A Timely Protest.
Senator Bacon did exactly the right
thing yesterday in entering a protest with
the war department against the sending
of the Third I Hit* H States volunteer regi
imnt to Santiago on the idea that the men
eompoHiig it are in any sense immune
from yellow fever or other tropical dis
ia er Senator'Bacon acted in the inter
istr of humanity when he made bold to
tell tin- war di partment the truth as to
the character of this regiment, and the
protests of the colonel commanding and
tn subordinate officers against interfer
ence is not a sufficient answer to the
plain, unvarnished facts presented by
ts< nator Bacon.
It is tint natural that these officers.
«ager for glory or promotion, even at the
risk of their lives, should be anxious to
move to the front. Some of them even
confess- that this was their whole purpose
in enlisting, hence they resent any inter
ft i< nee on the part of Senator (Bacon or
anyone < Ist But what of the fwor pri
vates. many of them minors wiio either
diil not or could not weigh the responsi
bilities involved in their enlistment? It
is notoriously true that many of these
youths enlisted without knowing ttk»
meaning of the word "Immune,” or what
was expected of them except in a general
way.
were (iiiriMisely kept in ignorance. Whether
the latter is true or not, it is a well know'll
■fact that several captains, eager to secure
their commissions, caught up every man
and hoy who intimated a desire to Join the
army, and these were enlisted as 'im
munes” without the slightest regard for
■the meaning of the word.
It is for these that Senator 'Bacon
speaks; not for the ones who wear the
shoulder straps or sergeant's stripes, and
are ambitious to rise still higher, lit re
quires less bravery and less sacrifice for
in offtier to invade the yellow fever dis
iriet of I’ltlia In pay is sufficient to se
im Hie things necessary to health
' even if these were not al-
'. him by reason of his
i ank Better quarters, better food, better
clothing, les- exposure, greater attention
when sick render the situation much more
favorable for him.
But it is the poor private who must suf
fer most. Without ambition or the hope
of reward to spur him on and with noth
ing to render the situation more inviting,
he must go like a sheep to the slaughter—
tn order, it would seem, that a few officers
may win a little glory.
Os course, if there were any necessity
for the sacrifice of these lives, no objec
tion would be raised. (Even were these
young Georgians not being sent to the
front under false pretenses nothing would
>be said. But to dump 1,500 of them into
n yellow fever stricken city, where hun
dreds are being attacked and scores are
dying dally, on the idea that they are Im
mune from the disease, when, in truth
they are, perhaps, the easiest of .prey, is
both a farce and a tragedy combined.
A Strong Endorsement.
The iNews publishes elsewhere today a
letter from 'President R. M. Rogers, of the
Chamber of Commerce. President 'Rogers
writes to endorse ami encourage the pub
lication of the Anniversary and Carnival
edition of The News. Knowing as he does
the great need for such a publication and
believing that The News will fully meet
the demands of the occasion, he considers
it wise ami proper to give to the under
taking the hearty co-operation of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The 'News naturally appreciates the
Chamber of Commerce’s endorsement, but
it feels that it is no more than the pro
posed publication merits. In fact, we think
every representative body and every citi
zen of Macon who has the interests of his
city at heart should aid in this work of
advertising Macon to the world. True it
is to some extent in the nature of a busi
ness enterprise, hut it carries with it so
much more of patriotic effort in behalf of
Macon, that the possible individual benefit
©an be overlooked. It is. of course, neces
sary to ask for advertisements in to
pay the cost of such a publication, 'but the
benefit to be derived by Macon from.such
« .publication if far in excess of what The
News expects for itself.
It is in this light that President Rogers
end other representative citizens have
viewed it. and it should be so viewed by
everyone else; though the direct and in
dividual benefit to advertisers will far out
weigh the cost to them.
Iho News is .pleased to say it has al
ready received several voluntary offers of
advertisements from business men who not
only appreciate the value of such a pub
lication to Macon, but the imi>ortance of
having themselves represented therein.
The News confidently expects to have every
business and every local industry of any
consequence represented in the Anniver
sary Edition, ami to this end solicitors will
begin work within a few days.
In the meantime, we direct attention to

