How They Shoot In China.

Details of the battle In Picking be-
tween Chang Hsun's ill-starred forces

exciting than dangerous. remarks the
Salt Lake neutrality-suspicious..
The dictator was surrounded by
about 1000 Of his followers when he
sought refuge in the Forbidden City,
and the attacking party numbered at
least five times as many.
Chinese soldiers have never been
noted for expert skill in handling fire
arms, US substantiated by the anthem
tic report that considering the enor-
nous quantity Of ammunition used and
the number of troops engaged" the
casualties were remarkably small, only
ten killed and thirty wounded among
combatants and three times the num-
Der of killed and wounded among SIN

For obvious reasons Uncle Sam was
simply giving the Chinese sound aud
friendly advice when he told them to
keep out of the way and harmonic

"Lost Nothing. -

"Germany has lost nothing" said the
Kaiser, in one of his recent pronuncia.
mentos intended to cheer the weary and
disheartened German people.
Well, The Associated Press has just
issued q carefully compiled review OF
German military strength throughout
the war, showing that Germany has lost
altogether, in killed, permanently dis.
abled and prisoners, 1900, 900 men. And
besides, there are 100000 wounded now
in the hospitals.
Four and one-half millions OF Ger.

part of the losses. For Germany has

men, value more than life-her reputa.

Where is the old "Deutsche Treu,"

the old German kindiiness? Swept away
in Q deluge of frightfulness. Where Ia
the old German chivalry9 Annihilated
BY a conscienceless militarism that al.

of It.
"Germany has lost nothing" says the
Kaiser. But though Germany were able
today to dictate q victorious peace, she
has lost everything.

MIsf;.s In College Glasses.

In every large college there are stu
dents who ought not to be there
Usually they are sent by parents who
think the social status Of the family
demands college graduates. Most par
ents who Gun afford 1t send their chill.
dren to college. Many Of them do not
go through to the end, because they
are incapable of completing the work
and 1t could have been foreseen that
they would fail.
Many persons overestimate the so.
cial and intellectual value Of college
education. This notion leads parents
to insist upon putting through a liter.
airy college boys and girls who ought
to be training for usefulness in farm,
store or shop.
When one whom nature intended to
be out in the open using his muscles
mainly, or at least doing practical
work, is put through literary course,
he is quite likely to be misft not
only in college, but also out in the
world thereafter.
A college course Is not an unmixed
blessing for every one who is pushed
through it.-Mother's Magazine.

The Boon Of q Short Memory.

A Canadian corporal writes that the
condition of the roads" often appears
perfect pandeinonium until one gets
used to It. One of tn, strains that
counts in this war is on coming out Of
the trenches to 60 to rest billet. Up
In the line man is keyed up to stand
bombardment, and there is fierce
joy In getting to close quarters with
bayonet. But when the relief Is over,
and the regiment is on its way for
four or I'VE miles to rest billets, the
stimulus Is lacking, the pack seems
doubly heavy. and the road Is very
hard to feet softened by three or four
days Of wearing gumboots In the mud
Of the trenches. In "a hours, with q
bath, shave, and clean kit, there will
be different men; for memory is mer-
cifully short in this war. and the COM
forts or discomforts Of the moment are
the things that count.

During the last year Of our Civil War,
there Was going on In the Southern
States what Jefferson Davis called
process Of 'sgrinding the youth corn Of
the Confederacy," By which he meant
thatthe boys Of the south, who ought
to have lived to build up that section
after the conflict was over. were being
led to the slaughter. Not few OF the
difficulties Of tho south In later years
were due to this fact. Her worry allow
recovery was the natural result OF the
loss OF al this young manhood.
A military expert calls attention 70

is now beginning to do and what abe

next summer. She. 10 calling to the
colors the boys Of 16, II and IS. These
boys will fight with vigor and bravery,
but they will not win the victories which
might have been possible to tho older,
seasoned troops. And ~ their ranks
are thinned, the future prosperity OF
Germany will be much affected, and the
process Of her recovery from the present
strain made more difficult.
May We not properly think that On
appreciation of this fact entirely aside
from the present military situation,
accounts In part for the present eager
ness of the Central Powers for peace.
They have lost the present war and are
perfectly aware Of It. They would like
to get out, with al the loot possible,

the situation has now become such that

Germany must give out for lack OF new
