Christianity. There was much severe fight
Ing Tho natives, as q rule, accepted Chris
tianity only by force. Finally, in 1898. the
conquest was completed, and the island from
that time on has been peaceful.
1.-THE Spanish continued in possession Of
the island, governing it as a province Of New
Spain (Mexico) or the Philippines with in
different success until June 81, 1893, when it
was seized by the United States.
."The island Of Guam is now governed by
an officer Of the United States navy as Gov
ernor and military commander and is garri-
soned by the United States Marine Corps.
"Ihe natives of Guam are called Cha
morros and are of Malay origin. They are
docile. have great respect for authority, are
very hospitable and love to own land. The
Chamorro is generally taller and more ath-
letic than the Tagalog (for instance) and OF
lighter color.
"The language spoken by the natives is
called Chamorro (ancient word for 'Chief)
and is of the Malayan family, which includes
the languages spoken by natives of Malay
sia, portions of Cambodia, the Pacific ISL
ands from Formosa and Hawaii to New Zea-
land and Easter Island, and Madagascar. The
position Of the Chamorro language is inter-
mediate between the Philippine and Melane-
sian linguistic groups.
"Ihe chief products are livestock, copra,
| corn, rice, tobacco, sugar, sweet potatoes,
coffee, fish, breadfruit, yams, trepang, hard
woods principally ihl) and most tropical
fruits. Copra is the chief export. The eli
mate is tropical, but it is tempered at least
seven months of the year December to June,
inclusive, the dry season. by brisk trade

"The island is visited at intervals by de-
| structive typhoons which cause much loss of
property and occasionally loss of life. The
three most disastrous ones in recent years
occurred in 1871, 1900 and 1913. The second
OF these caused the loss of the U. S. S. Yo-
semitic and the death of five American blue
| Jackets. Iyphoons are most frequent dur
ing the months of October and November, al
though they may occur at any time of the
year.
Seismic movements very frequent in
the island, but destructive earthquakes are
comparatively rare. Available data show
that there have been ten destructive earth
quakes since ITO.
"The law is enforced by United States
marines detailed on the nsular patrol force.
"The population is about $4,000. There are
"ln 1917, under the administration of Gov
ernor Roy c. Smith, many progressive feat
ures Of government were inaugurated, among
which are government control of price of
market foodstuffs, compulsory military train

"Venereal disease is the greatest cause for

these diseases when they arrived at the camp.
|. is probably true that venereal diseases
cause the greatest amount of sickness in our
country. We must face this squarely and
bend our energies toward their eradication.
Since we know the cause of these diseases and
their mode of transmission, we shall event
ully be able to prevent them. Heart disease

Plies to defects of hearing and defects of
vision, which are third and fourth on the list
Flat feet is fifth on the list but it should
probably stand higher, as many with this de-
'ect IN moderate degree are passed into the
service. Most of them are later discharged
because the condition of their feet precludes
their doing their full duty. Contrary to the
general opinion the colored men seem to have
this deformity in less degree than the whites
defective teeth stands twelfth on the list,
but should occupy much higher place
. 1t we classed here all who have cavities in
their teeth. To pass the examining officer
1t is only necessary for candidate to have
TWO opposing molars on each side, and b-
cuspIds are counted as molars. My personal
observation has been that very few men have
perfect teeth. These facts should increase
our efforts toward securing adequate dental
treatment for school children. tuberculosis
Is sixteenth on the list, but it is probable that
many who had that disease were rejected by
the recruiting parties because of poor ply
slque or underweight and were never ex-
amined."
HOWEVER, as DR.. Brewer points out,
IL the entries in the table just given
are In general terms and represent con-
altons that obtain during peace, when a
poorer class of men apply for enlistment
man during war. Table 2, therefore, is
probably more enlightening regarding

while there are increasing signs of
the war WEAKNESS of the enemy and of
the desire of Austria, in particular, for
peace, there is real peril in a nation
so unready for war as the United
States in banking upon an early peace.
1t is said that soldiers in our camps
are infected with the idea that they
will never be sent 20 France. Fighters
are not produced in such fashion. An
army should be on it's toes awaiting
the order to so to the front. The
United States cannot use its wealth
more wisely than in building new can
comments, in the training of new and
larger drafts, in the rushing and en-
largmcnt Of the ship building program,
in agricultural expansion TO meet war
needs and the manufacture of guns
| and shells on an unprecedented scale.
| Peace talk rubs down the nations

will hasten peace and give the United
States more influential voice in de-
, termining it's conditions.

CONCERNING CRITICISM.

| Much has been said and writ
ten in these recent months Of the
bounds and limits to be placed
by the government upon the peo-
pie under its control in respect Of
criticism of its methods. Strong
feeling, even righteous wrath, has
been aroused almost universally
against certain classes of agita-
tors, against some kinds of paci-
fists, against pro-Germans, or
'anti-Americans.
But because the general opin-
ion of the nation is rightly against
that form of criticism which
would hinder the nation in its
supreme task of winning the war,
because all right-minded Ameri-
cans oppose the activity of Ger
man propaganda in this country,
is no reason why all criticism
should be placed under the ban.
And it should not be. Louis
Marshall, in a recent article in
the New York Times, calls atten-
ton to the necessity for a rather
wide scope to critical comment on
governmental operation during
these war days. Mr.. Marshall is
one of the leading constitutional
lawyers of America.
! He calls specific attention to the
necessity for careful considera-
ton of war legislation before its
passage, and the necessity for
thorough debate of such prospec-
tive enactments.
$40 discourage debate" he de-
clares, "would be disastrous. 1t
tends to bring out the various
phases of every proposition. Men
who have learned from their own
experience are in duty bound to
point out the dangers and diff
culties which may underlie a
specific proposition. That will
enable those who must decide, to
proceed with full knowledge and
understanding"
Mr.. Marshall carefully distin-
cuisines between the bitter and
carping critic and the criticism OF
the men of reasonable minds who
approach the subject patriotical-
ly, who have the welfare of the
country at heart"
Mr.. Marshall's conclusion is
that the criticism of this latter
class is an indication of patriotic
interest among the American PEG,
pie and guarantee against beau,
reaucratic absolutism.

prevent the populace of the
metropolis from freezing to death.
| The situation has caused much
talk relative to the possibility Of
substitution in fuel. And chief
among the suggested substitutes
lis peat, which may almost be
called the national fuel Of Ire
land. A writer in the Boston
Transcript suggests its use for re-
lief Of New England and he gives
some Of the best of reasons why
it should be adopted. If it would
work in New England, there is no
reason why it should not work in
Montana.
Because of its bulk, peat has
been the subject of considerable
experimentation in an attempt to
reduce it's quantity without hav-
[ ing a weakening effect on its
heat producing qualities. These
experiments have met with sue
cess, this writer says, so that peat
now is "smokeless, forms no ash
Of consequence, makes no clink-
ers whatever or cinders, is en-
tirely consumed in the fire box,
none dropping into the ashpit,
makes no SCOT, does not corrode
the crate bar, fire boxes or boil
ers, because Of its freedom from
sulphur, does not clog up the
flues with any form of deposit,
and is the most easily handled OF
all fuels"
If this fuel, SO improved, can
be used in accordance with the
ideas of this writer, it is a Won
der that it was not taken up long
ago, without the necessity Of a
shortage to call attention To it.
