spending the winter in the city. Pink
carnations in several shades furnished
effective decorations throughout the
several rooms; and pink. green and
white were used with equal effect in
serving the dainty lunch at the close of
the games. A "bundle OF sticks" (pink

was the unique favor presented to each
guest. The guest of honor received
also a gift Of flowers and a lasting re-
minder Of the day in the shape of a
handsome silk work bag.

First Aids to Matrimcnu.

That New York restaurant proprie-

bonuses for children born into their

seems to have other practical ideas.
He believes that married help is bet
ter than unmarried, more reliable,
and more likely to remain in his en-

employee who marries. and $50 for
each child born AS he employs from
400 TO 500 people, varying with the

Making Marksmen of Bous.

While our national guardsmen are
shooting at Sea Girt the people OF
the District of Columbia may find
some interest in the campaign now
IN progress in all English possessions
TO train the whole body of citizens as
marksmen.
Rifle ranges are being built ali over
the British Isles for the development
OF the schoolboys into sharpshooters.
In the Transyaal a cadet corps has
been organized to include all boys
over twelve years of age, and his
iiajesty's government is supplying
each young cadet with kit, carbine.
rife, and ammunition. Natal has
made the training of boys to shoot
compulsory in all schools. In New
Zealand companies of cadets are be-
ing peacefully modified in all the
chief towns.
The propaganda in the Transvaal is
of great interest. 1t is only three
years since great war there, war
which ranged the parents of these
boys, and many of the boys them
selves, as active enemies of the Brit
ish government. Yet within few
weeks 800 cadets were enrolled, and
now the strength of that command is
given as thirty-three officers and 1.245
boys of other ranks. organized into
four battalions and made up largely
of Beers.
Now this spirit is all wrong.
enough OF concession is made to
the necessities of war when soldiers
are trained to kill their fellow-men.
The invasion Of the public schools by
the army is only another sign of that
dangerous national awakening which
supplanted a peace governor like Lord
Curzon Of India in favor of a war
lord, pure and simple, like Lord
Kitchener of Khartoum. But it is a
revss1lGst.ion Of patriotic enterprise
among British subjects which should
make the world pause that even the
schoolboys. are being made available
for valuable military service.
In this country our national guards
men stand practically on their own
resources, and only an extraordinary
national aptitude assures susi an army
of any great fighting strength when
perchance the need shall arise. II
would be a grievous mistake to turn
!, our little red school houses into bar
racks, as The Times has already
pointed out. But it would be simple
common sense to make generous al
lowances for the training and expan-
sion of our militia.

Japan in Manchuria.

Now that the first shock incident to
the realization of Japan's seeming de-
feat in the diplomatic game that end
ed her victorious war has passed
away, the impression is gaining
ground that Japan has profited much
more than at first appeared. Com
pairing the peace conditions with
those when war opened, it is plain
enough that Japan has secured, and
firmly secured, all for which she went
to war. and much more.
Japan went TO war for national Sc
curity and honor. and has obtained
both. She was prepared to. sacrifce
every national resource, and, instead,
she has added to them She has
made Korea her own; and she has
made Manchuria Japanese sphere of
influence in about the same relation
to the empire that Korea formerly
occupied. 1t is true that the terms
of peace provide that Manchuria shall
be returned to China. But Japan will
retain Dalny, Port Arthur and the
Liao-Tung peninsula; she will -proba-
bly, retain the southern part of the
railroad, which is the commercial
backbone of Manchuria; she will save
to China the remainder of the line
to Hardin, and the joint operation
of these sections is almost certain to
be dominated by her.
Thus. with seacoast and ports in
Japan's hands. the railroad lines in
her control, and future railroad de-
velopment certain to be given its
direction by her. it is plain enough
that whatever the peace pact may
prescribe, whatever the nations may
assume, whatever protestation may
be made about maintaining the open
door, Japan is in possession of the
commercial opportunities Of Man
churia =
Japan wants Manchuria She needs
It She is closer to it than any other
power that has-the wish and. the abif.
ity to develop its possibilities She
has made a tremendous advance al
ready toward putting herself in con-
troll of the strategic points in intici-
patton of her era of commercial ex-
nansion. The evacuation by her
armies will in no wise involve loos-
ing her grip on these
Japan, in 1894, was In no such
powerful attitude as to dominating
Korea as she now occupies in rela-
ton 10 Manchuria. She had to fight
China, and then Russia, to establish
herself in Korea. She has her hand
on Manchuria and her plans laid for
exploiting it. In another decade II
will be invaded and absorbed exactly
as western Canada is now being in
vaded and absorbed by citizens of the
United States. 1t may never be JAP
anese in name, but 1t will be in every
thing else.

