The influence welded by the mol
labs who are now stirring up against
US the border tribes of Afghanistan is
enormous. Clad in their sacred robes,
bearing aloft the green standard of
Islam, they go up and down the val
leys shrilling the Mohammedan war
cry. and woe be to him who refuses to
heed.
The person of the mollah is sacred.
True, the amir the other day was re-
ported to have ordered that any of
them caught preaching the pehad
(holy war; should have their tongues
torn out. But if he really issued such
an edict-which is extremely doubt
ful-it was merely meant for European
ears. Not even the mighty Habibullah
himself would care to lay a sacrile-
gious finger on one of these sanity per-
sonages. If he were to venture such
an unheard of thing, vengeance would
surely overtake him. For it is the
cardinal principle of the Ulima-as
the mollahs are collectively termed
that an injury purposely caused to one
of their number can only be atoned
for by the death of the individual in
f1icting it.

SENTINELS EVERYWHERE.

Dr. Doty has a sentinel on duty at
Port Said, and at every big port in the
world, and that sentinels duty is to
keep a close watch on the situation
there and to watch every single ship
that passes on her way to American
waters. This sentinel is not watch
ing for the plague and cholera only,
but he must keep a record of every
single case of sickness, no matter how
mild or how harmless, so far as in
lection is concerned and make q re-
port in writing or by cable to DR..
Doty. This report reaches New York
weeks ahead of the arrival Of the YES
sci that is being watched and it is
then sent back to all the ports that
the vessel is likely to stop at on her
way to New York from Suez. At each
of these ports an American health of
ficer goes aboard and finds out how
that case of sickness is being treat
ed and the condition of the suspect.
The result of this vigilance is that
when the ship gets to New York her
skipper learns within five minutes
after he drops anchor off quarantine
that Dr. Doty knows more about the
health of his crew and the condition
of his cargo than he does himself. He
has to tell DR.. Doty everything he
knows about that case of sickness, and
when he gets through answering ques-
tions, Dr. Doty knows exactly where
that case of sickness probably orig
mated, and he knows how everybody
on board that ship is, even down to
colds and pains in the back. AS every
body knows, the cholera is prevalent
in Russia, and the map reproduced
here, which is a reproduction of that
tell-tale globe at quarantine, shows
that it is not only in st. Petersburg
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1908-10-29
ALL ON BOARD WELL.

The examination of the Korea
showed that everybody on board was
well, and that the water they had
drunk and the food they had eaten
was not infected with the cholera
germs, for the water and the food and
the clothing are inspected just as
closely as are the passengers and
crew, for the admission of a single
germ might mean the infection of New
York. Russian immigrants also come
to New York in hordes on board the
great German, the Scandinavian, the
French, the British, and the other
lines whose European terminals are
north of the Mediterranean. For every
Russian passenger these ships carry
they bring a certificate from the
health authorities of the home port
that shows that each of those passen-
gers has been watched for five days in
order to make certain whether it is
dangerous for the health of New York
and the United States to allow him to
sail. If he stands the test they let
him go, but if his condition is sus-
piciOus he is sent to a hospital, and
eventually returned to the land of the
cZar.
This is where the Germans get into
the game, and the way they do their
work makes them deserving of the
gratitude of the entire civilized world,
for as everybody knows, Germany is
the great gate through which the fam
ished millions of the car escape to
other lands where liberty is universal
and the secret police are not the most
important adjuncts of governments.
That these people from an empire
where cholera and the plague are
known to exist have never as yet
spread the disease in the domain of
the kaiser is due, the American au-
thorities say, to the vigilance, the skill
and the magnificent training of the
men who are on duty in that country

Protecting African Natives.

Germany has colony with an area
of more than 100000 square miles in
southwest Africa, where the mission
aries of the Rhenish and Finnish mis-
sionary societies are at work. On
September 16, 1907, the governor of
the colony issued an important decree
concerning the import and sale Of
spirituous liquors. The measure pro-
vided that saloon keepers and other
dealers in liquor must secure a spe-
cial license, which costs between $50
and $3.50. 1t is forbidden to give or
sell spirituous liquors to any native,
though house servants are permitted
to receive small quantities from their
masters, though not in place of wages.
If servants become intoxicated
through liquor given by an employer,
the latter must pay fine or go to
Jail. If the offense is repeated, the
punishment becomes severe. Con-
traYentions by licensed persons are
punished still more severely.
