MILK AND GERMS.

A Transvaal doctor is credited With
the discovery of new curative treat
ment. He asserts that he can cure per-
sons of smallpox, fevers, diphtherla
and many other maladies by simply
wrapping them in milk sheets. The
patient is laid on mattress covered
with blankets, and is packed in sheet
just large enough to envelop the body.
The sheet has been saturated in pint
and a half of warm milk, and is ap-
piled TO the body without wringlng.
After lying still for an hour thus
swathed, the patient is sponged with
warm water, or put into warm bath
for few moments TO remove the milk
The treatment is based on the germ
absorbing power OF milk, and the idea
of it is said to have been suggested
by the fact that milk absorbs poison
Gus germs from a bucket in which ii
has been standing.

Froude was another ''pessimist." In
his study of Caeser he writes: IF there
be- one lesson which history clearly
teaches it is this: that free nations
cannot govern subject provinces. If
they are unwilling or unable to admit
their dependencies to share their own
constitution, the constitution itself will

GOV. ATKINSON'S ARMY

1.-THE War Department continues to
have trouble with Gov. Atkinson, of
West Virginia" says the Washington
correspondent of the New York Times,
who is said to be the only State exec
utive who has lost his temper since
the war began. The Governor has a
fully Differed regiment which he has
set his head on getting into the ma
tional service as a body, regardless of
the fact that the regiment he supplied
under the first call is 300 short, and
that when 300 of his second quota have
been taken to fill it ne will not be en-
titled to a full regiment in addition
The Governor has worked himself into
state of mind over the question, and
in the course of the Geographic cor
respondence which it has provoked. is
said to have used language that might
be military but not parliamentary. 1t
is possible that the War Department
may have to grant his demands in Or
der to preserve peace
The Times man has hit the nail on
the head That is the pass to which it
has come. But the real milk in the
cocoanut is that, not content with mus
tering the volunteers under the Pres1-
dents call out Of the service of the
State as national guardsmen, which al
n
guard regiments and thus provide sew
eral of his friends and political pets
with uniforms and commissions, Gov.
Atkinson, who seems to have verlt-
able army of the aforesaid friends and
pets to look after, wants to create an
entirely new volunteer regiment for
the present war with a full set OF Off
GERS. Indeed, he has already appoint
ed the officers of the new regiment,
hence his quarrel with the War De-
parrtment, which simply desired to re-
cruit the first regiment from this State
I'D to its proper quota out OF the sec
ond. But Atkinson had his political
pets already selected and tagged and
he wasn't going to offend them and
make a bad political mess Of 1t by
turning them down, War Department
or no War Department.
Verify, George Wesley ought to get
out of the G. 0. p, for he has an all

advocate of State rights. in this re-
snect at least that in the matter OF

a SHADDY RECORD.

Not since the battle OF Lepanto, in
1911, has Spain given a good account
of herself in naval warfare. In that
battle Spain, with. the aid of the Cen
oese and Venetian fleets, administered
such a crushing defeat to Turkey that
1t destroyed the power Of the Sultan
on the seas for all time to come. That
was the last of SPANS naval victories.
Seventeen years later she sent her
boosted inyincible Armada, the great
est collection of warships ever seen,
against England. What the storm off
the English coast left of this splendid
flotilla Francis Drake, the dragon of
the sea, disposed Of.
In 1904 Spain lost Gibraltar, and
England has held it ever since. Three
months after its capture the allied
forces of Spain and France tried to re-
take the fortress, and lost 10000 men
in the endeavor. The effort was re-
peated by Spain alone in 1920, and
again in 1927, both times with disas-
trOus results.
France came to the help of Spain
again in 1879, but the English beat
them back from Gibraltar with heavy
losses.
1881 Spain once more attacked Glib
raltar, and suffered the loss of 49,
600 men. France again aided in 1882,
but the allies were utterly defeated.
Spain since that time has given up
hope of recapturing Gibraltar.
On July 81, 171S, Spain lost to Eng
land twenty-nine battleships at Mes
sina. In 1880 Rodney administered a
severe defeat to the Spanish fleet off
Cape Vincent, where her warships
were recently gathered.
A far worse thrashing was given
her by that greatest of all sea-fight
ers, Horatio Nelson, at Trafalgar.
where with far inferior feet he al
most annihilated the combined naval
strength of France and .pain.
SPANS latest naval defeat before the
battle of Manila was in 1866, when
Peru, with few ships, most of them
borrowed from Chile, utterly defeated
a stronger Spanish fleet. Admiral
Peieja, the Spanish commander, was
SO mortified at the result that he retired
to his cabin and blew out his brains.
Commodore Dewey and his gallant
men have added another to the long
unbroken and dismal list Of Spanish
defeats at sea; Admiral Sampson will
soon add another-From the Atlanta
Journal.

