MR.. CoRTELYoU PRAISES OBEDIENCE.
Speaks at Nazareth Hall Academy, Where
He Was Graduated

Nazareth, Penn. May S.-The sesquicentennial
celebration OF the cornerstone laying of the
Nazareth Hall Military Academy to-day was made
notable by the presence OF Postmaster General
Cortelyou an alumnus OF the institution George
B. Cortelyou. jr., is senior at the academy. The
Postmaster General spoke at to-day's exercises his
remarks being reminiscent OF the days he spent at
the hall He said in part:
We Celebrate to-day long continued and notably
benefceut service in the great work of education.
The cornerstone of Nazareth Hall was laid on May
g. 1865 For l2l OF the $50 years that have elapsed
since that date this school has been active in the
educational field.
Nazareth Hall has been character builder not
a mere trainer OF the mind. and l glad that II
has put so much stress what l may call for
want of better expression. training for obedience.
II my boy should leave school with his head full
of history and grammar and the classics and mod
eSn languages and all the other studies OF the
rculum, and yet should not have IL In his heart
yield willing obedience to law-the law Of the
school, the law OF the community in which he lives
the law OF the State and of the nation-I should
feel that his time had been thrown away.
We need in all schools insstence upon Obed-
fence proper authority; for these OF to-day
the citizens OF tomorrow. and everywhere
throughout the length and breadth of the land
must have more prompt and willing obedience TO
law.
Other spakers were President Brumm and Con-
gresham Schneebeli. MIR. and Mrs. Cortelyon left
here this afternoon for Washington.

THREE POWERS FOR PEACE

The remarks of the American Ambassador to
France upon his presentation to the President
OF that republic appear to have been received
with gratifying favor by the best expOnents
of French public opinion. Especially is this
true of his references to the close friendship
which exists between France ana Great Britain
on the one hand and France and America on
the other. The Temps" of Paris speaks of
his mention of third power as somewhat I'M
usual in diplomatic speeches OF It's prcpriety
there is, of course. no question. and, indeed.
considering the presence of King Edward in
Paris at that moment. it may be regarded as in
Stinct with grace as well as with truth.
The significance of the utterance may or may
not be quite what the Temps thinks it, We
do not know just what that journals interpre-
tation of it is. Mr.. Mccormick doubtless
not limiting at any formal triple alliance"
in the common European meaning of that term.
The United States is not making such alliances.
His reference was to the ndsputable and
happy fact that the three nations in question
all on terms of intimate friendship among
themselves. a friendship which is stronger than
many written treaties have been No one OF
the three is in the least jealous OF the friend
ship between the other two, but each one regards
it as highly desirable that the others shall be
as friendly with each other as each of them
is with it.
The marked significance Of this state OF ar
fairs lies in the great influence which it ex-
erts for peace among all nations and for the
limiting Of the area Of any war which may oc-
cur. For a single great power to stand reso-
luteIy for peace is n great thing. For three
of the chief powers Of the world to stand to-
gether for peace is almost to forbid war. 1t Is
not easy to imagine serious war In Europe
without the participation of England or France.
1t is almost impossible TO conceive one started
and waged against their united will Nor IS 1t
easy to imagine the beginning of any great
world war to which America, Great Britain
and France were resOlutey opposed What Mr..
Mccormick felicitously made clear 10 the world
was that these three powers are friends, and
that they are for peace That is something
which the French press may well applaud, as
it is doing and which every well disposed
power In the world may equally regard With
sincere qualification and confidence.

a tborougb campaign the voters showed them

This decisive victory testifes to the public
spirit which has developed in Baltimore under
the stimulus Of last years loss and shock EX-
cept for the fire the city would probably have
been satisfied with old conditions and old
habits of lfe and would have put off any gen
eral scheme of local improvements for another
generation. To-day ii is eager to take advan-
tage of any opportunity to moderniZe the city
and enhance its comfort and attractivcness
The municipality voted $3350000 from the
treasury for first aid after the fire. Subsequent
ly il voted $6,00N,000 for improvements along
the waterfront Now the people have author
lied the expenditure of $13.o0OOO0 on further
general improvements. The Baltimore Sun"
justly says that Tuesdays vote was "A striking
evidence OF the courage, confidence and enter
prise of the people of Baltimore and of their
faith i'll the future of the city" In some i'm
portant respects the disaster of year ago has
proved a blessing 1t has certainly been n spur
to local enterprise, to public spirit and to public
progress

JAPAN MAKING DYNA nos.

In the last issue Of The Electrical Review
William Dinwiddie describes one of two fac-
tories which have been established IN Japan
within ten years for the production OF dyhalhoS
and allied machinery. one Of them IS IN TOXIC
where the electric road is operated by generators
of domestic manufacture. Up TO the present
time no machine having greater capacity than
3T3 horsepower has been made, but there IS no
telling when that limit will be exceeded. More
over, for lighting and trolley lines any reason
able demand can be met simply by increasing
the number of dynamos in service
japan is obliged TO import small part or the
material used in this business. The requisite
steel plates come from England, but the copper
needed is obtained at home. SO is the pig iron
What is more the technical experts are all ma
tives though some of them were educated
abroad The shop equipment and methods are
a little primitive; yet in spite of these embar-
easements it is asserted that the Toxic factory
can undersell those of America Its prices
80 per cent below the cost of imported machin-
cry laid down in Yokohama. The total output
continues small but it is steadily growing and
the average amount of repairs has steadily di-
minshed aggreSatng i'll 1904 only > per cent
of the product. Quality and endurance are of
greater Importance, of course. than a lower first
cost y combination of them all, however,
would put any manufacturer in an exceptionally
advantageous pOSltlOn. commenting eultOrlally
on Mr. Dinwiddies article The Electrical Re
view" expresses the opinion that before long
Japan will be competing with the United States
and Europe for the trade Of the East, and adds:
1T is difficult TO see how we can prevent her
getting the lions share"
The majority of Americans cherish such hearty
admiration for the Japanese that they might not
experience great unhappiness at being beaten
by those rivals in industry Still there is one
possibility that may operate in favor of the
Occident. If the most progressive of the ASiatic
races should Confine itself to the reproduction of

RADIUM AND CANCER.

Encouraging as is the apparent outcome Of
the use Of radium in the treatment of a few re-
cent cases of cancer. there is danger of over
estimating its significance. Several facts need

that wonderful element is applied, there is rea-
son to think that any benefit derived from il is
wrought by the gamma rays. which seem TO be
identical in character with the y rays of RGut
