Will Lead in War on the Opium Evil

means of international agreements
through which opium producing coun'
tries will protect. by means OF gov
eminent supervision, ports where the
importation of the drug is prohibited.
The first realization Of the serious
ness of the opium traffic so far as the
United States is concerned came when
the government started to put the
Philippines in order. An attempt to
regulate the unlimited traffic there
called for the appointment of COM
mission. The commission in tracing
the many Americans engaged in the
opium trade found that the United
States, with some 100000 American
users of smoking opium, to say moth
ing of the Chinese users here, pre-
scented almost as serious a question
as the insular possessions. Since that
time the United States has led the
fight among the powers against the
drug.
About a year ago law absolutely
prohibiting the importation into this
country of opium for any except medi-
cinal purposes was passed. But there
are now about $50, 900 Americans using
the drug, and in spite of the prohibit
tory statute about $4,000 pounds Of
smoking opium is Struggled into this
country annually.

Uncle Sam Is to Test the Open Door

When the recent convention be-
tween Russia and Japan was sprung
on the world American diplomats ex-
pressed little surprise. The govern.
ment has believed from the first there
Is a secret article in this convention
which has not been made public. 1t is
felt the unpublished portion is an
agreement on the part of the two ma
tons to support each other in barring
other nations from the territory In
question. The United States intends
to force Russia's hand and determine
whether such secret bargain exists.
The concession granted to the English
American syndicate was for the con-
struction of the Chin Chow-Aigun rail-
road line. English capitalists were to
furnish the funds and the materials
were to be built in America.
There is one drawback to the situa-
ton from the standpoint of this gov
eminent. England for some unknown
reason, is weakening. Her enthusiasm
for the joint undertaking cooled per-
ceptibly after Russia had entered an
objection. Diplomats seem to think 1t
quite likely that the United States will
have to make the fight single-handed
to keep Manchuria open with equal op-
portunity to all nations.

Tattoo Suggested for Army Horses

third marking takes place when the
horse is sent from the army remount
depot to the troop or battery, and it
must be renewed from time to time
1t is Captain Conrad's idea that a
more enduring designation could be
accomplished by applying mark to
the inside of the upper lip of the
horse. He has devised an instrument
for this purpose, and suggests the use
of India ink, with the result that the
numeral adopted will be indelible.
This will require, of course, a regular
system of marking so that there may
be no duplicates. BY this means a
horse accepted for military service
will keep it's number. 1t may be nee
essary to have legislation to prevent
tampering with the designation or ma
king use of similar mark in the case
of horses not used In the military
service.
Captain Conrad's quest is expected
to lead to several important acquisi.
tons during the coming year. By this
method the middleman is avoided, and
horses are obtained at a much lower
price than under the contract system.
Besides, there is better opportunity
of selection, and controversies are
avoided which so often have prevailed
between the government representa-
tives and the contractors who fail to
comply with specifications in the de-
livery Of military animals.
