jur American NK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Mar. 5, 1908. About Armies and Navies. There is a decided difference of op inion among good Americans concern ing the necessity of keeping up the strength of the army and constructing a navy second iu power to that of Great Britain aloue. Some declare ttiat proper regard for the nation's dignitv demands a considerable army and a specially powerful navy. Others affirm that no nation means togo out of its way to harm us and that respect for the traditions of the fathers re quires that we avoid complications with Old World powers and decline to follow the advice of those who would make us a military nation. Whatever oonrgess may do eventual ly, it threatened to adopt a course to please the peace men, at least so far as the army is concerned. It hesitated about increasing the pay of non-com missioned officers and privates, al though the statement has been made bv eminent officers that the army is in somo of its branches a mere shell and that it is likely to remain stich unless there is a material increase in the pay of the common soldier. It is true that a period of hard times will help the recruiting business, for many young men who find themselves out of em ployment will be tempted to enlist. But hard times will build no war ships. And the hard times aro net likely to last. The friends of peace claim that war- i like preparations do not accord with , the principles of the Christian relig- ■ ion. They remind us that its founder : is called the Prince of Peace. They i tell us that he camo to convert spoars j into ii"iniug hooks and swords into j pluj ares. And they insist that j men v. advocate the enlargement of nn.vies the strengthening of armies are not true Christians. But the oth er side retorts that bad as war is it is always followed by the world's better ment. They declare that the battle is j the forerunner of civil freedom. They j tell us that the strong nations of the j world,the civilized nations,the Christ- j ian nations, have the most formidable armies and the strongest navies and that they command and preserve the peace by reason of their constant pre paredness to resent insults. It seems to be pret*y certain that the j aggressive part of the country is much i more numerous that the advocates of | non-resistance. Very few men and wo- j men have yet reached that state of Christian perfection which would en able them to turn the other cheek to the enemy who struck them or to walk two miles with the strong man who compelled them togo on with him or ] to hand over the cloak to tho robber j who had appropriated the coat. And since a nation is the sum of its in dividual units, it is quite clear that no country that is strong enough to resent an affront by an appeal to arms would hesitate about war, no mat ter what the Christian profesison of its people or its rulers. We are not there to explain the apparent differ ence between Christian profession and practice; we will not undertake to eay why most Christians regard Tols toy, the apostle of non-resistance, as a lunatic; we merely note the fact. Better Pay for Soldiers. There will lie less complaint of trou ble in obtaining army recruits when the men are paid a decent salary, and aocorded better treatment. Against the contention that the American sol dier ought to be better paid it had been asserted that he was the best paid soldier iu the world. But Major John H. Beaoom, formerly military attache of the American embassy at London, demonstrated that the British is bet ter paid than the Amerioau soldier. Only the Briton can be used for pur poses of comparison, jis Britisii and American army conditions are very similar, while continental conditions differ greatly from both, continental service being compulsory and com pensation cutting little figure. Major Eeaeom's report shows that the British private iu his first year re ceives $12.95 a month, as against 513 paid to the American private; but as the rank and length of service increase the proportion becomes reversed and en atly disproportionate, so that the I British regimental sorg-nnt major ro- j ceives $71.35 a month, as agninst ¥4O . paid to tlio American of like rank, while the private in his third year re ceives from the British government .$18.85 and from the American govern ment sl4. With reuard to the cost of living hero and in Great Britain, Jiiij or Beacom demonstrates that it is as 10 to 9 in favor of the British soldier. Taking into consideration all factors, including cost of living,he shows that the financial- condition of first-year privates in the American and British armies is as 18 to 14, tliat in the third year this becomes 14, for the Ameri can and 20 for the Briton, while for the regimental sergeant major it is 40 for the American and 7!l for the Brit on. In the readjustment of the pay of the American soldier the proper compar ison is not of American 'with foreign army pay tables, but of our own army pay tables with the rates of wages of American skilled labor. The govern ing purpose should be to make the pay of the American soldier approximate the wages of the intelligent American workman. Representatives of various American cities are showing their faith in the fair promise of the future by holding a "Prosperity" convention in Balti more this week. THE STATE'S FISH PRODUCTION There are gome changes in the me thol of compiling aiiuual reports iu that just prepared by Fish Commis sioner Meehau. Tables have been strickeu out wherever possible or re duced to the very smallest dimensions. Iu other places the commissioner has had the superintendents of the hatch eries expand their reports to him BO as to explain the methods iu ilsh cul tural work pursued during the year and the commissioner himself in his portion views the entire work of fish hatching. The report shows a very large amount of work done. There are eight hatch eries from which'there were distribut ed nearly 670,000,000 fish,of which ov er 800,000,000 were food fish exclusive ly, like the'white fish, lake herring, shad and yellow perch, and about 9.- 000,000 purely game fish, like trout and bass,and abont 850, - 000,000, whioh are classed as both food and game fish, like the"wall-eyed||pike and pickerel. Eggs taken from the State hatcheries last year produced 6,- 000,000 young fish. The stock was so the yield next autumn should lowiug"year. Surprise Paity.

