Ocean Yacht Races.

The offer of Sir Thomas Upton of an
international challenge trophy for a
transatlantic yacht race open to the
world, is sure to arouse much interest
on both sides Of the water, and proves
that the owner of the three defeated
ShamrOcks is still a true sportsman,
though he despairs of finding an Eng
lish builder who can beat the creations
Of the Herreshoffs. The trophy which
he offers is not intended in any sense
to be rival for the Americas cup as
the blue ribbon Of the sea, but to en-
courage a revival of the old sport of
ocean racing. For transatlantic rae
ing Is nothing new though in the oId
days when these 5000 mile races were
tried there was always a loss of life by
men being swept overheard.
No doubt the English yachtsmen. who
look upon the Columbia and Reliance
as mere racing machines" will be
anxious to compete for the new trophy,
since they have an idea that the Eng
lish built yachts are more seaworthy.
But the American yachtsmen have no
reason to fear, or the same skill in de-
signing. building and sailing yachts.
which won the Americas cup and has
SO successfully defended it for over
half century, will now be able to pro-
duce an ocean-gOing craft to compete
successfully with anything which may
be launched abroad. The America her
self was an going craft, and so
have been many of her successors. 1t
is not unlikely that the proposition OF
Sir Thomas may result in a transat-
lantic race next year. or a year later
but however popular such races become
and whatever their result, the Ameri-
cas- cup races will remain the final test
for international yachting supremacy
We cannot help believing that if both
races continue to be held, we shall
merely have two cups on this side to
defend instead of one as at the present
time

The Health of the Army.

general of our regular army, Which,
was made public last week, presents
some interesting facts and figures re-
garding the health of the American
soldier. 1t shows that the death rate
has increased from 1894 a thousand IN
1901, to 1910 a thousand in 1907. In the
latter year there was a larger amount
of cholera in the Philippines, and this
accounted. in a measure, for the in
crease, though the skill of our medical
CORDS and the robust condition of our
soldiers kept the death rate from this
cause down to less than four to thou
sand.
It is surprising to learn that there
was more sickness and higher death
rate among the negro soldiers in the
Philippines. than among the white SOL
diers. 1t was supposed the former
would be particularly adapted to SER
vice in such a climate as the Philip
rines. and some who studied the situa-
ton prOIeSSeu " peileNe tiidt IL Woui't
be wise to have our Philippine army
composed wholly of negroes, but the
strates that the white soldiers stand
the Philippine climate better than their
colored comrades. 1t is we'll settled
that the Philippine climate has a de-
bilitating effect on our soldiers, just
as any other tropical climate would
have on any soldiers from the temper
ate zones, but with short service terms
for the troops who are sent there, it IS
believed that a good record will be
maintained.
One of the most interesting chapters
in the report is that on the use of al
coholic drinks in the army, and it re-
veals the fact that the Filipino is
about the most temperate individual
who sees army service anywhere. and
out of the 5000 Of these native Filipinos
who have enlisted in the United States
service. only three individuals We're
trated for alcoholism during the last
year, while the white soldiers We're adj
mitted to the hospital, on account of
their misconduct in the use of alcohol,
at the rate of Is a thousand. and col
sand.
The report does not minca matters in
blaming the adjustment of the canteen
at our army posts for much of the in
crease OF intemperance and disease in
the army. General Frederick D..
Grant in his annual report made d plea
for the re-establishment of the EN-
listed mans club" on the ground that
these Places keep the soldier away from
other haunts where he is robbed of his
money and injured morally and physi-
cally. Hundreds of officers have taken
the same ground and have shown that
assertions and breaches of discipline
have been of more frequent occurrence
since the canteenS were CLOSED, ana
now the surgeon general in his report
adds strength to the arguments OF
these officers by attributing the in
crease of diseases caused by intem-
perance and excuses to the abolition
of the canteen. He says: 1T is i'm
possible not to attribute large part of
the steadily increasing disease Of the
army to the loss Of the canteen, where
the soldier, if he so desired, could get
his beer throughout the month, but
was not subjected to the temptations
to intemperance and vice now at
tendant on the expenditure of a full
months pay at the low resorts infest-
ing the outskirts of our military reser-
vations.''
