The Russian envOyS Thursday seem
ed ready to accede to Japan's demands
OH all but two points. These We're the
giving up of Sakhalin and reimburse
ment for the cost of the war. The
Mikado's ambassadors had allowed it
to be understood that they would insist
upon these things, but few Of those
watching events believed these ques-
tions would be allowed to block the
peace negotiations. BY yielding to the
contentious of Japan in every other
instance Russia acknowledges defeat
and gives to her enemy all that was
asked before the war.

more than anything else paved the
way for what Is known as the Man

whole plan of NJ Witte. while Minister

WARS NEW HORROR.
Awful Things in Combat that Science
Has Brought About.

Awful Things in Combat that Science
Has Brought About.
1t has been the notion Of humanita-
rians that the more horrible war IS al
lowed to become, the more quickly
there would come a time when all the
world could be persuaded to peace. 1t
has been the notion of optimists that
modern science would rid war of Its
most revolving features.
Just what is to be proved by the
war in Asia it is hard to tell, but it is
certain that science has added TO the
horrors of actual combat in the field
instead of decreasing them, and that
there are certainly enough to make
the civilized world rise against any
repetition of them, if they can only be
made well enough known and brought
home to those who still think that war
is anything but what Gen. Sherman
called it.
Richard Barry, an eye witness, has
recently published his Port Arthur;
4 Monster Heroism." In it he quotes
words Of Frederick yilliers, who
has seen and described no fewer than
seventeen wars, on the points involved.
Mr.. villiers says, speaking before Port
Arthur fell:
The truth about war cannot be told
1t is too horrible. The public will NOT
listen. A white bandage about the
forehead with strawberry marx ON
its center is the picture they want OF
the wounded They won't let you tell
the truth, and show bowels ripped out,
brains spilled, eyes gouged away, faces
blanched with horror.

truth about war was Verestchagin,

Scientific warfare! Let me tell you
the facts about science. Archibald
Forbes predicted twenty years ago that
the time would come when armies

LOUIS T. CHAPELLE. 1897 and has
been apostolic delegate to Cuba and
the Philippines.
If there were any who believed that
the yellow fever epidemic would be
checked as soon as the national health
authorities had assumed charge, they
have been greatly disappointed. The
disease has spread in New Orleans
and in Louisiana. 1t is beginning to
be feared that it may have to run its
course until overcome by its natural
enemy, frost The epidemic had so
strong a hold when its presence was
recognized that it could not be stamp
ed out at once. no matter what was
done. 1t ought not to have been al
lowed to gain hold in New Orleans
Probably it would not if the city had
had better quarantine service. III
that service were 10 be transferred to
the national government New Orleans
would be less exposed to future yellow
fever visitations.
Although the disease is spreading.
it is fair to assume that it would have
made more rapid progress if the ma
tional health officials had not taken
charge. They have worked syStemati-
cally and energetically and have been
more successful in securing results In
some ways than the local officials have
been. They are more thorough and
have inspired the public with greater
degree of confidence. The intense
alarm which WAS felt in Mississippi
and Texas is subsiding. because the
authorities of those States feel that
everything possible is being done. They
know that there is no suppression OF
facts and that the worst is being told.
1t will be Il serious matter for New
Orleans if the epidemic is not soon
und.c full control. The extensive fruit
trade of the city has been stopped and
bananas are becoming luxury. The
oyster canning industry will be inter
fered with. The business of the city
as grain exporting point will be af-
fected. Trade will in many ways
suffer more than in preceding yellow
fever epidemics.
This is an additional reason why the
local authorities and the business COM
munity are doing all in their power
to bring the epidemic under control.
Sanitary precautions are being en-
forced with rigor hitherto unknown.
and the ignorant people who generally
spurn such precautions are being
forced to accept them. The situation
is not without encouraging features.

general of the United States, now has
