A USELESS WAR.
ITPI .BHK hnvo been wnrs nnd wnrs
H In tho history of tho world, nnd
A most of them hnvo had n reason.
Rut the present European war has
two marked characteristics. First. It
bids fair to bn the most expensive,
and the most destructive war ever
Jnown.
Second, It Is nil about nothing at
all.
It Is tho nutflamliig of a gunpowder
magazine Into which some unreless
one hns dropped a match.
It Is as causelesH as n free fight
imong drunken loafers In a mining
camp. I
Nat ono of the emperors, diplomats, I
historians, editors nor any other,
learned or high placed man Is able
to allege any cause which Is not ab
surdly Insufficient for so niont a com
bat. Thoro have been wars of religion.!
as botween .lew and Philistine. Turk,
and Christian. Protectant and Cat ho-
lie; and If theho were reprehensible
thev wore at least understandable.

French and Kiu.bl.in and co-mingled

There hnve been rebellions, ns in
our own wins of independence and se
cession, as In the present Mexican Im
broglio; but In Europe no people Is
ndeavoring to throw off tho yoko of
its masters nor of nn alien people.
Germany, Austria, Russia, England
and Franco have sprung Into tho are
na, each screaming out that tho other
iellow began R, each londod down
with arms and troops, yot claiming n
desire only to keup the neaco.
Thoy all solemnly swear they nro
on the defenblvoj nnd they aro all
trying to strike the first offensive
blow. I

compelled to state calmly whnt they

could agree upon an Issue that was

Litcrnl Text of Kxnrt Language J
I sod by Famous (.cnci-m
"I confess without shame
thnt 1 am tired nnd sick of

shine. Even success the most
brilliant Is over dead and man
gled bodies, the anguish nnd
lamentations of distant fam
ilies appealing to me for miss
ing sons, husbands nnd fathers.
It Is only those who have not
heard n shot nor heard tho
shrieks and groans of the
wounded and lacerated that cry
aloud for more blood, moro

thnt frantic efforts wore bolng mnde
to mulct n crushing blow to the al

Notwithstanding tho success of the
German soldiers there Is n feeling
among them thnt they nre fighting
against too grent odds, Despite nil
efforts to conceal the news from
Prussia, It Is said Information of a
disquieting chnrncter regarding de
velopments there Is beginning to cir

this feeling of anxiety was Intensi

THE
In Peace and War Modern
Methods and Weapons
Win
To send an army into action equipped with the
weapons of fifty years ago would be to send it to
quick destruction. .
To trv to do modern business, nowadays, 011 tne
lines that were usual fifty years ago is equal tolly.
PiftY years ago the muz.le-loading rifle wastlio
vogue." Today, not oven squirrel hunters use it. in
modern warfare it would be little better than n
club. ,,
Fifty years ago business was conducted on t no
muzzle-loading plan. If a man sought work, no
walked about asking his friends to look out for an
opening for him. Tf a man wanted to sell real es
tate, he placarded it. Tf he sought tenants, lie
placed a card in the window of tho vacant prop
erty. , .. ., .,
All that constituted "muzzle-loading publicity
Today, quick-firing publicity is tho vogue.
The Times classified advertising gives to yom
proposition quick-fire publicity.
Using it you are on an equal footing with yom
competitors. Neglecting it, and reverting to muzzle-loading
publicity, you have no competitne
chance at all.
