TODAY'S ANNIVERSARIES,

The celebrated battle of Otterburn
was fought on Aug. 10, 1888. The
Scotch had besieged Newcastle and
were driven off by Henry Percy (Hot-
spur. A battle took place at Otter
burn in which the Earl of Douglas
was killed and Percy taken prisoner.
On this date in the year 1867 John De
Witt, one of the most eminent of
Dutch statesmen, was murdered. He
was republican and pacif~ in his po-
Htical policy, and became the lead
er Of the anti-Orang party. A war
broke out with England during his
term of power, which he conducted
with great ability. Subsequent Dutch
reverses rendered him unpopular, and
the Prince of Orange rise to power.
His brother, Cornelius, had been ac-
cused of a conspiracy against the life
of the Prince of Orange, but was ac-
quilted. De Witt visited him in
prison, and viii there a mob prob
ably instigated his enemies, burst
in and murdered them both.

without a peer!" Yes, Prof. Won
Lassen, oh, yes, truly the Boches are
without a peer; fortunately for hui
mainly they have no parallel!
Il The Neutrals, my God, to think that
there are still Neutrals! But it is
because they cannot believe, because
they do not know, it is because they
have not seen! ;. All, how would
like to bring here some of my Spanish
friends! Surely the scales would fall
from their eyes.
If think particularly of Spain.
Spain that is always so chivalrous, it
| is because I have always loved 1t; for
twenty-five years have lived on its
frontier. We will succeed without
their aid and when we are done I need
| not be envious that she had her part
in the deliverance. But how would
have liked to have seen them at our
| side in trouble and in glory!
After I had passed through the suf-
| fering city. whose suburbs are as ter
ribly ravaged as it's richer quarters, I
came to a section where the final pic
! ture waited me, the destruction OF the
ltrees.-"Certain soldiers - directed
their abominable orders-"with equip
ment will have the duty of cutting
down the fruit trees So, methodical-
! ly as always, every one is destroyed.
In a section of several leagues the
larger pear trees and magnificent old
apple trees, which represented the
wealth of the peasants, lay by the side
of the road or angle-wise in the or
chards-And the beasts, without neg
lecting to destroy the tiniest hamlet,
| found time to cut them down within
a metre from the ground! AS soon
as the branches of one tottered and
fell, they passed to the next, without
sparing a single minute to give a final
blow, so great was their haste to de-
stroy all of them. That is why many
of the beautiful tops of the trees thus
cut down are attached still to the
| trunk by fragmentsNof bark which has
| furnished them the sap for the new
leaves for the last time, their last
springtime. They are like huge pink
| or white bouquets laying on the
ground This sap will evidently soon
fail, the flowers will fade without
bringing their fruit. 1t is pathetic
sight, all these poor blossoms on old
trees which are about to die.

BETTER WAR MACHINES
WHY NOT BETTER SOLDIERS

Now that our Army officials are
turning to ever part Of the globe for
information that will aid them in the
terrific conflict into which we have
entered, would it no. be a good plan
to offer a reward for method of
training or for suggestions in con-
nection with training, that would add
to the physical efficiency of the men
in the Army? A reward of $1,000
or more for such suggestions would
undou btedly bring ideas before the
military authorities that would be
worthy of consideration.
This is a period of revolution. Old
ideas are making way for new ones.
Change is. everywhere, and is it not
possible that the methods that have
been adopted by the Army for the
upon?
The Army has turned to the
tank" the aeroplane-invention of
yesterday.
Why not also test out every reason
able idea that may be advanced In
connection with the physical welfare
of the soldier?
If the Army officials would, for in
stance, place twenty-five soldiers in
charge of each school of physical
training that would accept the re-
sponsibility say, for from one to three
months, a test of the strength and en-
durance of the men previous to such
an experiment and thereafter would
unquestionably be enlightenfng to an
unusual degree. Much information of
great value might be acquired
through study of the methods used
by the school in which the men made
the greatest progress.
A serious consideration Of this. sug-
gestion by the Army officials would
please a considerable number Of men
who have made a life study of physi-
cal northumberland Macfadden in

of testimony offered by defense wit

The confession is Attorney General

statement which said Kelly admitted
Staying six members Of the Moore
family and two stillinger girls at VII
