1t will do to wait while before ac-
cepting as official and final the state
ment that only forty men have died of
disease in the whole Japanese army dur
ing the past year of active warfare. I'm
doubtedly the Japanese are as much
superior to us white people in sanitation
as they are supposed to be in about
everything else. But out of that host of
men record of only forty deaths from
disease in year, under the most favor
able conditions possible, would be we'll
nigh incredible. And war can hardly be
so much safer than peace.
