FRANCE SHOWS HER FRIENDSHIP.
THE HARVARD ALLOWED TO STAY SEVEN
DAYS AT MARTINIQUE DESPITE
SPANS PROTEST

Washington May 14.-Oficial informatio0
reached here to-day that the Spanish Govern
ment had fled a protest at the Foreign once In
Paris against the permission given by the
French authorities at Martinique TO the United
States auxiliary cruiser Harvard to remain IN
the harbor OF st. Pierre. Martinique, for seven
days to make necessary repairs. Inc rrehcn
Government has taken speedy action on 'he p'o-
test. and insists that the United states CRUISER
being disabled has full right to remain seven
DAYS or such time as may be necessary 10 coh-
o,a,a ber renairs and that in the mean time no
stems will be taken to have her leave the Frencn
port.
ment IN the present critical naval situation IN
the West Indies as It serves to permit France
10 give a conspicuous evidence of her friendly
attitude toward the United States and to offset
the insinuations which have been made as to
French favoritism to Spain. II also makes clear
for the first time the plans of the Spanish Ad-
mrsl to have the Harvard forced out OF the
harbor at Martinique and then to capture her
by his swift cruisers and destroyers. II is i'm
possible for the Spanish warships to attack her
while she is inside the harbor, as International
law forbids such an attack in a neutral harbor.
The most the Spanish Admiral can do Is to walt
outside the harbor in the hope OF taking the
Harvard as she leaves port
1t IS evident from the filing OF Spans pro-
test that she had fully expected the Harvard
to leave ST. Pierre. and that the Spanish ships
were lying in walt for her. But walt for seven
DAYS would be futile. other American ships
can go to the relief of the Harvard before that
time. Moreover while the capture OF the Har-
Yard would be valuable to the Spanish squadron.
It is obvious that 1t cannot shape its entire
movements for the next seven days in order to
effect this one capture Had the French author
tiles decided. In view Of the protest. that the
Harvard must sail at once, her position would
have been extremely critical. as her batteries
are Insignificant compared with those Of the big
Spanish warships and her heetness would not
avail when the Spanish ships commanded the
harbor entrance and had 3O-knsk vess lls amons
their number. AZ It Is, the Navy kpars sSf-- -

DIET AS A CAUSE OF SUICIDE.
Physician Thinks He Has Discovered the
Reason OF Seif-Destructiun.

DR.. Haig is of opinion that suicide
may be traced TO error in diet, the error
being the eating of meat, the drinking
OF beer and OF tea, and the smoking OF
tobacco. His facts all fall comfortably
into their places in support Of his hy-
pothesis. Are there not more suicides
among men than among women, and
do not men consume more meat, more
beer and more tobacco than the WOm-
en-? Again, suicide is more common in
England than in Scotland, not appar-
emily because the Scotch are a more
canny, race, but because the English
eat more meat and drink more beer,
while the Scotch eat less meat and
drink whisky instead of beer. After
maintaining that suicide was less COM
mon among the Scotch, ii was perhaps
hardly polite, when addressing a
Scotch audience. TO go on to say that
suicide increased with civilization. But
the fact was explained on the ground
of more injurious diet, that of civilized
man being more productive Of uric acid
and thus OF suicide than that which
prevails where civilization is less ad-
vanced. Uric acid is, in fact, at the
bottom OF all this, and, according to
Dr. Haig, the incidence Of suicide al
lies with the daily, annual and life
fluctuations Of uric acid in the blood,
being cOmmOnest when uric acid is
most abundant. We have no doubt
that errors of diet are responsible for
much, and, among other things, for
certain number of suicides, nay, We
would go further and admit that I'M
suitable diet, arrangement of the prop
er relation between nutrition and
waste, and the consequent loading OF
the tissues and the blood with abnor-
NAL products Of metaboliSm, have much
to do with that i'll temper and discOn-
tent which lead men to lay their hands
violently, often upon their neighbors.
and sometimes on themselves. All this
may be taken for granted, but it Is az
present far from proved that the pee
cant material Is in all eases the same,
and still further are we EOm being
agreed that uric acid is the origin OF
the evil.
