There he will find that In the lmit four months

when the war came It came only aa the Inevit

Democrats and Poitofficei.
Our democratic postmaster general la pro
posing so many radical Innovations In the postal
service, one after the other, that It Is hard to
keep up with him. Ills desire to uproot rural
free delivery In order to go back to the old atar
route system has been followed with a plan to
abolish assistant postmasters, which likewise on
paper figures out a tremendous economy, but,
is the Indianapolis News point out, would prob
ably be at tremendous cost of efficiency In
eliminating the chief off leer, who atays on the
Job, and make the postal business his life work.
The Indianapolis paper suggest that If the post
master general Ii anxious to do any abolishing
In the Interest of economy, he ahould abolish the
postmaster, who In most rases I a purely polit
ical appointee who could be dispensed with with
much less damage to the public, although, of
course, there are exceptions. Quoting from the
Indianapolis News:
Wa ahall nnver hava real reform until wa take
tha whole aorvlca, from top to bottom, out of tha
lianda of spollemen and patronage monger. The
poatmnaters ought to h brought within tha clnaalfleil
eervlr, appointed for merit and fltnaaa, without re
gard to politics, and retained during good bahavlor.
And Ury ought, prr fcrahly. to !a choaan from mn
In th office. In othar worda, thrr should be promo
tion. Wa ran have rfflrlcnt service on no othrr
terms. Thrra ar many poalofflraa that would be
wrecked If tha analatant poa'.tnaatrr ahould be re
lieved of hla present dutlea. If It had boen Intended
that postmasters should perform the duties now per
formed by their naalatanta, man ahould have been
rhoaea for the chief -places who were known to be
rapnbl of performing them. w agree that with
qualified pnntmaeters there would be no ned for
aaalatant poatmaatera. Hut postmasters being what
they are, th aealatants ar I ha backbone of th
service.
nut politic Is politics, and so long as the
democrats, are hungry, the postmasterahtpa will
not be put in the classified list not until they
ire all distributed to democrats.
Anomaly of the War.
The world Is moved to the depths of pity
by the profound pathos of Dolglum'a plight In
tha present war. It la. Indeed, the anomaly of
tha war that the brunt of battle ahould have
fallen on a neutral nation. The situation seems
to touch the hearts of even the Invaders them
selves, acting, of course, only In response to
the grim rules of war.
Hut. after all, there la nothing new In all
thla. In peace and war the principle of the
Innocent suffering for the guilty, so to speak,
Is a old as the hills, though mortal men find It
hard to justify. The thing that must give Bel
gium greateet distress at this time la the failure
of any of It frlenda, the allies, to render It ef
fectual aid when Its existence as a state seems
In the balance. Every principle of Justice de
mands that tf Belgium ta not released from the
tndemulllea Imposed upon It by Germany, then
England, France and Russia ahall come to Its
assistance In the end, some way or other, to
help It meet them.
Expediting' tha Wheels of Justice.
The Mlnneaota state supreme court la set
ting an example to other Judiciaries la the mat
ter of speedy Justice by keeping abreast 'of its
work. "Our supreme court," aays the Minne
apolis Journal, "has so systematlsed Its work
that delay haa been practically eliminated, and
that, too, without, falling Into the danger of too
hasty decision." Justice George L. Dunn, a
member of the court, telling how thla la aocotu-
nllshed, says consultation Immediately follow
tha Cay's arguments, the decision la reached
and the opinion written while the case Is freah
la the minds of the Judges. "The system nay
have Its fault," be adds, after a detailed ex
planation, "but It haa such Important advan
tages that w much prefer It. It la the only
plan that enables the court to keep up with lu
work.-
Avoiding delays means In very many in
stances avoiding a denial of Justice. Many liti
gants are worn out physUcally and exhausted
financially bee a a of the archaic methods of
many of our courts. Much of this uproar
against the courts la the Utter year 1 the
reult of patience outraged at the Intolerable
tardiness of the wheel of so-called luetic. If
th court ef Minnesota can devise a way of
speeding up the machinery, then other court
ahould also be able to do It.

