DEsERr1oNs FROM THE ARMY.

The American soldier in the regular
army is the best paid and best taken
care Of military unit in the world The
American private receives per month
about as much in wages as the Euro
pean private receives per year, in adj
dition to which the American enjoys
perquisites and indulgences that are
unheard of anywhere else And, in ad-
dition, he stands a fine chance of en-
joying a liberal pension for life in the
event that he ever smells powder in
service. And he doesn't have to smell
a great deal OF powder either. The
politicians are very careful to coddle
the soldier vote.
With the good pay and the excellent
attention paid to the comfort of the
men in the ranks, the fact remains
that there are many assertions in the
run OF year. It is true that the
number Of assertions is not so large,
relatively. as II was some years ago;
still It is large enough to constitute
what officers consider to be a scandal

he were transferred to the ranks of
the American army. Why do so many
Americans get Disguised with the
service before the expiration OF the
time OF their enlistment? The statistics
show that the majority OF assertions
are OF men in their nrst year.

NO 'eYnLLow PERIL" TO RELIGION

Efforts have been made in some
quarters to create the impression that
the war in the Far East involves, in
considerable measure, the question of
the supremacy of Christianity or of
"heathenism'- Shintoism or
some one or more of the several 'isms''
of the Orient. Indeed, the term "yel-
low peril was coined about the time
the Emperor William of Germany
painted his famous picture showing
Buddha on cloud threatening Europe
with a flaming sword. And ever since,
the idea Of Japanese success against
Russia has been more or less intimate
ly connected with a mental vision of
Buddhism triumphing over Christian
ity.
That nothing Of the sort is involved
| in the war is made very plain in an
article by Bishop Galloway of the
Methodist Church. South. written in
Japan some weeks ago and published
| by us recently. Bishop Galloway is
| an ardent churchman. He is in Japan
on church business. devoting himself
to the furthering of the interests OF the
Christian religion in the Mikados en-
pire. II It were true that the inter-
ests Of Christianity were threatened by
Japanese success. he would be among
the first TO detect the fact and utter
note OF warning. That he had ali
eye to the effect of the outcome Of
the war on the religious status is evil

and interviewed the Japanese Prime
Minister, Count Katsura, on this very
subject. And what the Prime Minister
told the Bishop seems to have been
eminently satisfactory to the latter.
The Prime Minister said, among other
things: Japan stands for religious
freedom. The abandonment of that
principle, either now or in future, would
be 70 violate the constitution, and
would create disaffection throughout
Japan. What then becomes of the ar
gument that Russia stands for Chris
