OWN at Goat Island, in San Francisco Bay, is a United Stae Naval 'Training st on which since October, 1916, has been undernl"e medical direction of Commander Perceva) S. Rossiter.' Dr. Rossiter has recently been de tached from that sation for service elsewhere. During the last few weeks the island has min tamed a strict quaraftine. ~and among. the diversions of the garrison and other inhabitants of the station during _heir seclusion has been the publishing of a small four-page periodical called "The Yerba Buena Cazette." From a recent issue of this sheet, where announcement is made of Dr. Rossiter's transfer, the remark able fact is learned that Goat -Island is the only military camp in the whole country into which the dreaded Spanish influenza has not pene t ated, the immunity or escape being credited to his foreisght and precaution. IHe did not wait for the disease to reach San Francisco be fore recommending strict quarantine regula tion a esoon as he-became aware that the malady was likely ':to become pandemic, he advised placing the island under quarantine; and although this suggestion was resented by some, and its advisability questioned by cer tain officials and practitioners as panicky and premature, the excellent result above referred to appears to have fully justified the wisdom and timeliness of his orders. Among those in the naval force on 'he island are several Utah boys, some of whom have written home in typical terms of youthful enthusiasm and grat itude, to the effect that "surely our good doc tor ought soon to be permitted to wear an other stripe on his uniform for the unique rec ord he has just made." The incident is merely referred to here as showing that the disease can be combatted suc cessfully if steps are taken soon enough and thoroughly enough. Of course, a small island and especially one under exclusive military urisdiction, can readily be'placed under abso-lute isolat4on and quarantine.. But other places not so 'ideally situated would appear to be able, if the will and intention were strongi enough, to have erected barriers proportionately adequate and effective. The difficulty appears t9 be that precautionary, measures are not invoked until the epidemic has obtained a foothold and has become widespread. It is the oild'story of locking the stable door tifter the horse is stoa, Those communities which have 'resolutely closed their gates against transieQnts or visitors who were under the 'lightest suicnofbngbrrsothdiease, mayfee o fei rptheo fr herwant of -hospitality.

The other day Mr. Hughes, premier of the Australian commonwealth, sent a wireless message from the new Marooni station at Carnarvon, Wales, to the wireless station in Sydney, Australia. The distance of direct transmission was 12,000 mIles, and the me. ages were received'with perfect olearness. The Hertsian waves of wireless mees move equally in all directions, If, therefore, the messages between Wales and Australia went half way around the globe in one direction they did so in all other directions, and these messages may be said to have enveloped the globe. When we all get to talking around the earth, traveling without annoying customs, doing business an one consolidated planet, and reading the came news for breakfast in China and Peru, it will not be long until we thin-k together and feel as one, and the prophecy of Plihu Burritt will be realised--- that "above all nations is Humanity."
