Successful warfare lis matter nf

expect to devise instruments that Will

without doubt the intentions of
these worthy people are good and they
believe in themselves and their invent
lions, but thus far in the nations his
tory ingenious mechanisms have not
been able to replace human endeavor
and human sacrifice. Neither the
Monitor nor the Merrimac brought the
civil war to a conclusion. The sub

poison gas and the dirigible have ad-
ded materially to the horrors of war,
but they have not ended the war. In

doubtless he, with other geniuses, will

If some death dealing device of I'M

Australian wool, on which has been
built up much of that British colony's
prosperity, started more than 100
years ago. 1t originated with certain
Captain Macarthur. a soldier in the
British army. Settling in New South
Wales, soon after Governor Phillip ar
rived there, he saw the possibilities for
growing fine wool, and by the luckiest
accident was able, in 1896, to import
five merino ewes and three rams. They
were of flock presented by the king
of Spain to the Dutch at the cape and
came from the famous Escurial flock.
These, judiciously added to by Mac
Arthur, were the beginning of the vast
Australian sheep industry of today.
The first shipment of Australian wool
was 245 pounds, in 1907, now the ship
ments run into hundreds of millions of
pounds. i

BELGIUM TO BE GIVEN

Thrilling moments OF actual engage
ments in the trenches in Belgium, when
German troops were making every eff
fort to dislodge and annihilate the
brave defenders, will be shown on the
screen at the Pinney theater on Mon
day and Tuesday, March 1920, when
DIR. Earl v. Morrow comes to this city
to lecture on his experiences at the
battlefront. DIR. Morrow was for a
year and a half in charge of the bat
tlefield activities of the American med
ical corps in the Belgian sector OF the
western front, and he has a most vivid
tale of the terrors of the gigantic con-
flict. BY special permission of King
Albert, of Belgium, the doctor was per-
mitted to take pictures on the firing
line; and at the repeated risk of his
life he secured views that no otler
man has yet~succeeded in getting past
the vigilant eyes of the military cen
sors.
DR.. Morrow will tell Of the war as he
saw ia most intimate view, both of
its heroic and it's pathetic sides. He
will tell of the life Of the soldiers in
the trenches, of the activity in the hos
pital centers after each engagement,
and of the amusements of the men dur
ing their occasional periods of rest
from the gruelling shell fire. His lee
ture is Illustrated by pictures that
bring each incident home with striking
clearness, and that prove better than
any words just what the war is doing
to the people of the old world.

The success Of the electric vehicle
should be greater in South Africa than
In most parts of, the world, because
gasoline there costs from 70 to 70
cents gallon, three times as much as
1t is worth in the United States, and
twice as much as it costs in any other
country in the world.
