The stories told by returning soldiers
of the starvation they endured, would be
ridiculous in view of the abundant sup
plies furnished by the government if 1t
We're not fact based on personal expert
enceS that every man can vouch for who
has suffered from the fever common III
the South-malarial, climatic and ty
phod. 1t is an established truth in med;-
cine that those who have the germs of
such fevers in their systems or are con-
vaescing from them are the most raw
enously hungry of mortals. The physi-
illogical reasons for manifestations of
this sort are easily found. The depletion
of the system demands restoration in the
only way it can be impaired by such
abundance of nourishment as will again
build up the wasted body. The stomach,
less impaired than the other organs is in
state of activity and unsuitable hum
ger. The individual, left to his own
wishes would gorge himself to the last
limit of his capacity. But such a pro-
ceeding would be fatal and the wise
physician, therefore, restricts and diets
his fever patients. Without hesitation 1t
may be affirmed unat the best cared for
inmate of the best provided hospital will
in cases of convalescing fever declare to
his friends that he has been starved
that the methods of the hospital are star
va.icn methods and that the motives for
restricting the food supply are mean and
sordid. This, of course, is moi the case

WILL LOAD AMMUNITION.
The Monterey Preparing for
 the Trip to Manila.

The coast defense steamer Monterey and the sloop-of-war Alert are to go up to the Navy Yard early this morning. The Alert Is just back from long cruise in Central American waters and she will be put out of commission. Her crew will be transferred to the receiving ship Inde- pendence to await the commission of the cruiser Philadelphia. Commander Lutge of the Alert will probably take the Mon terey to Manila.
 F. Beenck and T. de Blocker, gunner s mates of the Alert, are anxious to go to the front. When the sloop-of-war was at San Diego they sent word to Wash ington that they would willingly join the fleet in the Atlantic, and as q good gun ner's mate is always in demand and these men were highly recommended by Com mander Lutge, the Government at once accepted their offer Gunner's Mate de Blocker is a San Francisco boy, and he will not take any shore liberty here, but with his companion will go East at once to join one of the blockading squadrons
 With the departure of the Monterey, Rear Admiral Miller will transfer his flag to the Albatross and she will in future be the flagship of the mosquito fleet. The late Fish Commissioners boat has fine roomy quarters and Is fitted with electric lights, which is more than the other vessels of his fleet have

A BANDITTI REVIVAL

The Tribuna di Roma prints the story of how a single banditto robbed party of engineers and six laborers within a few miles of Siena and escaped with his booty On the following day attsun- down on the Via Tiberna near Ostia, only a few miles from Rome, banditto threatened a wealthy countryman with a knife and robbed him of his wallet containing 2000 lire, which had been drawn that afternoon from the bank at Ostia This robber was not so fortu- nate as his Tuscan colleague, however, for the gendar.les fired on him, and he was taken to the hospital fatally wounded The robbery near Siena took place a mile to the north of Gros- seto, in the region that divides the Tuscan from the Roman frontier, which was until 1896 the theater of the ex- ploits of the famous brigand Tiburzi and his band. The seven engineers, led by Deputy Romano Jacuro, himself an engineer, and accompanied by six la borers, were about to begin work on the new aqueduct when the banditto, arm ed with a modern magazine rife, ap- peared from behind a rock and told the party to throw their valuables upon the ground and depart This they did not hesitate to do. Then, at the command of the robber they retraced their steps, keeping together as they had been or dered to do Among the booty, which with watches and money, Is valued at 60 GOO lire, was the pocketbook of the deputy, which contained five bank notes of 100 lire each. The gendarm- erie at Grosseto was notified, and the soldiers scattered through the hills to hunt the banditto down. It Is believed in Rome that he Is a member of Ti- burzi's old band who made his escape to Sicily two years ago.

TWO SCORE MuMMIEs.

An examination of the contents of the cases of the first and second Egyp- tian rooms as now exhibited shows that the British Museum possesses about forty-f four mummies and about eighty coffins, not including covers of collins and various fragments. Taken togeth- CT, these represent period of about 400O years. The oldest mummified hu- man remains in the museum are those of Mycerinus Cease Al, the builder of the third pyramid of Gizeh, about B. C.. 3640; and the most modern those of a lady whose name is unknown, who, to- gether with her three children, was mummified about A. D. 400 Cease FED. The cover of the coffin of Mycerinus, which Is exhibited below the fragments of his mummy, Is inscribed with a text that in his time was already some thou sands of years old, and it is noteworthy that at this remote period the king is described as living forever" by the words on it. No further proof that the Egyptians. in the earliest times, be- lieved in the resurrection and in a fu- ture life is needed.-London Times.

