DOCTORS BY THE YEAR.

Lawyers and Keep WeII.

Lawyers and Keep Wei.
From the Pittsburg Post
Many large business concerns and not
few private individuals. having need OF
legal advice. employ lawyers by the year.
And the work OF these counselors is put
forth more 10 prevent litigation than 20
carry 1t TO a successful issue.
Something Of the same idea has been
frequently broached IN connection with
medicine. but the average man is calious-
Is disdainful Of doctors and health pre-
cautions as long as be happens 70 be
feeling all right But let him get a little
sick. and then-he wants a doctor and
relief. quick, and II not forthcoming.
more doctors and more treatment He
endeavOrs 20 atone by intensity and
variety Of treatment 20 make Up for the
neglect, ignorance. or worse that has
made IL ell necessary
If a man were % pay his physician 20
keep him we'll instead OF 70 cure him
when he is sick. there would be less sick
ness, provided that he got doctor not
too closely welded 10 some one OF the
many hobbies which not a few OF the
medical profession cavort around or 50
awfully; and further provided that the
man always did just as his doctor tells
him.
This last condition is quite the crux
OF the whole matter. Il berrays the weak
ness OF the plan Of retaining physicians.
Most men will follow a lawyers advice
implicitly. but they reserve the right 20
modify and interpret medical counsel:
wherefore the sanatOriUnns and the under

Fleet on the Pacific.

While there IS no reason why the
United States should enter into the mad
race for naval supremacy. our actual
needs for defensive purposes are well
defined We have an extensive coast line
on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

protected Such needs make a large navy
imperative. without regard 20 what other
r&tions may dc. At the same time our
government cannot afford 10 ignore the
Increasing strength Of possible antago-
nists. Any policy which included an abso-
lutte refusal 70 authorize the construction
OF additional battle ships each year would
be extremely unwise, as Il would be risking
the proper defense OF the country in the
event OF attack. L IS the height OF folly
20 argue that because no war immedi-
ately threatens. war Is not possible.
History teaches that wars develop sud
denly IN the majority OF cases, and
unpreparedness undoubtedly invites at

Aerial MiIitarism

II dirigible balloon. constructed by an
American inventor, were to make jour
ney from the Atlantic seaboard TO Chi
cago, the occurrence would be hailed as an
epoch-making event Even If the trip
were marred by a slight and readily re-
paired mishap during the critical opera
ton Of landing. the outcome would be
accepted as a marvel and as an inspira-
tion TO further effort
That is approximately what Count Yep
pelin achieved in Germany in his flight Of
456 miles and return without once touch
ing earth. The performance marks a
record in the rapidly progressive history
Of aeronautics. The untoward incident
that prevented the aeronaut from keep
ing his appointment with the Emperor al
Berlin only emphasizes his essential sue
cess. He made a demonstration that
must create profound international i'm
preston. II has set TO thinking all the

For this new development Of the airship

fixed destination and due there at def
mite time. it is impracticable. Its cost
and its factor OF uncertainty are even
more agains. its utility as a freight car

assured certainty would count for little
among the superlative chances Of war.
where risk and expense are not 10 be
balanced against the calculable chance OF
inficting a crushing and perhaps decisive
blow upon the enemy. The English Chan
mel ceases 10 be the military barrier not
overcome since the invasion OF the
Mortimer and the later invasion OF the
legions OF Caesar.
Even the broader protection OF the
ocean may disappear. for both Japan and
Germany are building ships from which
dirigible balloons may be landed. These
are no longer speculative possibilities;
they are advancing rapidly TO the seri-
BUSINESS Of practical perils. II the At
lantic and Pacific seaboaTds OF the United
States are vulnerable 10 such an attack.

Of not repeating Its denial 70 the War

REORGANIZATION OF NAVY.
Are Reforms 20 Come About Under
Secretary MeyerF

tron The New YORK SUI.
Il IS our fancy. mereticious no doubt.
that the entire administrative system OF
the United States navy IS IN dire need
OF reorganization. We do not think.
however. that anything serious can be
achieved by isolated and empirical ao-
ton Our opinion IS that reform should
begin IN the department itself with its
bureaus and the false atmosphere that
has followed their establishment. An
economy here or there amounts 10 moth
ing. No wholesome structure can be
erected upon such a foundation. Let US
assume that Sl35.0o0 a year has been
cut OF through the pay corps OF the
navy yards. The system remains. and
ten times SIS. 900 a year may easily be
squandered under its regime.
What the naval administration needs
Is real reform. The question IS whether
we are likely 20 get it from the Hon.
George Won L. Meyer.

to break through the ice to the south.

large crowd gathered to watch the
efforts of the Mongolian. First she
would go ahead until her nose pushed
several feet into the mass of ice foes.
then moved backwards until again in
clear water. While this was going on
the ice breaker Diana worked into
position. Directly the Monaghan and
sne also lbucked the fields in an at
tempt to break the channel Of Ice inch

way into the channel made by the
Diana and finally swung alongside the
latter and the pair jammed through
rotten ice on the side Of the loe and
then into the deep water.
