JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS
Are we not jumping at con
clusions when we say that . the
Russians and Japanese are do
ing the hardest and most fearful
fighting the modern , world has
witnessed. In the operation
that terminated with the cap
ture of Mukden, the chfef city of
Manchuria, by the Japanese,
there were 860,000 fighting men
engaged from Eeb 24 to March
10 in one continuous battle,
with a resultant toss aggregat
inz ISC.CCO iuou juiied and
wounded, a loss of not quite 19
per cent of the fighters.
In the war of the rebellion in
the battle of Antietam in which
93.000 men were engaged, the
aggregate loss of both sides was
18,910 or 21.4 per cento! the
combatants. In the battle of
Ohicamauga there were 107,000
men engagod with a resultant.
loss of 83,655, being 31.45 per
cent of the forces engaged. In
the four battles between the
Unionists and Confederates in
the Civil war, Antietam, Chica
uaaugaj Gettysburg and Shilo,
the contending armies repre
sented 460,000 fighting men and
the total losses footed up 124,014,
a loss of nearly 27 per cent of
the troops engaged.
In the battle of Waterloo there
were 339,259 men engaged with
a resultant 'loss of killed and
wounded of 47,976, a per cent of
oss of 14 14.
During the war of the Rebell
ion, the Library of Universal
Knowledge, vol IVY P"g 483,
gives: "The number , of Union
soldiers in the field during "the
war at 2,666,999. Of these
there were killed iu action or
died of wounds, 5221 commiss
ioned officers and 90,868 enlist
ed men, a .total of 96,089, and
2,312 commisioned offioers
and .182,329 enlisted .; men
died from disease or ac
cident" Footing up the above
figures shows the total deaths ofj
Union soldiers, during the war,
was 280,730, or more than ten4
per cent of the number appear
ing on the muster rolls during
the war. . .
Had the portion of killed and
wounded been the same in the
operations about Mukden as ' in
the battle of Ohicamauga in the

FAMINE IN IRELAND
Again wprd comes from Ire
land that the people are starv
ing. . A short rpotatoe crop in
that f island means death to
thousands, and the last crop was
short. .
' Seven yesrs ago the suffering
among the Irish people for
want of food was terrible. Old
people remember the great Irish
famine of 1845-6-7 in which 1,
250,000 people miserably per
ished of starvation because of
the successive failure of the
potatoe crop. While Irish
people in all countries but in
home island were rejoicing in
St. Patriot's' Day, there the
dread shadow of another famine
darkens the land. Ireland has
la mild climate and fertile soil,
yet no part . of the civilized
world has to suffered for food
within recent years. Wheat,
cats, barley, beans and peas grow
there but by a strange fatality
the Irish farmer place his chief
reliance for food upon' potatoes
and when that crop fails there is
death . from starvation .
The 244,451 acres of wheat
grown in Ireland , produced 4,-
475,512 bushels of wheat in 1871
an average of 18 bushels per
acre.
Ireland seems to need a re
vival in Farmer's Institute work.
The rain last evening has in
creased the wealth of this valley
many thousand dollars. More
will follow and there will be a
still greater increase. The
climate in this valley can always
be depended upon. It is folly
to worry about the weather in
this county because .the right
thing is sure to happen at the
right time.
