COMPARATIVE STRENGTH.

Kuropatkin's talk about waiting for
Overwhelming numbers has been
met by the landing, near Newchwang,
of division of Japanese. Here are
from $4,000 to 10000 men added to the
armies of Oyama and when more are
wanted they will be forthcoming. It
should not be forgotten, when talking
about Overwhelming numbers that
Russia can only assemble the number
of men that single-track railroad can
supply with food and munitions of war
plus what grain can be got in an
overpopulated and proximate Manchu-
ria; while Japan can assemble an in
definite number of troops, close to the
home base, supplied by large fleet of
fransports-troops drawn from a larger
population than the North and South
together had during the American
Civil War.
1t is not to be supposed, while Japan
holds command of the sea. that she
will permit herself to be outnumbered
by the Russians She does not need
to. There are today in the Japanese
empire about 100000 people and one
in five is capable of bearing arms. But
If We say one in ten. the number is
400, 900 all OF whom, either in school
or in camp. have had a certain amount
of military drill and are brave and
obedient. We assume that Japan could
easily put 100000 men into Manchuria,
while experts say that Russia, de-
prived of supplies by sea, can only
maintain about 100000. Furthermore,
man to man. the Japanese has proved
himself the better soldier.
Numerically, therefore, the Japanese
must have the advantage until. if the
war proceeds that long, Russia double
tracks the Siberian railway. But long
before that time there may be media
ton with the tacit concurrence of both
sides. Wars cost too much money to be
permitted to drag on.

The writer of an excellent article in
Frank Leslie's about visit to Waikiki
Beach, quotes just one paragraph from
our Promotion literature, which hap
pens to be the same and sole one used
by Mackenzie in his letter to the Lon
don News. 1t is this: NO fogs, no
hurricanes, no malaria, no sand-storms,
no sunstrokes, no reptiles, no wild
beasts, no typhoons, no tidal waves, no
beggars, no poisons, no frosts.'' Those
crisp data might well be incorporated
in a magazine advertisement and thus
given a wider publicity than the ad-
vertising folders enjoy.

CHRONIC DIARRHOEA.-For sew
eral years during the summer months
I have been subject to looseness of the
bowels. which quickly ran into very
bad diarrhoea and this trouble was
frequently accompanied with severe
pain and cramps. L used TO call on
doctors for my trouble but it became
so regular a summer affliction that in
my search for relief, I became ac-
quainted with Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which
proved SO effective and so prompt that
came to rely exclusively upon it, and
what also happily surprised me was
that while it almost instantly relieved
the cramps and stopped the diarrhoea,
it never caused constipation. I always
take a bottle of it with me when
travelling. H. c. Hartman, Anamosa,

FORTIFICATIoNS COMING.

The news about the quest of fortifi-
cation sites here by the United States
government will be cheerfuIly received
by everyone who knows what the build
ing and manning of forts Will mean to
Honolulu.
For business reasons the agents of
the Government have kept as quiet as
possible, but it is now out that a fort
is to be built and garrisoned on old
Waikiki beach, taking in the residence
sites of the Schaefers, Hobrons. Pratts
and Afongs; and that Pearl Harbor will
be defended by a fort at Puuloa. 1t
may be presumed that the further rec
concentrations of the Engineering board
for defences at BARRIERS Point, Diamond
Head, Niu and the Pail will be at
tended to in turn.
This local development of the great
scheme of insular defence which is be-
ing carried out with the same preci-
sion which marked the course of the
Endicott defensive program on the
mainland, means several good things
for Honolulu. It shows that the naval
development of Pearl Harbor has been
settled upon; and in connection with
the purchase of a large army reserva-
ton, that the Government means to
keep a numerous garrison here. All
this foreshadows a considerable outlay
of money and a substantial increase of
the white population. We are going to .
get back a good part of the money we
are contributing to the support of the
Federal government and add some hun
dreds of men to our purchasing popu-
lation besides.
