WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 27.--
The army medical officers are prepar-

new apparatus in the field for the

which apears to have attended the
work of the Japanese surgeons, who
were able to apply the best ideas
from the European armies.
Our own surgeons will experiment

The Park SUPERINTENDENT.

:. Mr.. Wirth, the new superintendent OF
parks, who is reported in the newspa-
pers to have been influenced to leave
Hartford because the system Of that
city was about completed and there
was no further field for endeavor, will
not find the same reason for leaving
Minneapolis for years to come. The
park system Of Minneapolis is not fin
ished in any particular and in some it
is not yet begun. There are the river
bank parkways; the boulevards, the
lake parks and several other uncom-
pleted ventures in park building which
will keep him busy devising and doing
for a decade. There is plenty Of room
for, improvement. @
Mr.. Wirth IS expressed ideas that the
parks should be something besides gar
dens is good. He evidently favors max
ing the parks places where people may
do things, where young people will be
encouraged, almost impelled, to run
about and even to laugh boisterously.
We hope this will be the case under his
administration. -. .."..-. .......
Mr.. .Wirth has come to Minneapolis
with a great reputation. He has come
at very opportune time. The park
finances, which have been burdened for
a series of years with interest upon
certificates. are emerging from under
that load. This means that there is
some money for care and little fol-
nermanents improvements. The latter
has heretofore been used in a patch
work manner, somewhat as an alderman
distributes the street fund thru all the
highways of his ward and improves
none Of them. IF Mr.. Wirth can man
age to impress upon the park board the
business-like idea of taking hold Of
specific problems and staying with then
until they show effects, he will have
deserved well Of his adopted city.

The Recent Navy Incident.

It remains to be seen whether the
navy department will have the nerve
to go after "fighting Bob Evans'' who
commanded the battleships which near
ly ground each other to pieces in the
mouth of New York harbor. Admiral
Evans has been favorite hero in naval
circles. He handled the Iowa well in
the battle Of Santiago and he has since
then handled the visits to this country
of Prince Henry of Prussia and Prince
Louis Of Battenberg to the highest sat-
isfaction Of the red tape and courtesy
departments. He also handles lineeof
language not carried in the dictionaries,
and this is said to enhance his dignity
as a fighter in the minds of some who do
not discriminate closely between fight
ing and frothing. T..
It is impossible to say whether Ad-
miral Evans was responsible for the
damage to his fleet, but the difficulty
only adds to the reasons for an official
inquiry such as was had after the Ben.
nington blew up. An inquiry might de.
velop whether the alleged shorthanded:
ness of the navy which was advanced as
cause for the Bennington disaster ap
plies to the rest of the navy. If it il
true, then the duty of congress to put
itself in possession Of the facts and tt
provide the remedies is pressing. The
United States cannot afford to built
$6,00O,00O war machines to have then
destroyed in time of peace from lack Of
engineers to run them. .<

Durum Wheat.

The department of agriculture is
congratulating itself upon recent dem
onstrations of the high quality. Of dur
in the regular milling trade. 5Investi-
cations show, it is said, that the wheat
makes excellent bread, that it keeps
fresh longer than ordinary hard spring
wheat bread, and that a majority Of
consumers like it better. The north
west knew long ago that the wheat
made good bread, and there is really
nothing new in the bulletin except the
statement that a majority Of consumers
prefer it. No doubt the department
has experimental sufficiently to feel
warranted in making this last state
ment.
Durum or macaroni' wheat has
had hard fight for recognition. The
department, knowing that it would
grow upon semi-arid land, where there
is insufficient average rainfall for or
binary spring wheat, introduced it, and
pushed it along with the farmers. The
wisdom of this, in the broad, genera
view, is scarcely open to argument. Il
land that will not ordinarily produce
grain, or upon which the growing oil
grain is precarious business, can b.
made to yield regular crops of macaron
wheat, the benefits to the country over
shadow all the minor disadvantage
that may follow. 1t was natural tina
the great milling industry, accustome'
to the use Of spring wheat, and not de
string to make the changes necessar,
for the grinding Of durum, should no
do much to encourage it's growth. I
was to be expected that the trade joul
nails, ostensibly representative Of mil
ing trade sentiment, should have al
tackled the department, and question:
the motives Of the men pushing tn
area of macaroni wheat. More recen
~ there has been less Of this, and til
millers themselves, if indeed they eve
felt as bitter about the matter as the:
trade journals made out, have appa
emily undergone a change Of heart.
IF the department is able to sho1
!, after several years, that it has mac
wheat to grow where none grew b
fore. it will have made good. This

rical comedy, but the satire is not vim
dictive and the comedy is mildly enter

the possibilities Of the lines, but as a
whole the offering is well balanced and
entertaining.
The story Is not a new one, the play
wright having followed rather closely in
the trail of Anthony Hope. Mr. White
side has the dual role Of the soldier Of
fortune placed upon the throne of the
Kingdom Of Kalmburg thru the machina-
tions of the politicians of the court and
the other king. The story, in brief, is
that Of a supposed imposter who proves
to be the real king.

acceptance Of a mystifying situation
when he, as correspondent, is seized and

be expected of any man, no matter how