THE UNDERGROUND TROLLEY

Apropos to st. Louis's experience with
electrolysis by the use of the overhead
trolley, it is interesting to know that
the principal street railways of New
York are about to reconstruct their en-
tire system on the underground trolley
plan on all the main lines
The tracks of tie companies which
will institute this change in motive
power are $50 miles long. The changes
will cost 10000, 900. 1t is intended
that the change will be completed with
IN two years. At the estimate for the
total cost it will amount to 100000 a
mile.
The underground trolley is an i'm
provement over that which operates by
overhead wires. The poles and over
head wires are dispensed with, remov-
ing serious distractions and sources of
danger from the streets. But greater
improvement is desirable. The slot is
a miserable continuance, interferes with
teaming and often catches laorses by the
calks Of their shoes. Inventive genius
should devise something much better.
Experts and scientists are still work
ing at the storage battery and COM
pressed air problems and some pro-
gress has been made toward their solu
ton. Either should furnish an ideal
motive power. not only for traction
purposes but for all machinery.
AS passed by the Senate, the War
Revenue bill is expected to raise $780,
100000 per year. A neat sum, and yet
not enough to pay the expenses of the
war cash down should it last a year,
according to Senator Hale's estimate
that for that period it would cost be-
tween 500, O0O, 600 and $500, 900 900. But
Uncle Sans credit is gilt-edged.

OUR GUARD INSULTED.

weston Stdle Il1HeS tttepuDilcdH).
Governor Atkinson has insulted our
State National Guard, by discharging
all the mem5srs of that organization
who enlisted in the United States army,
and putting all WHO did rot so enlist
on the supernumerary list. The mag
nitude of his offense is heightened by
the organization of a new guard with
the minimum number of men.
The Governor limits the number Of
men to a company to %, and six COM
panies to a regiment. There are 16
officers, however, to each company,
some of whom are taken from the
ranks. And there will be more officers
than privates in each company. But II
the officers were all taken from else
where than the ranks, the total strength
of a regiment would be 264 men, of
whom 1913 would be soldiers and 96
officers, not counting all the varieties
of generals and assistant generals that
Guard law provides for. For every
five men there are to be tlree officers.
This is another contemplate piece OF
jingoism for the purpose of providing
military honors for political hobos VINO
did little dirty jobs for the Governor
during the campaign. The ridiculous
part about it is the formation of mil
itary company at a time when it may
be called upon for active duty with
three officers for every five men. Why
not let them all be officers? OF what
service can such a Guard be? None
whatever. 1t is Of no earthly use ex-
cept to furnish official plums for a
hoard of "genteel fellows who are too
lazy to work for a living and who are
too cowardly to go to the front if
needed, besides it is another of the
many beautiful schemes to spend reck-
lessly and foolishly the peoples money.

WE WANT THOSE SHIPS.

BY the bravery and daring of young
Lieutenant Hobson and the seven
other heroes with him who sank the
Merrima. Xmid a rain of shot and shell
tiago harbor, the fleet of Admiral Ger
vera is bottled up and cOrkeG tight.
One or two of our vessels can Illustrate
any attempt to clear away the wreck
Of the collier, and the remainder of the
fleet under Sampson and Schley can be
devoted to other work.
The main point is Cervera is corked
up tight, and those fine ships he has
can't get away until we give them per-
mission. AS We have already pointed
out, the four cruisers under Cervera
are among the most effective ships
aficat in the important factors of speed,
armament and displacement, while the
two Or more torpedo boat destrOyers
are ranked as among the most for
midable vessels of their class. These
ships could not be duplicated for less
than sixteen million dollars, it is esti-
mated, and we want them. We need
them and we ought to use every pre-
caution to prevent Cervera from de-
stroying them, as he probably would in
preference to allowing them to fall
into our hands. The question is how
TO do this Now that Cervera knows
he is bottled up with no chance of es-
cape, he may resolve to waste no time
and take no chances, but sink his YES
sells at once. If RetwoIhdo only do this
sink his vessels instead of first blow
ing them up-we might raise them and
have them made good as new at com
paratively little cost. Besides, there is
another point in view for Cervera to
take and which ought to cause him to
hesitate before destroying all this val
liable property When the United
States shall call upon Spain at the close
OF the war for an indemnity, Spain will
find herself bankrupt She can pay an
indemnity only in property, her fleets
and islands. Her effective vessels Of
war would be the most available of her
assets True, the feet. of Cervera
would be ours irrespective of a de-
mand for indemnity, but Uncle Sam is
nothing if not generous and would
make a liberal allowance, especially if
ne secured such fine ships of war as
these are. Moreover, captured fleet
would scarcely be different from cap
tured island as to our right of owner
ship by conquest The principle is the
same, at any rate, although the same
form necessary to complete our title to
islands would not apply in the case of
captured ships. Hence, as Spain would
have nothing else to pay us with and
as we would probably allow this cap
tured property to figure as an offset to
our claim. 1t would manifestly be the
height of folly for a Spanish COM
mander to destroy his ships in case of
defeat He would simply be robbing
his country of that amount of value
which nigh be used in paying the in
demnity of the war.
This matter might be brought to Ger
veras attention before he is inpelled
by desperation to do anything rash to
those ships. AS patriotic Spaniard.
Re would probably not hesitate to
k*hten the burden upon his country as
