IL was learned that the commerce raider had captured and sunk seven British vessels in inc main line of traffic between South Africa and Europe, in addition to seizinE the An pam, which had been almost given up for lost.

4,ooo,ooo SHELLS USED
 IN BATTLE AT VEROUN.
Nothing Like Such an Expenditure of
 Munitions Known Before.

Paris, March 5.-Trench artillery of ficers who took part in the battle of Nerdun estimated that during the first four days of the struggle the Germans discharged two million shells. most of them of heavy Calibre. The number of proiectilcs fired by the French probably was as great.
 Nothing like such an expenditure of munitions has been known before even in the Champagne attack. The whole theory of operations was to pulverize defenses at long range. drive out or kill defenders and then occupy the ground by massed rushes of infan- try. The principle of the defense was to search out heavy pieces of tEe ad- versary with equally heavy shells, withdraw from demolished first line works and then, when those deserted trench works were approached by at taclISg forces on the run, to catch them with multiplied enfilading artil- lery and machine gun fire. At times this fire was suddenly suspended and the attackers were engaged Tn hand to-hand clashes.

TO ALLEN STEVEN.-We do not

changed by the single tax. We do
not claim that the nature of men

But the equal freedom brought by
it will give the good in humanity a
standing ground where it will over

We claim that the fundamental
law of nature demands the taking of
land values for public purposes. 1t
also demands the exemption of labor
values from taxation. The natural
law is the moral law. Land values
are the result of the presence of the
people on the land and the necessity
of their using it. To prevent their
use of it is to condemn them to
death. To Obstruct their use of it is
to rob the Of a part Of their
wealth. This land value is a social
value and attaches to land iTTespec-

AGAINST MAJORITY RULE
Election being over perhaps The
Forum editor can find space for a re-
ply to L. Perry. Everybody seems
to believe in majority rule" just,
like Mr.. Perry does. Counting noses
is an orthodox method of deteTmin-
ing right and wrong. If 81 noses
drawI yes" and 40 no, the two extra
noses make the proposition right.
Once everybody, including the
slaves themselves, believed in slav-
cry. Now everybody believes in rule
by the majority. But rule, just like
slavery, is wrong. In fact, rule is
slavery. That is why it is wrong.
Rule is the control of the non
invasive individual ii. e., the fellow
who is minding his own business)
against his will Restraining the in
vader ii. e., the man who is violat-
ing his fellow MANI is protection, not
rule.
ALI rule is itself invasive. The ma
jority could not rule if the minority
did not submit. Compelling the own
ers of the 40 noses to submit to the
81 is the essence of majority rule.
If there was no cOmpUlsion there
would be no rule. You can't rule
volunteers, because they are merely
co-operators. Protection against
murder and robbery is not rule, be-
cause rule is itself organized rob-
berry. Majority rule takes our pro-
ducts by force, compulsory taxation.
It refuses equal freedom to all, be-
cause it assumes to represent all of
the people But the majority is not
all Of the people, not even 81 per cent
