THE CASUALTIES.

Seven million men were sacrificed during
the present war. Only by comparison can
the immensely of this destruction of life be
comprehended. The dead number twice as
many as all the inhabitants of the original
thirteen colonies at the time of the revolu-
tionary war. The total number of soldiers
raised for the union armies in the civil war
was 2,772,000. The number killed since
1914 amounts to almost twice the armies
of that war. The number of union soldiers
killed in battle or who died from wounds
and diseases was 349, 944. The life wastage
of the present war is two hundred times as
large as that of the union armies during the
civil war
The toll of the war is not the decrepit
the halt, the lame and the blind, but the
prime of the manhood of the nations from
which the forces are drawn. If human life
is the foundation of the Importance of a
state or nation the manner in which the ma
tions are weakened is apparent The eco
monte waste of the national resources of
life leaves the governments Frustrated in
the contest for future development. If the
prime purpose of man in the world is to
make the opportunities for living better; to
improve the environment in which humanity
is to develop in the future, and to add to
the comfort and happiness of the present
and future generations the war has set the
hands of civilization back on the dial of pro
gress.
The nation or race with proclivities to-
ward war should be so completely handi-
capped and so thoroughly immersed in in
IDENTITIES that the burdens and hardships of
their past evils viii cause constant cry to
ascend from their lips unto heaven, praying
that they may never again be so barbarous
as to bring upon their heads the punishment
of outraged mankind.

FLYING TO EUROPE,

An attempt will soon be made, probably
during April, to cross the Atlantic in air.
ships. On Long Island there are nearing
completion three immense air craft designed
to cover 5000 miles at the rate of thous-
and miles day. In England there are prac-
tically in readiness and awaiting favorable
weather several more craft which will try
to reach this country Hazardous as is the
undertaking there are a plenty of men will
ing to try the experiment which. if success
full, will cut at least three days from the
time now required for transatlantic com
munication
The underlying purpose of these expert
ments is purely commercial. The aircraft
are constructed for transportation of mails
and limited number of passengers. The
largest of them will carry thirty persons.
Perhaps this capacity will be sufficient for
awhile, as there are few men and women
who will be able to afford the expense of
sailing through the air. 1t is now estimated
that it will cost $4,000 for air passage to
Europe, fare that has to be justified by
urgency of business if not paid merely for
the novelty of flying across the Atlantic

The Shorthorn as an Improver
of Native Cattle.
By J. B. Petty.

mo breed has so essentially earned the
title of the universal improver of native
stock as has the Shorthorn. The blood of
this breed is first aid to the injured, blend
ing kindly and effectively for the elimination
of the undesirable characteristics of the
primitive types and adding size, framework,
levelness of flesh and aptitude to fatten.
Long years has the Shorthorn held this hon
ored position, from which it will not be dis
placed by any other breed while native stocks
of any country or cline require the union of
blood which will lay the foundation for prof
liable feeding. 1t is a position of response
bility. The obligation to restore the Short
horn COW to her place of prime Importance
in profitable small farm production rests on
adherentS of the Shorthorn breed. She new
er more lnsistently demanded recognition.
In the matter Of adaptibility of breeds let
1t never be forgotten that the great source
Of beef blood, the world over, has been the
Shorthorn. Superiority in size over all 9TH
er breeds is one of the peculiar merits of the
Shorthorn. One of the main purposes for
which pure-bred herds of beef cattle are
maintained is to improve the size and feed
ing quality of the common cattle of the
country. The average scrub is fine enough
IN bone and body to satisfy the most fastidi-
Gus packer, but he is a most improbable
beast for the raiser or feeder No breed
will improve the size and feeding quality
Of the millions of native scrubs as will the
Shorthorn. And while improving the size
and feeding quality the Shorthorn will also
improve the milking quality of the scrub in
an equal degree. The Herefords and Angus
have not been the pioneers in the grading
up OF western cattle, but the first warm
ing up" given the scrub and western cattle
was at the hands of the Shorthorn No ex-
perlenced range man can doubt in the least
that the Shorthorn made far greater i'm
proVement on the western cattle than could
have been made by any other improved
breed. Those qualities in which they were
most deficient were the ones in which the
Shorthorns particularly excelled all other
breeds-superior size, width of back, depth
OF RIB, fullness of ham, and natural docility
and the power to transmit them in ? marked
degree. These desirable qualities were all
implanted to some extent in our western
herds before the other beef breeds were in
troduced.
The Shorthorn breeder not only makes
two pounds of beef grow where but one
grew before, but he also makes two quarts
OF milk flow where but one flowed before.
and thus doubles his benefactions to man
KIND. AS population increases milk must
play more and more important part in the
economies of beef production.
1t does not require the gift of prophecy to
see that the time is approaching when the
invaluable qualities combined in the Short
horn as in no other breed will, from force
OF necessity, be more and more in demand
Then will the noble Shorthorn come into its
own, and take its rightfu place far in adj
vance of all breeds-incompar the great
mprover."

THE ANTI-TIP LAW.

President Wilson spent over two
thousand dollars in tips while on his
first visit to the peace conference, and
then he was called tight-wad during
his visit to Rome. Europe should pass
an anti-tipping bill like Georgia.-Tal-
bottom New Era.
If it would not amount to more than the
Georgia anti-tippin2 law Europe would do
well to save time and expense of paper and
printing in passing such law. This Georgia
law, which is not without merit, is another
dead letter in the statutes. Nobody who
cares to or is generous enough to give tip
pays the slightest attention to it.

FIFTEEN MILLION GRAVES.
One Estimate OF Cost of Four Years
Warfare All Over the World.
From the Thrift Magazine.

There have been busy days in the harvest
fields of death lately Fifteen million new
made graves are scattered over the lands
Of the earth or hidden away in the depths
of the sea.
From the best information obtainable the
total death statistics of fighting men are as
follows: Germany, 100000; Austria, l.
100000; Turkey, 100000; Bulgaria, $780,
900; Russia, 2,500,OOO; France, 100000
Great Britain, 10000; Italy, 100000, and
the United States $4,000 In addition to
which there are the millions who gave the
blood of their hearts for Belgium Serbia,
Rumanla, Montenegro and other countries.
So, if all the soldiers could come marching
back from their graves today they would
form an army not less than 100000
strong.
And who can count those other millions
who have been butchered in their homes, or
have starved or have persisted at sea; or the
millions more that still must 90 from
wounds. lack Of food and broken hearts?
Even the pestilence of influenza, we are
told by medical scientists, owes its grim sue
cess to war. Every great war in history has
been followed by some kind of pestilental
disease, and while the curse of influenza,
which has caused a death roll of 100000
human beings, cannot be charged directly
to the conflict a very large percentage Of
the fatalities must so be listed. This dis
ease Is known to be at least 400 years old,
but never before has it assumed such malig-
nant form, because the war has brought
about general condition of low physical re-
sistance among all mankind.
So, heigh-ho, Hohenzollern and Hapsburg
and Hndenburg and all of the others among
you who brought all this on the world. Eff
teen million new-made graves! Pretty little
thought to wake up with in the middle of
the night, is it not mein heirs?