UOIr Soldiers n

Rev. W. c. Gardner. pastor of the West Side Christian Church, chose for the sub- ject of his address last night: "Our Sol diers.' He said in part:
 In the ranks of our volunteer soldiers are to be found representatives of almost every pro- fession and of every class of society The sons of the capitalist and of the hod-carrier march side by side. The ignorant cowboy and the uni versity graduate sit together around the camp bacon, beans and hardtack. Like the poison ous vapors of deadly pestilence. which creep into every part of a stricken city, the terrors of war reach the palatial home of wealth as well the humble home of poverty.
 It cannot be denied that some of boys volunteer more for love of adventure and ex- citement than because of their patriotism, while with many there is that deep abiding follow the old flag wherever danger may threaten it, but the majority are prompted by that highest and purest motive that ever be- fore induced men to go forth to battle-love for humanity.
 They have heard the cry of the perishing multitudes in Cuba. The graves of more than 200, GOO who have been starved or murdered and the hundreds of bodies thrown out of the death pens to be picked by the vultures have appealed to them.
 The wars of the Crusaders were called holy wars. Bishops, spriests and laity rallied from every Christian nation and went forth to die captured Napoleon drenched Europe with the blood of 50 GOO. 900 men to gratify his unholy ambition. Twenty-Five millions fell in the Jewish wars, 50, 000 GOO In the wars under Julius and Saracens but in all those wars of ancient and modern times no man died upon the field of battle as will fall boys in blue in the present war, every one of whom will die for every other virtue and which gives itself for humanity.

Justice Given Prof. Welcker.

In reporting the proceedings of the board of regents of the university, it was said that Professor "Walter'' was appointed emeritus professor of mathematics. It was Professor W. T. Welcker who was so honored and this action of the regents is a very graceful acknowledgment of an injustice committed by a former board many years ago.
 In June, 1881. Professor W. T. Welcker, then occupying the chair of mathematics. was summarily removed. without cause assigned or charges made, and although the alumni and students protested yigor- ously, no redress could be obtained. The only person in university circles who pre- served a dignified silence was the victim himself He made no sign. But the peo- pie sgnified their opinion in no uncertain manner. electing him State Superintend- ent of Public Instruction at the next gen. eraI election, and the professor. "ex-offi- cio," took his seat in the board that had so arbitrarily dispossessed him of what he had reason to believe was a lifelong position. At whose motion this rather empty honor and tardy reparation was made, is not known.

WHY AUSTRIA DIsLIKES AMER
 ICA

Austria. which is taking the lead in the nIot to intervene against the United States has several reasons to oisiihe this country, and every one or these
 reasons is creditable to us. w hen .ne United States in 1923 warned the Holy Auiance-Russia Austria, Prussia ana
 Bourbon France-to keep it's hands OH
 the nations of the American continent which had just gained their lndepenu-
 ence of Spain, it won the laStlhs eh-
 mity of the Vienna Government. True,
 Austria was only one of the members
 of the alliance, and not the most con spicuous member either, for Russia
 played the role of dominant partner. A certain Austrian statesman, however,
 was the inspiring influence or the league. His voice was more potent m it's councils than were those of the Czar
 Alexander I, of Francis I of the flaps
 burg monarchy, of Frederick William III of Prussia, or of Louis XVIII or
 France. This was Prince Metternich,
 who, from 1909 to 1S4S, was Austria
 Minister of Foreign Affairs, and who from the Congress of Vienna in 1914 on- ward was a decisive force in European politics.
 Events growing out of the rebellion in Hungary in 1S48-49 gave Austria an
 other unpleasant experience or Amerl- can influence and power. Austria pe- lieved, and truly so, that American ex-
  tion for that rising and the expreS-
 sions of sympathy by the American press and American statesmen for the Hungarians in that struggle, and the enthusiastic reception given to Kos
 suth the Hungarian leader, on his visit to this country in 1851, angered the Vienna Government.
 But the rescue of KosZta by an Amer
 ican warship in 1853 transmitted this feeling into rage, and nearly prec1pl- tated war between the two countries. Koszta, one of the Hungarian rebels or 1S49, escaped to the United States after the war, took the preliminary steps ne
 cessary to secure full citizenship in this country, but while in Smyrna, Turkey in 1853, on business, was seized by or der of the Austrian frigate HuzZar, Tn that port. Captain Ingraham. com mander of the American sloop- of-war St. Louis, learning of the affair, sailed to the place where the Austrian war yes
 sel was stationed demanded Koszta' s release, and declared that if he were
 not given up by certain hour that day he would be taken by force. The St Louis was instantly cleared for fight This frightened the AuStrians into sur rendering Koszta to the French Consul and he was released and sailed for the United States.
 A dozen years later, when the OIliIeQ 0IdtSS COelCSN J eA'iSS iii|O
 uating Mexico, the Mexicans captured
 and executed Maximilian, Louis Ma poleon's tool. who tried to establish
 monarchy on the other side of the Rio Grande, and Austria was provided with another cause for a grudge against this country Maximilian was brother Of Francis Joseph, then and still Emperor of Austria, and Austrian influence was
 secretly used before Maximilian's cap ture to get up a European combination against the United States.-St. Louis Globe e-Democrat

