treatment have been received from en- listed men, and there has been nothing to indicate dissatisfaction among them. For this reason the surprising figures in the desertion columns are all the more puzzling.
 Some little uneasiness is also felt because of the scarcity of eligible re- cruits. Few. it any of the commands. are recruiting up to their maximum strength. The number of rejections has also fallen below the usual percentage, due to the fact that good men are not to be had and that it becomes neces- sary to enlist men who in ordinary times would be passed by. One of the bad features of this practice is that many of the recruits are being discharged for disabilities that existed prior to their enlistment, but which were not deemed serious enough to bar them from ser- vice. The natural result is that these men have claims for pensions which will be allowed without question.

4 sERMAN PLAN.

One of the studious German officers has figured out what he could do to win in case Germany should get into war with the United States. The ground is
 taken that Germany has little cause to fear an invasion from force sent from this side of the Atlantic, while we, with our long coast line, are very open to attack. It is assumed, also, that the German Navy would soon have control of the sea, and, admitting that this alone would not probably bring about a peace, the next step in the programme would be the landing of an army on our shores, not for the purpose of
 marching into the interior, but to seize the important coast cities, and by de- stroying or taking possession of public property and exacting heavy ransoms make this nation glad to come to terms. A fleet of transports with troops and their supplies guarded by naval vessels could, it is maintained, threaten so many different points along our coast that no army could be concentrated at the place chosen for making landing in time to oppose it effectively.
 The plan is made to appear very feasible. Germany has an enormous army, well organized and thoroughly equipped in every particular, also a large mercantile marine which could furnish all the shipping necessary foi. the transportation of great force
 with all it's stores across the ocean. The defenees of our own coasts are far
 from being ideal, and the probability is that Germany, with the control of the sea in her hands, could infiict much
 damage along our shores. But by the time Germany gets ready to attack us we may be more ready for defense.

NOT ABSOLUTELY PURE.

If there is one thing that has been considered as pure as baking powder perhaps it is Rhine wine. The evidence in court of the employees of one Dr. Schlamp. the proprietor of extensive vineyards in Nierstein, the very home of ths highest brands, throws an inter esting light on the subject. He used to turn 800 gallons of fair, ordinary Rhine wine into 1000 gallons of high class Niersteiner in this way: First he |added 800 gallons of Rhine water to the wine; then he mixed in scientifically ammonia, tannic acid, isinglass, prunes, raisins, oil of yitriol, gelatines and va rious drugs, after which ne added some-
 thing out of a phial which he always carried in his pocket, the composition of which he carefully kept a secret. The doctor did not deny the testimony of his employees, but said that all pro- ducers of high class Rhine wine pur- sued similar methods, and he made an appeal to the German public prosecutor to drop the case, on the ground that
 pursuing it and giving it publicity would tend to the injury of the busi- ness.
 At the present rate of progress we shall soon be able to sing There's noth- ing pure but Heaven with pure feeling.

 a chance to escape, as they will never attack you unless angered. Besides they give you plenty of time to get away, as their rattle can be distinctly heard quite a ways of. But not so with the small rattle snake we have down there. If man goes within three or four feet of that reptile it will attack him. It will sound the alarm with it's rattle, but it is So small that it is rarely heard. Our rattler can spring at least three time it's length, so you can see that you have to be very careful when wander ing out in the sagebrush. 4-... ass Just before I came to Portland l Twas in Goldfields and Tonopah," said Mir. Price. There is not doubt but that lots of people have died recently in that mining district, but believe that fatal disease they talk so much about is nothing less than pneumonia have known persons to. take down with penumonia in that climate and die within six hours. s You see when people go into that country their system becomes per meated with alkali. They neglect to take proper care of themselves, and the first thing they know they catch cold followed by the dreaded pneumonia Then if the system is in bad condi i tion death nearly always results Of course there may be an un known disease down there, but be i lieve it is straight pneumonia inten sified by the peculiar climate con ditions. You sse it is intensel hot during the daytime, and at nigh 1t becomes very cold. These extremes do the work. in my opinion.
 Nevertheless, would no advise anyone to igo into that section of tn country at the present unless they have friends there. If man takes down sick it is hard to find anyone [, take care of him.

NOT ALI PIE IN OUR ARMY.

Our army is bigger than it used to be. but 1t doesn't seem to be entirely popular with the soldiers, While the men are not leaving in such large num- bers as in the navy, there has been enough absenteeism during the past six months to worry Secretary Taft. He has issued instructions for the gen. eral staff, of which Lieutenant General Chaffee is the chief, to investigate the matter, ascertain the cause for the sudden epidemic of assertions and ap- ply a remedy.
 The proportion of assertions at cer- tain recruiting establishments is excess sive, and almost alarming. Reports from three recruiting stations in one section of the country show that the assertions during the past year equal ed 20 per cent. of the enlisted force serving there. Few complaints of harsh

THR TROUBLE IN EAST HAM

A queer situation has arisen in East Ham, a London suburb, owing to the unanimous decision of the Borough
 Council to refuse to administer the Ed ucation act. East Ham, which is one
 of the poorest districts in the country large in area, teeming with a rapidly
 increasing working class population,
 and of very low ratable value-flas an education rate of three shillings in the pound, or nearly double what it was
 in 1902, and has recently been served
 with a notice to build more schools.
 The total rates already stand at eleven shillings in the pound, and to obey the notice would mean the addition of al-
 most another shilling. The decision of the council. who have served some sey- en hundred teachers and other officials with notices terminating their engage
 ments, involves no question of passive Iresistance5'' voluntary schools or objec- ton to the education act in itself. It | is simply a strike of ratepayers; and the council, alleging excess of expendi- ture over income, and holding that the
 education of the children is a national charge, have declined to find the money
 any longer. The Education Board have promised to give the matter their best
 attention, but tits plain that the ques- tion concerns other departments It is quite possible that other councils may
 take a hint from East Ham, and follow its example, when a situation will be
 created which will demand an immedi- ate and radical remedy. There has long been a movement in favor of the
 equalization of the rates.

fair referred to above. with the Equi- table Life Assurance Company dis closures, are enough to cause decline
 in confidence. Investors want to know how far these incidents represent the
 general situation. For the time being. therefore there is less disposition than
 there was to trade on future prospects. Besides. even a large wheat crop, sell
 ing at 80 cents a bushel, and with the
 Gould system of roads possessing a line to the Pacific and the St. Paul another, railroads might not be able to support rates for freight as high as re- icently. Moreover, the whole railroad industry has Mir. Roosevelt's disfavor l to deal with, shown in his efforts to
 have law passed by Congress con- iferring on the Interstate Commission
 the power to make rates. Every day the daily press publishes evidence be fing taken before the Senate committee indicating that such a law would be
 disastrous in the last degree to the lcarrying trade. With all these inci- dents operating to make the present
 wear a more disturbing and less hope sful aspect, and with the bear contin-
 gent active, it is no surprise that there
 should be disposition on the part of
 investors to stand aloof. This does not
 mean that there is anything like
 panic in view. It means simply that we
 have reached one of those waiting oc-
 cassion when conditions do not warrant
 blind pools or reckless trading. Cau-.
 ton instead of rashness is for the mo-
 ment in control. So far as the real worth of the properties is concerned,
 some have not discounted the future ,of values, while others no doubt have, and it will do no harm and may be of no little benefit if the waiting mood and readjusting condition shold pre- vail for time Financial Chronicle.