"The usefulness of the czar's chief of police depends on his amount of suspicion and his alertness in putting It Into active use," says Thomas Ste vens in a book entitled "Through Russia on a Mustang." "It Is suspicion every where. "For several weeks," says the au thor, "I was thrown In daily Intimate contact with Sasclia, my traveling companion. He was a transparent, warm hearted young fellow, but from first to last he never ceased to regard me with suspicion. "At one village he lost his passport. Ten hours later after I had bribed an official to let him proceed he confessed in a burst of confidence that he had believed I had destroyed the passport in order to get rid of him. All day he had nursed his suspicion, unsuspected by me, until 1 had unwittingly cleared myself by my bribe to the police. "Among the peasants suspicion takes curious forms. In a general way I was always under the ban of distrust. By the men I was regarded as a seereJ agent of the government, by the wom en as a wizard. The host of an inn always watched me closely to see that I did not clear out and leave him un paid. He would even give sly peeps Into my room at night. "I was always being suspected of trying to pass counterfeit money. " 'What makes them so long with the change?" I asked Sascha once. "'They are afraid the money bad.' " 'Well, the change Is only 30 ko pecks. We will not wait any longer.' " 'That would never do. Then they will be sure it is bad.' "Thi l length of time I was kept wait ing for change for a receipt depended on the denomination of the bill. For a two ruble note the host would be satis fied with the verdict of two or three other capable financiers. A five ruble note meant extraordinary precautions and consultations with half the experts of the village." Every great crisis develops some master mind as well as a multitude of surprises.

ORE HUnDRrD SCHOOL CHILDREN BHIFVFD TO HAVE BURNID TO DEATH CLEVELAND, Ohio. March 4. Over 100 children are believed to have lost their liveß in a fire which destroyed the North Collinwood school this morning Thirty bodies have al ready been taken out. Firemen are working to take out the other bodies, before the crumbling walls fall in Private homes near the scene have been converted into temporary mor gues. Children's bodies are being car ried into them by dozens. It will be impossible to fix the total number of dead until a house to house canvass has been completed. A list of known dead is but partial. Some estimates place the number of dead at 150. PILE OF DEAD BODIES. A great pile of bodies is at what was the front, door of the building. Moth ers, friends and firemen aie tugging away at the heap of debris in an un organized search for bodies. Only three walls of the three story building are standing. In the enclosure Cleve land and Collinwood firemen are work ing, in danger of instant death in case of the remaining walls fall. The fire started at 10:80. It was caused by an overheated furnace and the flames were first seen in the basement. Jan itor Fritz, Hoe. ire turned in the alarm. LITTLE ONES STRICKEN. There were probably 310 childreru in the building at the moment. Classes were reciting. Up in the third floor, the attic, the smallest ones were at work. Miss Anna Morau, principal, was in her ollice on the second floor when the sharp alarm rang out. She rushed to {lie door. Down the hall long lines of children were marching iu straight lines. Their teacheis were beside them. Some cf the iill 1h ones were laughing. They thought it was a fire drill. At the lower floor they saw flames shooting np from the base ment. They screamed and there was a rush for the front door. It opened toward and the mass pi led against it. Miss Catherine Wilcr, second grade teacher, who was on tho second floor, tried to keep* her children in line. When the rush began she leaped into JUNIOR AERO CLUB.