OMAHA, Oct. 12.-To th Editor of The
Ree: p.eferrtng to the article by William
F. Waipl-h. th heading of which was,
"What fWmane Have Pone for Amer
I'a," I not that according to him that
about everything of any value whatever
In the upbuilding of this country wa
done by Germans. W are told th Ger
mans were here before th bllgrlms, that
a Herman discovered the Hudnon river,
another mad the purchase of Manhattan
Island, aleo that to a derma should be
given th credit for th unity of feeling
In the colonists, and which finally led to
the overthrow of Brltlah rule. Ha also
Informa us that the Germans sent tha
first regiment to Washington when Lin
coln called for volunteers, and will re
spond If the country needs them. He
doesn't tell us what their attitude would
be should we get In trouble with Ger
many. I don't think you would find many
of them willing to help us In that -cae.
I'armlt m t say that It la vary Strang
that so many of ua were born and ralaed
la thla country, want to school hare and
yel never knew th Herman Hd all thee
things. I have yet te see the fleet his
tory ef th t'nltad "tatas In which then
Is anything to subatsntlat Mr. Wapplch'
claims. Ha alao tails usi 'The Oerman

all German articles lately th oultur

te ma that th only real culture In th

writer claim they ar a superior rac
to all other and poaaeaa th only raj

Hew I think Mr. Wapplch 1 entirely
too modest In his claims for th Gr

tell us that Waehlngtoe, Jefferson, Un.
coin. Grant, McKlnley and In fact all th
gvaat man wh have made this country
what It Is, and whom w have been
taught and 14 to believe ware Amart
cans, were really Germans, 1 can't see
how they rould be otherwise when we
ar told every day by so many different
writers that oVrmany haa all of this so
called "Culture," and that other nations
are nothing but barbarian. I presume
that It will b only a short'tlm until w
will hav th pleasure of reading an
article by som Oerman wrtr that C

