On): )) 1 -Li HOWE FAVORS LARGE NAVY Beat Way In Which to Maintain rrace, lie Says, at Manchester Banquet. m Major Church Howe, a former Ncbraskan, but now American consul to Manchester, England, at a recent, peace meeting in that English city, where the amity of nations waa discussed, defended tha' building of warahlps and advised Brother Jonathan in times of peace to be prepared for war, and not to disband hla armies almply because a few weak-hearted men say, with General Sherman, that "war is hell." The Man cheater papers speak highly of Major Howe and his address, the Manchester Dally Dis patch characterising him as acting the part of a candid friend at the meeting of the peace and arbitration league. "I believe With President Roosevelt and the. king, two gteat peacemakers, that aa thlnga are arranged today and until we can understand all other nations, tha way to Insure peace Is to be prepared for war," the Dispatch quotes the major as saying. "I care nothing for taxation, I care not how many ships you may build so long as you must have themso long as it pro vents my brothers and friends from being taken to tRe battlefield and slaughtered." The Manchester Courier has the following to say of the American consul's part In the meeting: j "The American consul. Major Church Howe, sneaking as a soldier who had seen active aervlce, aald that only the previous evening he was a guest of the Chamber of Commerce of Sheffield, with General French, who outlined the policy of reor ganisation and pleaded with the young men to come forward to forward the scheme. While he waa an advocate of peace, he thought they should be prepared for war. As things were .arranged today and until they could have an understanding with various nations, the only way for peace was to be prepared for war. Neither England or America were going to burn up tbelr ships because a few people met there and said, with General Shenman, 'war la hell. He, however, admitted that the or ganization was doing a great and noble work." Other speakera, men of local English fame, denounced war and spoke strongly In favor of a strict . peace program at all times. Lord Weardale, the leading speaker, aaylng that "In the future It would be the democracies of the world who would see that the peace was not broken, and law and Justice would regulate the affairs of nations as they did at present of Individu als." The "Dreadnaught" policy was cen sured and the limitation of armaments was favored. Major Hdwe, therefore, stood prao tlcally alone on the other side In advocat ing the keeping of armaments up to a high standard and to at all times be In a posi tion to meet a possible breach with a for eign power. .From the English press it Is gleaned that the American had the crowd with him, nevertheleas. and he was highly com- mended. Major How seems to have won the con fidence of the English cousins across tho water and from press reports It seems that no function is complete without him.

NEWS OF THE ARMY POSTS Annual Target Practice for Troops Will Be Held at Fort llller. aSBBanaaasnsB FORT RILEY, Kan., March 14. (Special.) It has practically been arranged that the troopa from Fort Leavenworth and Fort Des Moines shall come to this post for their annual target practice thla year. The ar rangement of the schedule so that It will not Interfere with the troopa at this post has not been entirely accomplished, but tt Is already known that tae Thirteenth In fantry from Fort Leavenworth will leave that post March 20 and by marching arrive at this post in time to begin practice on April J. This practice will oorupy five weeks. Just what time the engineer battalion and the four troopa of cavalry will come has not yet been decided. It la'understood, how ever, that these troops will remain In camp to participate In the maneuvers. It has not yet been decided whether the eight com panies of the Ninth Infantry will have their target practice before or after the practice of this garrison. In case the former, they will arrive about the middle of June and ocupy the ranges until the latter part of July. In cane they wait until after our troops have finished, they will arrive about tho Hast of July and remain In camp until the latter part of August, In time to en gage In the maneuvers on September L In either vase, they will remain for the maneu vers. This means that about 2,000 troops In ad dition to the regular garrison will be sta tioned on the reservation for several months and until after the fall maneuvers. The troops from Fort Des Moines will probably march but one way. As April weather Is more than often Inclement, long shelter sheds will be built at the firing points of both ranges. lUds hav already been 'ad vertised for for them and the work will commence within the nest week or ten days. Acting First Sergeant Jerome M. Howard of Troop C, Saventh cavalry, was thrown from his horse while riding In Junction City, Kan., four miles from the post, Sun day afternoon, and sustained Injuries from which he died at the post hospital a few hours later. Howard and Trumpeter Raf ferty of the same troop were on mounted pass and while riding past the high school grounds the former's horse commenced to pitch with him and ran under the limb of a large tree. The aoldier hit th limb with such force that. It wrapped him around the limb, caving In hla chest, breaking five ribs. His head struclt the trunk of the tree crushing the skull, causing a clot of blood on the brain, from which he died. This was at S o'clock in tha afternoon and he was taken to a nearby house and the city phynlcibn summoned,1 who examined his Injuries. Howard waa taken to the hos