THE EAMERICAN ANSOLDIERINT THE PHILIPPINES
An Experts Optimistic View of the Insanity Question

per cent have been due to alcohol
ism.
81 have been informed that few
patients received here have been adj
dicted to drinking the native liquor
known as 'bino,' which possesses
much the same properties as wood al
cohol. Only very small number of
the soldiers from the Philippines have
been violent; not more than B or 4
per cent, / should say. The prevail
ing form of insanity among these
soldier patients is melancholia at
tended by nervous depression. At a
rough estimate 1 would say that
about 20 per cent of them prove in
curable.
1T is my best impression that rela-
lively, the soldiers engaged in the
Cuban campaign would show larger
percentage of insanity among them
than is the case with those coming
from the Philippines. The mental
condition of the men in the Philip
pines will compare favorably with
that of the English soldiers in South
Africa.
"One of the most prolific sources OF
disease in the Philippines is impure
water. 1t is claimed by some that the
use of quinine tends to produce in
sanity. / have never known insan-
ity to be caused by it's use. l believe
that heat prostrations which do not
to sunstrokes are undoubt-
edly the cause of temporary insar-
ity. Recurring attacks of these pros
trations are apt to be attended by
bad effect upon the mind.
There is no real foundation for the
hue and cry about alcoholism being
the cause of insanity among the
soldiers in the Philippines
The above is very fair and ac-
curate statement of the facts re-
garding insanity among the Philip
pine soldiers.

Robert Burns.

The Tilt o love. the CLINT o wit,
The courage without fear,
Whatever is TO human hearts
And human lives most near.
In bubbling laughter. tender song,
or sudden music sweet and strong,
Love, life and laughter drift along
In carols old and dear.
Where alien skies are bending fair
BY tropic sea or sand.
Or sweeps the icy BOrthwind o'cr
The waste Of snowy land.
Wherever hearts of Scotland meet
ON lonely hill or busy street,
The cOuntersign rings clear and sweet,
And they shall understand.
The songs 50 full Of life as fresh
As fragrance OF The heather,
As true as love that never falls
Through fair or stormy weather,
Wherever men are leal and true,
Or rivers run or skies be blue,
As summer sunlight draws the dew,
They draw all hearts together.

Hunting the South Pole.

An antarctic exploring expedi
tion, which is to set out from
Scotland next year, will be pecu-
liarly national one. The whole
OF the money subscribed toward it
has been given by Scotchmen, and
the scientific staff and ships Off
GERS and crew are of the same race.
The ship is Norwegian whaler,
but as 1t is being taken to the
Clyde to be repaired there, it will
be stamped with a Scottish charac-
ter by the ting it is fitted out.
This will be accomplished by about
the beginning of August, when the
Hecla will go for trial trip in the
Atlantic to test gear and instru-
ments. W. S. Bruce. who has had
experience in both polar extremi-
tiles, is the leader OF the eXpedi-
ition. Its goal is the Weddell Sea,
and it will thus cooperate in
complete scheme of exploration
with the German expedition on one
side and the Swedish on the other.

around the temples and the crows feet
begin to show, and the figure begins to
grow stout and ungraceful, and the own
ers OF these depreciating charms are
not yet fully reconciled to the state of
things. But none of these matters trou-
bled the two people in question.
There was a soft color in the cheeks
of the woman, and she wore a knot OF
violets in her rather shabby gown. The
mans eyes were shining with content
ed sort of light, and his voice had the
gayety of boys. Presently, as the con-
ductor began to collect fares he drew out
his pocketbcok and showed her some

his tickets to the conductor the latter

A Corcoran Gallery Trustee.

The trustees of the Corcoran Art CAL
lery made very wise selection in elect
ing Mr.. a. ]. Parsons a member OF their
body. Mr. Parsons has been closely iden-
titled with all matters pertaining to art
in Washington. He is discriminating
critic and an ardent amateur. and we
feel assured that his council will add
much to the conduct of the Corcoran
Gallery. Last year Mr.. Parsons offered a
prize cf s100 to be awarded to the best
landscape in the annual exhibition of the
Society of Washington Artists, and the
same generous proposition is made by
him this year. This is substantial evil
dence of his interest in the society and
his example should be followed by other
citizens who wish to see Washington an
art centre.

Washington Artists in Philadelphia.

Seven Washingt on artists are well rep
resented in the Philadelphia exhibition
Mrs. R. c. Child, Miss Edith B. Ward,
and Messrs. Weyl. Paris, Floyd. Warner,
and Hobart Nichols. We heartily endorse
the opinions recently expressed by con-
temporary who pointed out the great ad-
vantage TO be derived by the artist who
is courageous enough to place his work
in open competition with the best. If a
body of men such as composed the jury
for the Philadelphia exhibition refuses
picture. then the artist must realize that
that particular work was not as good as
he thought; but, On the other hand, If the
picture is accepted the artist has right
to feel that his work has merit. 1t is an
excellent test, for the personal element is
eliminated when the artist sends his work
before a jury to whom he is stranger.
This is the nearest approach to impartial
judgment and perfect justice.
