England Fought France From 1879 ts

Three years Of war seems a long
time TO most Of US, but few Of the big
wars Of history have been settled in
anything like so short a period, OBJ

respects was similar to the present

yoars; as did the French Reyoll.
honary and Napoleonic campaigns.
The American War Of independence
'asted eight years, the War Of Sue
ccsslon IL years and the Elizabethan
var with Spain l6 years.
The longest period at which this
country was at war at one time was
from 1889 to li7l, when we fought
France almost continuously; while
the Wars Of the Roses dragged on for
nearly 30 years. But events move
more quickly in these days, and it is
Uncomfortable to suppose that the
present struggle can continue or
anything like SO long as did these
campaigns. In former times sew
eral decades elapsed before the more
glaring effects of war disappeared,
but 1t is probable thai the work Of
reconstruction will be so rapid today
that within a few years after the
signing Of peace the war-stained
cities and fields Of France will be re-.
stored to something approaching
their former appearance.

IRISH SOLDIERS.

In selecting for eulogy the
bravery and endurance" Of the Irish
troops, Mr.. Balfour has hit upon the
very qualities for which they we're
commended, says the London Chron-
icle, to an ancestor Of his, Robert
Cecil, first earl of Salisbury, in 1894.
A recruiting officer Of that period,
Captain Dawtry, writing to advise
the raising Of an Irish regiment, said
"there can be no better soldiers upon
the earth than they be, either for
the use Of their weapons, or the
strength Of their bodies and minds,
for they are such seasoned men for
the war that they can endure all for
tunes whatsoever, and they will keep
health when others, with a little ex-
tremity will lie by the wall"

LEARNING IN EUROPE.

After the fall Of the Roman EN-.
pire learning became almost UNI
known in Europe. The invasion OF
the Teutonic barbarians swept away
science, art and literature and left
all peoples exhausted by war and
stepped in ignorance. During these
centuries the only culture that the
world knew was carried on by the
Arabs. When at length western Eu-
rope had recovered and was ready to
learn once more, she looked TO the
Moors for inspiration and pattern
and found there astrology, arithme-
tic, medicine and alchemy. This
last made a particular appeal. Dur
ing the centuries which followed all
the manifestations of nature were
studied under the name Of alchemy.

YANKEE HUM0R At THE FRO III
American Lads, as 10 Characteristic OF
Them, Dare Death and Physical
Peril With Jest

The irrepressible ebullience Of
the Yankee soldier rises above the
terror Of war and bubbles in spark
ling effervescence over the battle
front. Gays the Omaha Bee. On
devastated fields, where he tolls to re-
store some semblsnce Of civilization,
he erects signs that indicate his eter-
nal optimism and defiance Of fate.
These signs are not grim in irony
or threatening in aspect as are some
erected by the enemy, but are full Of
thc spirit Of hope and purpose. The
ripple Of laughter that flows from
them may strike some Of the more
scrious-mindcd as in some sense out
Of place, but they really show no lack
Of reverence. They are expressive OF
indomitable resolve to revise and
make useful what the foe has sought
to destroy.
Daring death with a jest and fiout-
ing at physical peril is Characteristic
Of the iight-hearted men who are GO
ing WITH an their souls into the
thickest Of vars inferno. They work
while they laugh and bring an e1-
ample OF courage and hope to a land
that needs il most.
American humor is an inseparable
companion to American pluck and
determination and always 'the
bravest are the tenderest, the loving
are the daring"

SAVED LIFE OF KORNIL0FF
Private Soldier Who Aided Russian
General to Escape From AustrIans
Is Tenderly Remembered.

General Kornilof, the Russian
general recently accused of treason,
is not without sentiment or graft
tude. This was shown BY hi, actions
regarding a private soldier, Mranak
by name. who aided him in his es-
cape from the Austrians, writes a
Russian correspondent.
The gratitude to Mranak was
shown by Korniloif's order to Com
pany A, First regiment. Czecho-Slo-
wax brigade. II was Mranak's wish
that he escape from the Germans to
Join that fighting unit Of the Rus
sian army. Korniloff in that prison
camp in Bohemia had promised him
that when they reached the land Of
the new freedom his wish should
come true. IL was not given to
Mranak to live until that day, but
his memory and his name sticks in
the roster Of the company and the
regiment. Kornilof ordered, and
his order was fulfilled, that at roll
call Mranak's name should be called,
and when il is called a soldier in the
ranks answers:
"Shot by order of a Hungarian
court-martial at Pressburg for saw
ing General Korniloff from DEATH"

NATUR ALlZEp ALIENS

The government of the United States has the power to revoke the naturaliza- lion papers Heretofore granted aliens. The fact that naturalization has been extended to a foreigner, does not mean that he can forever be a citizen regard less of his conduct. Congress has the right to pass d law any day drawing from the aliens ali naturalization rights that have been extended, and it is believed that such a law will be passed Certainly it ought 60 be passed.
 We have in this country a number of naiuraliZcd aliens who have forfeited all rights 10 the protection of the American flag. They can not be treated at this time as alien enemies. They enjoy all the rights of citizenship, and must be dealt with in the same manner that we deal with natiYe-born Americans. If We had a law withdraw ing their naturalization rights we could at once treat them aS alien enemies, and it is about time we were protecting ourselves against them.
 France and Great Britan have found il necessary to do so. In fact, Great Britain has withdrawn naturalization rights from all aliens naturaliZed with in the past ten years, without excep- ton. Tn that way she hopes to get at the troublesome ones. No such far reaching proposition is proposed in this country, but there are many who be- lieve it would be well to have . law upon the subject as the easiest and most ust way of reaching those who have become citizens and who are dis loyal to this nation.
 We have been very lenient iii this country so far We have hardly felt that we are at war We have allowed aliens to go about their way. with, the result that mills and factories and warehouses have been destroyed We have allowed naturaliZeO citizens to- openly criticise our preparations for war. because they were citizens. We must draw the line more closely about every person suspected of dlSloyalty: we must pay more attention to cur alien enemies, and we must protect ourselves against persons we have nat uralized if they show the least evidence of disloyalty Every day that the war
