1T is WAR.

We print to-day the news that Japan
has formally declared war against China
and there Is good reason for believing
that the declaration liz made In good
faith. Before declaring war Japan seems
TO have tried her resources just to see
II everything was In good fighting trim.
In less than a week she has practically
swept the Chinese navy from the seas,
has destroyed two OF their best battle
ships and three new armored cruisers,
sunk the fastest transport in the China
service. captured one of the men-of- war
conveying 1t, scattered the rest of the
fleet. and has already apologized to
Great Britain for not having noticed the
trifing circumstance that the transport
was flying the British nag.
There Is something in the promptness
and effectiveness of the Japanese move
ments which recalls the Prussian opera
lions against France In 1870 and against
Austria in 1866.
1t Is real war, and It means real news,
and the news may be looked for In the
editions OF 1.-THE Evening World"

A VOLUNTEER FIREMAN.

The fremen were saved some trouble
at the fierce but brief fire at Nathan's
pocketbook factory on Broome street
yesterday afternoon.
The flames spread rapidly after the
FIRST alarm, and their extreme heat drove
Off the men. But Just as the f1re seemed
to be getting beyond control II was
subdued by novel volunteer brigade
On the roof OF the building a big
water tank had been built for the use
of the tenants and the factory. The
supports of this immense cistern soon
burned away and the tank upsettinr
poured its flood right into the midst
OF the fire, reaching Its root at once
and speedily extingulshng the big
blaze. The brave iiremen, who were
doing their hest TO approach the build
ing with the hose, found their work
very effectually done for them.
1t Is not certain that big water tanks

buildings for utilization IN case OF fire.
But some genius suggests that by a
system OF high pressure fire hydrants
could be supplied on the roofs OF big
blocks of houses and stores. so that
at fire in the block the flremen could
flock to the tops OF the buildings with
short lengths OF hose and play away on
the flames from the roof hydrants, saving
the time and labor OF dragging up large
lengths OF hose.
At all events the Broome street tank

THE RELIEF FUND SCANDALS.

There is hardly a greater scandal in the
city than the alleged misuse of the one
million dollar Relief Fund by the Park
Commission.
The people gave one million dollars to
relieve the sufferngs of the deserving
poor of the city during last Winter by
supplying work to those willing to labor,
so as to save their families from starva-
tion. In order to furnish the readiest
work, and at the same time to make 1t
useful to the city, 1t was determined to
put 1t into the hands of the Park Com
missioners, who could at once use II for
such repairs and improvements on the
parks as would be of public advantage.
even though not absolutely necessary.
Instead of applying the money to this
purpose and giving immediate work to
the suffering poor, the Commissioners
Issued labor tickets and gave them to
their political friends and leaders for
distribution among their heelers. In
stead OF hiring honest labor, they de-
voted a portion of the money to pur-
chases of material from their favored
friends and to the beneft OF a few pet
contractors. The Commissioners also
oouBHt W apply tHe iuiiu W auu W their
regular appropriation for ordinary re-
pairs and other work made by the
Board Of Apportionment, and thus by
indirection to violate the law.
These charges have been openly made.
They have never been met. Nor has
any report been offered to the people of
the uses to which the Relief Fund has
been put
This Is outrageous. and II 10 a scandal
