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 grew' where his horses’ hoof beats were In the ground. But the grass did grow on either side of the 50-mlle atrip 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 ment to what has been done in theso paat wars one then realizes the colos 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.
