takes which may have contributed in any man
ner to the final result.
FOOTBALL PROFIT AND LOSS.

The virtual prohibition of intercollegiate loot
ball at Harvard for ut least year adds materi
ally TO the completeness of the revolution III
the status of that game effected through
New-York's initiative 1t also puts the game
and its advocates upon trial 10 some extent Dy
giving them an opportunity to demonstrate con
vincingly whether the game is played III large
measure for its own sake. For it Is only Inter
collegiate football that is forbidden. Harvard
can form as many class and department teams
as it pleases and play as many games. VI
course it is quite evident that in that way all
the physical benefit inherent in the game may
be secured, and certainly not all of the pleasure
II is said TO afford would be lost. If those re-
suits are really priced the Intercollegiate sport
will be widely adopted But If not, III FOOTBALL
is not played because II cannot be played with
other colleges. there will be strong presump-
ton that it has hitherto been played not so
much for the sake of the game as for the sake of
the spectacle, of the gate money and OF the
triumph over a rival.
Another interesting development of the foot
ball situation is reported from Columbia In
the statement that a recent gift of $15O,O0O to
that university made as marx OF ap-
prevail of the universitys action in abolshlng
football. The report is credible, though we are
not sure that il would be judicous for other
institutions generally to follow Columbias ex-
ample In expectation of receiving similar re-
wards. Doubtless there are many that would
he glad to do so, if they had the assurance of
such a result. We note that Columbia's gift
is to be used for endOwing prOfess0rship Of
civilization. That is appropriate, if the story
of the origin of the gift be true: for as the
gver is said to believe the abolition, if not of
football. ut least of the glaring evils of that
game is a step in the advancement of civiliza-
ton

THE COREAN APPEAL.

The old story of Coreas coercion by Japan
is repeated. We are told that the Emperor of
Chosen has declared in document bearing
the imperial seal that he did not sign or ap-
prove the recent treaty with Japan, and did
not consent to the appointment of a Japanese
Resident" and he invites the great powers
TO unite in Il protectorate over Corean foreign
affairs for not more than five years. This same
story. substantially has been heard a number
of times in the last three months since the
..Whang-Sung Shimbun'' suppressed for
publishing il. and it is not improbable that in
general terms it is true.
According to the "Whang Sung Shimbun"
when Marquis Ito on November 10 last pro
posed to the COrean Emperor that Corean for
eign affairs should be placed in Japans hands
and the Japanese Minister at Seoul should be
made a Resident Administrator, the Emperor
first sought time for deliberation and con-
suItation and when Marquis Ito urged an I'M
mediate answer. finally declared in desperation
that he would die sooner than assent to pro-
posas which would he so rIinous to Corea
The next day and the next Marquis Ito dis
cussed the matter with the Emperor's Minis
tiers and secured the assent of all but the
President of the Cabinet who said he would
die rather than consent. Finally, on Novem-
Der 1S Marquis Ito compelled the placing of the
imperial seal on the treaty without the assent
OF the President. ana since tnen the treaty
has been regarded by Japan as in full force
Whether or not this version of the incident
is entirely accurate it does not seem probable
that any of the powers will intervene in the
case. If Japan did thus coerce and ia onnress
ing COrea there are few powers in the world
that are so free from such chapters in their
own history that they could consistently oh
ject Moreover. COrea, because of its weakness
and inability TO conduct its own affairs has in
late years been the cause of two great wars
and IL therefore seems not altogether unreason
able that Japan-of all nations most concerned
should take strenuous measures for Drevent
ing any such trouble. The powers +bo+
are at this moment engaged in setting tho
Moorish house in order against the will of tho
Moroccan government are not likely 70 res,st

COLD AIR FOR PNEUMONIA.

1t is reported that a new mode Of treating
pneumonia has been tried during the last two
months at the Fordham Hospital The vital
feature of the system seems to be one which
has yielded happy results in fighting another
disease of the respiratory apparatus. tubercu-
lOsis The patients placed out of doors,
in tents in winter. where they will get
plenty of fresh air. DR.. Thomas Joseph Dunn,
who has been permitted to make the expert
ment at FOrdham. says that thirty sufferers
from the malady have been so treated since
November 1, and only one has died.
The Importance of n discovery which will
reduce the mortality from pneumonia cannot
well be OvereStimated. At the present time that
disease causes more deaths than does pulmon-
airy consumption in NewYorll State If not in
the country as a whole. Official statistics es-
tablsh the fact. There has been slow diminu-
ton in the havoc wrought by the great white
plague" and a corresponding increase in the
loss of life from the more acute disorder of
the same organs. While the grip. which is a
comparatively modern disease. and which is
frequently followed by pneumonia. is in a meas
ure responsible the prevalence of the latter
has caused profound perpexity and anxiety
among medical men. For this reason DIR. Oar
lington felt ii his duty year or more ago to
appoint commission TO make special study
Of the disease. It's cause and the influences
which tended to its spread in the metropolis,
and, if we remember correctly. the experts who
were asked to undertake the task were unable
to reach conclusions entirely satisfactory to
themselves Furthermore the majority Of the
most skilfu practitioners consider it useless to
attempt a direct attack on the microbe
toxin TO which pneumonia is believed to be due,
and deal only with needs which are revealed
by particular symptoms They seek to relieve
pain. insomnia deirium or high temperature
and guard against collapse. The utmost they
can do is TO help nature to assert itself. main
tanning such vigilant watch of q that
no chance of giving such assistance may be
lost
The story which DR.. Dunn tells is not in
possibility that he has hit upon an expedient
which is really helpful. His statements
tainly deserve careful attention. Nevertheless.
his plan needs a much more extensive trial
than il has yet received before much confidence
can be placed in II. II may be found that
something besides fresh air has been at work
in behalf of DR.. Dunns patients. Hospital his
tory is full of inconsistencies. For instance.
out of sixteen sufferers from cerebro- spinal
meningitis who taken almost simulta-
neously to Roosevelt Hospital last year all but
two died. Shortly afterward sixteen more were
taken to the same institution, and all but two
of these recovered. In all scientific matters
the broader the base of facts the firmer the
superStructure of theory.
