RCSSIAS MILITARY SERVICES.

There ought to be less ground than heretofore
in the Russian military services for the his
toric complaint at Benny Hayens's ''promotiOns
very SLOW" Court martial and imprisonment
fatal dues, suicides and enforced designations
are removing many of the veteran officers OF
the war with Japan and making room for
new men TO come forward. 1t Is a depressing
spectacle to the world, of course, this condemn
ing unsuccessful generals to death Ito encour-
age the Others" but we suppose 1t is necessary
under Russian military law. Whether it will
permanently and materially improve the quail
ity Of the army and navy is another question,
TO which the judicious Will not hastily give an
affirmative answer.
Readers of the reports Of the investigations
into the doings Of Stoessel RoJeStvensky and
other once distinguished and honored officers are
impressed with what seems like the rottenness
of the services. Jeaousies, ntrgues sordid
self-seeking, pecuation and corruption Of all
kinds seem to have run riot from Cronstadt TO
Port Arthur and TO have been largely respon-
sible for the appalling disasters which attended
the efforts Of Russian arms against a once de-
spised opponent. But readers of the history of
more than century ago will perceive that
these are no new things. The time Of Cath
crime ii differed from that of Nicholas III In
chronology, but not In the ethics of public ser
vice John Paul Jones found the Russian naval
service 80 honeycombed with corruption that
neither he nor any man OF honor and honesty
could remain in it-corrupton Of precisely the
same kinds which now exposed Nor were
the closing years Of the eighteenth and the
opening years OF the twentieth century unique
in that respect.
1t is an interesting theme for speculation,
this prevalence Of disloyalty and dishonesty In
those services which are supposed to be the
very citadeis of the highest loyalty and the
purest honor. OF course other lands have had
spoIEdic cases Of the same kind, even our own;
but nowhere else have they approached so
closely to being endemic as In Russia 1t
would be monstrous thing to attribute this
state c. ~n.::s TO the genius of the Russian
people, ".S, Se believe, are a. capable Of

The waging Of military and scientific cam
paign against mosquitoes once titilated the
sense of humor. But 1t soon proved eff1cacious
for the suppression Of one Of the most dreaded
of tropical diseases. That achievement was as
memorable and creditable as any has been In all
the fine history Of the American army and the
medical service. Now the Public Health Ser
vice at Washington has ordered what seems like
a preliminary reconnaissance for q similar cam
paign against the fea and while that fact nat
urally gives rise to humorous comment, Its prac-
tical results are likely to be benefcent
The principal indictment against the hea is
that It is the partner Of the rat In the propaga-
ton Of the bubonic plague and is, indeed, the
more guilty of the two 1t IS perfectly well es
tabshed that the bacillus Of the plague exists
in rats Of certain breed These rats are In
tested with feas, which by their biting transfer
the disease germs other rats. When the rats
die the feas desert their bodies for other rats
or for human beings. So the feas are the essen
tal factors IN conveying the plague virus to men,
and it is possible that they convey 1t from one
TO another, from plague patient TO
healthy man, without the cooperation Of rats at
all.
For this one reason II for DO other the exter-
mination of 1eas, far 1t might be possible,
would be a highly desirable thing. There is 40
longer any fear Of the bubonic plague becoming
another BLACK death" at least In civilized lands.
1t is now too well understood. But in India and
elsewhere it has become endemic, and in other
countries, even our own cases Of II occur with
apparently invincible persistence. For its sup
preston, as we'll as for other reasons wide
spread campaigns against rats have been organ
lied with promising success. 1t will be well to
have also similar campaigns against feas.
1t is by no means improbable that other pes
tIences than bubonic plague propagated
through this agile medium There is reason to
suspect that any disease the bacteria Of which
are in the blood may thus be conveyed. 1t will
be interesting to observe the results of re
searches into the relation Of feas 10 typhus

Professor Zueblin's second Jest was even moro
clever
With all our corruption we get our moneys
worth more nearly through public than through
private spending. Our streets are cleaned very
badly but know when the work Is badly
done, and once in while we do rise up ana oe-
mand Improvement. But who knows anything
about the leakage at our kitchen doors?
Probably half his audience gasped at this
audacious suggestion, and some may even have
suspected that the utterance Of such an indefen-
sible heresy had something to do with the pro-
fessors resignation from the Chicago University
faculty only last week How can q Chicago man
extol public financiering at a moment when even
the model water department Of his own town
appears to be a proper object Of attack? And
vet Professor Zueblin is only preaching the OBJ
vious Whether with full consciousness or not,
Americans have always felt that public spend
ing yields the highest returns in fun. instruction
and warning: and Just to prove their faith they
give carte blanche to every aspiring statesman
for the purchase of submarine parks and $1,000
bootblack stands. The leakage at our kitchen
doors is doubtless greater than that in public
Offices; but it is poor investment, because only
the servant girls get any fun out of 1t. In his
second preachment, therefore, Professor Zueblin
has again proved himself a humorist Of the first
order by seeking the conversion Of all men to
their own deepest belief.

BASEBALL LEAGUE At
MOL0KAI SETTLEMENT

A baseball league, consisting of
four clubs has been organized at the
,eper settlement. Superintendent
Jack McVeigh states that the organ
iZation was effected last Friday just
before he left for Honolulu. Three
of the teams are from Kalaupapa and
the fourth belongs to the Baldwin
Home.
But the teams need the apparatus
to play the game, and they are not in
position to get It. Balls, bats, masks,
etc, are essential, and McVeigh hopes
that the people of Honolulu will CONS
to the assistance of his wards an /
donate the things necessary. The
expense, properly divided, would be
lICOnsequential. Secondhand bats
and masks would be appreciated. Pos
sibly some of the sporting goods
houses might present the leper teams
with a stock of balls.
Superintendent Jack McVeigh is
EOw in town, and may be found most
of the day at the Offices of the Board
of Health. Anyone who is DESTROYS
of adding to the happiness OF the
Territory's wards on Molokai by as
Sisting the baseball league of the
settlement in the manner indicated
will find Jack glad to see him.
