Tho American pcple whose toA'i.s have not been disturbed by an opposing army have but faint idea what it means to live in a war zone. An extract from a letter written by Capt. Robert S: Cain, Co. H. 111th Inft. is a vivid picture of what one may, see in France and Belgium: D;?cribing a trip made by himself and two other officers, Captain Cain says: "We reached a pretty deserted village, that contained, possibly, six hun dred houses not a soul of the in habitants here now. One sees a cat once i-n awhile that scurries across the road at one's approach. The population must have left the town in a hurry. Never saw so much goods scattered around in my life. Linens by the thous ands of yards and real linen, too hand woven sheets, table cov ers, full dress ' puits and bsU, grandfather clocks, gold clocks, oil paintings, silverware, etc. Here on a bureau is the lace with the needles still in it, which the industrious honsewife was mik ing; here, in a little crib is a large doll all tucked in by some little daughter, and here a Singer sewing machine with the cloth still under the needle. Of course, most of the housei had bpen ransack d; for on the fhors were just piles of clothing, china, pictures, and other gatherings of a home. O A manuscripts datirg back to the lGch and 17th cen turies. The gardens are beauti ful and at the same time pitiful. Here in tho d;:ep recesses of the kitchen windows are Ihwers in pots struggling to keep alive, and of course, slowly dying for want of watn and care. Rses every where, untended for two months now, but still blooming. In the garden are strawberries, onions and potatoes. A few are left. The American and French soldiers must eat, and, of course, I realize the fate of the chickens, geese, pigs, and cattle that the residents of the town were com pelled to leave behind them." "Well, here it is July. 2lst. First lime I have had a chance to write since the 12ih. I simply cannot write. Have been through Hell siuce that time-really can not collect my thoughts to write. I am still living and feeling well despite all things. Have looked death in the face a hurdertd times lately. I have got used to his presence. I know I can go with out anj thing to eat now for three days-no water-a regular camel and the funny part of it is, that one dues not seem to mind it so much-other things on your mind. I am living now with just what I have on, and carry on my back. Kaiser's Begiuning to ".lu'.Icr." The end of the great war soems to be in sight, but it is not over. List Saturday, Germany informed the U.iited States that it was willing to quit that it was willing to yield to the allies all the territory it had taken, and make teims of peace of course, a German peace. Presi dent Wilson informed them on Tuesday that if they really meant business they thculd not only evacuate all the territory belong ing to tho allies but that they should make arrangements to set tle the damages; and to show good faith, they bhould surrender all their important fortification0, disband their army, and turn over all their ammunition plants. Mr. Wilson proposes to let England, France and Italy, who have been the greatest sufferers in this wer, have much to say as to the condition of peace, and ti e American people will not con sent to anything short of crush ing the Hohenzollern . dynasty, and making the nation pay the last farthing for their folly.

That a high-speed bullet niny pierce a man and cuiihc him fo lit tle pain that he in uncoiiHcioiiB of lim wound lia.s Ion;,' hecn known. A dower bullet would eaiinc consider iiMe puiii and shock. Dr. George W. Crile finds an explanation of this and similar phenomena in his re searches in the evolution of actions uml respoiiHeH. The evolution of'or gaim has hecn pretty thoroughly worked out, but the evolution of functions of organs is a new thing. During the long course of develop ment of man nnd hfs ancestors swift piercing and lacralion such ns in llicled by a high-speed bullet were not encountered, and hence no pain reaction against them would evolve, while slow lacerations were most common, and the usefulness of be ing conscious of them in the keen way of pain is most evident. Such is the insensibility of tho human organism to an uncommon sort of injury that, according to Doe tor ('rile, 'a device of exquisitely slmrp knives driven at superlative high speed might cut the body to pieces without causing any pain whatever."
