BOTH SIDES ARE FIRM.
Great Strike at Fall River Shows
No Indications of Being
Settled.

Fall River, Mass, Sept. 19.-The peace
full but determined contest between $37-
100000 of invested mill capital and &C.
600 mill laborerS which began in this
city eight weeks ago, is apparently no
nearer settlement than at its very out
set last July. Both sides remain firm,
the mill owners claiming that it is i'm
possible TO resume operations unless
the 1917 per cent. reduction is made in
wages, while the operatives are just as
determined against working under such
conditions With winter not far distant
the unions have already begun to hus-
band their resources for the drain
which must then be more severe than
during the summer months. The exodus
of foreign operatives has naturally been
large, and lately many of the skilled help
have Joined the outgoing army seeking
other fields for their labor. OF the for
eigners, the Portuguese have left in
larger numbers, very few remaining in
the city.

MEDICAL MATTERS.

DR.. Amelia Wilkes Lines, who w.
GENTLY celebrated her eightieth birthday,
is the oldest practicing woman doctor
in the world. She was the first woman
to receive diploma in the state of New
York, and has practiced in New York
city since 1854.
New statutes, just issued In Russia,
place women doctors on practically the
same footing both with regard to edu-
cation and practice as their male rivals.
Women may now obtain diplomas, pur-
suing their studies for medical degrees
in the univeIs stiles and in the military
medical academy. But the law restricts
Jewish students to three per cent.
French medical opinion has BEEN
strongly moved by theory openly adj
vocated by small group OF medical men
in the United States that in certain
stages of hopeless suffering it is permis-
sible to hasten the patients death. The
New York State Medical association is
stated to have given its sanction to this
theory. By the immense majority of
French medical men the theory is de-
nounced as bad, both officially and sci
entifically, since many instances could
be quoted of recovery after the case

Every formal treaty of arbitration
will aid wonderfully in molding public
sentiment against war and smoothing
the way to other similar treaties. The
example of the great militant coun-
tries will have persuasive influence up
on the small nations which are now
taxing their slender resources to main
tain armies and navies to be annihilated
In the first encounter with a stronger
power. Land hunger, empire-building
absorption of weak countries by the
combative savage, fighting instinct sur
viving civilization, traditional racial
hate, give a tremendous impetus to war.

more willing, nor are they suited to the
work. The suggestion which has been
offered that immigrants from southern
Europe might find ready and constant
employment as agricultural workers in
the south, where climatic conditions are
those to which they are accustomed in
their native countries, is being eagerly
seized upon by cotton planters. Land
and mill owners are looking for white
workers to take the place of the blacks
and are offering inducements to Italians.
