The large number of rcjections of
volunteers has caused much comment
in the army medical corps, and some
of the physicians believe that 'thc
American race" whatever that is, is
deterioratinS. However, the physi-
clans who have actually conducted
the examinations say that. outside of
the ranks Of cigarette smokers, there
arc even fewer reflections than there
were in the days of the civil war.
Among habitual users Of the cigar
ettc the reflections are about 90 per
cent. DIR. Benjamin King, Of Phil.
adelphia, who acted as an examining
surgeon during the years of 1SG1-63
in the States Of New York, Penn
sylvania. Ohio and Indiana, says that
the average reflections during those
years did not exceed Is per cent.

most entirely to the cigarette habit.

The Price of Wheat.

Mr.. Letter, of Chicago, is not
specially admirable character. Mr..
Letters transactions in wheat were
purely speculative. And yet IN 50
far as MIR. Letters gambling trans
actions served to put up the price of
wheat, or rather to establish more
promptly its real value, Mr.. Letter
has proved of great assistance to his
country in its war with Spain. He
has done more damage to the enemy
than could have been inflicted by u
battle-ship or an army brigade.
While the high price of wheat
exposes the consumer in this country
to certain Inconvenience, our coun-
try gets the benefits of the high
prices paid not only by our citizens
but by all other countries as we'll.
Moreover, we are fairly well able to
stand 1t. We have plenty of corn
and other staple articles of food at
low prices.
But the damage done to Spain by
wheat at S1.9O is beyond calculation.
1t is reflected in the bread riots, in
the socialistic agitation, in the in
creased difficulty Of providing the
the war credits and in the demorali-
zation of the government. 1t is even
possible that the loaf of bread may
be the last difficulty to break down
an already enfeebled dynasty.
lfthc price of wheat causes us
any uneasiness it is not without com
pensations.-New York York World.

ANOTHER CALF TROOPS
President Mckinley Realizes
That More Men Are Needed.
SPAIN MUST BE CRUSHED
The President Feels That the Pres
ert War In Not Child's Play. and
Will Bring the Vart Resources Ot
ine Country lato Action to Ter
inmate 1t.

The hourly-increasing necessity Tor
more troops was the subject of CONVEX
sation between a number of senators and
President Mckinley today.
The second call, it is stated. will be
sent to Congress within a few days.
A prominent senator said today that
Mr.. Mckinley practically had decided 10
wait until the entire 125,0e0 troops. as
specified in his first call. had been mus
cred in before making the second call.
which, he said, would be for $500 men,
as stated in The Times this morning.
The senator continued: Mr.. Mckinley
is beginning to realize that the war with
Spain is more than matter of mere
child's play, and that if the difficulty Is
not to be prolonged it must be by placing
such force of United States troops in
the field as will not leave the Spaniards
any chance to win.
"Of course, l do not mean to say that
Spain can, by any possibility, win out
but she can win a number of advantages
by pitting her strategy, which so often
has been proven to be superior to ours,
against our own inadequate land forces.
''The President will take no chances,
and rather than prolong the war need
lessly he will order out enough men to
sweep Spain of the map. 1t will be nee
essary TO send at least o,o0e or Il, coo men
to Cuba to invade the island Then, l
understand, it is contemplated to send
about $4,000 men to the Philippines. With
the 10000 or 900 men who will be sent
to Porto Rico as soon as arrangements are
completed for occupation, and the 5000
or more who will be shipped to the Ca
naries, the first quota will be found to be
entirely inadequate to the demands of the
war;

THE NEED OF A LARGER ARMY
Fifty Thousand Regulars May d
the Peace Establish mrnt.

Never before has the great need of a
standing army been forcibly brought
before the Government and people as
now.
Army officers are becoming very much
which the volunteer forces are being mus
tered into service and equipped for the
field. 1t can hardly be said that the War
Department is entirely responsible for
this delay. as it's officers have made ey-
/, cry effort to hurry the enlistment of men
and purchase of supplies.
In talking over ,the~tardiness of the
Army in getting into the field, several
prominent Army officers have said that IL
was entirely due to the poor organiza-
ton of the National Guard. Some States
called upon to furnish troops have So
called National Guard that is positively
without organization, and in some cases
the men even lack uniforms and modern
guns.
1t is more than twenty days since Presi-
dent Mckinley made the call for L.. 900
volunteers. and the latest reports show
that only $1,000 have been mustered in.
and only few regiments are at present
ready for actual service.
In the meanwhile the Navy has won
wonderful victory. The purpose of the
present war with Spain is to free Cuba
and establish in that island a stable form
of self-government. Up to the present
date no action has been taken by the
Army to end the misrule of the Spaniards
in Cuba. Army experts now declare that
if the United States had a standing army
of $1,000 men there is no doubt that the
war. as far as Cuba is concerned. would
have been ended by the present time.
Gen. Eagan, commissary general saws
recent Developments have conclusively
shown that II is impossible TO quickly fl,
an army for actual service. The quar-
termaster's department is eXerting every
resource in America to get equipment foi
the Army. and yet. it is said the supplies
are not being furnished half fast enough.
In Germany. France and other countries
which keep large standing armies there
are companies which make 1t their busI-
ness to attend solely to the wants of the
army. These concerns are able. at days
notice. to expand their resources enough
to quickly provide for the army in any
emergency. II the United States had a
larger Standing army such establishments
would spring into existence here.
Gen. Eagan said: "If. at the beginning
of the present war with Spain. the United.
States had been provided with a standing
army of 50, 600 men, the war on the Island
of Cuba would have been ended. On the
declaration of war we could nave imme-
diately put 40, 1000 well drilled and equipped
men into the field. and with the uss-s.-
ance of the Navy. this army coud have
easily taken Havana"
Many Army officers who have expressed
themselves in a like manner are of the
opinion that the Army of the United
States will never be again allowed to fall
below $1,000 men.

AFFAIRS IN JAPAN.
British Consul Fears Her Foreign
Policy VIII Make Trouble.

Victoria, B. c.. May 1s.-James Troup, for FIVE
years British consul general at Yokohama passed
through here today. en- route for London.
He declares the Radical wing is fast precipi-
tating japanese meddling with the Eastern sit
nation against the protests Of Premier Ito. and
that meddling at present would be madness.
Loft alone. the British diplomat is convinced,
the interested European powers will amicably
partition China. II not, the end cannot be fore
seen. Germany is at present negotiating for an
exchange of Kiao Chou for 4 more desirable want
age ground. Russia holds Port Arthur. Japan as
sents to the British possession Of Wci-Hai Wei,
and Japan viii ask for control over import
ant part of North China. as well as assurance
that Fokyien province, opposite Formosa, shall
not be ceded to any other foreign power. Money
was never SO stringent in Japan, says Mr.. Troup.
and japanese importers are experiencing the
greatest difficulty in making delivery Of goods
The adoption Of the gold standard has aggra-
waited the situation, the consul says. while the
rapidly increasing cost Of living is furnishing q
difacult problem. This national extravaganza is
the result Of success and quick civilization 1t
is advantageous only that it ends the fear that
Japan viii sweep the industries of the Occident
by chesp-labor competition. As her civilization
places her on competitive level so does the
price Of labor advance in corresponding ratio.