pital, where he died a few minutes after arrival. He never came out of his stupor. Ilia people were Immediately wired of his death and .the poat authoritlus wesa re quested to hav the body expressed to his home In Cairo, III. The member of his troop made up a fund of $176 for flowers and other expenses and the body was sent home Wednesday morning, MarcliJl. Serg eant Howard was a very popular young man In the post and his death was a great shock to the officers, who knew him as well as the enlisted men. He was on his first enlistment and would hav been dis charged May 12 of this year. A detachment of 117 recruit for the Sixth field art.llery arrived at the post Tuesday afternoon from Jefferson barracks. This leaves a vacancy of 154 men In the artillery. To fill the Seventh cavalry 215 men are needed at present and fifty-nine more will be discharged the 15th of this month. It Is not expected that over half a dosen of the latter will re-enlist for this post, al though quit a number of them have stated that they would take on for other posts. Captain Dallam will pay the command Sat urday the 14th and lay over and cash the final statements of these men on Sunday. t'sptsln M. J. McDonoush of the engi neer corps and hia detachment of alxteen men arrived at the post Saturday after noon.

MEMBERS BECOME DEMORALIZED Reaort to Robbery aaal Terrorism to Fill Tbalr Own Pockets. Abase of Powers le Frequent. WARSAW, March 14.-Speclal.)-Not for some time has anything occurred which has afforded so much satisfaction to the Rus sian bureaucrats as the breakup of the revolutionist section of the Polish socialist party. They are still chuckling; and rub bing their hands gleefully over It. It Is said that when the news reached the crar, who seldom smiles these days, he actually laughed for joy. Some meager details of the dissolution of this militant organisation of socialists may have reached you by telegraph and ealile, but as news the matter Is deserving of a more, extended report. That as an organisation It has ceased to exist admits of no Joubt. Its disbandment has been an nounced In a circular Issued at Lods, the headquarters of Polish socialism, by Its responsible heads. That once powerful party, before which, one short year ago, Russian odlclals trembled, and to which Polish citizens turned for protection, has dissolved Itself. The manifesto is not without a certain pathos. "We have still," it says, "an in come of 1,800 roubles per month, and we still possess some 8,000 members, but those who have been given arms for the cause of liberty use them for banditlsm and horrible acts of terrorism. We there fore dissolve this party, as It has ceased to aim at the purpose for which It was created." Discipline Waa Lacking. Thla Is only too true. The revolutionists. having shown great courage, wide re sources and a certain amount of talent for creanliatlon. failed utterly to preserve discipline among the Vank and file. The loaders Imported revolvers from Germany; they showed their followers how to use them .and showed thera to such good pur pose that, whenever a man was aimed at it was almost a dead certainty that ha would be killed. But they omitted one pre cept; they forgot to teach these warrlora when not to shoot. They forgot to teacn them when not to take money, and the consequence was that 90 per cent of them raided, banks and slops and trains, not for the sacred cause of freedom, but for the sordid benefit of their own pockets. And this was not all; the rank and file had their examples from soma of the le aders themselves, who, whilst pretending to work for ineir panj acnemeu mu in trigued to get money from nervous cltl- sens, who blessed them for the beat polios in Russia, and paid dearly for the honor of the benediction. Here is an example: A rich householder In Warsaw, named Zlelinskl, evicted a ten ant, a restaurant keeper, for not paying hla rent. The restaurant keeper called In the rabble, who ruined the premises, got drunk on half the liquor, flooded the cellar with the remainder and declared that they would kill Zlelinskl If he did not find the restaurant-keeper 1,000 roubles to start e.fresh. Hero Provea m Prssd. Zlelinskl went to tha police, who refused to help him. Then the waiters came to him demanding that he should make good the deposits they bad placed with the res taurant keeper. Thla amounted to another thousand roubles. Zlelinskl wss In despair when a stranger presented himself to him saying, "My name is Hero. I belong to the committee of the Pullsh party of socialists. These waiters must have something ss they are destitute, but they want too much. I.et pit set as your Intermediary and I will settle the sum to be paid." Zlelinskl thanked Hero and accepted hla offer. In a few daya he had got rid of tha restaurant keeper's molestations and satis fied the waiters by giving them one-fourth of the sum they had originally demanded. All this thanka to Hero, who. In the name of hla party, arranged the details. When everything wss done" and Zlelinskl, with the generosity of a roan who feels safe for the first time for weeks, offered to reward Hero, the latter refused. "I dare take nothing for myself," he said, "but any offering to the party will .be gratefully accepted." Zlelinskl offered some S00 roubles to the party (for which Hero gave him one of the party's receipts) and spent the next few days In singing the pralsea of Hero and the magnificent organisation to which he belonged. But at the end of these few daya he got another visit, this time from three strangers, who refused to give their namea, but who looked myateriou aand 111 kempt enough forx bona-flde revo lu tlonarles.

