But when the deciaive blow had ap-

the Japanese,' regaining some lost
positions And capturing a number _of
guns and prisoners. Thi Japanese;

estimate is 40,000. Rath _sides suf-

fully that we copy it in full. It is

In reading- aceounts of the terrible
war new eaging in Eastern Asia, one
cannot but stop to wonder how hu-
man bodies can endure the hardships
or human minds bear the nerve-
wracking torments to width the
soldiers engaged in this very
bloody Strife are being subjected.
Imagination revolts at the picture
which it may conjure up, and yet no
picture of the imagination can be
more ehan a dream of the sickening
reality. Dismembered airabs, rigid
bedies, with faces white, and cold as
stone, rind glassy eyes staring up at
a foreign sky; pools of blood; less-
ons ;laden with groaning, quivering
mases of human flesh; men annihi-
lated by the f.i1 of a shell in the
space of a single second; think of
it 1 -human beings who, •one' mom-
ent. before, ' were in full possession
of 'health of body and mind, able° to
till the earth, care for their loved
ones, and rejoice- in God's sunshine,
smashed out at one fell bloty into
icketning spatter of blood and
mangled hones! Pen cannot pisture,
the eevelting horrors of the siege,
where ithoasands perish amid squal-
or, festering wounds, pOpetu.al ter-
ror, and slow starvation And
these ere the glories of :war I This
is war, sheen of the -fanfare of trum-
pets, the flutter of flags, and the
brave show of troops marching off
to the best of inertial music and
the 'cheers of an applauding multi-
tude, 'while here and there among
the spectaeors. a tear rolls down
thetheek of an aged -mother, and
thei•leart of Ea wife - orsister is
breaking.
It zooms almost incredible that
intelligent . human beings are so
easily ;blinded by tinsel and glitter,
and 'it is by no means complimentary
to.the common sense of the multi-
tude tit terse' that this same shout-
ing mob is as ready to weep to-
morrow over the lonely grave on the
tar Off hill- side, or over the shat-
tered reranent of humanity that may
come back, ..blind, maimed, his
chance's for life ruined and his hap-
piness in living gone for ever. Sure-.
ly it is time that the seerld shobld
awaken ;to a teue ;understanding of
what this horror means, and that
the people of every civilized land
-.should axese en passe to kleraarid that
some other way to the settlement of
difficulties be Arrived at, other
than the voluntary, whoksaie but-
chery-. When the Hague Tribunal
was inaugurated, it wae dreamed
that a golden • era had dawned for
Europe; the heart and. rensou of
the everld now call for a world's
tribunal armed with a. power that
may be, more than a name.

spot -where thele thousands of name -

tury, hesitate- over the question is
to whether the orize be worth the

els heralded with the song, "niece

Tarte, one cannot help feeling sore-
ry or him. Four years ago he was
one of the leading figures in the
campaign and nomanwas more to
the front or more talked about. To-
day he is seafeely heard-bf and cuts
no figure in political calculations
of either party. He was a brave
fighter -land an honest politician. But
when he got ttoo .high up he lost his
balance. He Imade the mistake of
thinking he eves -the whole show, and
now he is paying the penalty for his
Mistaken egotism.
A despatch from West Huron says:
Rev: Jioseph Elliott, of Goderich,
is campaigning in Mr. Lewis' behalf,
-1I3 did when the townships were
-mating right of way for the Canadian
Pacific Railway, and it is rumored
that he will be a candidate hinaself
,for the Ontario House." Mr. Elliot
is an !old Stanley boy: He was pas-
tor of a large Presbyterian church
in Nairn, 1Viiddlesex county, for sev-
eral qrears but retired: about 2 years
ago and. since his retirement has re-
sided in Godierich. We do not know
whet kind of a figure he will cut itt
politics, !hut he was an able and -pop-
ular preaeher and personally is a
very genial, eompanionable gentle-
man.

Of eourse. we do not know anything

if the Liberal sympaltizers even

they acted very foolishly. The best
way to de with Gamey and all such
