Consternation hits been created

Mayor Mitchell's threat that he will
cull out the militia In case of a general
strike in New York sems to have been

.Many well informed and ~thoughful
people ale ol the opinion that the fin
ish of Ihe war will come from results
of the lighting in the Balkans. The
west front seems more or less of a
deadlock made possible by trench
lighting where very superior forces
are required to make a gain of only a
few yards. On the eastern front the
lighting is of a more open, wilder na
ture with larger sweeping movements
over wide areas. For instance two
days ago in Transylvania the Rou
manians and Russians were retreat
ing on a long front, then presto, they
are in the offensive drlvng the Aus
tin! ns before them.
UNIVERSAL SERVICE IN U. S.
To find out the views of the public
regarding universal military training
in the United States, the Spokane
Spokesman-Review began a referen
dum some little time ago. When the
ballots were counted the last of Aug
ust it was found to meet with popular
approval at the ratio of 7 to 1. Of
the 11,000 ballots cast 1,643 were by
women of whom 1,416 favored univer
sal service. This intersting result in
dicates that "femininism” is in on way
undermining the virility of American
patriotism.
The result of that discussion and
the referendum vote, the Spokesman
Reveiw believes, would be repeated
anywhere in the United States where
like discussion was had.
For opposition to the principle of
universal obligation cannot withstand
the overwhelming logic of it, the jus
tice of it, the efficiency of it, and its
apparent moral and physical benefits.
The American people tire thinking
on these matters now as they have
never thought before. They are noting
the lessons of the mobilization of the
national guard, and see the injustice
and inefficiencq of the volunteer sys
tem. On the other side they are not
ing the benefits of universal training
in such intensely democratic countries
as Switzerland, Australia, France and
Holland.
interest in this question will in
crease, for the country's military au
thorities and advocates of universal
training in the senate and the house
are preparing to carry on a campaign
of nation-wide agitation and education,
with a view to pressing constructive
legislation at the next session of con
gress.
A WELL BALANCED LIFE.
What profiteth a man that he gain
the whole world yet lose his health?
Naturalists say that long ago the
prehistoric waters were infested with
a species of enormous shark which
MBMWT MUBBta——=agg
finally became exttnct by reason of J
the workings of its voracious appetite, j
Thus Nature eliminates the over-fed. j
T'.e desire for ease of life and plen- j
tiftil diet is universal and is the great j
stimulus of man and animals alike.
When man becomes greedy and takes
more ease and food and drink than is
his share, Nature discards him.
Iu the race for power and place, for
ease of circumstance and relief from
the stimulus of hunger, the modern
man Is apt to forget that unless he is
careful of his body he will soon be
made to suffer for the infraction of na
ture's inexorable physical Law. With
the loss in body tone coineB an equal
loss in mental acuity and the brain
which for a time was able to operate
despite the complaints of an over-fed,
under-exorcised, self- poisoned body,
stops working.
Statisticians have discovered that
the mortality rate of persons in the
United States over 45 years of age is
increasing. The strenuous life of today
is not alone responsible for this. l*ack
of health-giving exrcise, superfluity of
diet, lack of restoring sleep, over
stimulation, the high pressure of the
race for power, wealth and position,
{dus physical neglect—these bring ear
ly decay. The goal is reached—
wealth is amassed—honor, position
and power are just being grasped
when the apple of accomplishment
brilliant mind becomes clouded, the
turns to the ashes of dissolution. The
steady hand is no longer accurate, the
eye which once gazed fearlessly on the
whole world is dimmed and it is not
long before the final break up occurs.
All of this was entirely preventable.
Other things being equal it is the
man who leads the well-balanced life
who lasts the longest, whose work to
the. end is uniformly the best, he who
neither over-works nor over-plays,
neither over-eats, over-drinks, nor
over-sleeps, he who maintains a
standard of simple healthy diet in
moderation, who offsets mental work
with physical recreation, who is as
.honest with is own body as he is with
his own business. When success
comes to such an one his physical and
mental conditon is such that he can
enjoy in peace of mind and content
ment of body the fruits of his labors.
The regulations of United Staten
public health service state: "It is the
duty of officers to maintain their phy
sical as well as their professional fit
ness. To this end they shall be al
lowed time for recreation and study
whenever their official duties will per
mit.” If the government regards it
as essential th,\t its sanitary experts
shall be safeguarded in this way, is
it not equally important to every citi
zen that he similarly maintain a high
standard of physical Integrity?
ALASKA COAL LAND LEASES.
The new Alaska coal land lease
bears evidence of an intention in the
department ot the interior to at least
accord a measure of the same liberal
treatment of Alaska as is accorded
other parts of the United Staes, com
ments the Alaska and Northwest Min
ing Journal. The desire of Mr. IMnchot
that the great wealth of Alaska should
be preserved for generations yet un
born, to the detriment of the pioneers
of Alaska, seems to have long ago
gi ven place to a practical endeavor to
determine what the exact resources
are and to frame laws based on this
information that would at the same
time be attractive to capital and yield
a reasonable revenue to the federal
government, which is now engaged in
opening the country by means of the
railway project.
The department of the interior lias
drawn a leasing regulation for the op
eration, by private individuals, of coal
lands in the Matunuska and Bering
river Holds, that is admitted by emi
nent authority to be fair and workable,
and which is, in fact, similar to the
leasing system effective in West Vir
ginia, where coal has been mined suc
cessfuly for years past.
