london, July 5.-The transfer of
American battleship fleet to the Paci-
fic, which is attracting considerable
attention here leads the Morning
Post to remark editorially that the
move is natural and Ineligible. The
only wonder is that IL was not made
year ago. That the whole feet will
be sent seems to indicate great deal
Of stTategical Insight on the part of
the navy department, II the iees had
been divided between the Atlantic
and Pacific the American navy would
for long time have been reduced to
impotence in both oceans.
II is predicted that when the feet
reaches the Pacific the inhabitants
of the eastern section of the United
States will begin to realize that II is
very far off, and will become very
anxious TO see the Panama canal COM
pleted. The west also viii lament the
distance OF the sea voyage separating
II from the east and will be eager
to shorten 1t by opening the istmus.
The voyage OF the feet may there
fore be the determining incident in
a very important matter. OF American
national policy. "
Both the eastern and western pop
ulations will wish to have the bat
tleships on their own coast. East
will admit that the other has a claim
upon the ships. Accordingly the east
and west alike will be willing 10
vote the money for the construction
of another eighteen battleships as well
as for the Isthmian canal.
Admitting that the prospect OF diff
fculties with Japan may have possibly
indirectly influenced the movement,
nc indications are seen and II is not be-
lieved that either America or Japan
seeks a violent solution Of the ques-
tion Of admitting or excluding orr

ate degree they give OF strong
smells, distinguishable by anyone.
At higher temperatures metals loss

an odor on being heated after laps,
of several hours in a cold state.

SCHOOLS FOR sroKpx CHILDREN

ter Of German Foress.
In Germany the plan OF establish
Ing schools In the center OF forests
for children whose physical oondi-
ton requires special care has been
tried Of recent years. DIR. Grac has
given In the Centraiblatt fur Gesun-
dheitspnege an account OF the re-
suits obtained at one Of these ss-
tablishments, at Gladbach, run on
lines similar to those Of the Char
lottenburs school at the gates Of
Berlin.
The pupils. numbering 11s, were
for the most part scrofulous or an
aemic. No tuberculosis patients
were admitted. The daily instruct
ion lasted two hours and three-quar-
tors and was in three parts, with In
tervals Of rest. The subjects 10
which the greatest amount OF at
tention was given were natural his-
tory and gymnastics.
The children were made TO lie
down from to p. M. Must of
them enjoyed refreshing sleep dur
Ing this period. Their hygienic edu-
cation was carried on with special
care. There was a medical inspec-
tion every day.
The sanitary results OF the frst
seasons working, In the summer OF
last year, were most satisfactory.
There was an increase Of weight In
all the pupils after q stay Of four
months. This increase was on the
average about 1900 grammes. II
coincided with an Improvement in
their general condition.
The cost Of the new institution
was paid, partly by the pupils par
ents. partly by the town of Glad
bach and partly by the German ASS
ociation for Holiday Colonies. Other
establishments of the same kind are
being planned in various parts OF
Germany.

CHINESE AS SOLDIERS.

Experience of an English Officer Who
Drilled and Trained Them.
One OF the greatest assets pos
sessed by Chinese as soldiers is IN
their marching powerj another is
their ability to manage with the
smallest amount of transport, owing
to the hardy outdoor life and cli-
mate to which they are accustomed, ,
and to the fact that thoy live al
most entirely on rice, writes Mayor
G. ID. Bruce in the United Service
Magazine. Two other points In
favor are that they have no caste
prejudices. and have already learned
the virtue OF discipline before they
enlist. Drunkenness is practically
unknown among them, bur they
have the national failings Of gamb-
ling and opium smoking.
My own experience leads me to

up children. and perhaps the most
