NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. Any erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person, firm or corporation which may appear In the colunms of The Nasaau Post, will be gladly corrected upon request at the main office, Mil¬ ler Building, 22-24 South Grove street, Freeport, L. 1., N. Y.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Our thanks are due so many good people who have aided tbe Nassau Post in the last two weeks that per haps it Is superfluous to Degin. In¬ deed how can we ever hope to finisb wben we have received It from every band?
We heartily commend the able ar¬ ticle by Albin N. Johnson and hope all our readers will peruse it with the same pleasure that we have. ,
We hope to hear from Mr. Johnson again and often.
They may not be able to give any rea¬ son for it only they could not bear to see a scrap without getting busy. So It seems with ttae Mikado. Ap¬ parently about tbe only reason or pre¬ tense of reason given Is to restore or hold intact some of China's rights to certain territory. But wben did Ja¬ pan begin to feel such a very warm regard for China? That is certainly something new. In the meantime the peaceful Chinese goes quietly on bis way undisturbed by war or rumors of war.
LET GERMANY BEWARE Let ttaat man beware of that wblch tae despises. If one bates anything with intelligence, the feeling is na¬ turally returned.. With bate comes the desire to inflict injuiy.
The whole poultlon of tbe Kaiser baa been one of hatred toward almost every other nation. Toward France It amounted to a frenzy. He rushed a great part of hla entire available army into ttae fleld. His orders to his soldiers were "lake Paris or Die." Pans taas not fallen up to tbe latest advices. It may stand a selge for Dome time. In tbe meantime tbe Ger¬ man Capitol seems practically unpro¬ tected. Russia is lying in wait like a leashed bound. Uer army sbould taave captured tbe City of Berlin ere
this.
¦ <i
Of tbis imminent danger tbe Ger¬ man ruler seems to give but little taeed. Already tbe Kaiser's losses taave been enormous. An observer of ttae war movements cays 100,000 taave already been killed. Ttae loss of men in battle does not demoralize a vic¬ torious army. Tbe effect upon that same army is different if nothing is attained by tbat loss. He has already thrown tbe flower of his army into tbe slaughtisr.
During tbe Civil War in this coun¬ try ttae total enlistments in tbe Union Army approximated 2,223,000. The German Army has not yet reached tbese proportions, and yet tbe flower of German manboo^ is now mobilized. President Lincoln's Army was enlist¬ ed in four years. It exhausted about all the available flghting force of this country at that time. Germany has pushed her army into the fleld in less than two months and even now tbe best of her fighting force lies in tbe trenches or is storming ttae gates of ttae Frencta Capitol.
It Is RussiaSs opportunity and one can taardly realize that immense army commanded by the Czar. Even their peace strength is 1,200,000 men. Tbis vast force can be readily raised to 5,000,000 or even 10,000,000 men. Perhaps the great decisive point of tbis whole war depends entirely on tho Quality of this army, the potential flghting force of each individual sol¬ dier. The Kaiser views ttae vast taorde wltta contempt Tl^is Is tals mistake until tae measures arms wltta tbem.
Of course a big buncb of cattle can be stampeded as easily as a small one. Here numbers cannot give cour¬ age where courage does not'-ejclst But let ttae haughty Kaiser not boast until he has tried ttae steel of this , vast army opposed to him. And tae has ottaer dogs of war to reckon with aside from ttae Russian Bear.
The Post feels somewhat inclined to go into mourning over ttae loss to its office force of Walnwrlght Wemple, who has moved to Elizabeth, New Jer¬ sey. He bas been a faithful and effi¬ cient aid, first as carrier and later as manager of the circulating depart¬ ment. He is a good, honest, faith¬ ful boy, and tbat is about as bigh praise as we can give any boy.
BRITIAN8 WAR BILL Lord ICltchener ought lo be a good j'jdge of war measures ahd tbe cost tbereof. He bas been a soldier ever- since he was old enough to bear arms. He seemingly cares for nothing else. He has gone on record as stating that tbe war will last three years. And the dally coat to England alone, Is now 15,000,000 per day. Multiply that tidy sum by the days contained in three years, and see who will own England by the end of that period.
Isg ateadUr down Fifth avenue laat week.
We are moTe inclined to think of women on New York's show avenue, associated with rich gowns, laces and ribbons, uniformed footmen and pet dogs. But war calls to woman no less than man, but in a different way.
Drums, fifes, waving flags, ever stir the heart of man. They seem to call
forth all the primitive Instincts, to tbe primitive In his nature. Tbey rub the veneer away and tbe cave man leaps forth.
They call to woman loo. But tbey speak to her of parting waiting, lone¬ liness unspeakable, of gastly wounds, of death, of the awful lonliness of tbe Journey without son. husband, or fa¬ ther.
The silent appeal of the black rob¬ ed women could be made no stronger by the most impassioned speeches. It is their earnest,-too often unavall ing, protest against a sin tbat, as a sex, tbey have sometimes condoned, and yet ever protested against. And the sweet, normal woman will ever thus protest against this barbarity, as long as It may continue to exist.

