SICKNESS AT THE FRONT.
Cholera and Typhoid in the Wake Of
the Advance.

Alarming reports come every few days."
said The Star military expert today,
about the existence OF disease in the
hostile armies. The first impulse is to dis
believe these stories and to regard them In
the same light as the rest of the sensa-
tfonai reports from the front. Among the
statements Is one that Kurakfs army Is
losing hundred men a day from cholera !:
that the cause of delay is disease, etc.
1T has been pointed out that campaign
such as that from Seoul to the Yalu might
have weakening effect on the army, due
to the exceptionally hard conditions of the
road.
Disease is the greatest curse of armies,
claiming more victims than the bullet and
often reducing them to helplessness and in
efficiency.
Our own experience in the civil war is
perhaps ancient history, but our recent
trials In the Spanish-American war are
within our own day. They awakened in us
sense of danger that we did not for a
me ment suspect and caused much discus
sion and occasional severe criticism of
army methods. During the war with Spain
we lost about $500 by disease out of a to-
tai enrolment of 275.000. which was less
than one per cent. AT camp George H.
Thomas, where the sickness seems to have
been greatest, the death list for a few
months reached one per cent, and the sick
report at one time included over twelve per
cent. of the command.
Remembering how greatly we took to
heart these figures of mortality and sick
ness, let us see what the Japanese ex-
perience was ten years ago. The japanese
lost 3.14S by disease out of a total of 60 $40.
or more than per cent The sick report
reached the astonishing total of % 1853, and
1t Is said that in one army there were To- 900
sick. Cholera claimed LOOP victims out of
1850 cases.
"Our present interest in these matters ID
10 wonder whether such experiences are
to be duplicated In the present war. Per-
haps the highest test of efficiency that can
be applied to modern army is that of
good sanitary methods, because they indi-
cate thoroughness In every detail. 1t must
be said that almost the only criticisms
have seen OF Japanese soldiers has been on
this point.
"It Is natural to suppose that the sanitary
conditions In one army will AFFECT the other
also. Occupying the same positions In turn.

three men, said to be the authority fol
the statement that Judge Parker
thought "a dollar a day enough fol

authority for the statement have made
the following affidavit:
Emery Freer, Sam E. Mott ano
LOUIS Booth being seVerally duly
sworn say, and each for himself says
that he has read the article published
vertser," of New York, of date OF
September 9th, 1904, wherein it is
stated that or Saturday morning in
the year 1902, at the store of Emery
Ffeer in EsopuS, while 5eVera resi-
dents Of that place were discussing The
rate of wages that should be paid for
unskilled labor, Judge Parker said:

any man provided that his work is

1--WE, and each of us, the said Emery
Freer, being a Democrat, and the said
Samuel e. Mott and Louis Booth, Re-
iublicans, depose and say as 20 the
statements in said article
First: That we are the identical
persons named in the article and in
whose presence Judge Parker was al
legged to have made said statement
Second: That no such converse
ton ever took place, either at the store
or Emery Freer. or any other place
and that Judge. Parker never made the
statements attributed to him at Freer's
store or any other place to the knowl-
edge of either of us.
Third: That the statement is false
in substance and in fact
Fourth: That to our knowledge
Judge Parker, since he has resided a
Esopus, has paid the unusual and go
ing rate of wages to all the men en-
p'oyed by him on his place.

for himself says, that he has frequent
~, during the absence of Judge Par
ker, paid the Judges employees; has
time and time again cashed checks
given to said employees for wages; an6
to his knowledge says that Judge Par
ker has always paid the going rate oil

Spirit of the Press
Ready to Spring.

Col. Henry Watterson in Louisville
Courier Journal.
Mr.. Glenn, the Democratic nominee
for Governor of North Carolina, in a
recent speech, described Thodore
Roosevelt as an assailant of the entire
white people of the South. One would
suppose that this went without say
ing. The President has certainly
made no bones about it, nor attempt
ed to conceal it. His conduct in Of
flee sufficiently proves it. Yet, when
Mr.. Glenn quoted him to the effect
that STRAINS of coarse brutality ran
through the Southern people," he put
himself to the pains of denying it
through Mr.. Rollins, State chairman
of the North Carolina Republicans.
Now comes Mr. Glenn with the deadly
specification. On page 161 of Mr..
Roosevelts Life of Benton" COPY
righted in 1886. Mr.. Roosevelt uses
the following language: slavery was
chiefly responsible for the streak OF
coarse and brutal barbarism which
ran through the Southern character"
Mr.. Roosevelt's denial to Chairman
Rollins was that the Glenn statement
was absolutely false" All of which
is perfectly characteristic of the shifty
politician caught in corner.

be added $50,000,000 the value of
