rapid transit problem. The Eagle
hopes and believes that it will
prove the entering wedge that will
open up this knotty problem and
result in adequate transportation
facilities for all occasions at no
distant date, serving ordinary de-
mands satisfactorily meanwhile.
The present progressive move is
the placing Of an order for a fine
16.horse power automobile omni-
bus costing $500 and capable Of
carrying ten to fourteen PEG.
pie. This fine machine will be in
competent hands and will be
regularly operated between Bryan
and College. A schedule suiting
the convenience Of the Bryan and
College people will be arranged.
The machine is expected in about
three weeks and will be put into
commission at once. II one ma
chine proves profitable invest
ment, Others will doubtless be ad-
ded to the service.
The Eagle is advised that the
machine can be operated on mud
DIV roads unless the mud is too
deep, as in case Of a protracted wet
spell. A properly surfaced road,
such a. Bryan and College should
have, would overcome this difficult.
ty and give uninterrupted service.
The automobile has evidently
come to stay, and it will be the
means Of securing better roads for
all classes Of vehicles, as we'll as
affording facilities for rapid transit.

LONDON. Nov. 24.-The. well known
correspondent F: A. Mackenzie sends an
article on the latest situation in Manchuria
which is attracting considerable attention.
He says a secret diplomatic battle began
almost before the ink was dry on the Treaty
Of Portsmouth, and Japan's policy is the
effective occupation Of the country.
A few weeks g railway service began be-
tween the Japanese and Russian spheres OF
influence and already thousands OF Jap
anese have settledin Hardin and are making
a living where a European would starve.
japan must take over control of the country
when Russia relinquishes il, otherwise
anarchy will result.
The Japanese are already taking upon
themselves the regulation and punishment
OF the Hunghutzes Chinese bandits and
in general are performing all the duties Of
government which China has neglected.
Japanese rave settled all along the main
road, the railways are all in Japanese hands,
as are also most OF the police duties.
The statesmen at Pekin are well aware
of what the Japanese are doing n distrlst
Japan far more h any other power.
They see Manchuria slipping from them
and believe Mongolia may follow, and then
their great empire will be dissolved.

TTMIDITY A CRIME.


Special O. BE Despases 70 TIE SUN.
LoNi ON, o 24.-Is timidity q crime2
Justice Grantham 80 decided this week
in sentencing a man who committed man
slaughter in a paroxysm Of fear. The pris-
oner was so alarmed at threats Of violence
from dodgers who refused his demands for
rent that he fred at random from a pistol,
which it seems he always carried in fear
OF unknown terrors. Two unofending
persons who were standing at a distance
were killed. The Judge, admitting hat
there was no criminal intent, sentenced
the man to serve a year at hard labor, say
ing he had no right TO give way to timidity
and hat there were too many deaths from
the crime Of timidity.
Sociologists and ethologists have been
discussing the sptness OF the Judges desig-
nation. DR.. Forbes Winslow, the special
list on mental diseases, says he is convinced
that the Judge is right. Timidity ought to
be treated as a crime. 1t Ia never charac-
teristic Of insane people, who are invari-
ably courageous M cannot be appealed
TO by fear Of consequences when they are
determined on a desperate act. Timidity,
he says, canno be regarded as a disease.
Thomas Holmes, an expert c~riminologist,
WV hihAAAAty hwoho w Ill AIuCh AuOIc
frequently than Is generally recognized.
There Is a large class Of neurotic persons
haunted by fear OF some impending evil to
such an extent that they become entirely
irresponsible for their actions and are liable
TO commit deeds OF violence, usually against
themselves. He believes. however, that
such persons should not be sent 10 prison.
They ought to be confined in a home for the
s,rdN n Z. a.~k.s- 49,
convict will cave prison much more Of a
menace to the safety Of the public thar he is
now, inasmuch as the ruthless monotony
Of the prison will be sure to make his condi-
ton materially worse.
Secretary Brady OF the theological So
ciety considers timidity the natural result
Of mental incapacity, which is probably
hereditary, but much more Of a disease
than a crime. Timidity, besides begetting
innumerable tragedies, often leads to
drunkenness.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-Reports on the opera
ton OF the Rhodes scholarship scheme,
which Il Is intended to issue annually here
after, are now available. There are at
present 1871 Rhodes scholars at Oxford, Of
whom seventy-one : are from thu British
Colonies, seventy-nine from the United
states and eleven from Germany. On the
whole. so far as they ave been tested,
they have achieved a very high degree Of
academic success. Rose Of Quebec and
Bohan OF Melbourne are amoag the most
distinguished Of the scholars. Bohan won
nearly ei. 900 worth OF scholarships in the
past year.
The report shows that q great majority
Of h academic distinctions have been
achieved by the Colonial studerks. who in
this respect leave the Americans noticesbly
behind. It is suggested that this is because
the prospect Of coming &c Oxford to study
appeals Iess to Americans and consequently
the competition 10 less keen.
From an athletic viewpoint, however,
the Americans more than hold their own
Sutton, Young, Schutt and Stevens have all
won prominent rel in the university
sports. The Colonial students have not
'ohoh ProinhloHt Pdftm tne spOfts oxcopb
the South Africans. who hsve wonderfully
strengthened the university football team.
The doubts which were originally enter
tanned as to how the new elements would
minsle with the old have been quite dissi-
pated. The Rhodes scholars In some col
Ieges tend to keep together. especially the
Americans. but this 10 not noticeable any
more than in the case OF lads going to the
university from Eton and Harrow. In a
great majority OF cases the Rhodes scholars
have beer completely absorbed In the
general body Of undergraduates.
