When it becomes apparent to one side that the other side is capable of destroy ing a city, and intends to do so, then the natural course to follow is to surrender or to evacuate that city. This procedure is as old as warfare. Some loss of life among the civilians usually oc curs before these moves are a- dopted. As to the advantage to the opposing side—imagine what Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

As a matter of . fact, more primitive flame throwers have warfare as far as history records. The use of flame is one of the most horrible of all horrible methods which we “civilized'''hu mans have invented for the pur pose of killing each other; and if its use 1 can be tabeod—as has been that of poison gas, so far, thank Heaven, in this war; that will constitute one step toward that far away Elysium which we call “civilization.” It is a horrid practice, but if one side of a con flict starts it and continues it, the other side cannot be expected to renounce its use and expose its soldiers to such a disadvan tage. The possible destruction of . Rome by bombs and artillery makes one shudder with dismay. Historical records, and the great est relics of the past which still exist must cease to be. The burn ing of the library at Alexandria —which fatal act drew a curtain ^ over most of ancient history-will - be almost unimportant by com- parison. For this act—if it is committed — this generation will bear the curses of many genera tions to follow. But suppose thou sands of lives are lost so that Rome might stand? What do^ the life of even one soldier mea i to the future—let alone to hi» mother and father? In ten gen erations that soldier’s descendants may number in the thousand :. Based upon this perfectly natural, though cold-blooded mathema 4 !- cal argument, are the relics of th-Y past of greater value than mil lions of future unborn lives? It may be argued that women bear the children—not the men. But the destruction of youth during the wars of history, is held so- countable, by many philosopher.; and scientists, for the slow prog ress which the human . being i; making toward civilization. The above questions are being agitated too frequently. There ar? too many sides to them. They cause useless friction and hard feeling — and_the military decidT them anyhow, regardless of how we feel.

It is soda you know all about— can store and handle easily—can depend on for top and side dressing. How much will there be? That’s hard to say, but last year Chile sent 1,000,000 tons to U. S. farmers and think what that would mean this year. •s j “Read ’Em and Reap’ our ads • Properly applied, 1,000,000 tons of Chilean Nitrate would produce 250,000,000 bu. oi oats or 100,000,000 bu. oi wheat; 125,000,000 bu. oi com or 4,800,000 tons oi iorage crops; 6,000,000 tons oi vegetables or 2,500,000 bales oi cotton and 1,100,000 tons oi cotton seed.
