The second year of the world war
closes with the Battle OF Europe a
concerted effort of the allies op three
fronts to crush the central powers,
which has developed into titanic
struggle before which spperlatlves,
already exhausted, are completely
beggared.
France and Great britain In the
west. Russia in the east, Italy In the
south. are hurting wave after wave OF
armed men on the Teutonic lines, .toz
gether with an avalanche OF shells
and bombs such es the world ihas not
known up TO the present time. For
the first time the Teutons are, tenn
porarily at least. on the defensive on
the thousands OF miles OF the existing
battle fronts, 100 .N ..4
The change ia the situation which
the year has brought Ia striking, al
though the results 20 far have been
moro potential and spectacular than
radical. A year ago the Germans,
conunuing their great drive against
the Russians. hurled the Slavs back
along the entire eastern front, cnp-
tured Warsaw. the great fortresses of
Kovno. Noyo Georgievsk and Brest-
Litovsk, and established lines far in
side Russian territory, which they
maintained virtually unbroken until
within the last three months. They
seized all Poland, great slice OF Rus
sia to the south OF that country, and
expelled the invaders from Galicia
and Bukowina. Field Marshals Won
Hindenburg and Won Mackensen were
the heroes OF these great successes.
on the western front the changes
in position during the year were COM
paratiyely small. but the i2 months
were marked by three events OF in
terest; The battles OF Champagne
and verdun and the opening OF the
great Franoo-Britlsh offensive on the

Review of the Main EUents of the
the European War

on September 25, after a weeks ter
rifle bombardment of the German
lines by the French, British and Bel
gians. In a week of the bloodiest
fighting that had been known up TO
that time the allies announced that
they had taken 20 miles of trenches,
six towns and $4,000 prisoners.
But there they halted They could
not break through the mighty Ger
man wall, and the grim deadlock
which marked the western front for
soamany months was resumed. The
battle OF Champagne marked the re-
moval OF Sir John French, the British
commander In chief from the begin
ming OF the war up to that time. In
December. 1915, II was announced
that he had resigned to take home
com Haud, and Sir Douglas Haig was
appointed Ills successor.
in sheer human interest the battle
Of Nvetdun probably surpassed all
other Individual events OF the war
ony February 23 the German crown
prince began his assault OF the HIS
toric French fortress, known through
out many centuries as the gateway TO
France, For five months the defen-
ders withstood n storm at the fury OF
which the world stood aghast. Foot
by foot. almost inch by inch. the Ger
mans forged forward, with a reckless
disregard OF their lives, a tenacity and
cool courage which was only edualed
by the heroic determination OF the
French.
on June 3 an unofficial estimate OF
the German losses at Verdun placed
the total at the appalling figure OF
100000. The assailants fought their
way to within about three and half
miles OF the fortress. but for several
weeks have reported no further prog
ress. and the force of their attacks
appears 10 have lessened.

his activity in this respect the recall
of Or. Constantin Dumba. Austrian
ambassador, was requested by Presi-
dent Wilson in September. The fol-
lowing December. for similar reasons
the president requested the recall of
Captain Boy-Ed and Captain Won
Papen, naval and military attaches
respectively TO the German embassy.
A number OF convictions were obtain
ed in the criminal courts in other
cases and the propaganda ceased.
Apart from events in the actual
war theaters the most striking event
of the year in connection with the
conflict was an uprising in Ireland
In April The outbreak was organiz-
ed by a society known as the Sim
Feln. committed to the principle OF an
independent Ireland. Bloody fight
ing took place In Dublin In which
hundreds OF lives we're lost and the
heart of the business section destroy

lars. The fighting was sporadic else
where IN the islands and OF minor Inn
portance. The revolt was finally
crushed 0nd the ringleaders executed.
Il led, however, TO an agitation which
resulted in the government prepar-
ing n temporary home rule bill which
II expects to pass through parliament
this fall
Just before the outbreak OF the re-
bellion Sir Roger Easement. formerly
in the British consular service. was
arrested on the west coast OF Ireland
where he had attempted 10 land
cargo OF arms sent from Germany.
He was tried later for high treason
and sentenced TO death.
No definite figures can he given
OF the cost OF the great war In blood
and gold hut the most reliable esti-
mates present figures so vast that
they become practically meaningless.
In March. 1915. the United States
general army staff estimated that the
total losses In men TO all the belliger-
ents since the war began were 49,
033.OOO, As all the belligerents
have ceased issuing casualty lists for
public consumption the exact figures
for any country are unavailable.
As TO the money question figures
are more reliable but still vague.
They present sums which are so be-
yond anything previously known TO
international finance. so impossible
OF any human comparison that they
become little more than a tumble OF
figures. In March Dr. Karl Heller
rich. secretary OF the imperial treas
ury of Germany. estimated that the
war was costing all the combatants
1915 ,OO0,000 week or eleven and a
half billion dollars a year william
Michaelis, another German financial
expert, put the yearly cost at the vast
er sum of fifteen billions, and other
financial authorities gave even high
er figures.
On July n Reginald MeKenna, the
British chancellor of the eXchequor,
stated in the house Of commons that
the expenditures for Great Britain
alone we're $4,000. 900 daily He did
not say, however, how much OF this

Rapid Drying Paint.

