 Had President Grant, Hayes, Arthur and Harrison for themselves or for others put forth the measure of effort which President Roosevelt is putting forth for Mir. Taft the best public sentiment would have demand
 ed their impeachment. They might not have been inpeached, but the demand that they should be would have tarntshed them in history. The efforts which President Roosevelt is putting forth to force the nom inatIon of Secretary Taft, have aroused no such indignation as the same efforts by other executives, for themselves or for their fayorftes would have done. There Is an insensfbility to extreme courses due to the long allowance of them. Mir Roosevelt can do with impunity what his predecessors could have done ouIy to their own destruc- tion in public opinion and in history An admirable man, prescribed by an absolute executive, and both of them hardly more than feebly opposed by g covering party, is e spectacle which republicaAism exhibits, and by which 1t Is puzzled. not to say para Iyzed.

The schooner was seen struggling in the trough of the sea of the Delaware Capes and when the Mama Hata. which had been blown off her course, neared the locality where the schooner was last sighted riding out the storm. many pieces of a wrecked vessel and quanti- ties of railroad ties/were seen floating in the water. Captain Charles. of the Mama Hata. further reports that the winter quarters shoal light ship prob ably has broken loose from her moor ings, as the light vessel was not sight ed in it's accustomed position.
 The Italian steamer San Giovanni reached here today with Captain Morse and the crew of i've of the oil barge barges, the Fall River and the Grafton, in tow of the tug Concord from Phila- deIphia for Boston, broke adrift dur ing the storm and for hours was at the mercy of the waves, which wrench ed off the rudder and opened her seams. The Matanzas was filling rapidly when the Italian merchantman Hooven sight ed and rescued Captain Morse and hls crew. The barges Fall River and Graf ton are still missing.
 The battered superstructures or trans Atlantic Liners, arriving here to : day were mute evidence of assaults Of raging seas encountered in the storm, while incoming vessels in the coast wise and lesser trades all report in- crease in the battles with waves that kept the decks in a smother of spun and spendthrift and knocked angrily at the battened hatches.

THE HE'LL OF WAR.

"The splendid achievements OF

more effectually obtained in an army.
where only healthy men are accept
ed, and vigorous outdoor camp life
should keep its units, who are sub
ject to strict military discipline. In

alone, however. is no guarantee
against the insidious attack Of the
silent fee that fingers in every camp

April Appleton's ut is this foe,
as the records of war for the past 200
years have proved, that is RESPONSE
BILE for four times as many deaths AS
the guns of the enemy, to say nothing
of the vast number temporarily inval-
ided or discharged as unfit for duty.
1t Is this dreadful unnecessary sacri.
fee Of life from preventable disease
that constitutes the hell Of war today.
In the Russo Turkish war, the deaths
from battle casualties were 20, 600.
while those from disease were $4,000
In our great OWL conflict, of the
nearly 500 900 men who perished on
by both sides. about 400 600 we're sac
rificed to disease to 1000 from bat.
tie casualties.
"In recent campaign Of the
French In Madagascar $4,000 men
we're sent to the front, Of whom 30
were killed in action and over 1000
perished from preventable diseases.
In the Boer war in South Africa the
English losses were 10 times greater
from disease than from the bullets of
the enemy. In our recent war with
Spain IA lives were needlessly sacri-
feed to ignorance and incompetency,
for every man who died on the firing
line or from the result of wounds.
1.-THE difference between the martyr
and the victim, between the soldier
who falls on the field Of honor. and
the man who meets miserable death

given in the protection Of his coun.

nominiously forced to his grave
through the neglect Of the govern

tect the life he offered in its defense.
This man represents the victim Of the
