Opium and Substitutes.

From tho New York Tribune
Mr. Harcourt the British colonial min
lister, will doubtless arouse much cen
troversy and may incur some censure
with his deprecation Of too rapidly fore
ing the anti-opium campaign. but he GER
tainiy seems to have rational ground Tor
the attitude which he has taken. lbs
point is that suppression of the opium
traffic jncites Indulgence in other and
even more pernicious drug habits. and
that before pushing the former process
TO an extreme il viii be desirable 10
adopt some effective course of action Tor
the prevention of the substitute evils Ii
is well known that China was hard
drinking nation until alcohol Was sup
planted by opium. and with the abolition
OF opium t5ere was fear that drunken
ness might be resumed. That Is not
known to be the case thus far. But IT
is known that the use Of morphine ny
podermically and of cocaine and other
drugs has greatly increased since the
campaign against opium began to be e.
fectiNe
The answer to Mr.. Harcourt and 10
his critics is that the campaign should
be prosecuted against all drug habits
against the substitutes for opium as Well
as opium itself. 1t may be more dif1cuit
to suppress the needle than the pipe. eut
1t can be done.

HOW sun WOULD
GUARD CHINA

SHANGHAI, Dec. 7.-Dr. Sun Vat
set has presented to President Yuan
Shih-kai two plans for saving Mon
golia from Russia's hands. The first
plan is to issue paper money, and
make it legal currency, and at the
same time to stop the circulation OF
both gold and silver money which Is
likely to impair the price Of paper
money. Why cannot China fight Rus
sia in face of the latter's insolent at
titude? asks DR.. Sun. 1t is because
China is in financial difficulties. By
issuing paper money, however, the
Chinese can fight Russia without Dor
rowing any foreign money.
The second plan is to safeguard
China's territories from Russian
invasion by strategy. Russia Is now
invading Chinese territories because
China cannot fight her. To resist Rus
sia's aggression by diplomatic negoti-
alton is impossible. But the present
disputes with Russia can easily be set
tied if the government issues paper
money and this consolidates the IL
nances. At present Russia has a
standing of one million men, an army
which can be increased to five mil
lions in time of war China has 50O.-
900 well-trained soldiers, while her
militia is almost innumerable. Judg-
ing from the present provisions OF
Russia, it is. difficult for Russia to
bring 500, 900 soldiers to Mongolia
within six months, but China can cas-
lily dispatch the same number OF sol
diers to Mongolia at any time. After
six months, she can reinforce the army
with another 100000 fresh men. Then
China can open fire upon Russia.
This is the plan of operation for the
first year. But If China be defeated
in the first year of war, she can dis.
patch two million soldiers TO Mongolia
in the next year to fight Russia. With
these two million troops China can,
DIR. Sun believes, not only drive Rus
STA out of both Mongolia and Man
churia, but can recover also the prov
iIfce of Amur from Russia. Should
this war end in China's defeat, she can
dispatch another force OF four mil
lions, and If still China be defeated,
