Effect Of War on Physique.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
War Is not merely an evil while 1t endures
Its after effects are often sadder than its
immediate losses. Usually for the con-
quering nation there is a season of material
prosperity. 1t has gained the trust or ad-
mirat1on of the world; its markets widen
its Industries are stimulated, to renair
losses; 1t has indemnities and spoils tn
spend and utilize: the returned soldiery go
pack into the shops and fields, and the
restoration of peace brings capital from it's
lurking places for investment The beaten
nation. on the contrary, undergoes a period
OF depression greater than it endures while
the war is under prosecution. The fact of
its being beaten indicates that its treasury
is depleted, thousands of it's men are living
In allen graves. hobbling about their
homes, manned and disfigured; its indus
tries have failed; it has created distrust
ABROAD; In It's social and moral tone there
is sadness, bitterness, half-heartedness; it
becomes prey 10 oisanected factions. eager
to place upon its officers the onus of de-
feat and strengthen itself against the like
In future by radical changes in its govern
ment.
But both alike suffer the saddest resp,t +,
the lowering of the physical standard of
the population. Instead of sending the
weak. the crippled. the sickly. the deformed
to be slain In war. each nation sends its
best. No man is accepted for military sery-
ice unless he is bodily and mentally sound:
there Is even preference for moral men
although Mexico has convict regiments
but this preference is based merely on the
suppostion that men who lead good lives
are more efficient than those who have
Slapped their vitality by excuses. The SOL
der must have attained certain height
and weight. he must see and hear truly his
muscles and organs must be strong. Such
is the man who is sent to the front, to be
killed, possibly. be disabled by wounds
and illness, and to return exhausted with
work and hardshfps.

csc for their emperor Is exemplif1ed in
notable article contributed by Marquis Ito
to Leslies Monthly Magazine for October.
Whatever causes, he says. may have help
ed Japan in her progress, and however
much we may have been instrumental in
the achievements Of the past years, they
become insignificant when compared to
what the country owes to his majesty the
emperor. The imperial will has ever been
the guiding star of the nation. Whatever
may have been the work done by those
who. like myself. tried to assist him in his
enlightened government. 1t could not have
achieved such wonderful results had it not
been for the great. progressive and wise
influence of his majesty the emperor ever

the emperor Japan has learned that lesson
which has made her what she is at present

"The Second Fiddle. /"

In his new play, entitled THE Second
Fiddle" which will be seen at the National
Monday October 10. Louis Mann is said to
have been supplied with a vehicle particu-
larry adapted to his versatility. Mr. Mann
is now under the management of Mr..
Chas B. Dillingham; and will appear in
strong character role. THE Second Fid-
die is a comedy drama without music.
The story deals with theatrical life in
Paris and with the fluctuating fortunes of
q poor and obscure musical composer and
an ambitious and ultimately successful OPP
cratic singer. Mr. Mann is seen in the role
of the musician, and the part combines OPP
portunities for both comedy and pathos. A
scene in the second act shows the green
room and the dressing room of the prima
donna at the opera, Paris, during the pro-
duction of an opera, and another scene
gives an insight into life in the Bohemian
quarter of the city.
