Neutrals and War Ends.

Just how much ice does neutral cut
with belligerents at ware Open your
history and see.
Only one great war in recent times
was ended by a neutral. No neutral
ever ended one of Frederick the Great s
conflicts.
The Napoleonic wars ran over a pc
Rod of twenty years. No campaign had
period inserted after it by neutral
power.
We fought the American Revolution
to a conclusion as the Seven Years
War and the accompanying struggle be
tween France and England had been
fought to finish, never needing the
word OF neutral.
bismarck engineered three important
wars, against Denmark, Austria and
France. He won them all, and stopped
when he was ready, but not when a neu.
trail suggested it.
Neutrals talked and suggested an
end to the Civil War long before Lee
and Johnston surrendered their armies
but Lincoln S idea was that peace that
left the real issue unsettled meant that
tens of thousands of soldiers would have
died in vain.
The Crimean war ended when the bel
hgerents got good and ready. So did
the Boer war end when one combatant
was unable to continue.

SHOOTING HIS HOBBY
Love for Hunting Is Inherent in

CBy CHARLES A. BENDER)

Can't see why every man should not

must confess that the microbe has got
me" And there is Il logical reason why
without doubt the love for trapshOot-
ing and hunting is inherent in every
man who lays claim 10 the thrOb of
red blood in his veins. The fever" is
just naturally bred in the bones. 1t
may lie dormant for while, but soon
er or later it is bound to assert itself.
What man is there who cannot look
back over the years and recall an ir-
resistible youthful desire to own a real
gun? What man is there who hasn't
heard the call of the big outdoors? And
surely what man is there who could
play the role of spectator at a real
trapShoOting competition without ex-
periencing q desire to take q crack at
the flying clays himself and show the
other fellow how to smash 'em? The
old adage that a man is only a grown
up boy still holds good. The latent
desires of youth are bound to crop up,
