Military authorities in Great Britain
are agreed IN the opinion that the 126,
500 men to be added to the British
army cannot be had without resort to
CONSUMPTION in some form. A similar
state of affairs may be disclosed in the
United States before the new army of
10000 regulars shall have been recruit
ed. Within the past two months, ac-
cording to War Department records,
only $3.50 enlisted men have been Sc
cured by the Federal recruiting offices.
At this rate year will have elapsed
before the $4,000 new troops requir-
ed shall be enrolled. The physical
standard of the service is high, and the
men who can measure up to it may
easily find more useful and profitable
employment than is offered in the army
rank and file.

THE EDITORIAL.

Henry Watterson does not believe
that the strong editorial and the re-
sponsible conduct of newspaper have
lost their influence. Here is striking
and true article from the Courler-Jour-
nal:
''The writing of the right sort of edi-
torial matter is most difficult. 1t is as
unlike, the more carefully considered
magazine article, as debating is unlike
defamation, or driving yoke of oxen
is unlike driving locomotive; though
it lacks neither reflection nor power
Adequately to put it together on the
editorialial page implies trained intel
ligence, laborious and painstaking
But it will pay on these investments;
and, hence, it Is our opinion that whilst
the wooden work of the house carpen-
ter which passes for editorial writing
will go and ought to go, writing of the
kind described will last as long as peo-
pie care to take and to read the daily
newspaper. In the proportion that it
is DISTINGUISHED, that it represents gem
u1ne conviction and that it deals fairly
both by the public and the subject

England's action may probably delay
