BRITISH VOLUNTEERING.
Strength of the Regulars Scattered
Over World-Civilians' Response.

From the Boston Transcript.
Though Great Britain never has al
lowed its regular army to decline to a
negligible factor of public defense. It has
not maintained Il permanent establish
ment emitting 1t to place among the
military powers of the first rank As
compared with France. Germany. Russia
and Austria. Great Britain has seemed
almost Indifferent to the possibility of be-
ing called upon to take the field To be
sure. at the opening of the present year
the British regular army had an aggre-
gate strength. all ranks, of not far from
2J0,0O0. The necessity of defending
India and other dependencies and pos
sessions spread this force over so large
an area that but little more than one
half of it was available for European
service. India calls for the presence OF
$4,000 British soldiers. In addition to
10000 native troops in British pay and
$1,000 auxiliaries. Colonial garrisons,

The Woman Soldiers of Mexico.

3.
A Mexican army entraining is pictur-
esaue in much the same way that a
gypsy camp Is 1t includes soldiers
women, children, pots and pans of primi-
tive domesticity, pet dogs. cats. lambs,
goats and even parrots. The regulations
allow the soldiers to take their families
to war. Officers told me that the rule
was one woman to every eight men, but
if such a regulation exists it is for pub
LEGATION only. As many women go as
want to-and when an army moves out
from a large city the number of solda-
deras is pretty likely to be more than
one-third of the soldados. And many of
them have one or several children.
From the days of the Montezumas,
Mexican women have borne their part
in war. and Mexico cannot imagine an
effective army without it's array of wom-
an camp followers. They forage for the
armys food and cook it. They carry
water to their men on the battlefield;
they are the only nurses that the wound
ed have: frequently they march beside
the weary soldiers. carrying, not only the
camp equipment, but their guns as well.
They are brave, patient, harding working
and faithful. Sometimes they are the
legal wives Of the men they accompany
more often their relations are for the
campaign only These soldaderas range
sixty or more-the older women being.
usually. the mothers of conscripts. who
elect to follow their sons to the front.
1t may seem strange that women in
such numbers undertake the dangers and
hardships of campaign. but life is
cheaply held among the lower classes in
Mexico, and hardship and fatigue are the
common lot in peace or war. Besides
these women plumber the dead on the
battlefield. and pick up what they can
on the march. \ woman cooks for her
own man as matter OF course IL she
cooks for any others they pay her, and
pay well. successful campaign will
frequently furnish capital with which to
start a little shop or attract a desirable
permanent husband in civil life.
1t pays to read the want columns of
The Star. Hundreds Of situations are
filed through them.

Financial experts from the countries

The head of the American Thrift So

made on our own soil SO that our cot
ton mills can make twice as much
cloth as they ever made before? Is
there any doubt as to what the answer
will be? Not unless Americans have
lost all those qualities that we are
wont to boast of having.
1t will take time. But none Of the
time need be wasted. The thing for
every manufacturer to do Is to take
stock of his trade and consider how to
meet the situation; every merchant
should look about to find where he can
find in America things he has been inn
porting from Europe: and every Amer
lean should be calmly optimistic and
enthusiastically calm.
1t is no time for fear. nor is it a
time for gloating over the troubles of
other people. We have enough troubles,
but we shall find happiness and pros
perity in overwhelming them.
1t is the biggest event in history. It
challenges the Yankee spirit as 1t was
never challenged before. Who dare
prophesy a failure?

NEW SOURCE OF RADIUM,
Deposits in Pennsylvania, But May
Not Be Workable.

With the prominence given to the sub
ject of radium. some interest attaches to
brief report by Edgar T Wherry de-
scribing a deposit Of carnotite near
Mauch Chunk. Pa. published as bulletin
5S-H of the United States geological
survey. Carnotite is one of the radium-
bearing minerals, and this deposit is be-
lieved TO have been formed by precipita-
ton from the ground water and can now
be seen IN process OF formation where
water trickles out through cracks In the
rocks.
The deposit Is OF significant Interest
but the present knowledge regarding 1t is
insufficient to warrant any statement as
to Its workability. SO far AS IL now
known the total area covered by the
carnotite- bearing lenses Is very small
the observed outcrops being confined to
Il strip but few hundred feet In extent.

hardly believe it at all. And then came
the great shock of uncertainty. Thanks
to the cooperation of the government
and the business leaders Of the eoun-
try, the period of shock passed by very
quickly indeed. and that without a
panic. The banks stayed open, and
the ordinary business affairs OF the
country were not Interrupted. Ihat
this Is true in due in large measure to
the summary stoppage of the specula-
tive business of the exchanges.
The next period is that of stimulate
That period we are entering now. IL
is according to how we make use OF
that stimula ton whether We are to be
the losers or the gamers by the war.
If we waste its energy in speculation.
in get-rich-quick schemes for taking
big profits, then the boom will in
evitably collapse. If we use 1t for the
period will not prove so disastrous.
The third period is that OF read1ust-
ment. War is destructive of wealth:
1t hurts the country directly involved
most of all. and that country is least
able to bear the loss. But the loss is
in part distributed to all countries. be-
cause the desolated and ravished ma
ton has no means with which to buy
from the nation that has been at peace.
But the peaceful nation is the better
able to bear the loss, and in this in
stance, in the American isolation, it
may be that our losses will be more
than overcome by our gains.
1t is to be regretted that almost the
first symptom of the period of stimula-
| ton was a purely speculative one.
Prices of food were advanced because
of 1.-The war;" under circumstances that
clearly indicated reduction. The
country. has more wheat than it ever
had before, and no ships to send 1t

to haul wheat to a glutted market. and
yet bakers in some places increased
| the price of loaf of bread from to
cents. 1t was to repress such specula-
tive tendencies that the government
took such prompt steps to investigate
| the advanced prices of foods. 1t was
natural for sugar to go up. but it was
Both went up. Herein lies one of the
great dangers of the war to us-that a
few of our people will be so tempted
by an opportunity to extort big, quick
profits that they will lose sight of the
common good.
Fortunately, there is another side to
| the shield. Other business men have
| said they would not advance prices
except when necessary, but that they
would do everything in their power to
Increase our business.
