Praise For Private Who Faced the

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The cpl
demic of cholera has been particularly
hard upon the medical corps Of the
army stationed Oh the Philippine Is
lands, and the casualty lists received
here show that the surgeons and the
hospital corps have borne their share
of the suffering. Surgeon General For

announced as follows:
"The death Of Private Joseph &. NJ.
Eiscman, hospital corps, L. S. A., is
announced Private EiSrman was de
tailed to face death as Il cholera nurse
for one of our comrades and died from
the disease, caught from his charge,
an example of devotion to duty to be
held up for all men to emulate.
''Priyate Leonard +. Stevenson, hos,

nurse both Of our comrades. with the
knowledge that his predecessor had
been cut down while performing the

THE KAISER WARNED
Urged Not to Visit Poland In

RACIAL FEELING At FEVER HEAT.
Emperor william liz Not Likely to
Be Turned From His Purpose.
To Declare Governments
Policy For Poles.

BERLIN, July 24.-Co,Tt Chamber
lain Won Morawsii, Polish landed
magnate, has appealed to Emperor
William not to visit Posen during the
army maneuvers to be held in Septem-
Der, as his majesty had planned to do.
The chamberlain fears that some Pol
ish fanatic might attempt to harm the
emperor Racial feeling is described
as at fever heat, and several Berlin
journals take the view that it would
be unwise for the emperor to expose
himself unnecessarily.
Tie Post Conservative says it is in
formed that it would greatly relieve
those responsible for his ma jesty's
safety to learn that he had given up
the trip. Prominent Germans residing
in Posen are glad that the Polish Off
Gals and nobility have determined not
to attend the festivities, as thereby the
chances of unpleasant incidents aris-
ing are lpssencd.
1t is scarcely likely that Emperor
William will act upon Chamberlain
Won MorAwski's appeal, because his
majesty never permits himself to
change his plans on account Of the
timidity of his advisers. He goes any
where he thinks duty calls him, and,
besides, 1t is his purpose to declare the
governments Polish policy while in
Polish territory, and his giving up Of
personal supervision Of the maneuvers
would be unprecedented.
The Polish question Is regarded as
the most pregnant in the governments
domestic policy. While no observer be-
lieves the Polish agitation can really
amount to much ultimately, it is en-
burrassing the relations with Austria
and Russia. The Poles in Galicla en-
joy LEGAL self government and press

trasls are made in the Austrian press
