PARIS, May 16,-John Philip sousa,
whose popularity here as a bandmaSier

remarks for publication which Will doubt

1.-THE masses of the people are lnusically

French people are fond Of light music.

as they are In literature, namely. the ma

something more difficult, Both here end

1.-THE Americans who is not an out-and-

sees no good in other countries Is usually

made on their theories by Dr. Brockler'
of Vienna. Dir. Brorkler says that alter
many comparisons of flesh and the 9TH
or forms of diet seen in their effects, he
must conclude emphatically IN favor OF
meat, especially for the European races.
He summarizes his argument thus:
yegetnrians tend to lower the plFta-
rate of countries.
They do not survive the fourth genera
ton.
They become bald early in life.
They suffer from defective eyesisht,
They are deficient IN physical courage.
