LIFESAVING AND KILLING.

Current figures cxemplify the para
doy that the most precious thing Is the
cheapest-in dollars and cents-and the
most useless thing is the dearest.
II will not be questioned that the
most profitable achievement is the say
ing of human life 1t seems to he also
the least expensive. Down at Panama.
for example, Colonel Gorgas and his
aids have effected a wonderful saving
of human life by transforming what
was one II the highest death rates In
the world 10 one Of the lowest. The
actual cost Of this work is accurately
figured out 10 be only s. Is for each

cost nearly $4,000, and in the present
Balkan war which has been waged
very economically. it has cost probably
more than $4,000. Seeing that there Is
nothing more wastcful than the dcStruc-
ton of human lives. ii would be Il cost

done without expense. At Sl1.ooo Il

That was nearly twelve years ago. TWO
years later treaty was made conflrm-
ing Cuba's title TO the Isle Of Pines, but
il was not ratified. Surely it is time
for the adjustment which was promised
in 1901 10 be finally effected. 1t Is
neither creditable nor profitable to have
Tie status of the island in doubt. If we
have title to it the fact should be as

- ENERAL VICTOR CONSTANT
4 MICHEL formerly vice president
~ Of the Superior Council of War
and chief of staff, with the commis-
sion Of generaiissimo in the event OF
war. has just been appointed military
governor OF Paris. II is the most i'm %
portant military ONCE under the re-
public: supeSior even to that which ne
formerly held. For whereas the vice
president Of the Council of War and
the chief of stafr only receives the
supremo command of the troops in the
event Of war. il Is TO the military gov
ernor Of Paris that the government OF
the republic looks at all times for its
preservation from overthrow by those
popular risings in the metropolis
which have been responsible Tor so
many revolutions and changes OF
regime in France.
The metropolitan military district
over which General Michel now rules
supreme in a military sense. embraces
not only all Paris and its suburbs. as
well as the elaborate system OF Tort
resses by which il Is surrounded, anu
too. the great military schools anu
arsenals. but also the army DIVISIONS
of Rouen. Mans and Orleans. In fact'
he has under his command the largest
body of troops placed under any one
officer in time OF peace-and they are
all picked troops at that: the troops
upon whom the public depend to pre-
serve II from any insurrecton, such
as that of the Commune in 1891, ana
from any monarchical coup
If the military governor of Paris
fails in his duty. If he betraSs MS
trust. then the republic as now consti-
tuted is lost. 1t is no exagseration 10
assert that its entFe existence Is
staked on the loyalty and efficiency OF
this one single general And that is
why he has always been chosen by the
government with such remarkable care
and with less regard TO his politicai
preferences than 10 his known sense
Of duty and OF honor. No higher com i
plirent could be paid 70 Generai
Michel than the universal approval
which his appointment TO the military

at the Berlin War Department OF being
the ablest commander OF the French

a French general subjected 70 more
