Their country probably will base
their answer upon the fact that they
are serving respectively the Interests
OF America and Germany. Ambas-
sador Riano indicated today that
Spain probably would publish by to-
morrow some Indication Of her posi-
tlon, hut he was doubtful this would
be a formal answer to President Will

neutrals.
Switzerland probably will take the

The likelihood Of Spanish ,i"ctlon

NEWS FLIES FAST IN CHINA
Most Wonderful Courier Service in the
World Takes the Place of the
Telegraph and Railroad.

Travellers who return from the re-
mote interior of vast countries where
telegraphs and railways are practically
unknown will tell you of the astonish-
ing swiftness with which news travels,
despite the seeming absence of IA
cilities.
Away in the wilds of the TbetaD
border or in the Monaghan deserts,
hundreds of miles from the nearest.
telegraph wire, the traveller will per-
chance hear of some momentous event
in the outside world within an incred-
IDLY short while of it's happening. This
rapid transmission of news is the work
of natives employed in courier services
of higher organization than we have
ever dreamed China, that spacious
land where distance is measured by
days, not miles, affords the best ex-
ample. For although the means OF
communication by rail and telegraph
have greatly developed there of late.
the bulk of the interior is still virgin
to these inventions of the foreign
devil and China still maintains what
has been from time immemorial the
most wonderful courier service in the
world
It is now mainly controlled by the
Chinese post Office, and the mileage Of
the courier lines has recently reached
the stupendous figure of 10000, o.
about 51a times the circumference OF
the globe. BY road, river and track,
raGiating from tho capital of Picking,
or cF,1ef itaporlanf eenters, couriers
zee speeding without ceasing, night
and day, to almost every CO ler Of the
100000 square miles of country which
form the Chinese empire. The cou-
riers are all stalwart men especially
chosen for their physique, powers of
endurance and knowledge of routes.
They work in relays, eat as they 81
along, and are supposed not to STOP
until they have handed the MAILBAG 20
the next relay. An average speed of
90 miles a day is often maintained.

Spanish Irishmen.

A recent writer draws attention to
the connection which has long existed
between Ireland and Spain. In the
days of the wild Geese" when Irish
men were carving out futures for them
selves as soldiers of fortune in many
lands, they went in large numbers to
Spain. Then again large numbers Of
Irish men and women, many of them
belonging to Well-known families, emf
grated to Spain in the early days of the
nineteenth century. All these immi-
grants were adopted by the country,
and they adopted it, intellectually
so intellectually, indeed, that, as
the writer already referred to pointed
out, hardly any of their present repre-
sentatives speak English, at any rate
as a native tongue" and they have
lost all touch with Irish life. They
have retained their names, however,
unaltered, and in the Spanish army
list are to be found many such names
as O'Connor, O'Neil, O'Donnell, Shaw,
and SO on.-Christian Science Mont

Value of MPush.U

One man with push is better than
an army of idlers. The mob lacks
ideals and direction without the man to
lead. It's the man of push that puts
life into tagging causes and makes
them regain lost prestige. It's the man
with push that advances new theory
and connpels the old wornout method
to give place. He's the man that's
open to criticism. All sorts Of dire
calamities hang over him. But still he's
the man that makes business and Incl
dentally makes the money that pays
the wages of those who criticize hinl.
The old business may have been known
for generations, but it must be continu-
ally revamped to meet changing condi-
tons. 1t takes a man of push and dare
to depart from the old lines and ven
ture into the new. 1t takes brains and
toll Only the man of push can do it

COLDS ARE COSTLY LUXURY
Can Usually Be Avoided by Following
Carefully Few Simple Rules,
1t Is Declared.

Common colds have been estimated
to cost the population of certain states
100000 year. Really, consider
ing the advanced prices of medicine
and the wages lost, only the well-to-do
can afford to catch cold, the New
Haven Times-Leader observes.
But in this matter the poorest can
become philanthropists. Whoever
manages to get through without his
annual sneezing or coughing spell is
comforting benefit on the whole COM
munity.
There are two ways of cutting the
high cost of colds for your own sake
and of proving yourself a public bene-
factor as well:
/. Avoid exposure to Infection when
a member of the family brings a germ
cold into the house, and if you catch
cold, sneeZe and cough behind your
handkerchief and avoid injecting 9TH
ers.
2. Drink two quarts of water a day !;
sleep with your bedroom windows
wide open-never mind the snow out
side-coyer up; sit, stand and walk
erect, and walk every day in the open
air; keep clean eat slowly and 6o not
eat too much. Holiday feasts are re
sponsible for many hard cold.
Build up your vitality and your
physical resistance and taking cold
will cease to be a part of your year.

