HIT THE HEAD OF IT

Washington dispatches dealing with
the governments activities against
the l. ". w tell US that evidence
is said to be fast accommodating to
support the belief that gigantic
conspiracy has existed for some time
to cripple the government in carry
ing on the war, that its ramifications
have extended into practically every
state and that many anti-war activl-
ties which appeared to emanate from
many sources had their fountain head
in a single group off consprators.
AT one time during the Civil war,
when the United States government
was having trouble with the conscrip-
ton law and many persons were be-
ing tried by courts martial for dis
couraging enHstments or encouraging
desertion. President Lincoln said;
Must | shoot a supplemented

Here will be provided every means OF

The pure artesan water is being
piped all over the grounds and every
thing is being done to guard the

The road from Alexandra to Camp
Beauregard is now being constructed
and will be a concrete highway Of
the latest type when completed.
| In the City of Alexandria commit
tees of the Chamber of Commerce and
the War Recreation Board are busy
at work looking after the various
| phases of the soldiers lite. Rest
rooms are being established all over
the city where the boys will be able
to congregate for wholesome pleas

various entertainments for the boys,
in short, nothing is being left undone
to welcome the boys to our city and to
make them feel just as much at home
as when they were in their native To-

the boys are giving UP for their coun-
try and the citizens of the city will
make their stay here as pleasant as
possible.
Another feature we are looking af-

see your boys in camp. We are main
tanning a hotel, room and board ex-

whereby one can find pleasant To-

urge you to call on US when you ar
rive. Our merchants have made ar
engagements to supply the boys with
all necessary articles at fair and reas-
enable prices. There will be no ex-
tortion in Alexandria while the camp
IS here It may be that some few
scattering cases will come up, for in
every city there are some few people
who cannot be reached in spirit Of
fairness. We believe the number
here IS neglible, but we will take it
as favor if you will report to this

PACIFISTS AND EDWARDS
- -

The character of large part of the
pacifit and pro-German element is
revealed by their arguments to dis
suade Americans from doing their
duty.
A man will naturally use on anoth-
err that argument which appeals to
himself
If selfishness and cowardice are
prominent in his own makeup, he
cannot help assuming other men are
similarly constituted.
Stripped of their thin veneer of
how brow words and tinsel idealism,
most pacifsts appeals are based on
cowardice.
The lying stories of carnage in
France are told with the hope of in
sitting such fear in the soldiers that
they will refuse to obey orders.
This kind of stuff has exactly the
opposite effect on the normal man,
naturally brave, but the pacifst can't
see that.
The intellectual kinship between the
pacifst degenerate and the Prussian
bully is in the belief of both that the
spirit of nations may be broken by
fear and suffering.
The selfish instinct is uppermost
with towards. The constant appeals
to Americans to save their hides is
coupled with appeals to fill their bel
lies. while their brothers and sisters
over the sea starve to death.
Supremacy absurd have been the pa
cifst attempts to appeal to the moth
ers of America. The average female
Of the paedst societies and street
screening organizations knows moth
ing of motherhood.
The woman who risks death to give
life and tolls her youth away for her
children has above all others the so
eial and patriotic instinct of sacrifice.
Consequently, we find everywhere
mothers glorying that they can give
their sons to their country.
Mothers are the fountain head of
the race. Instinctively they under
stand the supreme need of preserving
womanhood from the Prussian de-
spoler.
1t is not strange the appeals of the
warped one-sided pacifist female have
fallen on deaf ears when addressed to
American mothers.
It requires courage to bring boy
into the world and few women who
have borne sons have any use for
slaekers.- Southwest American

JuTeQ.
In proportion to the number of men
engaged, however, the casualties are
less than any previous war. 1t may
be surprising to learn that fewer Eng
| fish, French and Russian soldiers, in
proportion to the number under arms,
are falling than during the Napoleonic
wars or the Civil war in the United
States. 1t is a fact, however, proved
by statictics.
AS regards the losses from disease
and from wounds which reach the hos
pitfalls in time for treatment, there is
no comparison between this and for
mer wars When it is stated that only
100000 French soldiers have been dis
charged from the service on account
of wounds, some idea of the effective
ness of the medical service in this war
may be gained, for France has had
100000 or more men constantly I'M
der arms for nearly three years.
American soldiers will go into the
war better equipped than any army
that ever entered the field. They will
have behind them not only unlimited
money for all purposes, but all the ex-
perience gained by the British and
French in three years of fighting.
That our losses will be far less than
those of our allies have been is reas-
onably to be expected. That the
| wounded will be better and more eff
GENTLY treated than any army ever
has been treated is assured by the
fact that we have seven physicians to
every 1000 men, while the British
have only three per thousand. Here
again, we will profit by their expert
ence and mistakes.
Life insurance experience tables
show that eight out of every 1,0oG men
between the ages of q and 81 die ev-
cry year. That is $4,000 out of the
100000 drafted will die this year
of natural causes. In the Spanish
American war six men died from dis
case to every one that died in battle
or of wounds received in battle. But
that was a small war, badly managed
as regards sanitation, and IS per cent
of the deaths from disease were
caused by typhoid, which has been
practically eliminated.
Experience tables of London COM
pany which has insured 100000 Brit
ISL soldiers in the present war show
that 80 out of each 1000 are killed OF
die of wounds each year. Ten Of the
| / 900 would die from natural causes
under peace conditions, according to
the same tables, 50 the net loss II
war is only 20 per annum. And these
British soldiers average much older
and probably less able physically to
bear the strain Of war than our
picked men.
At am rate, accepting the British
figures, only three men out of 100
have died for their country in any year
of the war, or u out of Toe in three
years.
1t is evident, therefore, that even
l.under modern conditions, war is not
ysuch a deadly thing as we have mag
med. Most of the deaths are in the
firing line or just back of it, for those
who reach the hospitals in time can
nearly always be saved, albeit many of
them are permanently crippled.
