PESTILENCE
The most alarming news that has
come out of Russia lately is no polit
ical or military, but hygienic. Worse
than Bolshevikism, worse than anar
chy, worse than German domination,
according to the popular view at least,
is pestilence. Cholera is said to be
rampant in Moscow and elsewhere.
Typhus and smallpox are gaining
headway, too, as might be expected in
a country where scores of millions
are underfed and sanitation is in a
worse state than ever.
Cholera, according to the accepted
tradition, has its home in Asia the
abode of ignorance and filth. Again
and again, in medieval and modern his
tory, it has invaded Europe by wav
of Russia and the Balkans. Both re
gions are now better adapted to its
spread than they have been for dec
ades, because of the abnormal lower
ing of health and sanitary standards
and resources caused by the war. It
must be accepted as a matter of
course that henceforth, until order is
restored and the populations are once
more wellfed and cared for, western
Europe and America will face the
threat of pestilence.
We need not, however, be undulv
alarmed. We know Serbia was smit
ten by the dread typhus and how the
disease was stamped out there in a
few months by an expeditionary force
of American doctors and nurses. There
is no reason why cholera, even if it
has become epidemic, cannot be han
died likewise, though the task in Rus
sia is naturally a huge one.
As for allied countries, there need
be no fear of epidemic. Cholera, like
most of the other scourges that form
erly slew so large a part of the hu
man race, is absolutely preventable.
By sanitary precautions and the use
of protective serum, armies and civil
populations can be kept immune. Chol
era will never sweep the earth again.
All that is left of that German sub
offensive is a smear of oil on the sur
face.
FIVE - FOOT SOLDIERS
The physical requirements for our
national army have been changed so
as to admit men five feet tall and
weighing 110 pounds. Instructions
have been sent accordingly to med
ical advisory boards throughout the
country. The result will be a large
increase in the number of eligible men
within the age limits of the present
draft law.
The ruling will give general satis
faction. It has long been recognized
that our army requirements were un
necessarily strict, and in view of the
present conditions of warfare, rather
arbitrary. It is not at all evident that
a large man is necessarily superior to
a small one nowadays for fighting
purposes. So far back as the Russo
Japanese war the big Russians cer
tainly gained no advantage over t he
little Japs from their size. Now, when
battles are so largely a question of
shellfire and machineguns, the old
standard must certainly be revised. A
big man may not even have the ad'
vantage in a bayonet duel, which is
largely a matter of training and agil
ity. Our war department is not driven
to this step by any serious lack of men.
There are plenty of big men in the
country. Those "shorties" will give a
good account of themselves when the
time comes, just as the "bantam" Eng
lishmen have done.

Of course that isn't hard work
just now and then.
But when officers from the neigh

busy saluting.
So, guarding the President may Ik
