ministry answered that the demands

The demands were briefly that the

agement should not issue orders to the

Ridicule at Johns Hopkins.
Now York Sun Snacial Seruica

Baltimore, Md, Feb: 24-The theory
advanced by DR.. William Osler at the
Johns Hopkins university that nothing
of material value is accomplished in the
world by men who have passed the age
. of 40 years, and that after 60 years a
man is useless, has moved his colleagues
. Of the Johns Hopkins to mildly ridicule.
Professor Basil Gildersleeve, who has
been at the university since it's opening,
said
Well, what an impertnent question to
ask one who should have been chloroformed
thirteen years ago. I have no right to
express an opinion on the subject, be-
cause I am 73 years old. and am, there
fore, no use anyway. I may say, how
: ever that I am very glad nobody thought
/ to chloroform me thirteen years ago.
Then, again, I think my case is out Of
court. and consequently the restriction
does not apply to me, because I was over
60 before DR.. Osler made his speech. I
believe the answer to the question as to
when it is time to stop all depends upon
the age Of the man who gives it. We are
all inclined to believe that the time for
= knocking off work is just a little ahead of
us, no matter how old we are.

In the meantime Norway has not
taken any final steps to establish her

better carried out. when calmly consid-

It is idle to talk of war between the
