Of peace. peace throughout the world
under the imperial sway ~of Rome
There was peace In the sense that all
kingdoms had been subdued By Rome
and attached to her empire. This was
the wonderful "Pax Romans" But
among the millions Of souls who madt
ZIP that empire there was anything
but peace. Cruelty and oppression
reigned. Half the population Of the
empire was slaves.
Scholars point out the fact tina!

by destroying the nations. but by link.
ing their wealthy families with Rome,
thus establishing a community Of In
terest against the poor people and the
slaves, whose toll enriched this aristo.
cratic, plLtocratic minority. It was q
league of all the rich people in the
world against all the poor people In
the world. The poor lived in constan,
fear Of the rich, and the rich lived In
constant fear Of the poor. Insured
lions were taking place In all parts
Of the empire. But the masters had
the Roman legions at their disposal
and by the power of arms kept the
poor and the slaves In their place.

shotoun. In War.

That saosguns should be largely uti-
lized In modern warfare IL the conten-
ton Of a. number Of military experts.
It Is pointed ont that such guns would
le particularly useful to sentries at
night time. as. an intruder might more
easily be crippled and captured by a
spreading charge Of heavy shot than by
a single bullet. Moreover, a person
moving quickly might often be missed
by shot from a rifle. whereas a snap
shot from shotgun In semidarkness
could hardly fail to find Its object.
In the trenches shotguns could be
used with success. "A shotgun loaded
with about forty-eight grains Of pow.
der ana one and half ounces Of big
shot, with about twenty-five pellets
would be OF much more value than the
rife, as during night attack. either
for attack or defense in semidarkness
a single charge would hardly fail to In,
dict serious wounds on one or more OF
the enemy