A QUEER SUPERSTITION.

The Acadians who inhabit North eastern Maine profess to have sure way of finding out if any of their kindred are dwelling among the hedge hogs in a given locality. Whenever a colony of French people mlgrates to new township, bits of fat pork and bacon rind are thrown out near the ledges where signs of hedgehogs are found. If these baits remain on the ground until they decay, no eXiled Frenchmen Is dwelling among the rocks; but, if they are eaten up In a night or two, and hedgehogs come out to the new clearings looking for more, it is taken for a token that unfortunate ancestors are living near by who must be protected at any cost. As hedge hogs are capable of multiplying faster than the French people, the supersti- tion often imposes a heavy tax upon the SquatterS. In some townships the ami mals have become so numerous that they have girdled and killed great tracts of valuable hemlock, bringing heavy losses 10 the land owners, who will soon ask the State to put bounty upon hedgehogs In order to thin out the pests.
 If such a law is ever passed, the men who try to enforce 1t will meet with thrilling adventures when they visit Northern Aroostook County. - New York Sun.

DEWEY AND NELSON.

Frank Lee writes in the Chicago Times Herald: Nelson is great, proba- bly, the greatest, until Dewey's fame arose to eclipse his feats His many battles and the effect of his victories prove his pre- -eminence, but it Is true that there are others" Those who have carefully considered the exploits of Hood, Hooker, Lewis, Collingwood and Blake must admit that even if they were not as great as Nelson yet they achieved much that is well worthy of comparison with what Nelson did.
 Perhaps Blakes greatest action was against the Spanish in 1857, when he entered the strongly fortified harbor of Santa Cruz and defeated a superior force supported by land batteries It was a fight like Deweys In that it seemed incredible to Englishmen, who could hardly believe their leader's great success. He was the first man to bring ships to fight fortresses, a thing that until then seemed foolhardy and useless risk Nelson, Farragut and Dewey prof1ted by the lesson he taught
 Nelson's great battles were those of the Nile Copenhagen and Trafalgar Great as is the credit due him. it must be admitted that the British fleet was then at it's best and that of France at it's worst. It mattered very little under what leader the English might be: so long as the two fleets could get into action the issue was not doubtful
 Before the battle of the Nile Nelson went on two wild goose chases in search of the French. Tn numbers the ships were evenly matched at Aboukir. though the French had the aid of shore batteries and their fleet was superior. Nelson divided his fleet and attacked a part of the French from both sides while the enemy's van and all their line were either unable or unwilling to take part in the fight.
 At Copenhagen Nelson met both shore batteries and fleets. Impatient of de- lay, he attacked them. He tried to re- peat the Nile experiment, but was not able to place the Danes between two fires, and the result was that though his squadron destroyed the first line of the Danish defenses the hostile batter ies were not silenced and Nelson him self suffered so greatly that he wei comed a truce.
 The battle of Trafalgar was not of Nelson's seeking. Villeneuve had twice outwitted him and led him on one oc- casion on a chase across the Atlantic Wearied and desperate villeneuve left Cadiz and sought the battle of Trafal- gar The forces were not so uneven.