Tbe Nassau Orand Jury was In ses at Syracuse last we^-k. He made flve slon Tuesday last. A dApatrh fo the ''"tries in tbe poultry department and
N. Y. American says:
District Attorney Smith railed jiiany of his witnesses to be used against Mrs. Florence C. Carman, before the September Grand Jury, and re-exam¬ ined them before that body. This un¬ usual action WHR responplble tcjr a re¬ port that the District Attorney, is not satisfled with the indlttnif-nt for man¬ slaughter lodged against Mrs, Carman in July, was anxious lo have ber face a charge of murder in the first drgree.
Some of the witnessps known to have been taken before the Grand Jury are Cella Coleman, tbe Carman servant; John Farrell, tli<' tramp who says he saw a woniiin i(-avp the win¬ dow througli wblch tlio shot was fired which killed Mrs. T.'ailey; Dr. Roy D.

THE RED CROSS
Occasionally we read of troops, or perhaps irresponsible camp followers, flring upon, or committing some imdig- nlty toward buildings or camps that are under tbe banner of the Red Cross. It seems almost impossible to comprehend tbis.
The Red Cross is a charity that knows no distinction of politics or race. It Is never belligerent. It is ever and always a worker for peace. Its aim is Just tbe reverse of war. War's whole object is to tear down, destroy, slay. Ttae work of ttae Red Cross Is to build up, to heal, to make whole.
Like the proverbial happy woman. It makes no history In times of peace. But when war is declared, when tram¬ pling armies go forth to slaughter, then tbe Rod Cross becomes active and also musters its forces, ttae forces ot .devotion, courage, helpfulness and hope.
Far less than war, but to a large extent, it takes money to carry on this work of mercy. In tbe present war ttae society bas sent appeals to the Major of cities for contributions. F^inds so contributed, will be well spent.
"Ten cents," say tbis call for finan¬ cial aid, "will buy enough chloroform, or ether to provide a painless opera¬ tion for some poor wounded soldier." Let tbose wbo have abundance give freely and let the poor witbold not their mile.

GLEN COVE'S HEALTH PROBLEM
Glen Cove has work ahead. There are a lot of hovels near tbe village where a class of undersirables dwell without any sanitary surroundings. As a result there are over 80 well de¬ veloped cases of tuberculosis, with the prospect of many more to follow un¬ less the most stringent measures are Immediately adopted.
Dr. Frank H. Overton, State Health Inspector, has called the matter to ttae attention of the village autbor- tl|f^ He sharply advised them to per¬ form their duty and to do it at once, before tbe healtta of the entire com¬ munity is threatened.

Dr. B. T. Wasihngton's Sound Logic
Dr. Booker T. Washington, always talks good, sound sense to his race. What could be more directly to the point than the following quoted from an address recently delivered at Mor- rlstown, N. J. And white people might profit by very mucb of it too:
'We spend too mucb time in de¬ fending our race," said he, "in getting back at somebody, in resenting some¬ thing tbat somebody has said or done to us. Too often we magnify insigni¬ flcant occurrences.
'Get out on the farms, into the country districts. Tbere are 700,000 acres 'n New Jersey which can be turned into farms, Into truck gard¬ ens, something to make you independ¬ ent. This is a great opportunity for tbe colored people. There was never sucb a demand as now for farm and garden product.
"See tbat every cb'ld is kept in school and when he gets an education see that he uses it. Ignorance cannot compete with intelligence.
"Let us advertise our white enemies less and our white friends more. In the South we are making trenienodus progress and I want to see our peo¬ ple throughout New Jersey ko for¬ ward as fast as we are KoinK in the South."
