PARIS. Aug. l1.-(speclal Cablegram to

Presentations in Latin.

The use of Latin by physicians in pre-

a harmless survival OF medievalism. Oc.
casionally a lay writer suggests its aban-
donment. In commenting on a recent note
to this effect in daily paper, which advo-
Gates the compulsory use of English in pre-
scriptions, the Druggists Circular and
Chemical Gazette takes occasion to make a
strong defense Of the time-honored prac-
tice. Says this paper:

necdful to save his life was Geranium
Robertanum. If there were a law pre-
venting the doctor from prescribing in
Latin he would have to choose one OF the
upward OF a dozen English names for this
drug. Suppose he chose 'redshanks' and
so wrote the word in his prescription.
When the druggist went to prepare the
medicine he would find that 'redshanks' was
the English name of at least four entirely
different plants, namely. the one already
mentioned, Polygonium amphIbium, Poly
gonium persicaria and Rumex acetosa.

MERCER FLEEs TO ENGLAND
Head of AntI-Dreyfus Movement In
Army No Longer In
France


PARIS. Aug. u.-(special Cablegram to
The Bee.)-once more the greatest drama
OF modern times has supplied a change Of
scene
General Mercier, who was among those
who bounded Dreyfus to Devils isle, has
left France for England
The French newspapers state that he has
fed from Paris to escape the odium that is
now cast on him; that his position in the
senate is impossible to maintain. and that,
while owing to the amnesty he cannot be
made TO suffer for his action in the Drey-
fus case. his career in French public life
is at an end-thus making another In the
long list OF the Dreyfus victims
The flight of Mercier was the direct re-
suit Of a remarkable open letter from NJ.
CASTOR Merry defending his silence He
declared that the generals letters were a
mere subterfuge and demanded that the
full story OF the tragic circumstances
under which the treason was discovered,
with all the dates, and the most minute
details. should at once be made public.
There was, he claimed, no fear of war
with Germany now, and the history of the
night at the Elysee when war with Ger
many was dreaded must be related, what
ever the consequences of this avowal might
be- Passionately he concluded:
For the last time, speak, general! Pub
lie esteem still allows you credit for one
day. Tomorrow 1t will be too late"
Still General Mercer kept silence. To-
morrow 1t was too late.
He was openly denounced in the French
senate and chamber, and being unwilling
or unable to defend himself left France
for England so secretly that it was claimed
that he stole away. 1t was at first claimed
that he was away on a vacation, but It is
now declared his exile is permanent.
