NOT A TOTAL WlPING OUT
"Annlhilated Regiment Means That
the Organization Of the Unit
Is Broken.

In the dispatches concerning the war
in Europe we sometimes run across
the expressions "annihilated" and de
stroyed," with reference to large mill.
tary forces. These technical terms
says the Philadelphia Record, are like
ly to be misleading to the reader wht
is ignorant Of things military. 0nt
learns with horror that "an entire di
vision was destroyed while attempting
to take Hill c." or that "a regiment o
cavalry, while reconnoitering on the
flank of the enemy, was annihilated.
Naturally enough, the reader imaginel
a terrible scene of slaughter, In whicl
all, or practically all, the soldiers arr
left dead on the field.
The truth, however, is quite differ
ent. BY no means was every soldier
killed-the division or regiment wa
destroyed or annihilated as an organi
zatlon or effective fighting unit.
In time of war men fight, not as in
dividuals, but as parts of fighting
unit. That unit may be regiment
a division or an army corps, In order
to be OF any real use, those organiza
tions muct be maintained. When thu
organization is broken up, the indi
vidual soldiers who compose II, no mat
ter how brave they may be person
ally, degenerate into q mob; and, as q
mob or mere disorganized collection
of men, they are unable to make any
defense against attack.

Animals We Never Met,

DR.. N. A. Cobb. an authority or
zoology, declares that there must b,
hundreds of thousands Of species OF
nematodes, or threadworms, more than
nine.tenths of which are still unknown
to science. or the parasitic nematodes
infesting vertebrate animals alone Il
is estimated that there are at least
10000 species. Insects, mollusks, crus
taceans and other animal groups are
also much infested, and as rule
given species of nematode is peculiar
to a single species Of host. Lastly the
species Of nematode living free In soil
and water vastly outnumber the par.
asitic species. AS these creatures arc
enormously prolific, the number of in.
dividuals must be quite beyond con.
ception. Doctor Cobb estimates that

THE GRINDING OF THE GODS.

'The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind
exceeding fine" Never the truth of the foregoing
more apparent than at the present time.
In 1914 the world was plunged into war by the action
of Austria-nsoent and domineerng insisting upon the
chassement of poor little Serbia nation which she
had tyranized for generations and which she
then holding in forced and unjust subugaton But in
her naughty disregard for the rights of Others Austria
sowed the wind from which she is reapng the whr
wind,
Recent and persistent press dispatches indicate that
the empire in bad way Rent and torn by the strife
she herself precptated she would be only too glad
to make peace on any terms that would leave her the
bance of a nation.
But peace for Austria will mean practical extinction
In the very improbable event of German victory she
would be all but devoured by the aggressive neghbor in
pay for services rendered" On the other hand com
pete entente victory will mean that she will be almost to-
tally dsmembered and her goten territory restored to
the different peoples from whom she wrested it.
The way of the transgressor is hard, for nations as
well as for individuals.

After the War.

The war is not over yet. 1t al

Tor several years. This countr!
IS just beginning to prepare t.
get ready to go into it. Still it
not too early to begin to thinl
about and prepare for the end
It and the things after that.
All that this country sacrifice
to carry on the war will hav
been well spent if after the wa
comes a period of better under
standing among the nations, o
more respect in internationa
dealings for right and justice, o.
fairer treatment for weak nations
and little peoples, Of greater in
iividual freedom and happiness
or the lands and races that hav,
oeen oppressed.
All that is given will be givel
argely in vain if after this wa
che old spirit of lust for powel
and desire for conquest remains,
and if other nations rise up t
strive, as Germany now is striv
ng, for world dominion.
We all long for peace to come
but the most terrible thing that
could come to the world now
would be an inconclusive peace
Better five years of war thai
peace tomorrow if that peace lef
the world divided into two hostile
camps, each preparing tor an
other struggle.
The German autocracy and tht
idea it stands for must be crush
ed before any lasting peace cal
be made.
And when this is done and
peace of justice is obtained-i
peace that will give the small ma
tions an equal chance with tn,
great, there must be formed
league of nations to enforce peac,
and to that league every natiol
must be invited to belong. Their
must be no trade wars, no boy
colts, no attempts after the wa
to prevent the legitimate recov
cry and expansion Of any nation
Such things can only make 70

INVENTOR OF CHEWING GUM
John coIgan of Louisville, Recently
Deceased, Was the Pioneer Of
the Business in America.

The death a short time ago at his
home in Louisville, KY, OF John Col.
gan brings to mind the fact that he
was the pioneer chewing gum manu-.
facturer in the United States. His
business career in many ways was a
remarkable one, the Richmond Vir-
ginian observes. When but nineteen
years of age he began business in
small drug store in his home city. In
the use of balsam in the preparation
of cough sirups he conceived the idea of
sweetening and rolling the tolu into
sticks, which he gave freely to his
friends and customers. A few years
later he was told by a travelling sales
man of a large quantity or chicle,
which had been imported by druggist
in New Orleans for experimental pur.
poses, in the hope that 1t might be
used as a substitute for rubber. When
this was found impossible, the chicle
was offered for sale, and Mr.. Colgan
purchased the entire lot, hoping 1t
could be used for chewing gum.
AS a result Of his mixture of the
balsam tolu with the chicle, the first
chewing gum, as we now have 1t, was
produced. The demand for this new
gum was SO great that the supply of
chicle was soon exhausted and sup.
plies in large quantities were ordered
from Mexico. Other Chewing gum
makers" soon began to use 1t also in
their products. and today over 5,0O0,.
900 pounds Of 1t are made in the Unit
ed States each year.
Mr.. Colgan, who was seventy.two
years Of age at the time Of his death
spent his entire life in Louisville. and
Tor many years was actively engaged
in business in that city, He was 9
man OF splendid personality, and his
death was much regretted.

Well Fight for Peace.

We stood on the side lines an d
watched the thing started
We didn't mix in, for it wasn'l
our fuss,
We were not afraid, or the leasi
bit fainthearted,
The issues, we figured, mean
nothing to US.
But when the stray shots begal
flying about us
And one of the scrappers yelled
"Out of the way!"
We cast off the neutral resolves
that had bound US
And grimly, but cheerfully
mixed in the fray.
We didn't go in with a rush or {;
rattle,
Or think we could settle tn
row in day,
We knew from the jump we wer'
in for a battle,
But Dragging and buster wer,
never our way.
We're taking a course where thu
going is steady;
It's been a long time sine
we've had a real fight;
Well not try to start till we ge
good and ready,
For when we go in, we are go
ing in right.
1t now is our row; though W.
didn't begin it,
Or help to begin it, it's our
just the same;
We all are determined that nov
we are in it
We're going to stick till tn
end of the game.
Bloodshed is something we hav
no delight for,
But let Mr.. Kaiser paste thi
