A Chinese View of the War. She had measured her own strength. She believed that she. could sweep through Belgium, orush France swiftly, then turn and humble Russia. She expected that Britain would, find suficient. internal trouble to prevent her entry into the war, and that if she did enter, Indis and the co- lonies would break away from the parent stem. She miscaloulated all along the line. She miscalcu- lated the power of resistance of Belgium, the strength and Pre- paredness of France, the temper of Britain, the mighty forces of Russia. Ia the to be praised and admired for her miscalculations? Do we admire and praise the ar- abitect who miscalculates the strength of beams necessery in building a house and whose folly results in serious lose of life? Batfa more ridiculous argument follows.

The Act of Congress provides inter alia: "That no vessel of 100 tone and upward, except those navigating rivera exclusively and small inland lakes and except sË provided for in S.etion 1, shall be permitted, to depart from any port of the United States unless she has on board a orew not less. than 75 per cent, of which, in esob department thereof, are able to understand any order given by the officers of such vessels." It is etated that to put white orews on all their thipa would cost the Pacific Mail Company $803,767 extra in wages and $198,638 extra in food-a total additional expenditure of $802,405 per annum, and an advance of about 175 per cent, on the present run-

ning expenses on these heads. The new law comes into force on November 4th, and as a matter of precaution the Pacific Mail Com- pany is not guaranteeing freight space on its trape-Pacifio vessels from August onward, though it is impossible to believe that the familiar P.M. Dag will not be seen in Eastern ports after November 4.

War's Insanity,"

The violent emotions incident to war, especially within sound of the enemy's guns are, we learn, likely to produce such derange ments of mental balance that temporary, or even permanent, insanity is apt to result. Even at home far from the actual scenes of battle, aged parents, wives, and children are often so upset that nervous disturbances follow. This is asserted by an Italian physician, Dr. P. Consiglio, writing in Cultura Moderna Minery (Rome) in the course of which Dr. Gonвi- glio says: "In wat-time nervous and mental diseases are intenss and frequent. The same canse8 that act in pesce become more
