LONDON. April S.-Of the various
commentaries on the military position
in Korea printed here this morning.
the most Illuminating Is that Of Spencer
Wilkinson. who writes in the Morning
Post as follows;
The japanese now appear to hold the
left hank Of the Halu frem its mouth
but there IS no means Of knowing the
extent of their front. Their left flank
IS AT YongampO. on the estuary and AS
they hold Uusan, their right flank may
be at PyokdOng. sixty miles up stream,
or even farther away from the left.

Plan Of Campaign.
''The Russian commander can hardly
intend TO make a firm stand on the
YaIu or in front OF the dehle and
hills. but the Japanese commander
could wish for nothing better He
would in that case probably cross the
Ealu at some distance above Witu,
with his right wing as strong as pos
sible. The advance of the right wing
assuming ii TO be strong enough, would
compel the Russians TO retreat and
leave open a passage for the left wing
VERY much depends on the strength
Of the japanese force on the Yalu and
its proportion TO the Russian forces
available in southern Manchuria for
if the japanese general has superior
numbers he may aim at the railway
north Of MukdAn. !"

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

All signs point to a tremendous
struggle in the near future in congress
on two questions in which the people
of Iowa are vitality interested. These
are, the question of governmental sup

fixing the rates of both passenger and
freight traffic of all common carriers,
and the other of a revision of tariff

THE DEADLY PNEUMONIA.

1t is now admitted by physicians
generally that pneumonia is the dead
lest disease in the United States. II
is so. sudden One need not belong to
the healing profession to give the
cause. It's simply the winter temper
allure of our houses, offices, places Of
business, hotels, depots, cars. public
halls and theaters. People now demand
eters shall register 80 degrees. Wher
less than this protests come not only
at home, but in all public places. The
result is that our systems are weaken
ed, and when there comes any unusua
exposure of cold, rain, or snow. an at
tack OF pneumonia follows, with many
fatal cases.
Proof of this theory is that the dis
ease is comparatively unknown
among certain classes of our people
Transfers, laboring men, engaged ir
out door work, blacksmiths and from
tier farmers, daily exposed to the
weather, lumber men, fishermen, sail
ors-in fact any and all Of the classes
OF men who work out of doors are
comparatively immune. But the indoor
worker, where artificial heat of 80 de-
grees is common, is the easy victim.
Reports of commissions and inves-
tigating experts indicate that pneu-
monia is on the increase in our large
cities, due, they claim, to the frequency
of steam heated flats, and their over
heated apartments. Again the fatality
Of the disease is aggravated by the
use of intoxicants. Pneumonia, being
an Inflammation of the lungs, makes
short work of a drinker, when it at
tacks him. However. it is not confined
to city jewellers, for Marshalltown
physician says that there is much of IT
in the country and small towns. He
says that he has entered many a house
heated to 80 degrees and often to sc
degrees, He also asserts that women
do not dress their lower limbs warm
enough. Cotton stockings and thin
soled shoes are not suitable for winter
protection. Better not have such
pretty ankles on the street if they must
SO soon be sticking out from under a
shroud, was his opinion.
The remedy is to keep the tempera
ture of our houses and public places
down to 10 degrees, and thus compel
our families and inside working pub
lie to dress accordingly. At the pres
ent time the average woman in Iowa
wears clothes, during the winter, suit
able for out door life in June, and to
get rid of a Chilly feeling the air
in our living rooms is heated to pro-
duce July temperature. In our car
and depots, hotels and theaters, men
and women complain If the heat is less
than 80 degrees, but If the public was
properly clothed in WOOL such heat
would be unbearable. And as a matter
Of practical economy warm clothes are
cheaper to heat the human body than
anthracite at $40 per ton. People
should dress warmer. heat less and
cut out the pneumonia.

The RISK RlRpsALL TAXES.

Congressman BtrdSall has served two
years at Washington and has been
elected for second term. No longer
can he be called cub which gives
him the right to speak and he has spo-
ken in terms that will make him a
much bigger man in the eyes Of the
public than ever before.
1t took nerve to say boldly what Con-
gresham Birdsall has said on the rail-
road rate question. He is not afraid to
acknowledge that the traffic managers
of Ave railroad systems now have 1T in
their power to name the transportation
thing that is transported, everything
we eat, wear, or use. Admitting this
the congressman tritely remarks that
he would rather the five men possess
ed of this power should be five men
not at all interested in the railroads.
Having been lawyer and a judge
that our government has no authority
to control private property. For sew
enty years." says Judge Birdsall, cit
has been an established principle in the
jurisprudence of this country, that
railways were and are, public servants
In the use Of the utilities at their COM
mand." If it were not for this prin-
ciple and the right of a railroad to
seize property wherever it wishes to
lay Its tracks railroads would never
have been possible to the extent that
I'VE now have them. In view of their
public nature they are in duty bound
to give every man the same rights and
same rates as every other man which
they do not now do.
However, Congressman Birdsall has
done a nervy and somewhat risky thing
In being so bold in his views. This
railway rate question promises more
political fatalities than ever came from
any other one proposition. The people
are watching congress. II their con-
gresham or senator lines up with the
railroads on this issue the people will
wise up and beat him by voting for
democrat at the polls and If he comes
fearlessly forward for the public In
terest, as Birdsall has done, the rail-
roads will spend untold sums and
passes to beat him out of his next nom
nation. Uneasy lies the head that
wears the crown" or congressional bon
net will be the refrain dinging in con-
gressmen's ears this winter. No Won
