Miss Edith Durham, who had such J opportunities for observation during the Balkan war as were permitted correspondents, advanced in a London lecture, the curious theory that 1 the Red Cross prolongs the horrors of war. Her reasoning runs this way: < Thousands of soldiers wno migui ? otherwise die are preserved through Red Cross ministrations. The recov- 1 ery of thousands of sick and wound- 1 ed soldiers is hastened who might 1 / otherwise be incapaciated until after the war had been finished. These ' soldiers are returned to the ranks to ' continue fighting after the date on ' which the losses imposed by a different condition might force the end of the war through the exhaustion of , one or both sides.' If the Red Cross is in league with militarism, it is time, indeed, the alliance is dissolved by the introduction } of the universal peace era. But her's , is only an academic and rather fan- j tastic view. It is akin to the cynical " view that ameliorative agencies in- ' suring a better equipment and greater longevty in the battle for a livelihood only prolong an agony that might sooner be ended. If the Red Cross extends war's duration, then exchange of prisoners, small-caliber bullets, mercy to non- ^ combatants, bombardment of popu- . lous cities only after due notice, and other humane usages must extend it. But we know that the duration of wars has been greatly shortened since the days when helpless wounded left on the field were killed, prisoners were slaughtered as fast as taken, ' wells were poisoned, and women and children were enslaved. The Red Cross helps to restrict the vogue of war by softening ferocities of the J fight that might lead to perpetual international feuds.?St. Louis PostDispatch.

Washington, April 9.?Economies effected bv Fourth Assistant Post master General Blakeslee during the ] first year of his administration have netted the government a saving of one million dollars, according to figures announced to-day by Postmaster General Burleson. < The replacing of the old-fashioned j mail locks with new and lighter locks is said to have resulted in a saving of $200,000; $55,000 was saved by using canvas instead of leather pouches, reduction in office employees netted $143,000 and the manufacture and purchase of cancelling machines $100,000.

St. Matthews, April S.?The local ?orrespondent of The News and Courier asked Col. J. A. Banks this 1 morning for his attitude with reference to a previous Columbia interview and the positive reports of his friends that he would be in the race for lieutenant governor during the summer. He stated that he had defiTitoiv rtApidprt imt to run for that or any other State office during the approaching campaign. He wished it emphatically understood, however, that he would continue to work for the agricultural and industrial advancement of South Carolina. He feels that he can do as much or more on the floor of the senate than as . the presiding officer. Col. Banks is one of Calhoun's largest farmers, is president of the . Home Bank, St. Matthews, and the , popular senator from Calhoun coun- , ^ CLUB ABANDONS RACE MEETING. 1 1 Gov. Stuart Warned Turfmen Militia | Would be Used. ??? ?

Club to-night abandoned the spring ] race meeting, wnicn was 10 continue until April 17. Sensational raids and fines and prison terms imposed upon ; bookmakers had marked the few , stormy days the meet had been in 1 progress. . In a formal statement the officials j Df the Jockey Club announced that :hey had decided to discontinue the meet to avoid "any conflict of opinion." The statement added that if ( :he higher courts later construed the iaws so "that we can conduct racing without fostering a violation of the . laws of Virginia, we will resume: 1 otherwise the course will be perma- j aently closed." In Humorous Vein. . Gray Tunstall, city treasurer of Norfolk to-day sent the following . telegram to President Wilson: J "His Excellency, the President, ] Washington, D. C.: Should the gov- , grnor of Virginia be unable with the j State militia to break up racing in Norfolk courfty, will you not have all the 13-inch guns at Fort .Monroe deliver a broadside against the race track?

Militants Make Disturbance in Court Belfast, Ireland, April S.?Mili- < tant suffragettes created so much ] confusion and noise in police court 1 bere to-day when Dorothy Evans and < Madge Muir, officials of the Belfast i branch of the Women's Social and 1 Political Union, were brought up for i :rial, that proceedings had to be ad- ' iourned. : The two women were charged with 1 laving in their possession explosives 'or the purpose of committing a s felony. j The court was crowded with wo- i nen when the prisoners were brought ] n and. acting apparently on a signal, < :hey- raised such a din that neither j magistrate nor prosecutor could ( make himself heard. i As they were led out the two pris- < )ners shrieked that they would not j permit the holding of a court. ] The opinion was generally express- j sd that orders had been issued from ] nilitant headquarters to the suffra- ] ?ettes to create similar scenes every j time a woman was charged with a suffrage outrage. i After parsing a short period in t iheir cells. Miss Mulr and Miss Evans , were again brought into court. Both j tried to dash into the street and in j the struggle Miss Evans fainted. , When placed in the prisoner's en- 1 closure Miss Muir hurled a grip- ^ >ack at the magistrate's head and he j promptly remanded both accused in custody. I, i 1 A Golfer's Verdict. "Pop," said the son, who had cad- ^ ded one afternoon at one of the golf clubs, "is a man a pretty good golfer 1 if he knocks the ball 125 yards?" * "Just a novice, my son." ' "WpII if hp knnolcs a hall 175 1 yards is he pretty good?" 1 "Yes. pretty good, son." : "Well. pop. what if he knocks the 1 ball 250 yards?" 1 "Mighty good! He's mighty good 1 if he can do that, my boy." "Well, pop. what if he knocks it 1 275 yards?" ( "He's awful, awful good. Tommy." ( replied pop. as he once more fastened his eyes on the story of the In- 1 dian's downfall. "Well, pop. what if he knocked the 1 ball 375 yards?what would he be 1 then?" "Probably a liar, son.

