THE LAST WAR.

This war Is an adventure that cannot
be repeated. The weaker states upon which
it, impact fell went far toward utter
ruin. In Russia, Austria Hungary, the
Balkans and Asia Minor it will take
long time to repair the ravage. EXCEPT
for the help and the stablizing influences
that Western Europe and America will
extend, great part Of those afflicted re-
sions might lapse into . new Dark Age
such q succeeded the overthrow Of Roman
civilization fifteen hundred years ago.
This il no more lugubrious fancy, but
only fair deduction from present facts
that would b. aggravated by winter OF
severe famine but for Western help
Even such comparatively strong and sd-
vanced states - France and 1taly-not ia
mention Germany itself-emerge heav-
ily burdened, needing help.
The United States, richest and strong
ct Of al. sxperisnesd only . year and .
half Of war after two years Of unparal-
lsled prosperity. Only toward the very
sud Of the war was it sxsrting full
measure Of strength and feeling real
war pinch Two years more Of waste Ct
life and wealth on The scale Of last
autumn would have felt deep sears here.
The civilized world needs oil it, re-

sources for reconstruction and to carry
the load this war entailed But the only
alternative to a new international ar
rangement-a League of Nations-is a
return, sooner or later, to the old scheme
of competitive ornaments that increas-
ingly burdened Europe for generation
before the war. Only, in the light of this
wars experience, competitive armaments
would be much more forbidding than
formerly. Armaments must be keyed 70
experience.
Before 1914 Europe's preparedness fer
war was more or less keyed to the ex-
perience of the Franco Prussian War of
1870. In the future they would have to
be keyed to the experience of the world
war.
Human society, all around, is condi-
toned very much by the state of the me-
chanical arts. It was the advance in he
mechanical arts that made this war so
much more destructive and costly than
any other. That advance is continuous.
Twenty years hence the means of des-
truction will no doubt be as much great
er than those of to-day as those of to-day
are greater than they were twenty years
ago. 1t has often been said during the
last two years that there would be 10
place for any neutral in another big war.
Its scope would be universal.
Another big war is an adventure that
civilization cannot stand. This is not
sentiment or matter of inclination.
The cold facts in the case allege it. The
constant liability to war which was i'm
plicit in the old international arrange
ment must be removed. No unstable
balances Of power or refurnishing of
Congress of Vienna will remove it; yet
that is what all opponents of League Of
Nations really want.-Saturday Evening

NEW IBERIA MAN SAVES LIFE OF
ALEXANDRIA LINEMAN.

On Tuesday Mr.. J. S. Power, Jr. ar
rived home from Sanitarium at Alex
andria where he had been receiving med
ical treatment for severe burn in his
right hand after extricating from live
wire at Pineville Mr.. L. R. Barry, who,
together with Mr.. Power was in the en-
ploy of the Alexandria Electric Works.
The Alexandria Town Talk contained the
subjoined account of the affair:
"R. L. Barry, one of the city electric
lincman, is lying in the sanitarium, suf-
fering from severe burns received on Sat-
urday afternoon at about $3.50 o'clock
while working on high power electrc
line on Main Street in Pineville, just op-
posite the new Baptist Church.
Messrs. Barry and J. S. Power, also an
electric lineman were up pole making
repairs On electric wires. While at thi.
work barry was trying to catch an in
sulator thrown to him by colored mar
from the ground. He unfortunatel,
touched wire that had $500 volts on it
The moment he touched the wire it wa:
observed by his partner, Mr.. Power, who
with the quickness of thought cut thu
wire with his pliers. In doing so Mr.
Power had one of his hands severel,
burned.
The act of Mr.. Powers saved the lift
of Mr.. Berry. Both of Berry's hands
were severely burned, where he held OF
to the high-powered wire, and his RICH
thigh was also severely burned and hi
back sprained.
It is reported today that Mr.. Barry j
getting on very we'll, and that he vii
recover"
