Prosperous Cuba.

Having settled her late unpleasantness, Cuba

million dollars in the year 1856 For the latter
twelve months Cuban exports amounted to almost
three hundred and two million dollars and imports
TO almost one hundred and seventy-two million

we think of Cuba's being only seven hundred and
sixty miles long and twenty miles wide, with
population of scarcely more than two and a half

Mr.. Gerard'S Splendid Service.

from Key West to Washington expressed truly
tional sentiment Mr.. Gerard has served the United
States we'll and worthiy in duties which were pc
culisrly difficult and. in their final stages pecu-
lisrly dangerous. The tasks upon the American
embassy at Berlin during the past two and half
years were arduous beyond precedent. To our am
bassador and his stan entrusted the interests
not only OF this Government but of most of the En-
tente nations as we'll Nothing less than the prodi
gious energy and talent for organization with which
the highest type OF American is gifted could have
shoudered the burdens and met the emergencies
with which those stressful years were flied. The
whole story of Mr.. Gerard's last week in Germany
is vet to be told. Enough is already known. how
ever to indicate the critical OF his situation
and the firm, quiet courage with which he met it.
That he brings the President information and coun

Both for military and political significance the
British capture of Bagdad is of the outstand-
ing events of the war The Turks have suffered
blow more weakening and much unnerving
than was the fall of Erzerum year ago. Their
chief city in Mesopotamia, Bagdad stood in their
eyes second only to Constantinople-no as
stronghold of arms but as a key-point to traffic and
particularly a talisman of imperial strength.
They find great part of their Asiatic realm in
the enemy's grasp or sharply imperiled The Arab
trbesmen have pressed a revolt to the point of
capturing Mecca and setting up kingdom defiant
of the Sultans rule. The Russians have advanced
along the Turkish coast of the Black Sea far
west as Trebizond, if not farther, and also have
pressed a considerable distance southwark from
Erzerum More important, Russian columns are
moving towards Mesopotamia from Persia If these
effect timely junction with the British along the
Tigris somewhere above Bagdad, there will be little
chance of the Turks escaping decisive if not alto
gether disastrous defeat
The major effects of the fall of Bagdad, how
ever, the restoration of British prestige in the
Mohammedan world and the east at large, and the
SCATTERING of Germanys cherished dream of an orr
entail empire. That there sore need of reviving
British prestige in the East after the heavy msad-
ventures of Gallipoli and Kut-el-Amars, doubt
less painfully evident to the British Govern
ment than to the outside world. The retrieving
stroke has been dealt most opporunely just at the
time when the war seems to be approaching its de-
cisve stage. The cheering effect the Allies can
hardly be more pronounced than the depressing
effect the Teuton Powers. Hopes of consum-
mating the Berlin Bagdad railroad and visions of
gorgeous riches and power in the East have done
much to sustain German spirits through the long
bitter months of the war. The crumbng of that
golden cloud castle can but deepen the gray twi-
light that is gathering on the Central Empires

of life that bring serious illness us, neverthe
less are sure to suffer in some degree from our
ignorance of the principle of physiology.
II not in health We suffer at least in our eff
cheney. Instinct alone particularly in these days
of industrial completely and intensity, will not suf-
flee to teach how to do work to greatest
advantage.
We need to famlisrize ourselves with the rela-
tions between internal physical conditions and
working power. We need to know how to influence
these conditions that they in turn will influence
us in increasing productiveness.
To some of us knowledge of so slight matter
fatigue may make all the difference between sue
cess and failure in work. So, too, knowledge
of the effects of deep breathing mental power
will prove invaluable to others
And, fortunately, there are plenty of books
available to give the physiological knowledge
ought to have.
Many such books it is true. though most
thoritatve are too technical to be of general serv
ice But there are many others written in simpler
language. Especially during the past few years,
able writer's have been putting in book form the
established facts in physiology and its related sub
ject personal hygiene.
Recently l have drawn up little list of the
most practically helpful of these books. If you
