loans and made good, at the conclu-
sion Of peace, by gigantic indemnity
wrung from defeated enemy. The
indemnity no longer seems so GER
.a;n. while the depreciation of Ger
man currency and the heavy dis
count at which the war bonds are
sold are alarming German fnancicrs
and making new taxes imperative.
No wonder the Kaiser throws his
heroic veterans on the guns of YER
dun, in last desperate attempt to
BRING the conflict to an early and vic
torious close!
