tration camps in South Africa, with the
following conclusion:
The truth is that the death rate in the
camps is comparatively worse than any
thing Africa or Asia can show. There
is nothing to match it even in the mor-
tality figures of the Indian famines,
where cholera and other epidemics have
to be contended with.
Statistics are produced in proof of this
assertion.
The government's advertisement for
teachers for the camp children, setting
forth that “the term of employment will
be one year certain” is prominently dis-
played as evidence that the authorities
have no intention of ending the ‘whole-
sale destruction of human life.”
The Daily News urges all humane
men not to wait for official reports, but
to insist “on the camps being broken up
and the people distributed among their
friends.”

NAVY'S GROWTH
Rear Admiral Bradford Presents Some Inter-
esting Facts in His Report.
Washington, D. C. (Special).— A
striking illustration of the growth of the
American Navy is presented in the single
statement in the annual report of Rear-
Admiral R. B. Bradford, Chief of the
Equipment Bureau of the Navy, that he
spent $2,273,111 last fiscal year for 324,
108 tons of coal at an average of $7.01
per ton.
I'he report says that this was nearly
95.713 more tons of coal than were used
during the preceding fiscal year. Ten
years ago the coal consumption was 73,-
000 tons per annum. [he domestic coal
costs $6.20 per ton, and the foreign coal,
of which there were used 105006 tons,
cost $8.50 per ton.
_ Admiral Bradford has scattered Amer-
ican coal all over the world wherever
suitable storage could be found. He has
placed 12,000 tons at
by water from the Atlantic coast
with
coal. They have averaged the same in
cost, viz., $0.29 per ton, but at present,
owing to the scarcity of American

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS,
Me. Root Hos His Troubles.
Secretary Root is very mach perplexed
in preparing his annual report on aceomnt
of the delay in receiving the report of
the Philippine Commission.
The commission's peport, together with
a special envoy sent to the Philippines to
report on the banking and currency con-
ditions of the islagd, left Manila on the
transport Sheridan, Two weeks ago the
Sheridan broke down in Japan and the
Warren was ordered to bring her passen-
gers and important mail. A few days
ago the Warren broke down, and the
Hancock has just sailed from Manila to
take her place.
These accidents will prevent the report
of the Philippine Commission, as well as
the report of the special representative on
currency, from reaching Secretary Root
in time to be used in his annual report.
Meanwhile he is using such information
as has already been prepared in the Bu-
reau of Insular Affairs, but it is likely
that a supplemental report will be made
by the Secretary, covering the Philip
pines and based upon the commission's
report,
