right to vote and that they would
have voted for license.
At the election license failed
to carry by one vote and the con-
testants are in hopes that a re-
count of the ballots would de-
ve'op that an error had been
made in counting the votes.
There were 1859 votes cast Of
which the vets secured "a and
the drys 83. One ballot was
blank and on another ballot the
voter marked a large X through
the two squares opposite the
'for" and against" license pro-
position. The local election board
counted it neither "for" or
against" but considered it the
same as blank.
The notice of contest was filed
with the clerk of the district
court by the contestants. The
contest will likely be tried be-
fore Judge I. M. Olsen some
time in the next sixty days.
The first proceedings in the
case will likely be the election
Of a board of judges under the
direction of the court to make
an inspection and recount of the
ballots after which the attorneys
will prepare the case for presen-
tation to the court. The recount
will be made in a few days.

10. The argument about dispersal OF forces
is nonsense The French army and the Brit
ish expeditionary force now fill all the space
in France between the Swiss mountains and
the North Sea, and have adequate reserves To
pack more men in France would be making
the same mistake that Kuropotkn did in the
japanese war when he made his front TOO
deep, with disastrous results.
20. The expedition to the Dardanelles has
caused obvious worry to the German General
staff, which has 5000 of its best officers
locked up in Turkey, and probably curses the
politicians who were instrumental in drag
ging Turkey into the war. Among the mem
bers of that staff are men who have made a
study of the British Empire and know what
formidable force can be raised by it in
certain time, say eighteen months.
Other false statements have been circulated
about Kitchener'S army and the munition

THE Science Of Christianity.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is not the office of Christian Scien-
fists to protest against the attack upon homr-
opathy which appeared to-day in your editorial
entitled "Reviving Homeopathy" but it is the
Office of Christian Scientists-many of whom
are readers and in other ways supporters
of The Tribune-to protest against the man
ner in which their religion slurringly
referred to. To refer to Christian Scientists
as "Eddyites" is about as disrespectful as to
refer to st. Johns followers as "Johnites,"
CT to those Of st. Paul as "Paulites"
Mrs. Eddy discovered the science of Chris
tianty and named her discovery Christian
Science. Adherents of Christian Science are
therefore known as and are justly entitled
to the name of Christian Scientists. To
refer to them in any less dignifed manner
is to say the least, discourteous. The writer,
however happens to be familiar enough with
the editorial policy of The Tribune to know
that il is not the desire of its publishers to
surrender its columns to any such abuse of
power.
Christian Scientists also protest against
the charge that their organization is prose
,ytng one in the sense that il urges people
to become associated with the Christian Sci
ence Church. No statement could be further
from the truth. To add so many hundred
weight of flesh to a church organization
means nothing whatever to Christian Scien-
fists. at is the spirit that quckeneth, the
hesh profteth nothing" In Christian Science
il IS proof rot mere profession, that counts !;
but the only way one can demonstrate Chris
tan Science is by understanding its teach
ings; and one can understand its teachings
only by voluntarily turning to and conscien-
tioasly studying the Bible in connection with
the Christian Science textbook, Science and
Health, with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
Eddy.
There is a possibility that The Tribune
does not know that the only PROSECUTING that
Christian Scientists do-if, indeed il can be
termed that's TO place Christian Science
literature within the reach OF as many per-
sors as possible. Surely they should not be
blamed for desiring to have their fellow
beings share the health and happiness and
peace which the study of Christian Science
has brought into their own lives.

was 60 per cent decrease in cases requir-
ing discipline, there was II per cent de-

change whatever had been made in the

1t seems to be human nature-Amertcan
human nature, at least-to do better work

thing desirable as a result of his efforts /;
whereas, the threat of discipline, Of pun
ishment, not only does not awe them over
much, but sometimes acts directly as a
challenge That division superintendent
recognized the play of all these mixed
motives in the mass of men under him, and
turned his knowledge of psychology prac-
tically to account, for his company's
profit and the mems. Wise executives these
days are applying the maxim Boost /;
don't knock" in many ways which in
crease the efficiency of the men under
them and so benefit directly both employer
and employee. 1t is good business as well
as good pragmatic philosophy.

An Officers Reserve.

