WARS GREATEST LESSON.

Is Has Shown the Evil Effects of Dis
slpation Among Young Men.
Detroit Free Press: Tho percentage
Of volunteers who are rejected by the
surgeons ranges from 10 10 20 per cent.
At Island Lake on Wednesday 700 men
were examined and only so per cent were
accepted. Considering that the candi-
dates for enlistment nre mostly young
men, and that they have been able to
come up to the physical requirements
In the national guard, this is a d!scour-
nGingly largo proportion Of incapables.
From other state camps the report
comes that disqualification Is due In the
majority OF cases to heart weakness,
attributable generally to cigarette
smoking and not infIcqucntly to cX-
cesslvc bicycle riding. The young men
who belong to our militia arc SO cir
cumstanced In life that there Is scarce
~ any excuse for serious physical disa-
bility. They are comfortably housed,
well fcd and adequately clothed. OF rec
reations and fresh mir they nave an
abundance. They have only their own
immoderatcncss In the use OF tobacco or
the wheel or excuses OF other kinds TO
blame for their failure to go to the front
with their fellows
1t is q safe guess that many Of the
young men who get into the service
have more luXuiies and more license
than Is good for their physical well be-
Ing. Once under strict military discl-
plinc they will realize the wholesome
results Of simple fare, regular habits
and systematic exercise. It Is regrctta-
bic that any OF our young men must
have to go to war to learn the value of
these simple rules OF llving--the incstl-
mable advantage OF n sclf-restralned
and wcll-ordcrcd life. E
As for those who have been set aside
by the examiners, their rejection will be
worth more than two years In the SER
vice 10 them II the humilntlng and dis
appointing experience impels them TO

The Real Invasion.

A statement made by Secretary Of
War Alger concerning the intention to
send an impatient Pennsylvania regi-
ment to Cuba when the invasion OF
Cuba takes place" Is regarded as sight
ficant Of the fact that the expedition of
the troops under General Shafter to
Santiago is not regarded by the gov
ernment as an invasion Uf Cuba in
force. It is an invasion, OF course. and
is formidable one, which will doubtless
accomplish splendid service, but it is not
the movement which Is to end military
operations.
There are reasons, logical and wise
that the principal invasion, which will
be on large scale. will no, be at once
and which ore being accepted as wise by
the general public. now that the facts
are known. Some time since General
Miles and other high military authori-
ties were quoted as being opposed to
sending great volunteer army, such as
would be necessary 10 besiege and take
Havana, during the summer season, on
the ground that the climate would be
more disastrous to such an army than
even a superior force OF Spanlards
would be.
The wisdom OF the course which Is
now being pursued is sustained by all
VINO are held to oe competent nuthorI-
tics on the climatic conditions in Cuba,
including General Lee. Gomez. the in
surgent leader, and many others. The
statement attributed to the surgeon
general Of the army that there would be
no danger Ia sending the great army OF
invasion during this season to Cuba to
make the decisive movement on Hava-
ma, never was made by him. An official
letter 10 the war department from the
surgeon general himself expresses just
the opposite View. He shows that be-
tween the. first of May and the FIRST OF
November. yellow fever Is most prevn-
lent in the vicinity Of Havana, and the
result Is always un epidemic among un-
protected persons. This, he says, pro-
duces mortality OF from twenty to
forty per cent among victims to the
fever. To send an army of from forty
to fifty thousand American volunteers,
most of them unaccllmated and unsea-
Goned. inNsuch a season, would be send
Ing It to face a danger more terrible
and moro fatal thun would be faced In
battle. ysj& "
with the development OF these facts
comes the sober second thought, of those
who have been crying "on to Havana
The course being pursued Is TO capture
tho Cuban ports, cut off all means or

making 1t very interesting" but tina, he
believes that he has .'brough. forward
q Jew faets which no ono else ever dis
covered" Barring the remark about It
being an uninterestins article, the
writer Is correct.
Mr.. Maxwell has contributed come
thing concerning The early. history OF
tho state. particularly the northern por.
ton. which has not been thoroughly un.
derstood by the later generations, and
which will do good among people who
arc inclined to investigate. There are
no details. but there IS sufficient to give
tho younger West vlrglnians b cue for
the searching out OF a most Interesting
phase OF Our carly history,

The Philippin. Orders.

The order of the war department, by
direction OF the President, constituting
the forces sent to Manila an army corps,
with General Merritt, in command, and
empowering him TO transfer the CON-
mand to the next officer in rank, In his
own discretion, whenever he deems 1t
necessary to be free TO devote his atten-
{ ton TO important matters Of government
connected with the Philippine islands,
does not Justify the extravasant con-
4 structlon placed upon It by some acnsa-.
donal papers.
The idea that this Is TO be taken as an
indication that the government Is to
adopt policy of imperialism" as the
evening paper here has 1t, Is unwar-
ranted. 1t undoubtedly means, how
ever that the United States expects to
hold possession OF the Philippines until
the final disposition OF them under
whatever terme OF peace arc determined
upon.
n In the meantime. it woull be strange.
indeed, Il a military government, with
$thc American commander at the head,
were not maintained. The policy con-
corning the future of the Philippines Is
yet to be determined. Violent assump-
lions concerning thcPresidcnts policy at
: this tlmeby the sensational press are I'M
warranted by any official act or utter
once, whatever may be the develop
ments of the future. now a matter OF
speculation, but always q matter FOR
grave consideration.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able TO cure In all its stages and
that Is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure Is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires n con-
st!tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally. acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature In do
Ing its own work. The proprietors have

II Spain counts her boas,ed honor as
worth anything in the eyes OF civilized
nations she had better recall Blanco
from Cuba, providing, OF course, ne is
able to get out, and send come one who
has some appreciation OF tho rules and
customs OF civilized warfare. Tho cap
tain general at Havana hasn't been
quite SO brutal in his policy as was
Weyler, perhaps, but In one or two In.
stances recently he has shown himself
to be totally void Of the principles
which govern honorable commanders in
war.
Ono evidence of Blancos thirteenth
century method Of establishing rules Of
war In the light Off civilization OF the
present age is his notification to the
American fleet that he Will hereafter
recognize no flag OF truce, and That all
vessels would be fired upon within
range of six miles of the coast, no mat
ter whether they carried the stars and
stripes or a truce signal. While this IL
not regarded as q matter over which the
United States need exhibit any anxiety,
1t is taken as another evidence Of the
supreme disregard OF civilized methods
OF warfare, as exhibited by the Spanish
commanders on both land and sea. 1t Is
in keeping with the act Of the Spanish
warshlp during the battle OF Manila in
displaying token of surrender and then
firing upon the American sailors who
were sent to take Possession. of the ves-
sci. For that treacherous act Dewey
promptly sent, the Spanish ship 10 the
bottom of,the sea.
This latest performance OF Blanco.' Is
one Of the many instances which so to
show the character Of. the enemy. The
same lack Of regard for a civilized
course permeates the entire Spanish
army and navy. It Is giving the United
States no especial concern, for # will not
alter the result OF the war, but It should
give the Spanish government concern,
for It but adds to the reckoning that Is
being laid up against Spain, and is con-
tributing nothing to the sympathy she Is
praying for to the European powers.
