GENERAL WOOD MUST ANSWER.

1t win be a great mistake II these
charges against General Wood are not
investigated and sifted until we learn
Just what there is in them. II would
detract from his future usefulness to
reach conclusion that does not have
for its basis The full knowledge Of his
conduct while in Cuba. Even II we
dismiss the evidence of Rathbone and
Neely as being untrustworthy' and
though we are willing to overlook eny
injustice that he may have done Gem
eral Brooke. when that officer was in
command, still the most serious charge
remains unsettled.
II is not pleasant 10 read that the
head OF our army accepted a gift from
a gambling concern, presumably in re-
turn for certain concessions and for
protection. Yet this is the charge.
The charge is sufficiently definite to be
met: Il is to the effect that the Jai
Alai gambling concern paid him $1,000
for his personal use. Should that be
substantiated OF course it would show
General Woods unworthiness TO oc-
cupy even a humble place in the army.
And il innocent. which is Of course the
presumption. there Is not the slightest
doubt that he viii demand rigid in
vestigation.
But the time has come for him to
speak. Men don't brush aside such a
charge contemptuously when there is
the means Of disproving II. General
Wood Is in the Philippines, but he OF
course has been kept informed OF the
objection to his confirmation. and OF
the nature Of the charges against him

dent and to his country 10 rcrute these

The Church Attendance Census.

From the New York sun.
The census of the church attendance
in the district Of Manhattan Island to
the north of Central Park ana TO the
west down to Eighty-first street, taken
on Sunday. November 10, may be re-
garded as approximately accurate, for
the return OF churchgoers proportion
ately to the population of the region
is about the same as that shown by a
similar census for the whole borough,
taken a year ago. That is, less than
a quarter Of the population are to be
found in the churches on Sunday.
In London the percentage of church
attendance as enumerated by the Daily
News of that town was about the
same. In Boston, where a similar CEN
sus Is about to be taken. the results
are not likely to be far different.
In this uptown district of Manhattan
Il was found that women were in n
great majority among the attendants.
That, too. is the general experience. In
the Roman Catholic churches they
were two thirds Of Thea whole; in the
Protestant, 56.6 per cent. Women and
children together, made mp 1914 per
cent. OF the Roman Catholic attend
ance and 67 per cent. OF the Protestant.
The whole number of men IN the
churches on that fine November Sun
day was only 29.2ss. both Protestant
and Catholic out OF a total population
of the district estimated at 43s,065. IN
the Catholic churches the percentage
OF men was about 20.5, in the Protest
ant about 32.9.
At all times the pillar of the church
has been the religious faith OF women.
but probably never before to as great
an extent as it Is now. In this district
OF Manhattan males and females in the
population were not far apart in num-
ber IN 1900. or 2O3.54O males to 1895
females. yet two-thrds Of the church
attendance was made up of women.

A memorandum explanatory OF the
provisions of the Penal Servitude bill
has been issued. stating that the object
of this bill is to make better provision
for dealing with persons who habitu-
ally lead a life Of crime. and on whom
ordinary sentences usually fail to have
either a deterrent or n reformatory ef-
feet. Whether the sentences are short
or long, the "habituols' return TO crime
almost as soon as they are released. and
speedily find their way back to prison
again.
In the interests Of society. the only
thing that can be done with such per-
sons is to segregate them for long
periods, during the greater part Of
which it is not necessary that treat
ment should be severe. 1t is sufic-
lent that they should be under az
cipline, and compulsorily kept apart
from the rest of the world. For this
purpose "a modified form of penal SER
vitude is necessary.