If it has begun to dawn upon the gen.
eral public how helpless and hopeless
would be the plight Of this country should
a powerful enemy burst the barrier OF
our navy and land troops on our shore,
fancy how clear to the imagination OF an
expert like General Wood this potential
catastrophe has always been. 1t must be
a tremendous qualification to him, there
fore, both as seer and patriot, to have at
last in the assemblage of rockies at Platts
burg an audience at once so influential
intelligent and receptive to which to ex-
press his convictions on this point and to
which to formulate his carefully con-
sidered plans for rendering his country
capable of self-defence.
The Plattsburg rockies are, in effect
the small end of a megaphone through
which his words Of military wisdom may
penetrate to the uttermost ends of the
land. And this, after all, is perhaps
their greatest service to their country.

merest handful as compared with the
needs of an adequate officers reserve, a
fact clearly set forth in General Woods
latest utterance. Eve ought" said he,
ito have a corps of not less than 10000
such reserve officers" At Plattsburg
there are 1900
The Tribune has hitherto very modestly
computed necessary officers reserve at
10000 to 10000. 1t hereby amends its
estimate. 1t will continue, however, its
preference for more West Points as
against the methods of raising the re-
serve suggested by General Wood.
Students from the private military
schools and from the land grant colleges,
and those college boys who take the in
tensive military course in the summer
camps of instruction, can, no doubt, with
small additional expense be welded into
an officers reserve of infinitely greater
value than none. And until West Point

The Best Soldier-the Miner.
From The Mnrchester Guardiar)

From The Mnrchester GuardidnD
From an officer of a very famous regiment
who has been out in France since the begin
ming of the war and is now able to speak
without prejudice, as he has received a staff
appointment, | heard to-day some interest
ing views about the character of the different
varieties Of soldiers in the test of war. In
my friends opinion the best soldier was un-
questionsbly a miner. He had had many
miners in his regiment, and he preferred
them because they were strong in the back
and used TO dangers and explosions and could
endure cramped positions in the trenches.
Their ears were very quick, and they were
curious about sounds and their intelligence
was excellent. They put two and two to-
gether much quicker than any other class Of
his men | asked him how he managed TO
straighten out his miners to be credit to
his famous regiment. He replied that they
were not very successful at that, and that
the drafts Of miners who had joined after
the war began were older men and too far
set to be made into show soldiers.
But" he added, "the Germans probably
did not notice the difference. Anyway they
were better than the ploughmen, for no
ploughman over thirty can ever be taught to
keep step-that is impossible. 1t is also i'm
possible to get them to keep their shoulders
level one shoulder is always higher than
the other, possibly because of work with the
plough"
He had been much impressed by the ex-
traordinary relationship that had grown up
in trench life. officers and men had come
very close together in places where life and
death were matters of inches. The new
drafts especially looked to the experienced
officers in an almost filal way. The soldiers
distinguished, too, between the old profes-
sional officers and the new ones. His own
regiment had been almost stripped of the
original staff of officers, but when he and
others who had been wounded rejoined he
found that they were spoken of by the men
as "the soldier officers"

What the Seamen's Act Has Done.

When the directors of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company announced two
Ioonths ago that their feet could by no
means survive under the preposterous con-
ditions of an act supposed to have been de-
vised for the benefit Of American seafar-
ing men, there were not few who made
light of the complaint and laughed de-
risively at the intimation that before No
vember the ships would probably be sold
or leased or transferred to some service
that would suffer less from the restrictions
ot the seamen's law.
Now we learn that the Atlantic Trans
port Company has already taken over five
Of the vessels of the transpacifc feet-the
Manchuria, Mongolia, Korea, Siberia and
China. The last sailing of any of these
ships for an Oriental port is announced for
next week; in future they will all be turned
u account in the Atlantic trade.
It is possible that those who were so
scornfui of the original threat may be dis
mayed at the outcome, but it will surprise
10 one who has duly considered the I'M
avoidable consequences Of an act that was
passed without the slightest regard to ex-
pert advice and experience. The rule that
no ships shall be permitted TO leave any
port in the country unless seventy-fve per
cent Of the crew speak the same language
as the officers was alone sufficient to seal
the fate of many ships under American
registry.
1t was calculated that the cost to the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company would
entail an additional expenditure Of more
than 100000 year, prospect that could
not be entertained with complacency.
Like other American ships engaged in
this trade, those Of the Pacific Mail were
manned largely with Oriental crews and
could not hope to compete with the Jap
anese, whose officers and men are mostly
of the same nationality and speak the
same language.
There was never the least reason TO
doubt what the result of the La Toilette
act would be. 1t was pointed out and in
sisted upon repeatedly by all whose judg-
ment was at all worthy of consideration.
1t was shown that nothing could be more
prejudicial to the very class it was sup
posed to benefit. The folly and stupidity
Of the provisions were carefully explained,
but the legislators refused to listen to the
only opinions worth having, and with in
credible lack of foresight obeyed the bid
ding of irresponsible mischief makers pro-
Tossing to be the friends of labor.
At the eleventh hour the Department Of
Commerce undertook TO give the matter
further consideration, and it was admit
ted that the President was mot entirely
familiar with the situation" Is it unrea-
sonable TO hope that what is now going
forward may convince those concerned in
this pernicious piece of legislation that it
cannot possibly be Of benefit to any but
the japanese?
