The reports about Admiral Dewey's health are
disquieting. Some time ago, when the Pres-
dent suggested that he should come home. he re-
piled that he thought he was needed at Manila
and preferred to stay there until his task had
been completed. But the strain has not been
much. If at all, relaxed since then, and it Is only
natural to fear that it is proving too great for
his physical forces. If not for his iron will. 1t Is
TO be hoped that his judgment. which is infalli-
bic where the treatment Of others is concerned
may not be defective in respect to himself.