"Here are your 800 roubles," one said, when he had fislshrd. "We give them back for the party's honor. Hero, who was one of ourbest men, has proved to be a fraud. He spent the 300 roubles you gave him aa well aa what you handed over for the waiters In champagne suppers. We found this out through one of the waiters, who plucked up courage to come and tell us. He had threatened to shoot any who dared apply to.you for the money and the terror of our name made them obey. Ws had Hero shot this morning. Ho has con fessed all." Men like Hero have brought the party to ruin. There have been too many of them. Bo long as the better cluses of lead ers had power enough such traitors were shot, but this kind of demoralisation spreads like wildfire In an organization of the sort, and soon the traltcrs outnumber the faithful. This Is why the Polish revo lutionaries have signed their own dissolu tion. Nevertheless.as day follows night, another organisation will surely rise on Its ruins, or Poland would not be Poland. FRESH AIR FOR PNEUMONIA Satisfactory Reaalte of Experimental Treatment In Neir York Hospital. Open-air treatment of victims of fneu--monla on a large scale Is one of the in novations carried on In the Presbyterian hospital In New York City. On the roof of the building, on iron bedsteads, a score of patients, their pallid faces up turned to the winter sky, lay here and there, their breath frosted by the keen wind, and the falling light of the bleak winter day giving an aspect of utter dreari ness to the wind-swept space. To the common mind pneumonia Is ss soclated with warm rooma protected from every draught, with efforta to keep the temperature equable and to shield the pa tient from any Inrush of cold air. Yet here were pneumonia patients, many of tepdor years, exposed to every wintry blast that blew; no roof overhead, only an awning that could be slid over rods in case of rain or sleet or snow. U seemed barbaric. The doctor said that it was only revolutionary. Ha is Dr. Wllllsm P. Northrup of the visiting staff of the Presbyterian hospital, and it was due to his strong faith in this radical idea, and to his Insistence In the virtues of the open-air treatment for all suffering from pneumonia and acute infec tious diseases. uch as typhoid, scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc., that thla open-sir ward was established on the roof of the hospital. "In one sense it Is an experiment," Dr. Northrup said, "and in another It is not. I have employed the treatment In private practice and have been more than satisfied with the result. It Is an experiment only In the sense that this Is the first time that It Is being tried out In a hospital and 'on a large scale. It was only at the beginning of this winter that the ward wss made ready for the reception of pneumonia patlenta. That Is the only type of disease that we are treating In It now. 'The result has been satisfactory. It has been conclusively shown that no harm haa followed the sending of the patients directly into the open air, and conspicuous benefits have been noted. The patlenta are less nervous, their sleep Is better, and this eon serves thslr strength; they are able to take more nourishment, and ones past the crisis their rocovery is more rapid. "It Is not clalmod that the open-air treatment kills tha baoterla. It Is not even sure that It shortens tha period of the die- . ease. But it la sura tliat It enaDlea uie patient to bear up against tha poison, helps him to throw It off, renders breathing less dirflcult. Induces restful slers liitiiraacs appetite, aids the assimilation of food In short, contributes In every way to hta bet terment and harms him In no way at all." It aounded very fine, yet on that un llghted roof and In the chill of the fast falling winter night one could not help mumbling about fevered patients and sick children sleeping out In the cold and dark. "The fear of fresh air," the doctor con tinued, "Is fast vanishing aa a superstition that had Its origin In ignorance. If there be a sufficiency of clothing and now and then ar foot-warmer for the very feeble, "trash air, however cold, can do no l.sfin. Is only a tonic and a food, a faithful life-giver. We are continually discovering how much help It gives us In caring for and curing all aorta of dlsesses.
