RISH INDEPENDENT, Dublin: The
next war will be over in as many
weeks as the last war took years,
i Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton believes
In the rush to secure bases for
aerodromes and oil depots, the mocha
nised motor driven forces will meet in
one battle that will decide the war,
after which the victors' tanks and air
planes will eat up the hostile infantry
and artillery and wipe out the civilian
population. The airplanes laden with
chemicals will, Sir Ian says, be the
worst devils. The prospect Is none too
pleasant; but Sir Ian's object Is to
make the disarmament conferences get
down to brass tacks. IT there Is to be
a next war, it is we'll to know that the
military experts have put their cards
on the table So long as the people
who pay the piper, and who constitute
the gun fodder, allow admirals ana
generals and politicians to evade the
issues of world peace, they have only
to blame. If the plain peo,
pie showed they were really determined
to abolish war, the politicians would
do as they were told.

Drive Against Outlaws.
La NNoticia, Managua: The entire
population Of the town of Matiguas, IN
the northeastern sector Of the depart,
ment, has determined once and 1or All
to put to an end the ravages OF the
bandoleros which have been making
well-nigh intolerable the further exist
ence of not only those inhabitants, but
also and more particularly that OF the
dwellers in the adjacent rural COM
munities. -,
Though most of this peaceful citi-
zenry belonging within and without the
town were destitute Of firearms, they
gathered such weapons as they could
of this description, mostly ancient ana
decrepit devices, while Tor the rest
suficed pitchforks, axes. cuogoS,
scythes, and even bows and arrows
such as were used by the Indians OF
antiquity, and, still preserved as heir
looms and curiosities in many homes
and public buildings.
The episode which has finally I'M
pelled all the people of this region 10
concerted action was the ASSASSINATION
Of six respected heads Of families some
four days ago. In each case Isolated
farm houses were attacked by the ban
dts, and the owners brutally slain be
cause they presumed to protect the
lives and property pertaining to tner
respective establishments.
Aroused at last to frenzy by this un-
paralleled outrage, the citizens nave
organized and are now combing every
part Of the mountains where these hu-
man wolves have their dens, with the
firm resolve to exterminate every vestige
of the species. No quarter WILL be
shown, and the fact that the outlaws,
for the most part, are better armed, and
better trained for martial pursuits tnan
their opponents, are advantages Whlcn
will afford them no greater security IN
the ultimate acts Of this drama, Tor the
defenders have all the power and In.
spiration of right and justice back OF
them, and are resolved to abate no iota
Of their campaign until the last one OF
these bloodthirsty wretches has fallen
prone In the dust.
II necessary, some OF the machine
guns and light field pieces recently re-
stored to the government by the North
American Marines will be requisitioned
for the contingencies Of the occasion,
should the resistance Of the bandits
against the enraged citizenry be more
formidable than is expected.
