War and the u. S.

With our nation confronted by an actual con-
dition of world wide war involving the greatest
nations of Europe it is now neither indelcate nor
inhuman to point out the advantages the United
States may expect to gain from the unfortunate
predicament of its fellow powers.
In the first place the security OF our present
and future conditions is based on our good for
tune in being out of the war zone and the ex-
treme improbability of our being drawn into the
turmoil in any way.
The outbreak of hostilities between the Euro
pean nations comes at time when the crops OF
all the nations involved are but half grown. The
harvest that was to have been will never come. 1t
will be lost, due to the withdrawal of the farmers
and their laborers to fill the ranks of the warning
armies, or ground to dust under the feet of the
marching, battling hosts.
Europe then will demand more OF our farm
products this year and next and at much more
profitable prices than ever before in the history
of our nation. The nations sharing in this dis
tribution of our surplus farm products will nat
uraly depend upon which group of warning pow
ers controls the sea through preponderance of
naval power.
The factories of Europe practically will not
turn q wheel until the war is over. All the men
most necessary to factory operation will soon
have been drawn into the armies that are staging

BOARD OF WORKS
ROUTINE MATTER

Assessment roll for the improve
ment of the first alley west Of Sheri-
dan street to the alley south of State
street was approved by the board of
works today after Robert Kersey had
filed a remonstrance against the ben
efits assessed to him. His request for
decrease in his sewer system was
also denied.
Amos Wolf petitioned the board to
take off ten feet on the north side of
Pearl street which is being opened
west of West Fifth street and make
the street ten feet wider on the south
side. Under the present plan, he said
the street would come right up to his
home. The board decided to make an
investigation.

Editor:
Perhaps in your excellent paper you
may find space to print the enclosed
editorial Of the New York Sun OF July
81. either wholly or In part. The
second part OF the article seems to
be especially pertinent as regards the
schools OF Richmond, when one re-
members the many cases OF infectious
diseases occurring In the schools each
year. Early recognition Of and added
care about quarantine would und0ubt-
edly prevent many cases. The Rich
mond schools are so exceptional in
other respects that feel sure only a
little general education amongst par
ents of pupils would accomplish much
benefit and aid in preventing much
disease and resulting discomfort to
the whole city.
Thanking you for your courtesy,
@ea IL s. b. G.
The editorial follows: -.. @~
The Ounce OF Prevention.
"The announcement that prepara-
tions for increasing the efficiency OF
the Bureau OF Child Hygiene OF this
city are under way is gratifying to
those who realize the enormous I'M
portance of this work in the prevent
fon of disease and disability which
may handicap the individual through

permit one-half Of them to go through

that must diminish their efficiency IN
the social fabric is equivalent to neg

while planning and striving for its
perfection and durability.
"The expenditure Of money for the
discovery and remedying of physical
and mental defects among our school
children by thorough inspection and
after treatment presents most eco.
nomical phase of municipal admin
istration. In the first place the re
moval of defects in nearly one-halt
of our school children must add
materially to their efficiency in after
life as contributors to the general vel
fare and communal prosperity.
Secondly, an effective school in
spection results in the early recog
milton of infectious diseases and thus
prevents their diffusion, saving cost o1
sickness and funerals and conserving
these valuable lives to become prec
ious economic factors. From the al
truistic standpoint the addition OF the
inspectors and nurses to be provided
in the next budget is imperative, fol
it involves the happiness and com
fort of 100000 children, according tt
last years record. From the taxpay
er's viewpoint the Board of Estimate
should be commended If it grants the
appropriation asked for. because II
would provide the stitch in time

long run.
The record shows that last veal
only one-fourth of the 100000 children
in whom defects of more or less
severity were discovered by the in
spectors were remedied, and that o

though some OF them are still under
10 years of age, marched upon Louis
vile today and the city capitulated
without signs Of resistance. 1t had
bedecked itself in red, white and blue
and everywhere was to be noted its
watchword, Welcome, United Span
ish War Veterans. The national en-
campment OF the boys who marched
away in 1898 to fight Spain and free
Cuba began today with an attendance
that promises to exceed that of any
previous encampment The national
officers expect that 5000 will attend.
The veterans are men who have
seen service in many parts of the
globe under the United States flag.
Some of them charged up San Juan
hill; some belonged to the Rough Rid
ers, others helped set Porto Rico in
order; many helped discover" the
Philippines. The first thing the vet
erans did on reaching Louisville was to
hunt up old comrades and brush mp
their Spanish. "Senor" has replaced
Colonel" as the most general form
OF salutation in Louisville.

Commander in Chief John Louis Smith
OF Washington called for business
meeting this morning. In the after
noon a luncheon and reception for the
women attending the encampment was
the feature Tonight, the Military
Order of Serpents holds session,
fafter which there will be a military
ball at the Army.
The convention was called to order
by Gen. John b. Castleman. one of the
most distinguished of Spanish war vet
erans. Gen. Castleman has the dis
tinction Of having fought for and
against the United States In the
civil war he was one of the most dash
ing Confederates. He belonged to
Morgans raiders and while trying to
set free the Confederate prisoners in
Camp Douglas, Chicago, was captured
and thrown into prison. Here he was
in danger Of execution but at the solici-
tation of his sister President Lincoln
issued an order protecting him.
The war over. he was banished from
the United States never to return
but two years later this harsh decree
was lifted. Castleman returned To
Louisville, became a foremost citizen
and when the Spanish war broke ou'
was one of the first 10 volunteer. Pres
ident Mckinley made him a general
