SEYMOUR GIVES GERMANS
LEFT-HANpED COMPLIMENT
Says Relations of Two Countries Are

New York, Oct. 9.-While preparing to
sail on the cruiser battleship InieXible,
after participating in the Hudson-Fult-
on celebrationluhe admiral of the feet.
Sir Edward H. Seymour, commanding
the British squadron, is quoted as ex-
pressing himself, for the first time, on
Great Britain.
I'm my experience with Germans in
all parts of the world" he said, 81 have
always found that they strictly OBJ
serve the proprieties."
Asked whether he thought there was
any probability Of war between Eng
land and Germany, Seymour replied
that the German emperor was the only
person who could answer that question
satisfactorily. Personally he hoped
not, as war today meant great loss of
life and expense which must be met
by taxation, and in his opinion it was
wrong even to discuss publicly likeh-
hood of war between two at present
friendly nations.
do you think Germany is preparing
for WARP" he was asked
Germany is increasing her navy
said Seymour, "but / can not tell you
the reason because do not know it,
The millennium is not vet in sight anc
nations have to be prepared for war
1t is easy to infiame the minds of one
people against the other, and then one
never knows what may happen"

Washington, oct 9-That alcohol in
any form. is but seldom of distinct
value in the treatment of diseases ap-
peared to be the consensus of opinion
of the delegates to the twelfth inter
national congress on alcoholism, held
at London in July, according to re-
port of its proceedings made public by
the public health and marine hospital
service yesterday.
Especial emphasis was laid upon the
extraordinary growth of total abstin-
ence in the British army and navy, it
having been shown that 40 per cent OF
the soldiers in India are total abstain
ers.
Figures were presented illustrating
how marked has been the decrease of
the, use of alcohol in the hospitals of
various countries.
