one of our best known county Off
cials, passed away at his home in
this city. Death came with an
alarming suddenness and was only
preceded by an illness of about two
weeks duration. To Langdon people
the blow comes with almost startling
effect, as it is less than week since
mourning was brought by Deaths
Angel to the home of another of our

The death of Register of Deeds MIC.

REMINDERS OF WAR TRAGEDY
Three Tragic Figures That VIII Con-

When the war comes to be written
as an epic-and it will some day be
written as an epic Of the folly of
mankind-the tragic figures in it
that will persist in the imagination
and memory of mankind forever will
be countries like Belgium and Rou-
mania and Poland, says Newton d.
Baker in National Geographic Maya
zine. Mad as the world seems to
be, some day there will be re-estab-
ished on this stricken planet peace
which will be just and wise and per-
manent-iust in proportion as
America pours out her spiritual re-
sources in the waging of the war
from now on, AMI is heard at the con-
ference table to challenge the atten-
ton of mankind to the beauty of
righteousness among nations. But
in the meantime, as the armies which
are being called are trained and led
to battle, all along the national way
side of every nation in the world
still crouch the terrified and tram
pied figures of the children of man
kind-disowned, starving and dying.
