What is meant by ‘civilised
warfare?’’ The expression
sounds paradoxical to us.
In ease o£ the United States
becoming involved in war we
want te see those who are now

the front ranks.__
The Mexican war seems to
have dwindled down to a few de
sultory skirmishes—just enough
to let the world know the country
is not yet at peace.

We do not coincide with tnanv
of our people in the contention
that the European war U a Chris-
tian war. In the first place some
of the most universally wicked
nitions on earth are involved and
xe cm see nothing humane, to
say nothing of anything Chris-
tian-like in the methods of ot.-
army permitting its dead thou-
sands to remain unburied that

ing bodies might s even an*’

puts the war, in our opinion.. <m

We hear a great deal of won-
der expressed that the great
balk of the Christian nations are
now at war, while neirlv toe en-
tire heathen element are st

Under the teachings of Christ
there is neither cause n »r ex-
cuse for war. True, Christians
and heathens) alike go to war,
but they cease to be Ch istiaris
or heathens the moment war Is
declared.

Most Rapid Photographs Evsr Taken
The most remarkable set ot speed
photographs ever taken are a pan ot
the war department» exhibit la Ma-
chinery Hall at the Panama-Pacific In-
ternational Exposition San Francisco.
They are picture* of a shell from a 13-
inch coast defense gun in flight, the
set Including the various phases ot
the flight be. ini.ing Just as the great
projectile pokes Its nose out of the
nuurle of the gun.
The pictures were taken with a
lens having an exposure period of
one five-thousandth of a second, this
being the fastest shutter ever manu-
factured. The exposure at the proper
time in the flight of the projectile
was made by breaking an electric cir-
cuit in a wire stretched across the
trajectory at the desired point and
connecting with the shutter
One picture shows the (belt half-
way out of the muxxle before any
smoke and gas has escaped Another
was taken when the shall was two
feet from the rnuixle but hidden by a
heavy ring of smoke. A third shows
the shell in flight a hundred feet from
