FEVER OUTBREAK
AMONG MARINES
SCARES PICKING

PICKING, China, July 5.-ScarIet
fever broke out among the two hun
bred American marines stationed in
Picking as Q guard at the American
legation. In an effort to prevent the
spread of the disease Col. Neville
cofnmandant of the guard. ordered the
men to move out of the barracks and
placed them under canvas, with only
two men In each tent. The tents were
pitched on the recreation ground ad
joining the legation compound and
outside the compound wall. where all
Chinese could see them plainly.
Immediately rumor was circulated
that the American legation had
brought extra troops from the Philip
pines to protect foreigners against
possible rioting which might result
from the unsettled political conditions
and the financial stringency brought
about BY the moratorium. This ru-
NOR grew and added to It was re-
ports that the Japanese were also TO
bring In thousands of troops from
TsingtatI and Japan for the protection
of foreigners.
These reports became so insistent
that the Chinese government issued q
formal denial, explaining the reason
for the tented colony outside the
American Legation compound. s
Only five American marines had the
scarlet fever. These were quaran.
tined IN a gun shed on the city waR
adjoining the legation.

proved the truth Of their belief In liy-

while the outward difficulties were so
great the inward path was made
straight before them by the enthusi.
asm Of their faith and the devotion
to those truths Of life, which they had
discovered and explored. When those
who had learned the message from
them reached at last the shore Of
Japan. their ideals found home
among your people could not help
contrasting the almost insurmountable
difficulties. which these earliest pill
grims from our shores must have en-
conntered, with the ease and comfort
In which have Just been able to ac-
compiish my journey. What must have
taken many years In those early days
can now be completed In less than q
month. Yet this modern civilization
with all It's mechanical appliances for
making life comfortable and progress
rapid on the outside, has beco1ne Itself
q barrier In its turn with regard to
the inner spirit Of man, because it has
made our life 50 intricate that it has
lost its transparency Of simplicity.
Our things are more IN evidence than
ourselves. Our ENGAGEMENTS are too
numerous, our amusements are too
frequent. The surface scum Of life
has become thick and muddy. All the
odds and ends, vast waste materials
Of civilization floating about It, have
created q growing barrier, not only
shutting out our deeper nature bat
something has taken its place on the
surface. where his richness is In his
materials, his strength In his organiza.
tiop, his heroisnl In his ambitious IN
deftakings, his mind tn his science.
Mans heart Is suuandering its strength
In Its craving for the dram drinking
Of sensationalism. pitifuily asking for
its continual dose of fresh news and
fresh noise, losing its healthy taste
for food in its unsuitable thirst for
stimulants. It Is the stupendous un-
reality Of this modern civilization, al.
ways changing i.s SHAPE and shifting
its course, furioasiv riding iii.cli the
dust storm OF unmeaning restlessness,
scattering about II In the wind shreds
OF things torn and mangled, decaying
and dead, all this is making the real
man invisible to himself and to others.
In the day Of heroic simplicity, 1t was
easy to come near to the real man,
but IN the modern times It is the
phantasm Of the giant time itself
which IS everywhere and the man Is
lost beyond recognition and the means
OF communication itself Is diminishing
IN its reality.

Advices from Washington and New

reports go further--they involve an
agreement between Colonel Roosevelt

the selection of Root should the
Colonefs nomination be inadvisable

Always keeping in mind the advent
