NEW YORK, March 23.-Fuel has been
added to the growing agitation for vivi-
section reform in this city by the utter
ances of DR. William T. Councilman. OF
the Harvard medical school. Members
Of the New York City Humane Society
said TO-DAY that DR.. COuncilman's re-
marks made only the more evident the
need for a campaign TO educate the pub
lie as to the facts of experimentation
with living animals, which, they assert,
has become "a fad in our scientific in
stitutions and medical schools.
Were we unable to continue this ami
NAL exDerimentation," said DR.. Council
man, in lecture at Boston defending
vivisection, the progress of medical
science would be very materially re-
tarded." He asserted. further, that in
the majority of cases the experimental
ton is carried out in a painless way; in
some cases we kill the animals diseased,
often anticipating it's death"
These statements are not taken at
their face value by the Doctors critics.
David BeIais, president of the New York
Humane Society, pointed out today that
DR.. Councilman's assertions were merely
personal opinion, and could not be ac-
cepted as the authoritative conclusion
of the profession Much doubt has
been thrown on the value Of great deal
OF this animal experimentation by sclen-
lists and physicians of the very highest
authority" said Mr.. BeIais.

sion he said. "The loving self-devotion
with which he put his life in jeopardy
for years and injured his health, the
loving self-devOtion with which he
worked against the plague is simply
heroic" Mr.. Forrest asserts that no
one claims for Haffkine s prophylactic
absolute faultlessness, but quotes Lord
Curzon, late viceroy of India and at
present chancellor of the University
of Oxford, to the effect that inocula-
ton has saved many thousands of
lives that would otherwise have been
lost. Lord CurZon speaks of Haff-
kline efforts in words of unreserved
praise and admiration. Indeed, the
history of scientific work presents no
more inspiring record than that of the
Russian teacher and investigator.
1t is the very irony of fate that this
Jewish scientist. who has done so
much for afflicted humanity in IA far
off part of the world, should hail
from such IA place as Odessa, that
wicked. inhuman city, in which his
own compatriots are denied the ordl-

kind, and where they are constantly
made the victims of ruthless persecu-

thus presented between this devoted
Jewish humanitarian. who has sacrl-
feed himself and risked his life to
help his fellowmen. and the rulers OF
his native country and their benighted
subjects. who treat the people OF his
race as if their destruction means the
performance of a religious duty. Then

writer's but one point can be raised
that makes that Satan-devil theory lln-
tenable. In Genesis God curses the
serpent that it should forever crawl
on its belly; in job, however, Satan
ascends even to where God dwelleth
and when asked whence he came he
answers ''From going to and fro in
the earth and walking upand down in
it. Job l., II. From this it appears
that the curse of God had no effect on
the serpent. if the serpent and Satan,
hence devil, are Identical; it dared
even come before God with impunity.
1t is wonderful what idea believers
in devils had. On one occasion Je-
sus drove out the devils that were in
two men, and these devils went into
herd of swine, which ran into the
river and were drowned. The ques-
ton is, were there in those two men so
many devils as to supply the whole
herd with them, or were those devils
so divisible that they could give each
swine of whole herd enough devil
to drown them?
The devil theory is nonsense In
telligent humanity needs no bugaboo
to frighten them away from evil We
ought to be good. not driven by fear
and horrible dread of devil and hell.
but because it is right to be goOd-be-
cause our Father in Heaven. who is
all good, delights in our goodness.
