PRESENT WAR NOT MOST
 DESTRUCTIVE IN HISTORY

The war now raging in Europe is the most destructive in the worlds history, considering the number of men engaged, for fifty-two years ago today, Sept. IS, 1865, there was fought the first. important battle of 8 war which resulted in the destruction of almost an entire nation. This war was fought between the armies of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, un- der Gen. Floros, on the one side, and the .Paraguayan army under Francisco Lopez on the other. A meeting of the armies in battle at Santayuna on the Uruguay was the first of 8 series of desperate encounters in which nearly f1ve-sixths of the whole population of Paraguay was wiped out. The war lasted five years, ending in 1870 with the final defeat of the last remnant of the Paraguayan army and the death of Lopez. All of this devastation was wrought at the behest of a dictator who had murdered his own brothers put his mothers and sisters to torture, and ordered the execution of all his closest friends and then involved Paraguay in war with three power full nations, and all forlno other pur- pose than to satisfy his own, ambitions.
 The monstrous Francisco Lopez was the son of Carlos Antonio Lopez, who
 
 reigned as despot in Paraguay from 1844 to 1862. While the elder Lopez and his predecessor, the terrible Fran cia, were perhaps the most extreme example of the despot that modern history affords, they were at least men of unusual strength and ability. Francisco Lopez, who at thirty-fi succeeded. his father as ruler of the South American country, was merely vicious wastrel whose ambition it was to shine as the Napoleon of South America. He had a thorough school ing in vice in the capitals of Europe, and when he returned to Paraguay he brought with him harem of cour- tesans. Soon after assuming office he bent all his energies toward build ing up military machine wit hwhich he hoped to- conquer the continent When he had raised and armed an army of 100,000 men he invaded Bra

gil. Frightened by his. imperial aims, Argentina and Uruguay joined Brazil in an alliance to resist Lopez.
 From the first great battle, fought fifty-two, years ago today, the war was a succession of fierce and san guinary conflicts in which the allies were usually victorious. When at last Lopez was killed and his last army wiped out. Paraguay gave up the un- equal struggle. The country was then nearerr to complete annihilation than any other nation in modern history, rot even excepting Belgium, Serbia or Rumania.
 At the beginning of the war Para quay had population of 100000, and at it's close only 225, ,000 remained, of whom less than 30,00O were men, and most of these crippled or very old. It was estimated that not less than 100000 adult women died of starvation during the war.
 Although the war resulted in the most total extinction of Paraguayan nationality it was necessary to pre- serve it to maintain yt the balance of power between it's powerful neigh bors. Brazil demanded a war indem- nifty of $200,000, 900, Argentina $35,- 100000. and Uruguay $1,OoO, 900, or more than $1,000 per head for the re- maining Paraguayan population to pay. The magnificent mausoleum which Lopez expected to hold his ig- noble remains and perpetuate his name, Is now a ruin, but the two mil lion dollar palace which was the scene of his ferocfous orgies still stands and has since been turned to better use.

THE HOUSE OF HANOVER

The first British Monarch of the House of Hanover landed in England to claim the throne POS years ago to- day, Sept. IS, TIA. Queen Anne, the last of the Stuarts had died on Aug. 1st of that year, and although she had given birth to thirteen children, not one survived to perpetuate the line. So the choice fell on the Elector of Han over and Duke of Brunswicke- Lune- burg, son of Sophia, who was a of Elizabeth, daughter of James l. He was a German of the Germans, unable to speak English ana with no desire to learn. George I. landed at Greenwich, where he was received by the lords of the regency, who had been conducting the govern ment since the death of the Quee-4. The new kings first official act was to lop off the official heads of Queen Annes ministers. George I. was not to England by his spouse that unfortunate lady, Sophia of Zell, having been convicted of a marital ir- regularity and shut up in prison, where she died in 1726 after a con- finement of thirty-two years. George l., like his successors up to Queen Victoria, continued to reign over Han over, and his fondness for the land of his birth and. his dislike for English institutions led him to spend much of his time in Hanover

 Krupps and milftarism have plainly dominated the Kaiser's mind for many years. In the Secret History of the Court of Berlin" at first pub lished anonymously, but since ac- knowledged by Countess von Epping- hoven, there are many interesting sidelights on the Kaiser. He owns set of uniforms for each of the three hundred and odd Prussian regiments, horse, foot. and artillery, as we'll as for the countless Bavarian, Wurtem- burg, and Saxon regiments, and all the foreign armies in which he holds honorary commissions.
 All these dignities necessitate, be- sides the uniforms proper. an endless collection of badges, sashes, side arms, helmets shakos, busbies sabres, cuirasses, shoulder-points. epaulettes, silver cords, belts, cartridge-cases, and faces.
 He owns, besides his official dni- forms, an astounding number of plain clothes, hunting and sporting suits, of all shapes and colors. Private valets are in constant attendance from early morning till night, so that the Kaiser
