<>u the frontier of Badsn. There were
530,000 men under arms by August 1.

contest is rapidly coming to a close,
and Judge Vinson is redoubling hts

WAR FACTS
OTHER WARS
When the Mongols came down in
their flights from the northeast to the
south and southwest they left ruin in
their path. Rut on either side of their
path there was no disturbance.
As these millions of men crowded
down one valley the herdsmen in the
next valley beyond the parallel moun
tain tended their flocks, at peace with
themselves and with the world.
The Mohammedan wars desolated
Eastern Asia and Northern Africa and
scarred Southeastern Europe and
Spain. The rest of Europe and the
rest of Asia gave them no thought. I
A till® was called thfc scourge of
God. It was said that the grass never

of territory which he and his hordes
desolated.
The wars of the Crusaders were
expeditions confined to a small area
In Southern Europe and Palestine. The
later flood of Mohammedan invasion
spent itself before it reached Vienna.
The wars of the reformation for the
most part involved Western Europe.
The business 6f war in the seven
teenth and eighteenth eenturjes was
conducted without disturbing the rou
tine of commerce and agriculture.
Opposing generals became so polite
that they notified one another when
they would he ready to fight. Armlea
went Into winter quarters. To sur
prise in the winter was considered to
be highly unethical.
Napoleon fought over Western Eu
rope, but only a thin line penetrated
Russia. On tba return that line was
obliterated.
During the Napoleonic wars Asia
and Africa pursued the even tenor of
their ways. In these countries the
Muezzin called to prayer every even
ing and gave no thought to what
might be going on at Austerlltz or at
Waterloo.
At that time America’s commerce
was small. We did not need much
money. When our people were hard
pressed they merely moved into the
woods and killed more bears and deer.
They wore their homespun two years
Instead of one.
When one gives a careful measure

sal damage that has already been
done by this week's threat of a col
lision between Russia and Germany.
CAUTION.
A Pennsylvania farmer was the owner
of a good Alderney cow. A stranger,
having admired the animal, asked the
farmer: “What will you take for your
cow?”
The farmer scratched hts head for a
moment, and then said: “Look a-here,
be you the tax assessor or has she been
killed by the railroad?”—The Argonaut.
