THK HORSE SCVKKS
Breeders and lovers of horses
would t>e more or les® than
human if the/ did not smile, now
and then, as they read ol the very
noteworthy part whic]; cavalry is
playing la the great war. The
Mews of every day la the best pos
tiblo answer to those who have
predicted that mechanical appli
ances and inventions w®u'd make
the horse practically obsolete in
battles and campaigns.
It understates the truth to say
that no far thq horse has been a
much more important factor in the
war than the aeroplane, the dirigi
ble balloon, the submarine and the
torpedo boat, all takeu together,
la fact the success of the German
forces in Belgium has plainly been
due, in large measure, to the re
markable activity and strength of
their cavalry. The mounted sol
diers ot the Kaiser have kept the
^movements of their own infantry
well screened. They have cleared
the roads of small detachments of
the enemy and disclosed tho posi
tion ot strong bodies, well en
trenched. Noticing less has been
able to stop them. From the first
the dash, speed and power of at
tack shown by the Uhlans have
been a revelation to those who
have said that the world was near
ly ready to dispense with the
horse.
Evidently, war will have to go
first. In the light of current events
it is plain that no mechanical de
vice is yet in sight which will ma
terially lessen the Independence ot
armies upon their horsemen for »b"
solutely necessary service.
CANNOT COCNX MUCH
It Japan -were going into war
where the power of that for
midable nation could be used the
consequence of the course decid
ed upon by the Japanese govern
ment would be momentous. Then
the cause of Germany and Austria
Hungary .would be practically hope
less, They could not overcome
the addition to their f°es of an
army of the Japanese quality whici
might easily exceed 1,000,000 in
uumerical strength. That would
make the odds too great.
But the little brown soldiers
who are patient under privation,
absolutely obedient to their offi
cers, able to live on small and un
certain rations aud fight with the
contempt of death which charac
terize Turks or Arabs in a re
ligious fervor, while they still keep
calm and steady and us« their
weapous with scientific skill, are
not to be seen in Europe. They
will have little to do near home
and when it is done they will be
through with the war.
The Japanese ships will also con
fine their work to the Pacific and
chiefly to the waters not far from
their own islands. They cannot
affect the conditions existing and
destined to exist in Europe. In
the chosen field of acticn for the
Mikado's forces, on land and sea,
the Japanese will quickly over
whelm the resistance of the enor
mously overweighted German gar
rison in Tsing-Tau and the German
warships, outnumbered and out
classed, which are gathered in that
port. But where the crisis »f the
war is coming swiftly Japan cannot
ccunt.—Cleveland Leader.
Pleasant as the German sol
diers may have found goose
rtepping in the Brussels public
square, they expect to enjoy it
much more in the Champs Klysecs.
It is recalled that America did
not hear of the battle of Waterloo
until seven weeks afterward. Nor
has America heard bo much about
It as Englapd since.
Ju weighing Americans for iden
tification purposes, Ambassador
Pago doubtless makes allowances
for the effect of short rations.
The New York man whose jaw
was broken iu fourteen places
| must have haU a maxillary devel-y
i lament u^^sual eveu there.
By sticking continuously to their
posts of duty perhaps the con
gressmen hope to look liko men of
the hour to t,he voters hack home.
Aviators expecting <0 make
spectacular falls will not fail to
note that the news service is much
better iu this country.
If Brussels ha$ to pay the h»r
matis a $40,000,000 ransom, the
interruption of the tourist season
will be doubly regretted.
The report of his death reminds
the world that few authors have
bten as trustfully read as Mr. Karl
Baedeker
Kor the naval censorship at the
Say v ill© wireless station, a certain
appropriateness attaches to the
name of Rear Admiral William C.
Wise.
With so many crowned friends
of his engaged in the fraucas, per
haps Colonel Roosevelt would not
wish to mix iu, even for another
Nobel prize.

Lindsay. Mont. — "I started toget kreat
big blotches round my neck and I did not.
think very much about it at flrst. but they
commenced getting worse all tho tijae and
such an intense itching. It never gave me a
minute's rest. Tho plmp'os were red and
would swell. From itching, and scratching
them so it caused them to spread; there
would be sons from scratching them so
intensely. My face and neck were covered
with pimples. It looked as if my wholo
face was in one solid rash or 30re, and I was
nearly crazy with itching and burning. At
night they would be very bad so 1 hardly
could sleep. My face was. I miiit say. in
one raw sore. I nearly gavo up ail hopes of
ever getting liko myself.
"I bough: a few bottles of some good blood
medicine but without help. My poor facc
did not get any better. I had heard so much
about Cuticura Soap and Ointment I
thought I would try them. So I bought one
cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuti
cura Ointment and started to use them and
followed the directions as closely as I could

stopped the Itching and scratching and iii
a Couple of weeks' time my face was nearly
well. I kept 011 using the Cuticura Soap
