age many millions, were the results

police estimate the loss of life there
was large.
At 8 O'Clock today the waters were
receding. 1t is estimated that an
area two miles wide and six miles
long, including the larger part of the
business district, was swept by the
flood.

THE ~EGULARS

There's something mighty persuasive about the
regular army. Another example 81 this has just
been furnished in the manner the forces Of disorder
in West Virginia have been paci6ed inside Of 4 few
daysby the arrival Of two regiments Of .sregulars.,''
The state authorities had striyen svainly for
some time to suppress the disorders which instead
ct calming down were growing steadily worse. Then
regular soldiers were sent and on their arrival the
forces Of disorder broke up withouk the soldiers
having to fire a single shot.
The reason was obvious. The rioters knew
that if these regulars were ordered to sh6ot they
would shoot, and shoot TO kill. There would be no
and no bluiTing.
Consequently the disorder has been ended WITH
out shooting, while if a temporizing policy had been
pursued it might have resulted in serious bloodshed.
Like the recent little affair at Langdon this has 4
moral in it.
