Most of his earlier service was on
the western frontier in campaigns
against the Indians. and he was recon-
mended for a medal of honor for ex-
ceptional bravery in action.
His Service on Islands.
During the Spanish war Cot Maus
was on the staff of Brig. Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee in Cuba and also took part in the
Philippine Instruction. He was the
first commissioner of public health in
the Philippines under the administra :
ton of Gov. Taft, and took leading
part in cleaning up Manila and in driv-
ing out the bubonic plague and small

Discusses War and Liquor.
Even if the war in Europe costs ten
billion dollars" Col Maus said; IF it
destroys five million human lives and
devastates the fairest countries of the
world it will be small price to pay
compared with the value Of total alb
stinence among those nations for sue
ceeding generations. And ] feel that 1t
will come to that in the natural results
of the war. This is not only war of
men against men. but war against
the greatest evil the world has ever
known. The world has never awakened
to this evil, but the war is bringing to
the understanding of this world the eff
fects of alcohol upon the human mind.
For Total Abstinence.
Il have advocated to the department
that the men in the military, naval
and civil services of the United States
should he compelled by law to be total
abstainers. Employees of the govern
ment should not be allowed to drink
during active service. l have advo-
Gated this for long time. and ! hope
that the day is not far distant when
every officers commission will bear a
temperance clause. The experience of
Russia. England. Germany. France and
Austria has taught the heads of the
governments that the use of alcohol
and intelligent campaigning are incom-
patible.
1T is my belief that any man has as
muuh right to take hypodermic in
lection of morphine or cocaine as
drink of whisky.