One of the daintiest Paris actresses, Mile. Jeanne Provost, has set all Paris talking ^nd started a new fashion by appearing in the crowded foyer of the Theater Rejane during a dress rehearsal of "Concert." a new play, with her bare feet shod in pretty sandals which were fastened around her ankles by cross ribbons in the old Greek style.

New York, April 10.?The British oil tank steamer Ashtabula arrived to-day from Lebitos, Peru, completing the longest non-stop steam voyage on record.

She burns oil. ALL ABOUT THE BIG DITCH. Woman Didn't Require Information on the Panama Canal. ''Let me call your attention, madam," said the stranger, "to the first authentic work describing the Panama Canal, which is the greatest achievement of modern times. Every patriotic American will want to know all about the canal when it's opened for business, and this book gives every fact It is "Strongly endorsed by the vice president of the United States?" "And I suppose it's compounded of barks and buds and healing herbs," said M?rs. Curfew, with blighting sarcasm. "I don't want rour book, mister, and I don't want to stand here with the door open and a cold wind blowing over me. It's that way people catch colds which develop into bronchitis and pneumonia, and the first thing they know ahey are out in the church yard, with big white headstones over them, giving the dates of their birth and death, and concluding with a foolish epitaph. "Xo, sir, I don't want your book, even if it does contain the most wholesome ingredients. If there's Dne thing in this world that I'm not interested in it's the Panama Canal, f have no shipping that will be benefitted by it, and I don't expect to trade with the South Americans. I have a hen setting on 16 eggs in the woodshed, and that hen means far more to me than the Panama Canal. If you had a book telling how to prevent a setting hen" from leaving her nest until the eggs get cold I might buy a copy, but I don't want you to mention the Panama Canal Dr the vice president in my presence again. "If you look around you will see where the plaster has been knocked from the wall and you will notice that the hanging lamp has been broken from its hook in the ceiling, and several panes of glass are broken in the windows. No doubt you wonder what sort of a cataclysm has been loose here, and my answer is, the Panama Canal. "My husband is an excellent man, Dr I wouldn't be living with him, as [ have been for more than 30 years, Dut he has his weaknesses like all Dther men. He's always taking too much interest in public questions. I bold that poor people should have nothing to do with public questions. The best thing they can do is to saw wood. Mr. Curfew's always getting into trouble because of this. "The other day he came home with i black eye and while I was preparing a poultice for it he explained that he got into an argument with Mr Doodle about the income tax. He said that the government was nothng but a highway robber when it collected sucn a tax. .ur. uuuuic, Alio has held office most of his life, said he wouldn't stand supinely by ind hear the government abused and ie hauled off and punched Mr. Curlew in the eye and then went and lad himself interviewed by the local paper on the subject of our bulwarks ind palladiums. "If Mr. Curfew lives a thousand rears the income tax isn't going to :ake any bark off his shins, for the most he ever made was $2 a day, and t seems the height of folly for him :o go around collecting black eyes vhen he should be home gathering ip the rubbish in the back yard and getting ready for the spring garden ng. "The other evening Mr. Turpentine and Mr. Bludgeon came over to spend the evening, and they hadn't been here five minutes before they vere arguing about the Panama Canal, and you could have heard their voices in the next town, which is seven miles due south of here. Mr. Curfew insisted that the canal is nothing but a national extravagance *nd that when it's opened for business it will be run by lot of cheap politicians, at about ten times the necessary expenses, and as he argued lie shook his fist under Mr. Turpentine's nose and accidentally hit that -irean. and Mr. Turpentine broke a ?hair over his head, and then Mr. Bludgeon took a hand, and you see the results. "Mr. Curfew has been in his bed ever since, and I was afraid for a time that his skull was cracked where the hanging lamp hit him, but he seems to be mending slowly, and I just heard- from the hospital that Mr. Turpentine will be out in three days * quite free," she said to those who J questioned her. "Why should women cram them into narrow boots with four-inch heels?" Jewelers already are having the rings made for sandal wearers. Mile. Provost was the actress who launched the trouser skirt.?Paris Dispatch to New York Times. and I see .Mr. Bludgeon going around on crutches But after such an experience you can imagine that I don't want any more information about the Panama Canal."
