.AN EYE-OP ENER.

Prohibitionists and temperance folks too will be surprised, puzzled and pain- ed by some facts given out by Major Charles P. Woodruff, an army surgeon who has been studying the drink ques- tion in the Philippines. They seem to oontrovert, all the accepted views on the subject of the use of alcohol in hot climates. Even those who admit that the regular consumption of a modicum of alcohol in the temperate or cold cli- mates is not necessarily wholly an evil and may even be of certain advantage have usually agreed, both because of scientific principles and because of the teaching of observation, that alcohol is the white mans worst bane in the; tropics, and fully half of the ills of our soldiers in the Philippines have been laid to drink. But Major Woodruff's figures show that Of the excessive drinkers in the Philippine regiments sixty-eight per cent. have retained their health unimpaired; of the moderate drinkers sixty-six per cent: and of the total apstainers only forty-six per cent. Of the hard drinkers only one and 8 half per cent. died, of the moderate drinkers four per cent. and of the tee totalers nine per cent.
 We'll, what next? It has lately been discovered that cigarettes are pretty good things, that opium isn't bad for the Chinese, and now we are told that much rum is apparently good for white folks in the Philippines, Is wood alco- hol going to be an approved beverage by and by2 ,~.ss vi

GAN SHE BECOME roo NEwg

bH@ hAA IT. ID EIO&E E AoO ~ T. "
 The new woman is so continually and continuously growing in newness that perhaps the question will soon confront her and the world, Can she become too new? The fact that German papers are seriously discussing the assertion that young women ought to be called on to serve the State in the military service is fact which may well give the new woman a moment or two of thoushtfulness. But it need not give her pause. She Is claiming the right to be married and divorced as often as suits her, the right to compete with men in such occupations as she takes notion to, the right to wear mems clothes and the right to vote. Why should she shrink from taking part in preparation for war, or war itself? Why should she not openly and vociferously claim the right to do it? It is we'll known that physically the new woman is able-boded-some who should know say much more So than her contempo- rary man. It is we'll known that she is as bold as a ioness and a lion put together. She rides, hunts and shoots when 1t suits her. Why should she not ride or walk and hunt and shoot in war? It can also be said for her en- couragement, if she needs any, that even in less enlightened times than these woman's right to fight was rec ognized. There were the Amazons, and those who saw the Amazons in the Black Crook can imagine how terrible the real Amazons were in battle. There have been other female warriors, recog- nized or unrecognized. In our Civil War several if not many women took part.N If the Japanese have not slain her there is a Russian female warrior who is now battling for her country and giving the Japanese fitsky. So there is nothing in the idea that wo- men can and should fight that need cause world to feel and look mortified. Let them try it. If they find they don't like 1t they can change their minds and ask the military boss to let them take off their soldier clothes and go home.

The great, lesson seems to be that the cannon of the future must throw as large a she'll as practicable under service conditions; must have rapidity of fire; it's range must be ten thousand yards or more; it must be distributed over a wide front, and must be concealed as much as possible. Indi- rect fire needs to be practiced, since it often gives valuable results when direct fire is ineffective.

ARTILLERY YORK IN THE wA R.

Military men are learning something from the war between Japan and Rus sia. The talk is that artillery has thus far been the mainstay. Cavalry so far has not had a show; the infantryman and gunner have decided the battles. The Russian field gun is found to be the most powerful weapon, throwing projectile weighing sixteen pounds, against eleven and one-quarter pounds for the Japanese cannon, and throwing it nearly two thousand yards farther. At the same time it fires faster. On the other hand, the Jap gun is lighter and more mobile, and, while it looks flimsy, it wears well. Notwithstanding it's inferiority, it has nearly always gained the advantage over the Russian gun. This result is attributed partly to the fact that the Jap guns are more, numerous and partly to the fact that they are fired with greater skill. The man behind the gun makes difference. The Jap is better at eoncealing his piece and at ranging" At times an inferior number of Russian guns have silenced the Jap gunners, but not often. The shinose powder of the Japanese shells produces a great moral effect by the violence of it's explosion, but the shells are too small to get the full value of the powder Both sides use range finders, but the Russians do not verify their findings adequately. The corre- spondent criticises the Japs for using shells too much. On the other hand, he commends their practice of reserving their fire as long as possible and using at first but few guns from given site, with the object of drawing the fire of the Russians, locating their batteries and then opening upon them with many guns concealed in a different part of
