A Striking Object Lesson,

The New York Press calls attention
to the fact that in the present period of
agitation over the health of troops in
camp, the reports Of the eight New York
colonies, whose commands have lain
all summer in more or less infected
places, is a matter not only for reassur-
ance but pride" 1t appears that these
eight regiments have been in camps In
ATTITUDES 1nimical to northern health,
and from which there has come much
complaint of disease. and yet each colo
mel is able to report generally healthful
conditions. This, the Press declares, is
due to the fact that the officers have
"waged ceaseless war against dirt,
home-sIckness and 1axity of sanitary
precautions" They have seen to It that
their men observed all the regulations
OF the surgeon generals department
This experience of the, eight New
York regiments in camps about which
complaints are being made, one of them
being Camp Thomas, serves to show
that much depends upon the observance
of the rules referred to, and upon the
competency Of the officers. Our own
West virginia troops, who have been at
Camp Thomas from the beginning, we
are pleased to say, have also escaped
with a mAa1num amount of sickness,
a fact due to the same reason noted in
the New York cases. Competent Off
GERS, who thoroughly realize their re-
sponsibllltIes, and the need OF enforc-
ing the laws OF health in a great MILL
tary camp, will keep down sickness to
reasonable limits. It would be strange,
indeed, II. in camp OF about $4,000 SOL
dIers, there should not be considerable
sickness. particularly in the heat of the
sumer season, and among troops who
are unused to army life. Strict discI-
plIne will so a long way toward pre-
serving the health of such troops, where
other conditions are equal,

and that is By constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dItion OF the mucous lining OF the Eus-

famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
lrely closed. Deafness Is the result,
md unless the Inflammation cnn be ia
ken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing

l.aI. II either eide chsuld mako new
propositions. the acceptance or rejection
depends upon the power granted by the
President ana the secretary OF state, in
the case OF the United States, and the
Spanish cabinet in the case Of Spain.
It should NOT be regarded that the pro-
tocoi fixed the exact terms OF the treaty
of peace, and that all there Is to do is
for the peace commission TO agree upon
the details. The protocol is but the basis
or foundation for the treaty. Peace
treaties of the past have sometimes rad
ically departed from this basis. where
both sides have mutually found It to
their advantage to do SO. In such a
case the respective governments would,
of course, have to be consulted.
The understanding that both commits
sions should consist of an equal number
of members is natural, and yet history
shows that this is not necessary, and
has not always been the case. In the
peace treaties we made with Great Brit
ain, at the close of the revolutionary
war and the war of 1912. the commits
sions were unequal os to number. One
commissioner for England and three for
the United States made the first named
treaty, and in 1918 Great Britain had
three commissioners and the United
States had five.
The extreme formallty which must
mark the proceedings of the peace COM
missions, and the habltual, vacIllation
and hesitation of Spain in all Interna-
tional agreements, together with the de-
termination on the part of that govern
ment to haggle over the Philippine
question, and to raise outside questions
of technical nature. such as the So
called Cuban debt, the value of govern
ment property in Cuba, Sc, all points
upon which It must inevitably yield,
warrant the prediction that the dellb-
eratIons at Paris will be very lengthy.

Boston Advertiser: Private Barber, of
Holyoke, Mass, n member OF Company
b, Twenty-frst United States infantry,
has been deafened for his lifetime by
the bursting of shell over his head in
the first days battle before Santiago.
He is a young recruit of three months,
and was in Ludlow's division IN the adj
vance on FL Caney. All day long he
was at those points where the battle
ragged the worst, and late in the after
noon he fell under the fierce fire Of shell
and shrapnel from the Spanish lines.
But, strangely enough, when he was
brought into the field hospital in the
evening not a mark or scratch OF any
kind was found upon him. Stranger
stlll, he was unable to understand sim
gle sentence addressed to him by the
surgeons. At last 1t occurred to them
to ask their questions in writing. These
he answered readily enough.
His speech had not been affected in
the least; but he had been so dazed that
all his talk was rambling and dlscon-
nected. The clearest deduction that the
surgeons could get from his story was
that "a bomb OF some kind" as he ex-
pressed it, had burst over his head and
he knew no more till he found himself in
the field hospital. The morning follow
ing the fight he disappeared, and when
the litter bearers and wagons lined up
to take the wounded to the brigade hos
pltaI, six miles to the rear, he was
among the missing.
Two or three days after he turned up
at slboney, down by the sea, nearly
twenty miles back from the battle line
as the bride path runs. He had been
given up for dead 1t being the general
belief that he had wandered off in the
Jungle and met his death at the hands
of the Spanish sharpshoote-s, He made
no explanation of his absence and walk
ed about for days like one bereft of rea-
son.
On the 14th he arrived at Fort Mon
roe, on the Cherokee. A careful test and
examination by the surgeons brought
them to the conclusion that he IS Stone
deaf" beyond any possibility of recuv-
cry. And so Barber. poor fellow, strolls
about the wards unable to listen to the
conversation OF his comrades or to ap-
precIate the music that he lovedso well
of the rsglmental band, and, to those
who know Of his amIction, 1t is a strange
sight to see his hat come OFF with the
thousands of others at the music of the
national air, as retreat" sounds in the
twilight of these August nights.

The Cars Peace Proposal

Whether the note which has been sub
mitted to the powers by the czar of Rus
Sia, and which has produced a sensation
throughout the world, particularly in
all the Countries affected, results in a
practical disarmament Of Europe and
the establishment of permanent peace
among the nations, or not, 1t invites a
movement of momentous import at an
opportune time, and cannot fail to have
a Wholesome effect.
The more remarkable is the effect OF
the important proposition for confer
ence, and the more startling it is be-
cause It comes from the source it does.
1t Is a confession from ruler Of great
military power that there are dangers
ahead Of the progressive mIlItarism
which has become the policy of his own
country as well as that of It's European
neIghbors. The car reads the warning
in the effect of the excessive armament
upon .thuse who must bear the burdens
Of the taxation, and he has inaugurated
the movement for a universal peace,
which will relieve the powers OF the
greatest source Of dissatisfaction among
the common people and advance civil.
ization on the lines of humanity and
prosperity.
There is little doubt that the propo-
sItion of the car will meet with great
favor among other nations though all
must realize the gigantic task which
is before them in coming to such an
agreement. There are commercial teal-
ousies and other considerations in the
way, but these obstacles could be over

There are some mistaken ideas con-
corning the manner In which the ses-
sIons Of the American and Spanish peace
commissions at Paris will be conducted
Notwithstanding much has been pub
lished on the subject. There is a sup7
position on the part of some, and COM
ments OF certain newspapers indicate
that It is somewhat general, that the
commissioners Of the respective coun-
tries will meet In Joint conference with
a presiding officer. and that the ques-
lions to arise. points Of difference
between the American and Spanish rep
resentatlvcs. will be decided by vote.
This IS only one OF the absurd Ideas
concerning the method. 1t dcean't seem
to occur to those who permit themselves
10 think OF such a manner OF framing
a treaty of peace tina; no treaty ever
could be agreed upon In such a way,
The fact OF the matter IS, no voting
whatever will be done There will be
no organization with presiding officer,
nor are there likely to be debates
upon points at issue. Proceedings OF
such peace conferences arc always In
writing. and the coming Paris confer
ence will be no exception to the rule.
1t would be possible for the commits
sloncrs on the part OF one country to be
double the number on the part Of tho
other. BY the method Of procedure this
doesn't matter. for disputed points are
submitted to the respective govern
ments. and the commissioners OF each
country act in accordance with the In
BtruetionS received from the home cap
