Modern Warfare

ueadly and horrible as iiiodcrii warfare is, zhere is some consolation, says Scientific Ameri- :an, to he derived from facts learned from cer- tain military failures in Ethiopia, China. and Spain. lu these three brutal reversions‘ to sav- ztgery. science. as expnssscd in the itcwcr mach- ines of war, has not Ztl\\'{l._\'S shown up so effic- iently as a maker of military advantage.

In Ethiopia, optimistic [irrdictioiis of attacking commanders put the iiivziiling tirmy iii Ethiopia} capital in little more than marching time. Months later. despite vast} stiperitn- equipment, airplanes, tanks. guns. and even oar gas. the invaders were still llgiltlilg bloody infantry battles far from. their gsal. '

It is in F-pain. huwevei‘, that the calculations/of the strategists have stitleretl their most serious tipset. 130th sides in this fraternal strife have been \\'cll ~'tl|1llll(‘tl with liltlhs mid the most motl- :rn fighting and btmiliiiig planes. Yet neither of these devices has proved as successful as was ex- pected. The great speed of the planes has mili- tated against their ('ll4lL'lt'llC_\', and mud has proved he nemesis of the tanks, Plans bombing bridges, rail-heads, tllltl other important military object- ives harc failed generally t0 accomplish their destructive jun-pose; their very speed has made their marksmanship poor and their bombshavc fallen far froiirtheir targets. Their real effective- ness has been as frightful “strafers” of civilian populations and as a tllcans of lowering the-iiior- ale of troops.

l0 be considered the human factor, the woeful savagery of the military mind. This has shown it- self in all three of these bloody affrays iri a total disregard for the humanities. Prisoners of war have been murdered in cold blood: thousands of civilians have been destroyed, principally by air- plane bombs, and all manner of tin-military cruel- ties have been perpetrated in the iiame of nation- al honour and furtherance of megalomaniac ideologies.

Federal Contributions

file following figures relative t0 federal as- listance to fishermen in Prince Edward Island during i937 are from information tabled last week in Parliament:

Contribution to provincial funds from which aid was given in establishing or better establish- ing fishermen and groups of fishermen in the in- dustry, $§2,4o6,82.

Fishing bounty payments, $13,494.45.

It was also stated that the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture for the fiscal year up to Feb. 28, had paid $8,182.95 iri subsidies and grants to individual firms in the Province to- wards the construction and equipment of public iiold storage warehouses, The amount paid in 1936-37 was $611.88.

U. K. Poultry Losses

Afirnough $1 50,000,000 worth of eggs and thickens are yearly produced in Britain, import- ntions from the Continent, even with eggs from China, continue, all because birds and eggs to the value of $20,000,000 are lost every year. The special technical committee found the foregoing t0 "be the result of its recent survey and dis- patched the statistics with particulars to the Miii- istry of Agriculture with the suggestion that the government take over the control of the poultry industry in the United Kingdom. The report tabulates each county and every one reports var- ious diseases as the principal cause of the loss of birds and their poor feeding the loss of the eggs. The suggestion of government control would be txercises through a State commission with the following functions: Arrange compulsory regis- tration of all who distribute poultry stock, hatch- mg eggs and (lay-old chicks iii considerable quan- tities. Suspend registration if there is evi- dence of disease, or that the parent stock is unfit, vi‘ the premises unhygienic. Apply conditions to hatcheries which will ensure that only eggs are being used from blood-tested stock of reasonably good quality. Formulate a scheme for the estab- lishment of stations for the production of foun- dation breeding. i‘ ‘I i

It may not be absolutely nec- essary for the free nations to fight a war in order to bring the decline of liberty to an end; but it is absolutely necessary for them to stop being afraid to fight one.

When a man on a jury is seen to converse with a witness, it is presumed that the conversation is about the case and the juror is disqualified. When a woman juror is concerned her word that

fore the Leeds Assizes the other day, had merely discussed hats and garments, nevertheless, they were disqualified, and the trial was adjourned, while four others were sworn in to take their places. In disqualifying the four the judge said: "I am not saying that you have clone any- thing wrong, but it is desirable that you should not act as jurors in this case. You have heard something about it from one side before you come into the box to judge it. I will, therefore, ask you to withdraw."

n- 1- n- : ' Among human beings the male is the more vulnerable of the species, Analysis of mortality figures released by the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Company shows that each of the more im- ortant causes of death, with few exceptions, has a higher rate among males than among females. Science Service reports. Men .are engaged in more hazardous occupations and take part in more dangerous sports, on the whole than women. This may account for some of the sex difference that shows in the mortality figures. tart of it, however, is due to an inherent vulnerability, a: shown by the fact that even in very early child- hood, when boys and girls are living essentially the same sort of life, the male shows a higher death rate than the female. Four times as many white men as women are the victims of homicide, and men are much more apt to take their own lives than women are. Syphillis, heart and kidney ailments, pneumonia, tuberculosis, appendicitis andinfluenza each kills more men than women. Cancer, on the other hand. kills slightly more women than men. Of the childhood diseases, only whooping cough shows a sex difference in the mortality figures, This disease kills more young girls than boys.
