HETRoDs OF MODERN Warfare
TO Be SHOWN AT STATE FAIR


Until the outbreak of war between
Germany and the Allies, the war be-
tween the North and the South fifty
years ago was considered by war ex-
perts to have been the greatest mill
tary contest the world had ever ex-
perienced It was commonly and
freely predicted that a contest Of
such awful proportions would never
be witnessed again, because the hor-
ror of it was SO appalling and the
waste so terrible that nations would
consider well the consequences ia
fore allowing themselves to be dra cd
| into such folly Which goes to deme.a~
strate the fallacy of human prophe.s
1t was a gigantic struggle, that w,
of 1S61-65, but a puny affair corr
pared to the present titanic contita
that has converted the entire civilized
world into seething maelstrom Of
hell. More astonishing progress in
the line of invention has been
achieved in the last thirty years than
in centuries preceding. This applies
to war and the machinery of destruc-
ton used in prosecuting war as we'll
as to civil life. more's the pity. There
is as much difference in the methods
of carrying on warfare fifty years ago
and today as there is between one of
those dinky sailing ships of the May
flower age and modern liner that
puts the traveller across the Atlantic
in days where the other took months.
Whether we quite realize it or not,
this country is actively engaged in
the present war. The terrible fact
has not come home to us yet but it
will, soon or late Naturally we are
all interested in learning how war is
conducted. Only very small pro-
portion of American people will be
privileged to see anything of the con-
f1ict in actual operation. The rest
will have to acquire knowledge and
information by way of the printed
page, pictures and peaceful demon
stration of one kind and another.

Lee were equipped would cut about as
much figure in the present war as an
army of kids armed with niger
shooters. Even the military experts
themselves confess amazement at the
terrible war engines and methods of
destruction evolved by modern in
yentors.
1t was with this idea in mind that
the Iowa State Fair officials arranged
to put on the great open-air pageant
entitled Modern Warfare" at the
coming fair While listed under the
head of entertainment it is strictly
educational in character. 1t is de-
signed to give the rank and file Of the
people some idea Of how war is car
ried on this twentieth century Mod
ern methods of trench warfare will
be shown; the huge siege guns in oper-
alton; battles between air machines,
the inventors most recent contribu-
ton to the trade of war; the great,
slow-moving, but terribly destructive
tanks" and various other schemes
and contrivances by which a aceful,
producing land is turned into bar
rem waste in the course of a few days.
1t will all be very spectacular, this
imitation warfare, and furnish the
spectator with more real information
in that line than any amount of read
ing

cupants of the car threw down on the
young man with their guns and forced
the girl to leave the buggy and enter

Whether the white slave traffic or

numbers win be called IN the first
draft and what the chances are Of be-
ing included in the second call is just
now a question OF much interest to a
large number Of men who registered
for army service in the county. This
all depends upon the number Of exemp.
tions made by the boards when they
get down to business. The quota in
each district is twice the number &C.
tually wanted for the army. This
means that in each district only half
the number in the original quota will
be taken but the whole number IS
called to guarantee the amount desir-
ed. For example, If the government
does not get. on account OF exemp-
tions, the quota for Grady county
northern district on the first call. an.
other must be made to secure tha
amount allotted that district to raise.
The order Of numbers alone will govern
the chances for future draft. Upon
the number Of mon secured by the first
draft in this district who are not ex.
empted VIII depend the number that
must be raised in the next cali.
These were the regulations recon.
mended BY Mr. Murray this morning

now obtainable and not until the num-
ber of registrants held II s'st exempt.
