PHILIPPINES ARE PAcIFIED.
Military Expert Believes the Forces There
Should Be Reduced.

Washington, D. L. (SpeciaD.-With
view to a reduction in the expense OF
maintaining large military establish
ment in the Philippines, Lieutenant
General Chaffee, chief of staff, recent
ly cabled an inquiry to Major General
Wade, commando, the Philippines
Division, asking if conditions in the is
lands would not justify the reduction of
the present military force there from
four regiments of cavalry and nine of
infantry to three regiments of cavalry
and seven of infantry. General Chat
fee has received reply from General
Wade expressing the opinion that the
proposed reduction OF military strength
was not only practicable. but advis-
able. Therefore, it is more than pro-
able that arrangements soon will be
made to bring home the troops in ex-
cess of the number regarded by
Generals Chaffee and Wade as essen
tial to the situation.

American Machinery viii Decrease Cost of
Construction.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD.--R. M.
Arrange, a graduate of one of the
American technical schools, has been
appointed consulting engineer on the
staff of Chief Engineer Wallace in
the Panama Canal Construction. He
is particularly charged to assist in
building an aqueduct to supply the
city of Panama with water. 1t also
is proposed, in the interest of the
health of the employees, to lay pipe
lines to supply fresh and pure water
to the great force of laborers at the
Culebra Cut and other camps along
the line of work. Chief Engineer
Wallace has been making estimates
of the cost of the work he already has
done, with the result that he feels safe
in asserting that the cost of the canal
construction can be greatly reduced
below the French figures through the
employment of modern high grade
American machinery as substitute
for manual labor.

ALL CRAZY IN 700 YEARS.
Chicago Scientist Says People are Fast Grow.
ing Mad.

Chicago (SpeciaD.-Dr. James P.
Lynch has explained his statement
that all civilized men will be insane
in 700 years. He gives as the causes
of the increase in insanity drink, over
indulgence in drugs, the mad rush for
money, over-exertion, physically and
mentally; the high nervous tension OF
life and the present condition of wom-
an as wage-earner and mother.
In speaking of the part woman plays
in the increase of insanity, DR.. Lynch
says:
"The society woman and the work
ing woman both live strenuous life
of constant exhaustion. The gay life
of pleasure of the one woman and the
drudgery of the other are continuous
ly decreasing their nervous strength
and energy, and when brain-fagged
and physically exhausted they marry;
they become the mothers of physical
starvelings, who develop into men and
women unfit for the burdens of life.
These in their turn live in the man
tASi VI thSii PdiSitss WCdNSl dhN >NN4i
less able to stand the nervous tension
of work and dissipation. These peo-
pie are often predisposei to insanity
and nervous diseases, while often the
result is degeneration and imbecility.
when men make it possible for
women to return to their proper place
of home and motherhood, and they
can cease their pitiful struggle for eX-
istence, leaving the obtaining of live
ihood to the men of the family, then
the conditions that produce insanity
will diminish.
Among the foreign laborers, bad
whisky and beer cause more insanity
than does anything else. The reason
is that the drink is 'doctored' with CO.
colus indicus, or fish berry, that is
use by the Chinese in catching fish.
"In other words, drugs and whisky
combined are a good combination
upon which to build lunatic."