Miss Grace Fisk, a third grade tpacher, tried also to stop the rush. She was badly crashed. ESCAPED BY WINDOWS. The vanguard of the dreadful rusli jammed against the big door. Those behind pushed in. The first of the lit tle bodies were crushed into almost unrecognizable masses. One little lad leaped up and walked over the tangled heap of bodies to safety. Others tried to follow. They piled up higher and higher until they suffocated. Those nearest the door were not burned to death. They were either crushed in the panic or suffocated. Out off froia escape by the mass of bodies at the fiout door the children on the second and third floors tried the windows. The smallest ones, who were reciting in the attic rooms, were carried down the (ire escape to safety. The others too late, opened the windows and screaked for help. By this time the Oolliuwood fire department was ou the scene. They found their ladders were insufficient to reach the third floor. The children were trapped without hope of escape. The little ones went insane with fear and ran down the stairs until they met the onsweeping flames, and perished. The flames then mounted to the third floor. The flrst and second floors foil away. At 11 :30 ouly the walls cf the building were left stand ing and the screams of the helpless, trapped children died away. MOTHERS GREW FRANTIC. Outside were the mothers. They I"*' 1 come wheu the news had flashed through the little city. Hundreds of relatives, brothers, sisters and friends thronged the little schoolyard and the street. The mothers plugged into the heap of bodies with the firemen and frantically tugged at the blackened charred forms. All the houses nearby were thrown open for temporary mor gues. The Source of Life. In paleozoic times it was the earth itself, not the sun, to which plant and animal primarily stood beholden for existence. This gives us a most in structive glimpse into one jtiauetologic process. To the planet's own internal heat is due the chief fostering of the beginnings of life upon its surface. Thus a planet is capable of at least beginning to develop organisms with out more than a modicum of help from the central sun. We talk of the sun as the source of life, and so it is today in the sense of being its sustalner, but the real source was the earth Itself, which also raised it through its baby hood.—Professor Lowell'*-"The Evolu tion of Life" in Century Magazine. Ancient Posters. It Ls probably the general impression that posters and handbills are modern Inventions, but it has been discovered that the ancient Romans practiced this method of advertising. In digging at Ilereulaneum there was brought to light a pillar covered with bills, one on top of another. The paste used to stick them was made of gum arable. The bills, when separated and examined, were found to be programmes and an nouncements of public meetings and even election proclamations. Hopelessly Insolvent. "So Meier has gone to smash, 1 hear."

The colt a year old, is standard bred and is so highly prized by the owner that he determin ed to resort to extreme measures to save the animal. He accordingly gent for Veterinarian J. J. Kline, of this city, who on Sunday successfully "re duced the fracture. Ordinarily when a horse breaks a leg it means the death of the animal. The attempt to save the horse by reducing the fracture and relying upon the bones knitting is attended with much uncertainty and after any amount of labor and anxiety and much suffering on the part of the dumb animal the operation may prove a failure and the horse may have to be hilled in the end. Under the circumstances except when the horse is young and possesses more than an ordinary value and the fracture occurs where it can easily be treated any attempt to save the horse is considered out of the question. W. F. Slagle lives in Bloomsburg, but the colt whose leg is broken is kept on Hagenbuch's farm some three ! miles beyond Light Street. Dr. Kline ! in response to a hurry call went up to i Bloomsburg Sunday forenoon and was j driven out to the HageHbuoh farm. He found the injury to consist of an ob lique fracture of the long pastern bone of the right hind leg. The auimal was suffering intense pain and refused to ! eat. Tlie colt had been kept in a box stall and a board, broken loose some dist ance from the grouud.showed how the injury had been sustained. The operation of reducing the frac ture in a horse's leg differs little from the setting of a broken bone in the limb of a human being In the first place there had to be several strong men on hand to hold down the animal, wliioh lay on its side. After the bone was set the latter was held in place with sole leather splints bound with starch bandages and these reinforced with hickory splints bound with stout straps. After the operation the colt seemed relieved of pain aud standing on three feet began to eat. All the conditions are so favorable that Dr. Kline feels confident that the animal will come out all right. Although the colt may be able to stand on its leg iu three months time it will take it from six montliß to a year to fully recover. Among the horses seen on our streets is a valuable animal owned by Edward Bogart of this county, which sustain ed a fracture when four years old, but which fully recovered afterjhaving the bone set by Dr. Kline and given treat ment similar to what is being done in the case of Mr. Slagle's colt. NEW LAW WORKS fIANY HARDSHIPS Being Sunday, March Ist, all slow freight crews between Sunbury and Honey Pot on the local division of the Pennsylvania railroad, were compel led to lay over at Honey Pot for eight hours before making the return trip. This is because the new eight hour law, which went into effect ou that day, states that trainmen shall be on the road no longer than nine hours and shall not start out again without taking a rest ef eight hours. Few railroads men are in favor of the law.as it prevents them from mak ing as high wages as they have made in the past. The same inconvenience will be ex perienced ou the other divisions, aud a general re-adjustment in the man agement of freight traffic will probab ly be made by the company to meet new conditions. Commencing March 1, all yardmas ters on the system having charge of the running of trains went on an eight hour shift, as they come under the eight hour law as well as the train men.
