or INTEREST TO sick PEOPLE

We have al the sympathy IN the world Tor

ious way. There is no humor in pain and
but hard earnest fact. 1t is impossi-

for relief. To get well or be relieved is their
one thought; any remedy that will bring this
about has their everlasting gratitude. We have

GERMAN LEWS N RUSSIA.

It is well known, and has long been a source
of regret and dissatisfaction that the Russian
government makes an exception to its general
treaty with the United States so as to discrim-
mate against Anne! lean citizens Of Jewish race
and faith Our State Department, therefore,
has TO remind ali who apply for passports that
Russian laws exclude from Russian territory all
people of the Jewish faith. except by special
permission. aud that despite years of effort.
this government has not been able to secure
from Russa q promise of uniform treatment OF
American travellers in Russia regardless OF
faith or nativity.
Unpleasant as that state Of affairs IS 1t does
not appear to violate the most favored nation
principle inasnuch as the same exceptions and
determinations are practised by Russia against
Jews from other countries. Especially bitter
complaints upon the subject are being made just
now in Germany. Attention was recently called
in the Reichstag to the circumstance that, al
though the Russo-German treaty provides for
uniform treatment of German travellers in Rus
STA, burdensome exceptions are made against
the Jews. From some important parts Of the
empire they are absolutely excluded. While
others can get passports good for year, the
Jews passport is limited to three months
While all other commercial travellers pay license
fees of $150 each, Jew must pay one OF $500
for every three months he spends in Russia
The German government is now trying hard
to get these grievances abated in new treaty
but with little prospect or hope of success
The problem is a complicated one hu+ g
would seem as though it must be solved. One
great nation cannot go on always making srch
determinations against the citizens of another
and a friendly nation. The Russian argument
Is that ell Jews must be treated alike in Russio

The argument in support OF this change OF

however, to show that the conditions there are

let's have laid them low. The whole case is here
summed up in a nutshell Moreover 1t is so
put that the merits of the question can be in
stantly perceived without the possession of
technical knowledge.

tary strategy demands the largest concentration
OF power and the greatest mobility. Captain
Mahan believes that these essentials are most
easily secured by navies in which big ships are
the prepOrderating element. Every type of
craft has its particular function. which
no other can exercise efficiently. The most
important factor in the composition of fleet,
however, is craft which can make long voy-
ages without stopping for fresh supplies of
fuel, can maintain moderately high speed.
and, when a foe is encountered. can stand up
against the stoutest fighters. TO perform all
of these duties well a vessel of large displace-
ment heavily armored and carrying powerful
guns, is requisite. That is precisely what the
battleShp is.

LONG PIERS.

Manhattan Island, after all. is to have the
long piers on the North River which are so
much needed for the ocean leyiathans now
crossing the Atlantic. and for the still bigger
ones which have been planned and contracted
for and which will ne launched ere the world
has grown much older.
The War Department at Washington. fearing
that the tremendous new wharves which our
Dock Department wanted to build for the ac-
commodatiOn of the giants of the deep might
come too near the channel in the North River.
and limit too much the breadth Of the most
crowded Eavigable waters in the lower Hud-
son, twice refused permission TO this city TO
construct piers of the length desired. But
the problem has been solved in another way.

to preserve its commercial supremacy in this
hemisphere, that New York shall be prepared to
furnish wharf space for the largest vessels pass

this matter, denied the appeal of Manhattan TO
thrust new piers far beyond the present water
line on the west side of the island, the munich
PAL government is compelled to resort to an
other plan. 1t will hollow out the land on the
waterfront to such distance that the projected
piers and the dock space from one end to the
other will be as long the plans submitted to
the War Department set forth. This will cost
Il great deal of money but the companies which
own the huge steamships are willing 10 pay
such high rentals for the wharfage which they