About Treaties of Peace.
There is considerable formality about a
nv - Pea T The . enacting parties
coniin ic^ion pfs. who moot
iVe'det^ls. 1 * CAP ‘ UI and agree upaa
Under international law interested nar
ties may be included if they took a direc:
part in the war and if they have any in
»rest involved in the agreements which
by the natwns tha - about
to settle their differences.
It would be on such a plea that the Eu-
l -in I ow<rs might attempt to be repre
in tho s P anis h- American treaty.
icy would do it readily enough on shal
vw pretexts, as was shown by the Russo-
Turkish convention of 1878. and the Japa
nese-Chinese treaty of 1895. when the
powers had practically the entire control
of Tne negotiations.
The custom of the United States has been
so deal solely with its antagonist. This
was the case in the peace negotiations with
England, when France and Spain tried to
interfere.
Spain laid claim to the territory between
the Mississippi and the Alleghennies, from
the gulf to 'the lakes, and France, always
Spain’s friend—one might say brother, that
quarrels frequently but makes common
cause against the outside world—showed
clearly that it was no love for us that led
to its aiding the Americans in the Revolu
tion.
England agreed to give us the territory
and declared that Spain had no status.
Nothing that a nation does is as solemn
as the negotiations for a treaty of peace.
Any treaty is attended by a good deal of
formality, but a treaty of peace being the
most important of all. is the most formal.
The declartion of an armistice is usually
the first thing on the program. This
means a cessation of hostilities, and, as
that is usually very much to the benefit of
one side or the other, the victorious na
tion requires that the details must be
well understood before the armistice is de
clared.
When these details are extensive and
stated in black and white, the agreement |
is known as a preliminary peace, in con- ;
trast to the definite peace. A preliminary '
peace is fully binding, and the treaty of j
Paris between England and the United,
Statea, signed November 30, 1788, is euch
a document.
Our Prisoner Guests.
'Admiral Cervera and his captains and
other ranking officers of his vanquished
fleet are guests of the nation in a style
that has opened their eyes with surprise, if
it has not melted their hearts with grati
tude. Their quarters are assigned in the
buildings occupied in term time by our
regular cadets, in the midst of surround
ings that must prove congenial—the lovely
historic academy grounds, where so many
of our naval heroes have been nourished.
Ever since modern standards of warfa**
began, say a century ago, the aim of civil
ized nations has been to apply the golden
rule to all prisoners of war—do by the
enemy just as you would want the enemy
to do by you, if the situation were re
versed.
Tn the days of long ago, according to the
distance of tribes or nations from the
savage state, prisoners of war were either
held as slaves or sacrificed to the gods.
Some of our native redskin tribes, as well
as the savages of Africa and the South
Sea, took no prisoners at all; they were a
nuisance, and the thing was mutual, any
how. It was “no quarter” all around, like
the pirates’ black flag, and better die fight
ing bravely with an arrow in the heart
than live to be roasted at the stake for
the entertainment of gods and victors. •
Slavery was the milder fate that befell all t
war prisoners of Rome. This was general •
throughout all Eastern countries for many
centuries after Rome was dead and pre- ‘
vails still in some back-number localities.
Prisoners of war were slain by heca
tombs on the altars of the gods in Carth
age, but those bloody heathen divided
these favors equally, their own people
coming in for these heavenly honors at
the same time. When the Spaniards en
tered the new world they found the same •
practice had plowed its way across to
Mexico and 'Peru, and these tender-hearted
invaders, who didn’t mind chopping up a
few thousand natives before breakfast,
lifted their hands in holy horror at roast
ing prisoners of war. So they attempted
to discourage the custom by calling the.
attention of the big Aztec chiefs to the
fact that the Christian creed could not
tolerate any such abominations.
M. Cambon, French ambassador, says
he is responsible for .Spain’s good faith in
the .peace negotiations. The safe side in
diplomay, according to the late Bismarck,
is to trust no one.
It will be a race now between the white
winged bird and General Miles as to tho
total conquest of Puerto Rico.
Now where is Senor Sagasta with that
"single, terrible blow” which he promised
to deliver to the lAmericans?

call on or address Captain General Blanco,
Havana, Cuba.
General Miles is marching straight to
ward a lieutenant generalship.
Spain is at the bar, pleads guilty and
implores the mercy of the court.
To keep or not to keep—that is the ques
tion with the Philippines.
The light of reason is at last penetrating
the brain of the Don.
Extempore Prayers,
Division steins hiiniinent in the local
Coiigi-egatiouul organization over the
question of the use of liturgical forms in
public worship. The principal opponent
of the present custom of uttering extern
poraneous effusions in preference to set
prayers is the Rev George B. Hatch. In
advocacy of the formal plan he tolls n
story of a certain pastor in this city who
prayed in public for 25 minutes and then
begged the Almighty to “forgive his short
comings 1”
“I also know a moneyed and miserly
deacon,” says Mr. Hatch, ‘ who in plead
ing at. the throne of grace for himself, his
children and his grandchildren offered this
unique and humble supplication, though
the petitioner was in reality a very proud
and vain individual:
“O Lord, save thine unworthy dust,
and thy dust’s dust, and thy dust’s dust’s
dust I”—San Francisco News Letter.

ships were withdrawn from eastern sta
tions, except the Asiatic, for service in the
West Indies, and since then the officers
have not had time to bother with the re
sumption of naval representation in alien
waters. In late years the European sta
tion has dwindled in importance to the
United States until only three ships, none
armored, were kept there.
The navy officials have begun to talk
over the character of the new European
squadron, and have practically reached
the conclusion that a strong and formidable
force should be sent there, not because of
any likelihood of trouble with European
nations, but to show the people over there
the ships that whipped Spain’s navy. The
squadron vfill probable consist of at least
two battleships, an armored cruiser and
other vessels.

UWSIPELAS
Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Be Shunned by
Their Fellow-Man.
Springfield, Mo.
Gentlemen : I commenced taking- P.
P. P., Lippman’s Grea£ Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com
pletely covered with the disease ; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an
other course, and I am now in good
condition. 1 consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonie to build up the system and
Improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it.

Yours very truly,
