The Wickedest, Most Unbeliev

From Current Opinion.
The first two months of the Ea
ropean war seem to have justified
all the feelings of horror witn.
which such a combat has been
looked forward to by a shudde
ing world for the last forty years.
The crash of great armies has been
unprecedentedly terrific. Millions
of men have been actively engag
ed in slaughtering each, other. One
nation alone Austria-IIungary--
is" reported to have lost, in killed

Wben Curtain is Lifted Facts Will
Stagger the World.
"It is not war, it is a holocaust.
The greatest slaughter the world 's
history has Known is going on be
hind that censorship curtain in
France. When the world learns
of the price that has been paid it
will be staggered, sick at heart. ' '
In those words Rev. James
Malloy summed up the European
war when he landed at New York
on the 25th ult., according to a
press dispatch - from New York.
For two weeks and five days he
was on the actual firing line. He
acted as chaplain, attached to
Gen. French's personal headquar

mans upon a British position like
a "moving forest" this eye-wi'-ness

ed would squirm out of the masses
of the dead and try to go on and
then it became necessary to shoot
them again! The sights that I saw
there showed me conclusively that
this was not war but a terrible ho
locaust, and that the cost in hu
man lives would be almost impos
sible of comprehension. Slaugh
ter with the rifles was varied with
organized killing with the cold
steel .
"Where the British have an ad
vantage in their rifle fire, some
thing the Germans seems unable
to master, the German shell fire
is tremendous. It is hard to de
scribe. t There is a small hill hiii
with ; a company of British sol
diers intrenched on it. A German
aviator flies over their heads. Ite
signals the range. A number of
shells are dropped. They explodo;
the hill has disappeared, and in
its place is agreat hole filled with
dead men. Their trenches hav3
been their gravves.
"One notable thing about this
modern war is the large propor
tion of wounded over the dead.
The modern rifles are humane. I
have seen many men wounded in
what ordinarily have been consid
ered vital spots, taken to hospitals
and noted back on the. firing line
in a week."

the best doctor in the State held out
no hope for my recovery. I suffered
from rheumatic twinges throughout
my body, and was nervous and didn't
sleep well. The kidney; secretions ;
were scanty and scalding in passage,
and caused me much distress. A
friend finally' advised me to try Doan's ,
Kidney Pills and although I had but
little faith in them I began using
them. In a few days I felt better. I ;

"Their trenches on this line are
wonderful works of art. Dug to a

and protected in many cases with
layers of reinforced concrete. This
work was executed by a forced
labor of the inhabitants to form i

This is the twenty.seventh of the
