We have no adequate protection

form large part Of the capital needed
to put in public water. The supply
for the village should come from the

ST JOHNS CHURCH.
THE TWENTY-FIVE ANNIVERSARY OF
THE ORGANIZATION OF THE PARISH.
A SKETCH-BY THE RECTOR, THE
REVEREND OTIS OLNEY WRIGHT.

St Johns church, Sandy Hook, is the
offspring of Trinity, NewtOwn. In the
springtime of 1864 Mrs Susan Nichols
Glover, the wife of William B. Glover,
seeing the need Of more personal, local
Sunday school work in the village,
gathered the children together in her
home and taught them. The interest
increased and after a while the school
was removed to the upper-room Of the
old store building which later became
Masonic hall, recently destroyed by
fire, where services were also held from
time to time, until the present church
editice was erected.
The first regular mission work in
this part of the town was conducted
by the Rev William N. Ackley, assis-
tant minister of Trinity parish, and
was continued by Rev Francis W. Bar
nett, and other assistants of the moth
er church.
The first organization of this move
ment in Sandy Hook was known as the
"DioceSan Mission Association" of st
Johns church in the parish of Trinity
church, Newtown, under date of De.
cember 2, 1879 But this organization
was soon discontinued on account OF
the withdrawal of the canonical con.
sent of the rector of Trinity parish,
Rev T. w. Haskins. The result was
that St Johns parish Was organized
June l, 1880: the formal consent of the
Bishop, John Williams, and of the
Standing Committee having been giver
May 25. 1890.
The original mem bers were: MinOt1
Augur, James H Warner, Smith p
Glover, Frederick Chambers, Ralph
N. Belts, Jr, William E. Ackley, Isaac
Percy Blackman, John L. Sanford

mon Taylor, f. W. Wilson, NJ. b. Ter
rill, Chester Hard, Charles f. Minor
Alenzo Taylor, William A. Bradley.
St Johns Guild was also organizes
June l, 1880, at the home of S.
Glover, and has always been an impor
tant factor in the support and pro
gress Of the church. This Guild il
fact had it's beginning in the "SewinI
Society of the Ladies of st John
church," organized September 30, 1876
under the administra tion of Re
Thomas Mallaby, the assistant of ID
N. f. Marble Of Trinity church. Th
members Of the Guild as recorded TO
the year 1880 were as follows: Mr.
Minott Augur, Mrs S. Glover, Mr.
John Judson, Mrs E. w. Wilson, Mr.

MAKE ONE EQUAL TO FOUR
American Army Officers Way Of Ac-
counting for Victories Of
the japanese.

How Japan made one Of her soldiers
equal 10 four Russians is told by Mai
Louis l.. Seaman. a United States army
surgeon. The army and public are In
iebted 10 Mai Seaman. says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, for the first detailed
information about the hitherto I'm
equaled efficiency OF the medical de
partments OF the japanese army and
navy, and in the article referred TO he
adds some important supplementary
information.
Ten years ago Japan began 10 pre-.
pare for wal with Russia. IL was estt
mated that Russia would have sons
100000 available soldiers, against
5000 900 for Japan. How to equalizs
these forces in fighting efficiency was
the problem which confronted the Jap
anese general stan. and in the solu
ton Of ii the medical officers were a
most potent factor. IL was known that
in war. generally speaking. four men
die from disease to one who succumbs
to wounds. Japan proposed TO elimin.
ate disease. and Mai. Seaman tells how
they set about II and how admirably
they succeeded. His conclusion may
be summed up in the statement that
for the first six months OF the war the
japanese loss from disease was only a
fraction of one per cent. Up 10 August
qS62. cases had been received at the
Hiroshima reserve hospital from the
field. OF whom $685. were wounded.
or the total number up TO that date
only "a had died. quite as surprising
as the amazingly low death rate is the
fact that only about one-third OF the
total cases we're men suffering from
disease.
Japanese medical officers went In ad
vance of the troops. examined the water
supply and camping grounds and re-
moved conditions that threatened the
health Of the troops. The work Of the
surgeons was thus confined mainly to
the permanent hospitals. Owing to the
'merciful' character OF the modern
rifle most Of the wounds were com
paratively slight and most of the wound
ga were sOon in the ranks. First aid
treatment was sufficient TO allow most
Of the wounded either 10 return to the
ranks or. at all events. TO reach a base
hospital without calling on ~able-bodied
comrades for assistance. A veritable
revolution was wrought in the military
branch Of the healing art.
The Japanese while protecting them
selves succeeded in turning against their
foes all the microbes and kindred NOR
bifc agencies that have played such
havoc with armies.
