In France the expectation of long

What is the use of self deception? There
Is every reason to fear In view of lie
present situation, that the war will last a
long time. Nor is this a vain prognosti-
cation, an airy apprehension. 1t is an OBJ
servatlon dictated by common sense based
upon the more or less complete success Of
the Japanese at the outset
Subject for the most serious reflection Is
afforded by the fact that the Initial adj
vantages, although doubtfully obtained by
the Japanese fleet without previous dec
laration of war, open up limitless horizons
to the duration of hostilities
suppose the contrary had happened
suppose the Japanese had been vanquish-
ed on the water and their fleets sunk or
dispersed. 1t being generally conceded
that the Russian army would obtain SOON
er or later vindication of its prowess on
land. that very fact must not only have
localized the conflict. but have limited it's
duration This was The earnest hope Of
all the powers.
The stroke at Port Arthur and in gem
eral the superiority of the Japanese on the
water have destroyed this hope. The net
result has been to intensity their enthusi-
asm, and 1t may now be deemed certain
that land war alarms them no more
than a naval war. All the news that
comes from the far east shows that the
Japanese rely for ultimate victory as
much upon tncir soldiers as they do upon
their Warslips
And this is the Japanese delusion which,
1t seems to us, must fatally prolong the
war
That the Russians themselves expect
and are preparing for long struggle
before the Japanese are beaten is ap-
parent and is covertly voiced by more
than enc st. Petersburg journal 1t Is
possible, thinks the Novoc Vremya
that another Sevastopol awaits Russia
and adds: 2
We are willing to concede that the Rus
sian nation may find that the Japanese
phantom has reality. We cannot go back.
Before the outbreak of the war we were
at liberty to attempt everything that
seemed possible. We could have put off
the question of the far east. leaving 1t to
posterity, which will be stronger and
more enterprising. But now we must take
this question upon ocr shoulders in all it's
after the fashion Of Atlas. a

Beer and Cancer.

Chicago Inter Ocean: DR.. Alfred
Wolff, as the result of a wide and care
full study Of the statistics Of cancer in
Europe and America, reaches several
interesting conclusions.
l. He finds that cancer Is most COM
mon in thickly wooded and well wa
tered districts.
2. He discovers that all the districts
Of high canoe mortality are those in
which beer or cider Is largely drunk.
Bavaria, for instance. shows the
highest cancer death rate in Germany,
and Salisbury in Austria. In France
there is the most marked contrast be-
tween the high cancer mortality in the
beer drinking departments n the low
cancer death rate elsewhere. DR.. Wolff
also finds that the increased
ton Of beer in England Of late years
has been accompanied by a rising can
Ger mortality.
8. DR.. VOLTS researches indicate
that cancer is contagious, and that race
and heredity have much less to do with
the disease than environment and nab
its.
Finally, he concludes that the intern.
perate use of alcohol, and especially
of beer, is probably the chief cause Of
cancer. He does not pretend to say
whati ii is in the beer that conveys an
Ger injection. That Is a point for fur
ther investigation. OF course, it is all
SO possible to contend from DR.. Wolff's
facts that cancer is the product Of a
soil we'll shaded by forests and OF a
humid climate rather han of beer
drinking.
Out of the three observed facts
which occur together-apundant woods
and water, copious beer Linking and
prevalence Of %cancer--it is evidently
possible that the third may be the ef-
feet Of both or either of the first two.
Nevertheless, DR.. VOLTS researches
tend to reassure those who have feared
inheritance o2 cancer, for they give ev-
idence that it is the product of envir-
onment and habits rather than of race
that 1t Is a disease not inherited, but
acquired by contact

How tn. Fresh Air Movement Began

How the Fresh Air Movement Began in
the Pennsylvania Mountains.
From Jacob a. Riis' Children of the
People, In December Century: There
rises before me the wrath of a village
church In the far off mountains of Penn
s%ylvania. 1t is Sunday morning at mid
summer In the pulpit a young clergy
man is preaching from the text: '1nas-
much as We did it unto one Of these my
brethren, even the least. We did it unto
me-" The sun peeps through the VIM
dows. where climbing roses nod. In the
tall NAPLES a dove is cooling: tho drowsy
hum of the honey bee is on the air. But
he recks not of these. nor of the peaceful
day. His soul has seen a vision of hot
and stony streets. of squal.d homes, of
hard visaged, unlovely childhood, of man
kin made in Ellis image twisted by want
and ignorance into mons,rous deformity:
and the message he speaks goes straight
to the hearts of the plain farmers on the
benches; His brethren these, and STEPPED
In the slum! They gather round him aft
er the service, their hearts burning with
in them.
I see him speeding the next day toward
the great city, a messenger Of love and
pity and help. I see him return before
the weeks end, nine starved urchins
clinging to his hands and the skirts Of
his coat. the first Fresh Air party that
went out of New York, tw~enty-seven
years 6 next summer. I see the big
hearted farmers take them nto their
homes and hearts. 1 see the sun and the
summer wind put back color in the wan
cheek and life in the shrunken m
starved frame. I hear the message Of
one Of the little mes to her chums left
behind in the tenement: II can have two
ptoraaa 4f yjo ~ nof md rNh01yy -o1, ot1-
ing II I take three pieces of cake;" and I
know what 1t means to them. Laugh?
Yes! laugh and be glad. The world has
sorrow enough. Let in the sunshine
where you can, and know that 1t means
life to these. life now and a glimpse Of
the hereafter. I can hear 1t yet, the sigh
OF the tired mother under he trees on
win island, our Henry street children's
summer home: "If heaven is like this
I don't care how soon 1 CO."
For the sermon had wings; and WHITTIER
soever it went blessings sprang in its
track. Love and justice grew, men read
the brotherhood into the sunlight and the
elds and the woods, and the brotherhood
became real. I see today Willard Par
sons. the minister, nc longer so young,
sitting in his office in the Trfbune build
ing, still planning Fresh Air holidays for
the children of the hot. stony city. But
he seeks them himself no more. A thou
sand churches. charities, kindergartens,
settlements. a thousand preachers and
other doors Of the brotherhood, gather
them in. A thousand trains Of many
crowded cars carry them to the homes
that are waiting for them wherever men
and women with warm hearts live. The
message has Travelled to tho farthest
shores. and nowhere in the Christian
world is there a place where it has not
been heard and needed. Wherever 1t has,
there you have seen the heart Of man
laid bare; and the sight is good.
