MANILA, March IS, (P0-A new ieprosorium is being built on the island of Cebu which some scien- lists believe will lead to a victory over leprosv, one of mankinds old est and most dreaded afflictions.
 Philippine leprologists are cer- tain that the new hospital will re- suit in important discoveries about the disease. The problem of con- tagion that is why the disease in- fects one person and misses others i1as never been explained.
 The Cebu leprosorium was made possible thru the generosity of an Ameritan philanthropist, Eversly Childs of New York city. He con- tributcd $186,o0o toward the Leon erd Wood Memorial for the Erao- leation of Leprosy, but stipulated for the construction of hospital at Cebu.

THE TAKU RIVER MINE DEAL.

The announcement that the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company will take over and develop the Taku River mining property recently discovered py M " Manville representing himself and others, including | Coldsten Charles Goldstein, Dr. Robert Simpson, A. Hendrickson, Minard Mill Mrs l. Gold stein and Miss Marie Godstein, is marked addition to the indications that greater progress is in store for this section of Alaska. Previous reports show that great body of rich ore had been uncovered by these local people who have sold controlling interest in their properties to Juneaus big mining company.
 The deal is all the more interesting because it follows similar deal consummated sometime ago when w A. Eaton and D. J. Williams turned over to a group of California capitalists promising Taku properties which they had been prospecting and which are now under development. It need cause no surprise if more should be heard as time goes on about mineral discoveries and development in the Taku River country
 The situation is one where not only those di- rectly concerned in the deals entitled to con- gatulatons but where all the people of this section might well facilitate themselves. The indications are that new mining district with large payrols and profitable operations is on the of being brought into existence.
 It is a matter for congratulation also that the property will pass into the hands of the Alaska Juneau with it's fine organization and local interest It is probable that a more capable mining organi- zation does not exist than that of which F. w. Bradley is at the head and it is enterprising and vigorous It not only operates properties in Alaska and Yukon but it is actively and successfully en- gagged in several States and Canadian Provinces. Its Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine in Idaho is one of the greatest of the worlds mines but in nothing has the organization better demonstrated its eff- ciency and persistence than in the development of the Alaska Juneau at this City-also one of the worlds largest gold mines-into profitable prop erty
 May the Taku River District develop faster and richer than the most optimistic of those interested have dared to dream. It will be of vast benefit lumbia.

TROUBLE IN THE FAR EAST.

The indications are plentiful that the Chinese and Russian affairs in Marchuria and along the Siberian border will constitute source of friction many years In addition to border troubles such as have vexed nations for ages Russia is active in trying to advance the communistic theories of the Soviet and China is determined to keep the pro- paganda out. It would not be surprising if there would be real fighting before the end of the present crisis
 Of course Japan's attitude in the premises pre- sents interesting potentiates Japan is vitay con- cerned with everything that pertains to Far East development She is particularly interested in the maintenance of peace, but even more in settlements that might count for safety in the final adjust ments Japan and China more likely to act with reference to the more or less remote future than Russia for their statesmen far seeing and building for coming generations They certainly would not consent to the Europeanization of Manchuria Mongolia without a struggle. Japans course al Port Arthur and in Korea and Manchura a gen. eration ago is token of what we might expect again if the Soviet attempts to extend it's influence southward.

THE SHIPS MEDICINE CHEST AND
 FIRST AID AT SEA.

The medical handbook for merchant seamen, first issued in 1881, has been amplfied and reprinted, dedicated to the American merchant seamen, "at whose behest the marine hospitals were first estab lished in the year 1798, and whose history a patient of the Public Health Service is record of the progress of medicine and sanitation in the United States"
 Surgeon General H. s. Cumming believes that the book will be more useful than hereto fore because recently ships officers as condition to obtain their licenses have been required to know medical first-aid principles. The growing custom of ships at to radio for medical advice from marine hospitals and other relief stations of the Public Health Service has also made it necessary to standardize medical equipment. This matter is covered in the handbook, together with valuable advice useful in such emergencies as poisoning bleeding suffocation, fractures, disocatons, burns electric shock fits wounds, etc, which not infre- quently occur on the 10000 merchant vessels reg

The American Boy.

 The founder of the American Farm Journal says TO the American boy there is an awful majestic difference in weight between the butt end of fish pole and hoe handle"
 Perhaps this still may be true of some boys of today but 1t may be believed that it is not true or mighty mass of the youngsters of America Boys of the naton along with everything else have changed since pioneer times and the earlier exper- fences of the national life. It is quite true that youth still exults in the opportunity to play still reVels Ill agreeable relaxation, but the youth of the present IS a more determined, a more purposeful youth than was true of the boys of other distant days They now early find ever new and ever widening fields in which young energy my be ex pended Nor is the boy of today afraid of work or reluctant to do 1.-the normal boy who has been properly cultured. He finds a very real ioy in com blnlng work with pleasure.

Russia and China.
Manchester Guardian )

The report of a Soviet invasion of Mongolia as a reply to the action taken by the Chinese against Russian agents in Manchuria is stoutly denied by Moscow, but the situation remains serious. The evident intention of the Nationalist Government to tolerate no Russian interference in Chinese internal affairs their hostility to Russian retention of any privileges in Manchuria, and their designs against the independent Soviet State of Outer Mongolia all point to clash some time in the future if Russia feels strong enough to resist At present she does not. With the peasants dsaffected and in Siberia practically all in rebellion with the Central Asian States threatened with civil war, and relations with the new Asiatic republics not too friendly, she can hardly view with equanimity the prospects of hos tiiity in region so far from her European bases and already the scene of disastrous reverses-which probably accounts for the fact that China has ven- tured on actions which in normal times would have meant if not war at least real danger of it.

Prompt Action on the Young Plan.
(New York World.)

(NeW YOrK WOrlQD
 The Foreign Ministers of Germany and France, pr. Stresemann and M Briand in accord on the need of the prompt acceptance of the Young plan by all the governments concerned. There are many important matters pending, such the evacuation of the Rheinland and the ratification of the French debts, which cannot be effectively dealt with until the Young plan is adopted as a basis for their sediment. In order to avoid com plications it is especially desirable that France should ratify her debt agreement with the United States before August when her post-armstice debt of $400,000000 becomes due. It is equally desirable that the Young plan should be ready to go into operation September l, when the fifth year of the Dawes plan expires.
 To provide for these contingencies, the ratifica- tion of the Young plan should become an accom- plished fact within the next six seven weeks There is opposition to the plan in both France and Germany and it from the extremists among both the Natonasts and the Radicals. These groups not accustomed to working together but if ratification should be unduly delayed they might effect combination which would prove trouble some There is nothing to be gained and much might be lost by tardy action.

Preserving Rural England.
(New York Times.)

The Royal Society of Arts lately issued an ap- peal by MT. Baldwin to preserve what is most characteristic of Englands countryside "the cottage homes which for century upon century have shelt- cred her sturdy of tol" Many of these rustic houses are falling into runs others patched with corrugated iron and the place of still others has been taken by "gimcrack bungalows"
 Among the cottages to be saved are Button snap" in Hertfordshire, once occupied by Charles Lamb; the three Thomas Beckett cottages at West Taarring and group in Bibury, Gloucester shire which William Morris described as "the oveliest village in England" It is proposed to &C., quire control of West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, because it is typical of old English country life
