HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
The ancient city of Belgrade now
held by the Austrians host, is «
military stronghold which for maio
eonturios has been -known as th«.
city of sieges. Ia days goue by Aus
tia lost and won Belgrade severai
times. So often has Belgrade
changed its master from Hun
Sarmatiun, Goth, Turk, Austrian
Bulgarian to Servian" that it has
earned its warlike title.
In the third century before Chrisi
Belgrade was fortified by the Celts
Then the city was called Singdiuni
um, by which name it was known
until the seventh century A. D
From the fourth century to the
sixth century Belgrade was held ii:
turn by various nations until Em
peror Justinian made it a Romai
stronghold. In the eighth centurj
it was captured by the Franks, ant
a hundred y»ars later the Bulgarian
took possession. Two centuries lat
er it was conquered by Basil li
the Bysantine emperor. In 112-1
the Hungarians took it from t!i<
Greeks, from which time it changet
hands frequently, Greeks, Hungar
ians and Bulgarians taking turns
in holding it. >■
In 1427, having gained coiuroi 01
Belgrade, tha Servians were forced
to cede It to Hungary. In 14 56 the
Turks, who called Belgrade "Darol
1-Jehad," or the "home of the wan
for faitb," sought to storm it, but
were completely routed by the Hun
garian leaders, John Hunyadi and
John Capistran, the fighting monk,
In 1521 Sultaa Suleimau captured
the city and held it as a Turkish
stronghold until 1688, when the
Austriaus took it, only to lose it
two ywirs later. In 1717 the Aus
trians, under Prince Eugene of
Savoy, agaUi took Belgrade and
kept it until 1729, when the Turks
were again, victorious. The Turks
held the Servian city until 178»,
when the .\ust_rians carried it by
assault, losing it again three years
later. In 1807 the Servians swept
the Turkish garrison out of the city
and kept It for six years, when
the Turks came back again.
Until 1862 the Turks kept a gar
rison in Belgrade. When Prince
Michael of Servia threatened war
the lowers brought pressure to bear
on Turkt?y and the garrison was
withdrawn. Since then Belgrade
has been a Servian possession. Its
streets are as familiar to the Aus
trian arms as they are to Servian,
and its latest experience is but an
Incident in its war-filled history.
Are the army worms dying or
only forgotten?
Even timid underwriters might
insure p§ace In Ulster now.
Great armies are in motion pain
fully near the Peace Palace at The
Hague.
The state of strict neutrality is
much jnore easily desired than at
tained or maintained.
Isn't it in order for the Buddh
hists to send missionaries to
Christian Europe.
August is ending in Skagway with
beautiful weather. Nature, at least,
is at peace.
Nevtr did a war extend so far
up and down—all the way from
aeroplanes to submarines.
"Efficiency first" is the motto
of the German government iu war.
The neutrality of little statee be
comes of only academic interest.
St. Petersburg recently announc
that the Russian, forces had "estab
lished contact" with the enemy in
Poland. They did that with the
Japs in Manchuria.
Did they have seventeen-year
locusts with. "W" on their wings
in Europe, too?
Tho boldest and wildest sooth
sayer never ventured to predict
such things of 1914.
I£ the events o£ this year put
new force into the "Asia lor the
Asiatics" agitation in India, can
any body blame the natives?
Prize fighters and princes are
volunteering in France, end the
former are taken but the latter re
jected. Very twentieth ceutury.
How many days have gone by
since the most interesting inter
national combats were fought in a
"ring" twenty-four feet square?
Perspective is a great factor in
human affairs. A fight or even a
near-fight on a ball field can still
hide a great battle in Europe.
And yet no power in Europe
cares To accept the responsibility
for war. They all have ideals and
all think of tho judgement of his
tory.

Troop II, Cth U. S. Cavalry; Camp
McCoy. Sparta. Wis. — "I was troubled
with psoriasis for nearly two years. Por
tlons of my arms and limbs
ware affected mostly with It.
It appeared In scaly form,
breaking out In very small
dots and gradually grew
larger and white scales formed
when about tho size of an
ordinary match-head. Tho
looks of It was horrible, which
made it very unpleasavit for
me. It itched a little at timoa.
!'I tried several remedies, but tho troubla
seemed to grow worse Instead of hotter, and
I tried several treatments which cured mo
for a month, but it always broko out again.
One day a friend saw tho advertisement of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment in the paper
and I sent for a sample. They helped me, so
I purchased two more boxes of Cuticura
Ointment and somo Cuticura Soap and
they completely curod me. It took threo
months for Cuticura Soap and Ointment
to complete my cure." (Signed) Walter
Mahony, Oct. 22. 1912.
Although the Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment are most successful in the treatment of
affections of the skin, scalp, hair and hands,
they are also most valuable for everyday use
In the toilet, bath and nursery, because they
promote and maintain tho health of the skin
and. hair ftora infancy to age. Sold every
