TAKES ON NEW INTEREST
The Eastern war cloud is
again lowering over the Balkan
states, with the prospect of fierce
fighting in Serbia and Bulgaria
and perhaps other of the Balkan
states within a few days.
It looks very much as though
Bulgaria was entering the strife
for plunder, that is, to gain more
territory, and it is certainly an
ignoble purpose. War is a
horrible way of settling dis
putes nnd the pence, lives and
prosperity of a nation should not
be jeopardised unless there is
some grievous wrong to set
aright.
However, Bulgaria seems to
be divided with the government
banging to one side of the fence
and most of the people on the
other, in which case there is the
threat of disruption if a conflict
is forced upon the majority of
the people by the ruling faction
Bulgaria's fighting force is esti
mated at about 800,000 men
which will eject new vigor into
the fighting machine.
If Bulgaria enters the war that
will force Greece to help Serbia
and Rouinania has her forces
mobilized und will probubly be
drawn into the strife also.
The human being, while par
taking of the attributes of Deity,
also partakes of the animal or
carnal nature ami when the lat
ter becomes dominent to a sufli
cient degree, reason is thrown to
the winds and fear floes away,
hence, the controlling forces
that should operate for peace
and safety are powerless to act.
Mosts persons who have had
animals under their care to any
great extent know that when
they are swayed by fierce unger
nothing will stop their onrush
except to disable them or con
trol them by force, and man,
while his endowment provides
for his control, how often under
anger will do those things for
which he is afterward sorry, but
could not bo prevented from do
ing at the time of his passion.
The European question looks
much like the picture we have
portrayed, the devil is loose and
exhaustion will probably see the
end of the war.
A half billion dollars is a large
sum of money but that is the
amount raised for the Anglo
French war loan. According
to former rumor John D Rocke
feller was not going to let his
millions swell the war fund, but
according to J. P. Morgan &
Company's report, the oil king
swelled the pile 110,000,000.
John probably never made such
statement but if he did he, like
many an other man, broke his
word.
. Southern Pacific Statistics
"In the last 25 years approxi
mately 214,000 people have been
killed on the railroads of the
United States and of this number
their efforts entirely to safety
appliance legislation and have
continued to disregard the ap
peals for trespass legislation made
to them by the cemeteries and
hospitals of this country every
day or every year. A careful re
view of statistics makes the con
clusion irrestible that care in the
employment of men and require
ment of safe practices, supple
mented by trespass legislation
effectively administered, will do
more to lessen rail casualties than
all the safety devices genius has
afforded.
"The United States is the only
civilized country in the world that
has failed to legislate against
trespassing, the consequence of
which is best illustrated in com
parison with similar results in
other civilized countries where
legislation against trespass ob
tains and where the casualties
incident to trespass are very few
in comparison with the United
States."
Mr. Clancy called attention to
results of observation tests on
automobiles, teams, and pedestri
ans at railway crossings and the
importance of safety practices in
this connection.
"In 1914," he said, "at 34 dif
ferent crossings taken promis
cuously to obtain average condi
tions out of 16,482 automobiles,
17,755 teams and 54,835 pedestri
ans or a total of 89,072, with the
number of tracks at such cross
ings varying at from 1 to 15 and
the number of trains over such
crossings varying from 1 to 100,
139, or only fifteen ' hundredths
of one per cent stopped and
looked in both directions."
Superintendent W. H. Whelan
of the Los Angeles division of
the Company called attention to
the Southern Pacific expenditures
in safety work.
"The results of the company's
activities in this direction are re
flected in its accident record,"
he said. "For the month of June,
1915, fdr instance, the number of
employes injured per 1000 dropped
from 8 per cent last year to 6 per
cent this year."
