GERMANY IS BUYING
10000 Freight CARS

Berlin, Jan. 4.-The railway adj
ministration placed orders last week
for 10000 freight cars at cost, at a
cost of $50, 900, 900, with manufacture
ers of five countries, STIMULATING deliv-
cry by the middle of February, besides
utilizing the car works of Germany.
Inquiries made regarding the rea-
sons for urgency resulted in obtaining
the statement that the ordering of the
cars was a precautionary measure, the
general staff desiring to be ready ia
move troops, if necessary, by the first
of March.
This is only proper measure of
prudence, it was affirmed, in view of
THE extensive military arrangements
going on in France, which, among
other dispositions, include the move
ment toward the German frontier of
six regiments of artillery, or 1870 guns.
The ordering of these freight cars,
each of which would accommodate
forty soldiers, is only in consequence
of the French preparations, and must
not he taken to indicate any hostile
design on the part of Germany, whose
peaceful intentions remain unchanged.

OPINION BY ATKINSON
ON MAXIMUM Rate Law

Olympia, Jan. 3. -Attorney General
John d. Atkinson has rendered long
and carefully prepared opinion in re-
Spouse to request from the state rail
road commission on the subject of the
maximum freight laws Of the state.
The attorney general holds that the
act of 1897 establishing maximum
freight rates on wheat, etc, repealed
the prior maximum freight rate laws
of 1898 and that the 1905 act creating
the railroad commission has repealed
the maximum rate law of 1897.
Until the railroad commission for
mally announces maximum rates, the
attorney general says the maximum
rate established by the law of 1897
may continue in force, but he does
not commit himself definitely to that
opinion.
The opinion is considered here to be
of far-reaching Importance. 1t will
he taken up at the meeting of the rail
road commission which is expected to
be held here this week, when a course
of procedure to establish maximum
rates will be decided upon.

Said they will Favor Neither france

In france Explained In . Plausible
r1anner.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Neither the
American ambassador to France nor
the like official to Berlin could treat
of the situation which now exists be-
tween France and Germany in any re-
port which could be published here
without involving him in trouble.
As to the part the United States is
to play in the approaching Moroccan
conference, it may be stated on the
best of authority that Messrs. White
and Gummere, the American dele
gates, will go into the conference alb
sOlutely uncommitted to either the
French orr the German contentious.
The government view is that
America has, by virtue of her ancient
interest in Morocco, rights even supe-
rior to those of any European state in
deciding the critical questions which
will come before the conference.
The basis of this statement is that
America, single handed, made war up
on the Barbary states, wiped out pira-
cluded the first treaty of any civilized
nation with those states, treaty which
has formed the basis of the demand of
every other nation forfavored nation
treatment at the hands of Morocco,
so from considerations such as. the
perpetuation Of the open door and fair
trade for all in Morocco, the Unitep
States government feels that it has
right and duty to participate in this
important conference.
AS to the question of policing the
Moroccan frontier, they stand uncom-
mitted either to the German PROPOSE
ton, which favors the creation of an
international police force, or the
French plan of employing Algerian
police for this purpose.

New York, Jan. 6.-The Times says !:
Upon authoritative information The
Times is able to say that the principal
objects the legislative insurance inves-
tigating committee will seek to accom-
plish in its recommendations to the
legislature are:
/. Effective participation of policy
holders in the administration of COM
panies.
,. An extension of the powers of
the insurance department so that
there will be no question of its right
to supervise the entire administrative
management of insurance companies.
B. A degree of publicity that will
enable policy holders to keep informed
regarding the management of their
companies.
/. Requirements that the insurance
companies shall keep their accounts in
such fashion that illicit relations
with financial enterprises of various
kinds will not be possible without de-
lection.
.. A uniform system of audits.
6. Standard forms of policies which
will not permit of ambiguous and
elusive provisions.
7. The prohibition of rigid limit
alton Of deferred dividend policies of
the tontine form.
s. Additional safeguards against
forfeiture.
3. A requirement that the profits
accruing from the different depart
ments of the business shall be justly
apportioned to the policy holders ell
titled to receive them.
10. Prohibition of the control of
subsidiary financial institutions by
life insurance companies.
II. Restrictions as to deposits car
ried with and loans to banks and trust
companies.
IL. Restrictions regarding invest
ment in corporate enterprises in pro-

is matter of speculation.
Ii. A requirement that insurance
directors or trustees shall not have
business affiliations which will inter-
fere with their judgment in passing
upon financial proposals submitted to
their insurance companies.
ii. A requirement that a greater
proportion of funds shall be invest
ed in real estate, bonds and mortgages
than now is turned into these chan
nels by the larger companies.

SPECIALIST A CALAMITY.

London Doctors Indictment OF a
Modern Tendency ms Narrowing.
1.-The inherent dangers and advant-
ages of the almost universal tendency
to specialize on the part of physicians
and surgeons was the main thesis of
a recent address. delivered by DR.. G.
c. Franklin. Perhaps the most start
ling fact Of the day in connection with
medical education, said DR. Franklin,
Is the apparently inevitable develop
ment Of the specialist. One might be
inclined to ask whether the general
practitioner will, as such, continue to
exist, when one contemplates the sub
divisions OF work that are undertaken
by the specialist. Thus there were not
only special men for the eye, ear,
spine, skin and throat. but for almost
every organ In the body, says the Lon
don Mail.
Two main reasons might be assigned
for this state of thlngs-flrst, the Sc
we're competition which awaits a we'll
qualified man when lie Is about to
start in practice; and, second, the de-
mand Of the public The public did
not believe in universalism as applied
to the practice Of medicine, but they
pinned their faith to some specialist
who had taken up some particular all
ment or organ of the body. "A healthy
specialism." continued DR.. Franklin.
has been described as the practice Of
a special branch of treatment, the
study Of a special domain of knOwl-
edge of a natural and gradual growth,
in the varied experience Of practi-
toner. Something like this has nj
ways existed in medicine. greatly to
Its advantage. and Is very different
from the specialism of what | have
heard described as the mushroom
growth variety. where chcanery and
humbug reign triumphant.
There can be no doubt that honest
specialism has advanced the science
and art OF both medicine and surgery.
particularly during the last thirty or
forty years, bur as has often been OBJ
served in many other lines of human
activity, subdivisions Of labor. while
advancing the best interests OF the peo-
pie at large, have great disadvantages
for those engaged in the work. There
is then the danger that this modern de-
veopment of spccalsm may tend to
produce Il narrower type Of medical
men. who, like the mechanics. will only
know their own departments of work
and he unable to understand properly
the relations of special portions of the
field of medicine To others. or to the
system at large.

the public might derive more help and
