C., and who evi dently was a pacifist, gave birth to a sentiment regarding war which many today believe, when he said: "We arrest those guilty of manslaughter and execute murderers when they take life, but the public slaughter of whole nations by soldiers under uni formed generals makes these men national heroes." Since the first men lived, those who followed them have engaged in improving and devising en gines of war to confute, confound and destroy their enemies. From the days of the club, to bombs and deadly gases, the perfecting of machines and methods to de stroy humanity has steadily pro gressed. Even animals have been called upon to aid man in his attempts at conquest. When that famous sea buccaneer, Morgan, attacked Panama, then under the domain of Spain, with the purpose of capturing the place and looting it of its great horde of golden trea sure, the Hildalgo commander attempted to rout him by releas ing several thousand enraged wild bulls, which he chased toward the invading host. Morgan stampeded the steers against the Spanish troops, who retreated and finally surrendered. He then sacked the treasury and the churches and obtained the greatest financial prize of his ca reer—due chiefly to the stamped ed cattle—for his piratical crew were outnumbered twenty to one by the garrison they attacked. During the World War, the German troops in East Africa, about 10,000 men, held off the Allies' armies, whose combined strength was approximately 300,- 000, by the aid of bees and horn ets who were stirred into action by electric buzzers inserted in their nests, the current being turned on when troops and pack trains with supplies approached through the dense jungle trails. Virgil and Pliny also speak of the soldiers of their day employing bees to help them attack be leaguered garrisons. One of the earliest patents ever granted took advantage of the bees' natural hatred for intrud ers. In 1326, A. D., Edward II of England issued letters patent to one of his couriers for a device mounted on a movable base pro vided with small wheels and hav ing an upright thereon, contain ing arms "like unto ye windmille arms, ye said arms being provid ed with mean for ye holdying of bee-hives at ye ends." When this engine of war was moved toward a wall or fortress, the windmill arms were rotated by a belt driven by a hand wheel, and the angry bees ejected from their homes, swarmed over ob structions and city walls and at tacked the defenders. This strange device is credited with having routed many soldiers, capturing cities, and bringing numerous victories to the Eng lishmen. Above the Hullabaloo | By LYTLE HULL THEORETICAL UNION Volumes are , being written about a theoretical union of the two great Democracies the United States and the British Empire. The arguments pro and con are many and Varied. A strong point advanced in favor of such a union is that these two forces could never be defeated in a long war even if the British Islands were succes sively invaded. Also that com mand of the seas by this far flung empire, which would em brace two hundred million mem bers of the white race alone, would eventually force an equit able peace in this present war. These arguments certainly "hold water," for this combina tion would be so geared, even at its inception, that it would be completely se 1 f-sufficient, and with its ijatural and mechanical resources could dominate every thing not actually attached to the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. Control of these va rious sources of supply would probably in the end compel the Axis powers to talk peace on REVOLVING BRUSH MODEL ' f ... ft n/%V AI £ KOYALS H F ° R LESS THAN THE PRICE OF ONE!

If and when this state of affairs came about, It is al most a foregone conclusion that the governments of the Axis pow ers would be thrown out, and Democracy might get a chance in their stead. It is a pretty picture and it is a possibility. But those opposed to union of the two powers con tend that all this can as readily be accomplished under the pres ent arrangement. They say that even the moral effect of a "Union" would carry no more weight than does the present un official alliance. That we could extend no more aid to Britain than we are doing and that if we placed ourselves officially in the war, the American people would demand all our military manu factures for the defense of our own country until such time as we were ourselves fully armed; with the * result that Britain might in the meantime be de feated for lack of fighting ma terial. The Antis argue such a union should not be eevn con sidered in time of stress. War is a transient evil. The harm it does Is even greater than any statistician can estimate. But somehow or other we pull through wars and live to attempt another readjustment by another war in another few years. A union, such as is proposed, would be perma nent. Its benefits and its evils would be with us always. There fore, a matter of such utterly vital importance should be dis cussed only during times of peace when the minds of men are free from the abnormal emotions and the discolored hysteria of war. The American Antl argues that the British politician and busi ness man is smarter and more versed in diplomatic affairs than is the American. The result would be that in v a few years' time this country would be right back on the same old Colonial basis of pre-Revolutionary days. The British Anti claims that our preponderance of white popula tion would put us in control of the union. The American rebuts with the sly hint that Britain would manage somehow to ring in her Colonial voters of what ever color. The American Anti—and this is one of his best arguments objects to our marrying all the involvements and war-engender ing entanglements of the British Empire. The Pro agrees with this and qualifies his argument with the condition that the British would have to withdraw entirely from the Continent and restrict her political activities to the lands and people of the pro posed union. The Antis say— "You don't know the British." The people say nothing—but they would say a "mouthful" if this suggestion ever crystallized into an active political issue. Take your choice. It makes good conversation material when one runs out of gossip about the latest filth and garbage which certain noble political workers ■■lorrf-EMii mil ByEUc I¥■l hi \ M Pharmacy iP (colX>\j,\H UIIU V W * WT \ f SEP' WvoT'.
