While excessive thinness might be at

says: S that the amount of phos-

of man is seriously underestimated in many
of our standard text books"
It seems to be well established that this
deficiency In phosphorous may now be met
by the use of an organic phosphate known
throughout English speaking countries an
Bitro- Phosphate. Through the assimilation
OF this phosphate by the nerve tissue the
phosphoric content when absorbed in the
amount normally required by nature soon
produces welcome change in our body and

On January 80, 1S41, treaty was

In 1881 appeared an Egyptian coli

was openly encouraged by the Turk

Arab had fiouted the authority Of the
Khedive and, becoming minister Of

armed revolt which swept the coun-

He withdrew the budgets from the
French and British financial advisers

some of the forts into British hands

FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
Wv II IRVING KING
TREATY OF coNsTANTlNoPLE, 1s4l
When the Present Egypt Was Evolved.
BY H. IRVING KING

The British possession of Egypt is
something into which England Just
naturally drifted." The force of cir
cumstances was stronger than treaties
and diplomacy, and after the occupa-
ton of the country subsequent to the
Arab Bey incident In 1882, England
found herself in the position of the
man who held the bear by both paws
around tree-it was more dangerous
to let go than to hold on. Yet up to
the recent proclamation of a British
protectorate over the land of the Nile
and the setting up of a sultan indie
pendent of Turkey following the sid
ing of the Khedive abbas with the
Germans, Egypt remained part of
the Turkish empire, vassal state
paying an annual tribute of 100000
and governed nominally by heredi-
tary vassal prince. It was governed
under the treaty of 1874, which the
powers forced upon the sublime porte
and its victorious rebel governor of
Egypt, Mehemet Ali. BY this treaty
the western powers obtained their first
foothold in the land of the Pharaohs.
Mehemet Ali was Turkish officer
who first went to Egypt in 1899 as
commander of the forces. He did so
well in restoring order there that in
1905 the sultan appointed him gov
ernor. But Ali found his government
constantly threatened by the famous
MamelukeS, cavalry corps of the
Egyptian army consisting of the de-
scendants of those Mingrelian, Turk
ish and other slaves sold by Genhiz
Khan to the Egyptian sultan in the
thirteenth century who, uniting in re-
volt in 1851, made themselves masters
of the country. The Turkish govern
ment overthrow the Mameluke govern
ment in 1917 and Egypt became
Turkish province. But the military
caste of the Mamelukes was continued
as a portion Of the Egyptian army
until Ais time.
Massacre of the Mameukes
In 1911, seeing that it was ques
ton of survival between the Name
lukes and himself, Ali settled the mat
ter by a massacre of the Name
lukes. The citadel of Cairo was the
scene of the principal slaughter; the
Mamelukes were annihilated. Now
absolute master of Egypt, Mehemet
Ali threw off his Turkish allegiance
and conquered Syria in 1872. In
1889 he defeated the Turks in so many
engagements that it seemed as if his
banners were certain to wave in the
mosque of ST. Sophia. The powers
took alarm. That old idea which for
SO many centuries has prevented the
Turk from being driven out of Eu-
rope-the idea that the status quo at
Constantinople must not be disturbed,
lest the Turk being out of CONSTANT
nople, a general war should ensue for

TREATY OF sHIMoN0SEKI, 1895
New Power Arises in the Japan Declares War on CHI

to Interfere except as friendly heu-
trial." and would join no other nation,
even in that interference.
On July 81 Japan declared war hpon
the Celestial empire. The military
and naval supremacy of Japan at once
became startlingly apparent. A Jap
anese army swept through Korea, and
advancing down the Liaotung PENN
sula, took Port Arthur. The Chinese
were driven out of southern Man
churia. The Japanese feet destroyed
the Chinese fleet and captured Wei
hai-wei. At the beginning of the war
the Chinese emperor had commanded
his generals go drive me these pig
mics into the sea-" but now aIJap-
anese army was ready to advance on
Peking. Everywhere China was inter-
ly defeated.
Negotiated Four Weeks.
China thereupon authorized the
American minister at Pekin to trans
init direct to Japan q proposal for
peace. Japan agreed to receive Ii
Hung Chang as peace commissioner
He landed at Shimonoseki on March
10, 1895, where he was met by the
Marquis Ito, and after four weeks of
negotiation the treaty was signed on
April II. The complete independence
of Korea was recognized; the Lao
tung peninsula, Formosa and the Pes
cadores islands were ceded to Japan.
and China agreed to gay war in
demnity of two hundred million taels.
open four new ports and grant spe-
cial trade privilege to the victors.
Korea had been occupied and organ
lied by Japan during the war and
though its complete independence had
been guaranteed by the treaty, Jap
anese influence was now supreme
there.
England was disturbed, Germany
displeased and Russia angry and
alarmed at the treaty of Shimonoseki.
A great power had suddenly appeared
to threaten Russian possessions and
block her aspiration on the Pacific
coast. The car threateningly de-
manded the retrocession to China Of
the Liaotung peninsula. Germany
and France backed up the demand of
Russia. Had Russia been alone to be
considered, Japan might have thrown
down the gauntlet then as she did
later. But in the face of threats
from three powers, she dared not re-
fuse, and gave up the best fruits of
the war-which Russia stepped in and
grabbed for herself.

The western nations woke up to the
fact that a great power had appeared
in the East when in 1894 Japan de-
clared war on the vast empire Of
China and speedily brought 1t to its
knees. The realization that naval
and military power Of the first class
had come into being on the western
shores of the Pacific was not pleas
ant one and caused a great fluttering
among the "chancelleries" of Europe
Ond was not viewed without concern
in the United States.
1t was because of her war with
China and her subsequent war with
Russia that Japan occupies the posi-
ton she does today among the nations.
The treaty of Shimonoseh and the
treaty of Portsmouth placed her
among the leading nations of the
world. The war between China and
Japan arose over the affairs of Korea.
In the olden days Korea had paid
tribute to Japan and after the abOli-
ton of the Shogunate in 1868 and the
coming of the Mikado into his own,
repeated demands were made upon
the Koreans for a continuation Of this
tribute. Chinese and Japanese in
trigued at the Korean court for the
predominating influence in the land of
the morning calm and transformed 1t
into land which knew no calm.
ta~nn AIIauaI In&rarfInn
In June of 1894 a Chinese army was
sent into Korea for the ostensible pur-
pose of putting down rebellion which
threatened the Korean king. Japan
declared this to be an infraetion of
the treaty between herself and China
made in 1885, and dispatched Japan
csc army which occupied the Korean
capital and its port of Chemulpo, and
fortified the route connecting the two
cities. Somehow the rebellion disap-
reared, but the king of Korea found
Chinese army and a japanese fac
ing each other in hostile guise upon
his territory and asked them to with
draw.-which they refused to do. The
king appealed to the United States.
Mr.. Gresham, secretary of state, ask
ed China and Japan please to get out
of Korea. China said she was per-
fectly willing to get out If Japan
would. Japan said she would not get
out until Korea had reformed her in
ternal affairs.
1t was evident that Japan meant
war, and on July s, 1894, England
proposed that the United States join
with her in an intervention to prevent
the war; The United States refused
