faith could ward off smallpox and that
she was immune. she knows better
now She is being treated for smallpox
by physicians in the Chicago isolation
hospital along With her 9-year-old son.
Flba. Her sister-in-law says that Mrs.
Waterbury's belief, so far as it applies
to smallpox, has been strained, u not
broken.
Mrs. Waterbury has had strong opfn-
ions on the subject of healing by faith
for some time. n held that not only
simple disorders of the system might
be dissipated by the power of mind. but
nat contagious diseases could gain no
hold on a person who had the faith to
withstand them. She went so far as to,
disregard such precautions as the vac
cination OF herself and her children.
Mrs. Waterbury called on a relative
suffering from q mysterious illness,
which she tried to dispel with faith.
The illness was smallpox. Aroused to
furnish proof of her faith. she exposed
herself again BY this time the health
department was on her trail. When she
was Guaranteed the disease broke out.

RUSSIAN SAILORS KILL FIVE.
A Drunken BrawI by Baltic Fleet Men
on the Island of Crete.

Canea, Island of Crete. Nov. "a
There were ~disgraceful scenes here Fri
day when several groups of officers and
men of the vessels belonging to the Bal
tic fleet in this port left various drink
ing houses and paraded the streets.
The Russians were badly intoxicated.
Brandishing their swords and other
weapons, they made a wild rush on
peaceful citizens. AT least i've of these
were murdered by the drunken Rus
SLAMS. many others were wounded and
many beaten. The brawls continued
until late in the night.
Under cover of darkness the drunk
ards grew wilder still and their shouts
and loud talk scared most of the in
habitants into their houses. 1t is re-
ported that about forty of the Russian
sailors have deserted. The discipline
on board the Russian ships is unpar-
alleled in its laXity. Many of the men
are intoxicated much of the time and
cannot be CONTROLLED by their officers.
The officers are often intoxicated while
on duty.

Wind was blowing from the south, and the

the building was aflame from top to the

carried over the United States govern

The reconnaissance fights have as
sumed a more violent character during
the past four days. Particularly hot
was the fighting on Poultiloff Lone
Tree HID. The japanese were repulsed
with a loss OF over 100 killed. All signs
indicate that great events are imnli-
nent. The road to Sinmintin, owing to
the excellent patrol service. is quite
safe from Chinese bandits. thus guar
anteeing unhindered communication
with Tientsin and establishing a second
line of intercourse with the outside
world. The health of the troops is ex-
cellent. The Russians admire the clean
lines, perfect order and equipment of
the Japanese. One does not see any
race hatred. 1t is a fact that the Japa-
nese return through French intermedia-
ton all valuables found on dead Rus
slams. This has made a deep impress
sion here and is reciprocated.