A paint called Lory paint, is made
in France by Lorilleux Gle, Paris,
which is claimed to dry very rapidly.
AS many as three coats can be given
in one day. Tests were recently
made on the paint and the results re-
ported to the Societe d'Encourage-
ment in Paris. The paint is sold in
cans, already prepared. In one test
made with the paint at first coat of
three quarts was put on walls at 9
o'clock, followed by second coat Of
three quarts at IL o'clock. The first
coat did not roll under the brush
when applying the second coat. A
third coat of one quart was given at
2 o'clock. In regard to the lasting
qualities, in one case walls coated
with the paint show no sign of de-
terioration after five years. The
price of the paint would be a little
higher in normal times than ordinary
zinc paint, but it's advantages in
quick drying is desirable. The ef-
feet is obtained by the use of linoxine
or solid linseed oil, dissolved in amyl
alcohol and mixed with turpentine.-

Sunday was on the Trenton train
one day when a man near him began
to drink out of a bottle. Noisy at
first, the man after three or four
drinks became quite unbearable. The
revivalist launched at him an elo-
quent sermon on temperance.
At the sermons end the drinker
looked at Sunday steadily, and said:
"I'd like to give you good punch
in the nose.'

swered, "charity begins at home.

PRAYERS FOR THE DEAD.
Japanese Supplications for ''Souls
Slain in Battle.''

Unusual preparations were made
one morning in Shussanji, or the Co
ing-out-of- Mountain Temple,
quaint little place Of worship hidden
away in labyrinth of crooked
streets in poor quarter of Tokyo
preparations for celebration on the
Sumida river to pray for the repose
of the souls of all those slain in bat
tie, regardless of nationality, and to
scatter scraps of paper bearing the
image of Jizo Sama over the waves,
one for each departed spirit.
The chief priest, an aged man,
with his assistants and the support
ers of the temple, had been busy for
days in advance and all was ready.
The red and gold altar of Shussanji
was he hped up with offerings of rice
and frdit, and plain wooden tablet
had been placed there bearing the
words:
''To console all those souls who
have passed into the beyond because
of war"
The old priest, his bald head
shining, clad in his coarse cotton robe
of gray, oficiated before the altar,
and when the last prayers were ut
tered the people formed a procession
to the Sumida river, short distance
away.
Near bridge an unusual craft was
waiting, a deep cargo junk rooted
over with canvas bearing bold black
Buddhist symbols.
Quickly the parisnioners embarked
and squatted down upon the cushions
spread over the bottom of the boat,
and the priest, the central figure in
the religious ceremony, as gray and
faded as the robes he wore, took up
his position in front of the altar. A
piece of soiled embroidery did duty
for an altar cloth, and there was set
up a tarnished stature of Jizo Sama.
The priest placed some sweet scent
ed squares of incense upon the Goals
in small brass brazier, and as the
clouds rose into the air the boatman
with his long bamboo pole pushed
off from the shore, the holy mans
voice was heard chanting-all the
worshipers, old women and young,
men and children, murmuring in un-
dertone, "Name Amida Butsu!"
Out upon the Sumida river the
ceremony of scattering the papers
was begun. Old and young with their
hands full leaned over the sides of
the junk throwing away the sacred
papers with the efigy of Jizo Sama
stamped thereon-each meant for
the solace of the soul of some soldier
slain in battle.-London Times.

VACCINE SAVES
 40 FINE HOGS

Timely administration of anti cholera vaccine yesterday doubtless saved one of the finest herds of hogs in the county from destruction, ac- cording to County Agent J. L. Phil lips. Mr. Phillips was called to vac cinate the herd of H. Robinson, the Wooster merchant, who has about 40 pedigreed Poland China hogs, some of which are valued at nearly S1OO. MT. Robinson did not think the hogs had cholera, but the disease was re- ported in that section of the county. On examination, however, MT. Phil lips found that the hogs were al- ready infected, some of them show ing marked symptoms of cholera in it's early stages and having high temperatures. The county agent says the hogs are now out of dan- ger and will hereafter be immune from cholera, whereas the entire valuable herd might have been lost if the vaccine had not been prompt ly administered. While at Wooster MT. Phillips supplied several of the farmers with vaccine and instru- ments and gave them instructions as to it's use.
