disclosures made also suggest that increased pay and shorter working days for some men may be carried to the point where they cease to be a benefit Admiral Tudor is quoted as reporting: reasons for the loss of time are various but it is abundantly clear Unit tlie most potent reason is the facilities that exist for men for obtaining beer and spirits with a high rate of wages and abundance of employment Opinion on this point is practically unanimous" It is suggested that the Sunday work be discontinued Double wages are paid for work on Sunday Many are reported as working Sunday to get the increased then taking two or throe days in the drink up the money they earned It is not to be assumed of course British working men deserve the censure con tained in the hut the percentage must be very material in order to deserve ollicial recognition The conduct of the offenders is a serious reflection on their intelligence to say notiiing of patriotism and an injury to the cause of all British workingmen The few who take advantage of war conditions to get more pay that they may get more drink demonstrate that at least in tlirdr own eases short hours and in creased wages are a

The answer would be as follows: Because we cannot be fair to both parties to an equal extent because we can not deal equally squarely 'with each of the contending parties and because we can not give them both an equally fair chance let us abstain from graintlug a privilege to one party we have to deny the other party in other words let us discontinue to ship war ma terial abroad altogether This conclusion arrived at after a thorough consideration of all the principles concerned and in volved would naturally this govern ment to place an embargo upon the ship merit of any kind of war material

President of the United States So far as the letter of the law of tralitv is concprued I personally admit that our govurnmuet is perfectly right and perfectly justified but as re gards the spirit of this same law as well as the letter and spirit of another even higher and better recognized law our government is decidedly wrong or while It is true on the one hand that In allowing American firms to ship war material of any kind to count les other than the United States our gov ernment Intends to make no discrimina tion between the different belligerents and while it is further true that our would equally well allow the same American firms to ship the same sorts of wwr material also to Germany ami to Austria as they are allowed to ship them to the allies if the formern countries would place their orders with these American firms the naked fact re mains on the other hand that the United Stales could not do so even if they want ed to because the one side is preventing the other side from receiving such war material by means of the control they have attained of the high seas Thus this government finds ilsrlf confronted by a situation where it can grant privi leges to the one side of the belligerents Idle it finds it impossible to grant the same privileges to the other side thus 1 his government seems to strictly observe Hie letter of the law of neutral ity tin so far as nobody can hinder it from exporting war materia) to any bel ligerent power as long as this shipping is consistent with the letter of that law) it decidedly violates the very spirit of this same law of neutrality (for tn he neutral means to help none of the bel ligerents) and moreover the letter as well as the spirit of that other most liaramount law that made our country famous the law and the

present at that time a selected au dience of medical and surgical professors nearly every one of whom either privately or cussion opposed or overtly scoffed at Buffalo pathologist for daring to venture cancers were associated with either animalcules Prof William Welch one of the broadest minded and most tolerant pathologists and physicians that America had produced alone among those as sembled came to the defense of the young man who dared to voice his observations and experiments in the face of organized authorities on malaria cancer and other hackneyed medical topics Today the informed research workers in the medical sciences are in harmony with Dr Harvey Gaylord but not because of his work Dr Peyton Rous ot the staff of the Rockefeller Institute was the fortunate man who discovered that the fluids from malignant growths filtered through rough porcelain contained an in visible virus possibly an animalcule which like the yellow fever germ or the hydrophobia microbe is capable of reproducing and causing the same malignant malady when inoculated into a sound creature No ointments tinctures drugs laying on of Lands cbarnus talismans holy relics bizarre religious formulas stoical thoughts or other types of scientific or unscientific treatment will cure or long postpone the fatalities toward which these maligncint growths inevitably lead unless removed by a surgeon A deft harinletss painless and perfect use of the lancet scalpel and other hos pital instruments will prevent tlie de structive and mortal inroads of cancer while nothing else will And remember that drive away tlie outward signs of a cancer even tor a tew years makes death dealing malignant blow all more certain Just as tuberculosis is not inherited association with or descent from the lierculous makes the structures of youranatomy susceptible to it so Dr Maud rilye has found that there is in familieis where cancers have occurred a tissue fondness or hyper susceptibility to this
