Kvrn Rui and Japan ahuok band on bearing of the Klcventh Annual Re icatta. Thi agreement arrived at Tue lay between the peace pkmlpotentlarie of ItuMia and Japan end one of the most dolorou war the world baa seen. While the atorie of bloodhed and eulTerlug In the Kar Eat have given th pre of the country i In fact, the pre of the world, flrat cla new matter for over year, we cannot deny that it waa with a feel ing of intense gratification that we read of the amicable aettlenient of the differ ihti between the belligerent. The cul mination of the peace conference wan aur pi king a well a unexpected. The term of the agreement are not short of as toundiug. Much must be aid of the ap parent magnanimity of the Japanese, but the finesse of M. Wltte, the Itumian emissary, I worthy of more space and rilng fur above the humanitarian in clination of the race or the ability of the individual, la the remarkable diplo matic prowesa of our fcnrlcs chief execu tive, iheiHlore Roosevelt. Today be Mamie at the head of the diplomatic. True, he may be judged a lucking in the subtlety of the diplomatic of old, but he poce atrikiugly original char eterlotie which have proved both cs- enliiil and successful. When the out look for pace aecmed darkest, President Roosevelt, with the determination of puipoHfl, the determination to succeed in everything undertaken, which ch'nrne tei ie the real American, Mepjied in and with sheer fore, of energy, practically forwd the rejM'ctlva conimisloti to recognize what he believed wn an agreement that would be just to Uith countries. To thi man i due the entire credit fU" the grat ifying result of the negotiation of I'oi Imiioiitli iiihI hi name will lie banded down to poxterity a the greateat of the world' diplomatic. Anent the term of the agreement, it will doubtleaa be bent for the intercut of the world at large that ftakhaleln I to be almred by Russia and Japan. Russia' evacuation of Manchuria and the recognition of China a a factor In the government of that province, and the relinquishment of the lenses in the I.laoyang penliiHiila are but fair. It would have been, indeed un reasonable to have Initiated upon the elimination of these clause. Regarding the phenomenal diplomatic victory, of the Russian emiaHarica, rather than dub them "greedy," from the standpoint 6t diplomacy, we at once admire them a eminently tha auperlorii of their con tcmporaric. Russia may never attain the place she baa held among nation and a the atonihlng vlctoriea of Japan will ever be her glory, in the release of the Interned ahlpa, she followed the only conro of a nation aspiring to a place among the Christian countries of the world.

Associated with Mcwir. (ieorgaa and Re id, who were designated by the gov ernment to fight ravages of the dieae in Cuba was a graduate of John Hop kin university, Dr. Lazcar. The aclcn tints bad made much progress in their work of Investigation but the final proof which would convince even againC It will a somewhat sceptical world of the mosquito' perniciou activity in spread ing the fever waa nt ill lacking. The physidana had, so to apeak, fairly cor nered the Insect at hi work and they themselves had no doubt of the truth of their theory. It waa necessary, how ever, to secure absolute evidence of at least one case where the fever eould have been contracted through no other agency. In tbli dilemma Dr. Lazcar, after care fully aecluding himself from every pos sible source of Infection, put on his arm a mosquito that had previously bit ten a victim of the plague. The insect bit linear and in a few days the young scientist died of yellow fever. There is a tablet to bis memory at Johns Hop kins, but the government ha never rec ognised the sacrifice which made possible one of the greatest triumph in medical history. The outbreak of thi season la the first epidemic on the soil of the United Statee to be fought with the knowledge given the world by Lazcar' death. . Living Scow for Sal Cheap. Living acow for aale."
