Joseph APPEL. a Russian Jew, Says All
Russians in Spokane Want Japan
to Win---Is Young narkesan De-
Serter?

No loyalty, no love of the car. no

breasts of the Russian colony in Spo-
kane. Jew and Greek Catholic alike
deplore the misery of their country
men, who are dragged into a foreign
war through misrepresentation and a
play upon their ignorant religious en-
thusiasm. They hope for the defeat
of their own armies, and rejoice with
a sad satisfaction when the plucky
Japs are reported victorious. While
they hate the government of the
car, they love their native land and
long for a day when brothers and
sisters, fathers and mothers. strug-
Cling at home. may have over them
a ruling power which will lift them
out of their degradation and misery.
Martin Markesan, the young Russian
soldier who formerly was a resident
of Spokane and whom The Press an
nounced intends joining the japanese
forces, is probably a deserter from
the Russian army. but Russians in
Spokane rejoice at what they call his
noble purpose and only wish others
could do the same. Such is the story
told by Joseph APPEL, a Russian Jew,
a merchant of Spokane.

TENDENCY or THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world Is being given
to the subject. 1t Is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend
with, can be prevented by the use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from cold or
from an attack Of influenza grip.
and 1t has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands OF cases In which this rem
edy has been used during the great
| prevalence of colds and grip in recent
| years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until II is sud-
denly discovered that there is fever
| and difficulty In breathing and pains
IN the chest, then IL is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
cold Is contracted. II always cures.

SPAIN SINCE THE WAR.
Remarkable Progress Toward Com
.plete ReiuvenatiOn.

On the great stage of international
politics it is many generations since
Spain has played a leading part. In
fact, she may now be said to constitute
a side show No other country in mod
ern times has fallen from having been
the leading power Of the world to COM
paratiVe insignihcance. Russia, Eng
land, Germany, and Italy have, since
the period of SPANS greatest influence,
all grown in territory, wealth, and
own, and Austria has gone back some
what. OF the smaller powers Holland,
Switzerland, and Portugal remain about
stationary.
Charles " ruled most of the contin-
ent Of Europe, besides vast possessions
in the New World, where even now
Spanish names and Spanish laws and
customs are more prevalent than those
of any nation, except the English. Geo
graphically they are. perhaps, more
widespread than the English. The
Spanish system of colonization was
very different from the English They
have always held themselves aloOf from
subject races. The Spanish, on the
contrary, either exterminated them OF
intermarried with them, and, above all,
proselyted them. 1t is hard now to re-
alize the fierce religious bigotry of
those times. when hundreds of thou
sands became victims of the Inquisition
which was principally n Spanish insti-
tuition, and which spared neither civ
ilized nor savage By many the pres
ent position Of Spain is thought to be
chiefly due to the survival of the same
religious bigotry. There has been no
encouragement for independent study
and thought. both the schools and very
largely political parties having been
dominated by ecclesiastics. BY others
the decadence of Spain is attributed to
the degeneracy of the Latin races.
But this there is surely reasos4 to doubt.
France, while slowly decreasing in pop
ulatiOn, is still vigorous and aggressive,
and Italy shows signs of new life and
progress. Doubtless the ruling class in
Spain is effete and ineffective and the
government corrupt, but one may see IN
going through the rural parts of the
country plenty of fine, well-set up. hardy