Modern Bullet Wounds
Sargecns F.aally Decelrd. a
M jf h has been written and direct charges made
about th ue of the dum-dum bullet In the present
war In Europe, and de-rlPtlons have been printed
of the terrible wounds they make. But the fact la
overlooked that the modern smaller caliber, hign
velocity bullet will, under conditions that are not
fully understood, produce wousis that even an ex
perienced surgeon might easily mistake for th work
of a dum-dum. This la explained In a recent Issue
of the Hclentlflc Amerlcaa. which gives th following
pertinent fscts:
t'nder many conditions, when th high-speed, smalt
caliber bullet used In modern r.fl-a strikes a man. It
makes an exceedingly small puncture, and passes
through both bone and tissue alike, with trifling in
Jury. Although th man la Incapacitated for the time
being, he suffers no permanent Injury. This Is what
was aimed at when th small caliber rifle was adopted.
Unfortunately, the bullet doe not always act In this
way, for the so-called plts" bullet, which has been
Introduced In Oermany and adopted by several other
countries, behaves In most uncertain manner. Being
quite short snd conical snd with a gradual taper, tia
center of gravity Is thrown back near tha baa. Con
sequently, It Is very liable to be disturbed In Its flight,
when It turns sideways. Instead of making the small,
clean-cut perforation expected. It tears its way through
the tissues, making a terrible lacerated wound very
similar to that which would be produced by a dumdum
Effect ef Ylhrattone.
Another knd of wound whl h is not Infrequent is the
en tbat appears t have been mad by an explosive
bullet, but Is only another effect of the high velocity
bullet, which Is well known but probably not thor
ouughly understood. One explanation Is that by Its
tremendous, rapid translation both through the gun
barrel and th air, '.he bullet is st In vibration, and
the effect. It will have upon the tissue of the human
living body will t)a relative tn the capacity or Inca
pacity of the tissues t take up and transmit the vi
bration or wave motion. This can b better understood
from an experiment mad In studying th subject. A
tomato can was filled with water and the bullet fired
through 1t. The entrance hole was small and almoat
as If cut out by a punch, and tha edges but slightly
Inverted, while the exit hole was an Inch and one-half
eflrona sod very Irregular. Moreover., th front end
wa bsdly bulged out. the resr end torn nearly loose,
and th sides partially collapsed. The Indications
were that the preaaure or forces acted after the
bullet' had' Paed through the can and aa a vibra
tion or wave would act
Many wounds of th character above noted hav
been observed In the past, and It Is evident that tu
apparently small and humanitarian bullet, now almost
universally ued In warfare, ha not only largely
failed in Its object, but haa been th caus of decided,
but unmerited suspicion In several quarters.
What la the DnaadaaaT
During the Chltral campaign In India In 1835, the
native troop found .that the nickel-Jacketed )ead bul
lets they were using were not aa effective a they
wished that Is, they did not "stop" their man. They
found the difficulty could be overcome by partially
stripping att tha nickel Jacket and exposing the leaden
head. These bullets, because they came from tho
Dumdum ammunition works at Calcutta, were known
as "dumdums." They became greatly distorted when
striking a soft body, spreading out Into something
like a 'mushroom shape, producing a serious wound.
This Is the true dumdum bullet. It w.ll be appre
ciated that, aa In the Indian campalitn. the bullet can
be easily prepared by any soldier Individually, without
the knowledge or his superiors and If such bullets
have been used In the present war, this is their un
doubted source.
Ballets In fee. I
The various bullets used by armies of civilised
nations admit of being grouped In three classes, re
ports th Medical Record. One of these classes cf
projectiles Is called th reduced caliber. Jacketed
bullet. The second class Includes the leaden balls
tn thrapnel and the blunt-nosed bullet formerly In
use In the British army and subsequently used by the
8erviana. To the third class belong the expanding
bullets, the soft-nosed bullet and th dumdum bullet.
Some 'authorities speak of the Iret class as the
pointed bullet. ' It has less stopping power than
the other two. The greater part of the nation of
th world use the ogtval bullet, a pointed bullet
whose tip forms an obtuse angle like an arch.
The two bullets now In use, the oglval snd th
blunt-nosed, have a rotary and wabbling motion. On
Impact they produce a wound like that made by the
blow of a hammer. This effect seems to be observed
at all ranges, but particularly at 1.000 yards. Hero
the gyroscopic steadiness due to rotation Is lost; the
bullet may even turn on Its axis and produce ex
plosive effects. lateral . Impact seems the only ex
planation of theae explosive effecta. .
The unatable Japanese bullet, unstable because It
Is the lightest and smallest In use, makes at 800 to
1,000 yards perforations which are large, with explosive
exits, and In the soft viscera a wide track showing
a great deal of laceration. These effects are prob
ably the result of the bullet's course, which Is a
tangent to the curve of the trajectory. Before It takes
a curve, at very short ranges. It has effects less
ovre. but her Its stopping power Is less. In this
respect It Is much Inferior to the blunt-nosed bullet.
The action of both these types of modern bullet on
the human body would at first sight seem to be the
same, but careful inspection of wounds during the
Balkan war shows that wounds caused by the
sharp-nosed German and Turkish bullet were on the
whole mors favorsble for speedy healing than thoa
caused by th blunt-nosed Servian bullet.

Dauntless mistress of the seas.

For those who on bended knees
Are praying for they helping hand.

It's a fine thing to sell quality, but
a deal finer to deliver It, says th
Cadillac Co.
The Hupmohlle has always deliver
ed quality, and I think the new model
goes farther In that direction than
any other Hup Which la no slight
praise for It.
To begin with. It's, a five-passenger
ear five passengers, mind you. with
room for everybody to relax.
Take the whole, family along in
comfort ho reason why Johnny or
Mary should be left at horn.
And It has plenty of power the
motor Is larger and there are a lot
of refinements to take caro of that.
You couldn't want or ask for more
conveniences or more complete equip
ment than this car carries. It has
everything not a single extra for you
to buy.
I tell you it's a beauty, and' every
bit aa good Inside , and out as It
looks.
Step In and see It
