BENEFITS OF DELAY.
DR.. Johnson Favors n Further Stay
ut Montnuk.

DR.. H. L. Z. Johnson returned 10 Wash
ington yesterday from Montauk, where
he visited the District boys. In reference
TO the coming home of our heroes. he
says:
The men are undoubtedly better eff
in the hospital at Montauk than they
would be in Washington. They should
not be transported long distances. for
travel would be fatal 10 the average ty-
phoid patient, and they have the advant-
age Of location at the seaside. The care
of the sick in the hospital could not be
improved upon.
in general terms they are better there
than they would be anywhere else, but
they have suffered so much privaton and
have becomeg so mentally depressed from
homesickness, that they are pining from
that cause If this can be overcome by
their improved health and discipline,
they would prefer TO be there than come
home. Taking all! things into conSidera-
ton. | considered their inconsistencies
had reached that point where nothing
but returning home would improve them.
and | so advised. The fixing of day
for return had a decidedly beneficial ef-
feet upon all concerned. Men who had
previously been dull and disconsolate
cheered and shouted l believe that the
information of definite date will so
improve the spirits of the men that when
the day actually arrives l should not
be surprised 10 find them willing and
anxious to remain in camp longer. II has
been the uncertainty and unrest among
the men that caused the depression of
spirits One great trouble has been the
delay of their mails. They did not get
the letters sent to them in Cuba, and at
Montauk Point there was the same lack
of efficient postal service. If these boys
could have received the letters and pa
pers sent TO them. their homesickness
would have been greatly lessened. Our
committee witnessed wanton disregard
on the part of the postal authorities of
the necessity of seeing that letters reach
ed the persons to whom they were ad-
dressed"

ANGLO-GERMAN PACT.
Comments of the British Press on

Comments of the British Press on
the Recent Agreement.
London. Sept. S.-The St. James Ga
zette says that Mr.. Balfour's words in
explanation of the matter disposed of the
extreme form ascribed to the Anglo
German negotiations. nevertheless closer

natural. in view of recent events.
The Pail Mall Gazette amplifies the
statements which 1t made yesterday re-
garding the Anglo-German agreement.
which fact, it says. marks the beginning
of a common act rather than the conc!us-
ion of a fast and final treaty such as
that between Russian and France or the
alliance of German. Austria and Italy.
The Westminster Gazette says that the
repor ed offensive and defensive alIi-
ance between Great Britain and Germany
is improbable
