BELGIUM’S LOSS.

The Ostend correspondent of the London Chronicle says that it is estimated that up to the present time forty thousand Belgians liave been killed in the war. in our civil war there were but 67,058 northern soldiers killed in battle. Counting in those who died of wounds—4o,3l2 —we have a total of 100,070. We make no account of those who died of disease and other causes, for there is no reckoning of these in the Belgium total. If, as we assume, the forty thousand men were actually killed in battle, we must compare this loss with 67,058 who were killed in our terrible war that lasted

four years. But the showing is horrible enough if we compare it with our total killed and fatally wounded — 100,070. Indeed, the slaughter is so enormous that one hesitates to accept the figures. But these are not the only losses. It is said that industry throughout the little kingdom is at a standstill. Here is the picture drawn by the correspondent: Not a single factory or coal pit in the country has been operated in three weeks and not a single penny in wages has been received by the men engaged in the staple activities of the nation since August 1. There is nothing but dire poverty, distress and stagnation even in the areas untouched by the fighting. Provision for the feeding, housing and other care of refugees is being pushed feverishly. More than four thousand refugees are herded in bathing cabins along the beach and in various small public buildings at Ostend. , We trust that the people, at least of the Americas, have not already become so hardened to war, so much given to thinking of it as a great game to be won or lost, as to be unimpressed by the terrible facts set out above. They ought to sink deeply into human consciousness. It is no longer a question of who is right and who wrong, but rather of whether war of itself is. right or wrong. Men must decide whether the time has not come to put an end to war, as they have put an end to so many other forms of savagery. We have for years been trying to make war humane, and indeed we have eliminated some of the old barbarities. But there can, as a matter of fact, be no such thing as a humane war. For it necessarily involves the killing and maiming of men, the starving of women ami children, and often an entire break down of social and industrial organism. It is to the eternal honor of this country that it has stood so strongly and steadfastly for peace. Perhaps when ‘‘the cup of trembling” has been drained to the dregs, good men everywhere will be glad to join with the American people in an effort to lift the race to the level of a life in which no nation shall ‘ learn war any more.” The woes of Belgium—and these are but “the beginnings of sorrows”—ought to kindle jn every human breast a very passion fop pefice—lndianapolis News.

The Spirit of Youth Is In Chautauqua Program

Mountain and Fishing Fun Equaled In Big Tent Ten Years* More Life In Ticket.

When the engines whistle In the canyons near your summer mountain home and you' hear the gurgling of the waters released from the snowcapped peaks above you, when the air seems to lift you far above the ordinary courses of your life and your heart sings while your blood races warmly through Its courses, are you happy? Are you glad you are alive? Does life seem good and sweet? Ttfere are hundreds of people In this community who won’t have that experience this summer. They won’t throw a fly out over the surface of the stream. They won’t experience the feelings of speechless delight that the trout fisherman knows and that ex-

tend his life a half score years or more. These hundreds of folks who have all the capacities necessary to joy must for varying reasons stay at home. The same old streets and the same neglected sunsets may or may not get their attention. And yet these are the people whose outlook, whose vision, hopes, confidence In themselves and faith in you must determine the policies of this community and largely the aspirations and ambitions of your children.

BOOSTER IS A CHAP WHO WILL NOT DOWN

Man Who Believes In Now and Is Chautauqua Fan. A booster is a man who undertakes to do a thing that should be done for the common benefit of the people. He is a man who believes actively that things should be done and kept as well as they could be done and kept. He believes in patches on clothes, but not in dirty clothes. He believes in roads, but in good roads only. A booster believes that children can have just as much fun and a good deal more in playing “three deep” or

“handball” vith his neighbors than he could have in smoking cigarettes or playing poker in the hayloft of his neighbor’s barn. Of course, he knows that inithe former case he must give the children a very small amount of attention, directly and indirectly. A booster is a man who believes in himself and believes in ins neighbors. He believes that it is better to live eighty happy years than to live sixty lonely and selfish ones. He Is a man who knows that the heart of the average man is good and that our failures are accounted for largely in our frailty and Ignorance and in our stupid contentment. This booster man is a Chautauqua fan. He is the man who is urging you and your neighbor and your neigh” bor’s son to attend’ the most delightful, suggestive, interesting, scintillating program that perhaps has ever been given in this community- one that is crammed with strong discussions, lectures and interpretations that follow a prologue of interesting, catchy music; that brings on the im mortal down with his face paint'and his compelling laughter; that provides a homecoming and community reunion, a visit with John and Mary and the kiddies. In your heart you are a booster. Here is the time and the place to let ydur heart out. You ought to live a long time yet and be very happy and very successful. After a week’s vacation with the Chautauqua people the recipe for such life will be indelibly written in your own experience. Get a season ticket; one for every member of the family; have a vacation; have one that will be worth a million, and cheap at that '

What of it? w ha t is the use of talking about it? Listen! There is a lot of use, and that is one of the reasons why we publish this article. There is just as much new life just as many worthy ambitions, just as many lively possibilities in song, speech, in laughter and pathos, In concert and in impersonation as there are in water and tree. We knew a boy ten years ago who was a shut-in. Along came the announcement of an assembly. He attended. Today he says that his happiness,.health and moderate wealth began in that assembly. The Lincoln Ghautauqua program will be here soon, and there is not a red headed kid nor the making of a

ffood cook in this whole confine who should not attend, and there is not a grouch, a pessimist nor a growing preacher anywhere within reach of this city who should not be there and see these kiddies grow a cubit every day of the program. Get a season ticket and have a vaca tion for a song,” which otherwise you might never have, or if you did have it might be cheap at a hundred times that amount. Do you want to extend your life ten good years? Then get a ticket.

UNCLE EPHRAIM IS A CHAUTAUQUA FAN

Says He Is Going With Ail the Kiddies to Every Session. TO HEAR AND SEE TALENT. \es, sir.' ’ said Uncle Ephraihi. “It’s a fact. I believe it is just as sacred to play as it is to pray. 1 believe it is just as much a part of the human family's needs to play some, laugh some and grow young as it is to sing some and pray some and listen to a sermon. Ale for some fun every sumrner’ I am either going to the mountains or down to the lake or over to Farmer Jones’ grove to the picnic or somewhere. lhey tell me that this summer we aie going to have a Chautauqua here; that it is a Chautauqua named after Abiaham Lincoln; that there are people to lecture, sometimes seriously and sometimes humorously; that there are people who play musical instruments; people who sing; that some folks are makeup artists who impersonate and imitate other folks, and that some 1 are actors; that some make drawings with crayons; that there are bands and orchestras; that there is a lot of fun in the program; some of the greatest men and women of the country will tell us what they see and think that is worth

while and that Alls heart chinks with gladness and the air with merriment. “I understand that these folks have as much fun in singing and acting and playing as you can have at a National league ball game, or when you go fishing, or play ‘Run, sheep, run,’ and I’ll be doggoned if 1 ain't going to take that in if it's, the last thing I ever do. “Me for the Chautauqua—to sit under that sage green tent in a good chair and listen to a man talk who knows how to talk, or a girl sing who can sing some, or somebody play a part who looks it and acts it to a fault. My neighbors and I and all the kiddies are going to take this week off to play with these Chautauqua folks and have the time of Our lives. Yes, sir; you bet!”