FIJIISLANDERs
 FOR WAR SERVICE

Suva, Fiji, June 1.-The proposal made some time ago to send con- tingent of 100 Ffjians to the war has been adopted and the British govern ment has accepted the offer. They will be sent to Calais, France.
 For considerable time past Fiji Islanders have become conspicuous by their earnest and repeated attempts to enlist for active service. The final decision to send a contingent was not reached until the matter had been thoroughly debated, not only by of fictals in Fiji, but by experts attached to the Secretary of State for the Col onies' Department in London.
 The result of their deliberation was that the temperament of the native Fijians. coupled with the climatic conditions, made tkem quite unsuited for active service on the western front.
 Following this, the Hon. Henry Marks of Fiji proposed that possibly the natives might be suitable for transport duties, and offered to defray all expenses of a contingent of na- lives. The offer met with the approv- al of Fiji officials. and details were immediately sent to the Secretary of State for Colonies, who, after due con- sideration, accepted MT. Marks, of fer.

NEED IN FRANCE OF AID
 IN T.B. FIGHT 

Boulder, Colo, June 15.-France's need of assistance from America in her fight against tuberculosis in the French army, was set forth by Dr. livingston Farrand, president of the University of Colorado and director of the mission to be sent to France by the Rockefeller Foundation in statement be made here before leav- ing for his Journey to Paris. pr. Far rand was for ten years executive sec retary of the National Association for the study and Prevention of Tu- berculosis
 s"The French death rate from tu- berculosis is, roughly, twice that of America and three times that of Eng land,'' said Dr. Farrand. Normally, France has a high death rate and a low birth rate and with the increase in tuberculosis brought about by the war it is evident that something must be done and without delay.
 ''It is estimated. say the reports to the Rockefeller Foundation, that in the three years of the war 150,o00 soldiers have been discharged from the French army because of active tuberculosis. Nor Is this condition confined to the Army. Refugees

which are used for transporting workmen; he rather expected the cur tailment, would be applied more to trains used by shoppers. It will give the railroads more men, and will save the fuel consumed by the engines to be taken out of passenger service.
 Mir Endicott said heshad been told by an official of the Delaware 6 Hud- son road that that railroad could have furnished much more coal to the Bos- ton & Maine for New England con- sumption, but the Boston & Maine could not move it.
 E. W. Longley, also of the Public. Safety Committee, said the nation must wake up to the fact that it must for a long time to come dispense with luxuries and get along with bare ne- cessities. If train service reduction will place the railroads in a peter condition, either financially or other wise, it should be adopted without delay N
 Galen L. Stone, vice-president of the New England Coal Committee, proposed that the only way to deter mine the essential minimum number of trains is to reduce the number as much as seems reasonable. and then see how well the reduced number serves the public needs.
 Henry I. Hartman of the Boston Chamber of Commerce said the rail- roads are losing large numbers of men who are going to France in a railroad unit to do constructive work The Boston & Albany alone has lost hetween 100 and 1900.
 John s. Lawrence said the way to do things, especially in war times, is to do them first and then talk about 1t afterwards. If facilities are found to be inadequate the Public Service Commission has full power to order the addition of more trains on the schedules.
 William H. Day of the Lynn Cham Der of Commerce said flour which was started from St. Louis more than four months ago has not yet reached Lynn, showing that something is needed to improve freight service. George B. Rix of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce expressed similar views.
 Other speakers who favored a. re-

from the, occupied districts of North ern France are breaking down in large numbers and the French prison CTS returned from Germany indicate a high percentage in that group. Z Since the war began a special commission has been created to care for tuberculous soldiers. This work is of the greatest importance and must go on. It is doubtful, however, if at the end of this year there will be more than ten or twelve thousand beds available for tuberculous pa tients in the whole of France and these will be occupied almost exclu sively by soldiers.
 "A conservative estimate would in- dicate that there are 500,000 cases of tuberculosis in the country. It is ob- vious that whatever preventive meas ures can be laid down and followed out in the future, an immediate need is for hospital accommodations and there is no more pathetic appeal to which the wealthy people of America could respond"
 ''The extension of infectious dis menace to all So you see while we shall be fighting the battle against tuberculosis on the first line there in France. we shall really be fighting Americas battle as we'll
 ."The fundamental idea behind the Rockefeller Foundation in going into this work is not one of relief. it is a wish simply to cooperate to the extent of its power with France in working out a system for the pre- vention of tuberculosis and the deve1- opment of sound public health meas ures in general. We are going to France simply to place at her dispos- al, so far as we may say, such ex- perience as we have had in the Uni ted States
 Experience, pr. Farrand said, has shown that the great public problem is to prevent the extension of the dis ease to those not yet affected. ''In the development of the campaign" he added, increasing stress has came to be laid upon the dispensary and the visiting nurse because through those agencies we are able to reach the homes and carry information and education to the families which most