vious. Uncle Sam, in the administra-
ton of the civil departments, has the
same prejudice.
II married workers are better than
unmarried ones. there is every reason
why the fact should be recognized,
and the New York mans experience
ought to be supplemented by that OF
other people who are able to pass ex-
pert opinions. Preference for married
folks in giving employment would
go a hundred times farther toward
encouraging marriage than the Civ
ing of prizes.

Three Great Factors.

In considering the factors in the OPP
position to the canal which may cause
trouble. three are commonly used. One
is the power of the old Nicaragua Canal
Company, which has-ct.-esgth among
financial people who invested money in
its securities, and want TO get even
Another is the antagonistic feeling OF
the railroads that believe a canal Will
be serious competition with them.
This element has not been propitiated
by the action in abrogatiHg the contract
with the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany. Under the cid contract the Pan
anna railroad and the steamship COM
pany together made rates which were
kept on aapar with those charged by
the transccntineltal railroads.
With the old contract ab-ogated the
rates are much lower. and the cor1peti-
tive effect Is expected to be felt as soon
as the railroad has its facilities in
creased so that IL can handle Z larger
bulk of freight.
Recently, the railroad has been conSest-
ed with canal freight, but this condi-
ton is fast being improved. There was

Wallace Prepares Attack
On Canal Conditions
Reported That He Will Publish Article in En-
cheering Magazine Justifying His With
drawaI From the Work

Smarting under the criticisms made
by Secretary Taft of his conduct in re-
signing from the service of the Panama
Canal Commission former Engineer
Wallace, IL is stated. viii shortly publish
statement of his side OF the case.
This publication. IL is stated by a
friend CT Mr.. Wallace, will be Inado
either during September or October. in
one of the prominent engineering maya
zines of the country.
The setting forth of the reasons which
led Mr.. Wallace to leave the service Of
the Government is looked forward TO
with the utmost interest. Thus far he
has made no attempt to defend himself
IN detail for his conduct. He has taken
the castigation administered by Secre-
tary Taft without murmur.
Any exposition OF his side OF the case
which would vindicate his course, It is
believed. must contain a discussion OF
the details OF conditions In the canal
zone, which. in view Of his thorough
be Illuminating and perhaps sensational
Large Results Possible.
1t Is known that MIR Wallace did not
feel that he was given the necessary
authority, or properly backed up by the
commission. Whether he Is prepared
to make a general attack on the reor-
ganized commisslQp, and especially on
Chairman Shonts. can only be surnised
1t is certain that IL he makes an ef-
fective case against these authorities It
VIII be taken up and made the most OF
by the forces that are ready 10 en-
DarrasS the canal so far as possible.
Perhaps. even more interest Is felt IN
the discussion which Mr.. Wallace is ex-
pected TO devote to engineering and
sanitary problems connected with the
canal That he VIII indulge IN some
analysis of these features IS guessed
from the fact that his article is TO be
published in an engineering journal 1t
IS expected, therefore. TO deal with
technical as well as administrative and
political phases
Despite deniais. there are, still re-
ports that organized opposition is likely
to be presented III the coming session Of
Congress Friends OF the canal fully
anticipate that there will be demands
for Congressional Investigations. but Of
these they are not very fearful. They
rely on the public opinion Of the coun-
