Berlin, Aug. l2.-The dread of France

n. Aug 1.-The summer, which
month ago looked as II 1t were going
to be particularly hot for the states
men of Europe, has fortunately proved
itself quite harmless. The war CLOUDS
which seemed to gather everywhere IN
the Balkans, in Morocco. and along the
Pyrenees, have again disappeared after
a display of brilliant but harmless light
ming.
When the Kaiser left on his usual
Norwegian summer cruise every one i'm
mediately realized that no crisis was ex-
pected and that the Morocco question
was TO be settled without the roar OF
cannon France was to be scared a ut
tie, partly because the German govern
ment, In view of an approaching elecuoh,
wished to impress upon the minds OF
her voters the inadvisabilfty OF being
too harsh with set of statesmen, VINO,
II not popular at home, at least hao
succeeded in making Germany respected
and feared abroad, and partly because
the German government considered the
moment opportune for adding to Ger
man possessions in Africa.
In reality international peace was not
in danger for a single moment Ger
many was perfectly sure OF what Would
happen. She knew that England Woulu
back up France. and this was why no
German troops were landed at Asaulr'
which might have embarrassed German
Diplomatic retreat, should 1t become nee
essary.
Voters Enjoy French Terror.
The strategem was a success. The Ger
man voters were treated to the sight OF
France in a state OF terror and CONFUSION
because the German eagle Mapped Its
wings, and, this done. the good effect
was driven home with faint clanking
of swords and beating OF military
drums in the press.
The final and most conclusive proof
that the whole affair was arranged for
dramatic effect was given when Russia,
in the very midst Of the crisis and
before anybody knew officially the re-
suit of the conversations, contracted
TO issue a one hundred million mark
loan in Germany By opening negotia-
tions for this loan. the CEar's govern
ment plainly showed that IN St Peters
burg at least, nobody considered the
Agadir incident as anything but a piece
of international blum. country that
Is thinking of going to war Is not the
place to place uninvested cash.
In England. where brains always seem
to work slower than anywhere else in
Europe, II was much later realized that
German action was not meant to be an
insidious attack upon the Frenco-British
entente, and the much discussed speech
of Lloyd-George. in which he issued q
veiIed warning to Germany, shows that
even this clever statesman had been
taken in. It will, therefore, probably be
some time before England realizes that
the entente is considered favorable to
Germany because 1t is anticipated that
thereby Germany will be able to obtain
British acquiescence IN any agreement
arrived at with France.

AND ~ II
IT, x -


DR.. Ramsay's Notion of Os~teopathy.
What could DR.. William E. Ram
say, the member from Middlesex,
have meant when he told the AS
sembly that osteopathy was merely
m~assage?" Was he testing Oh didn't
he really known
The osteopaths, it appears, eschew
massage in toto. Massage has no
place at all In their philosophy. 1t
does more harm than good, accord
ing to their idea, or Is apt to do
more harm than good, because they
claim 1t brings the blood to the sur
face of the body u~nequally and thus
causes unequal circulation and
harmfully distributed circulatory
pressure. Anyway, they have no use
for it.
DR.. Ramsay may MOI have been
aware of this. So many of the doc
tors who have gone to Trenton to op-
pose the osteopathy bill had neglect
ed to learn anything about osteo-
pathy that when they talked at pub
lie hearings on the bill they talked
rank f~oolishness. Members Of the
Legislature who had been benefited
by osteopathic treatment, or whose
families or friends had been bene-
flied by 1t, were the first to note the
deficiency of the doctors informa-
ton, or, if not that, the scope of
their misrepresentation.
The least effective way to oppose
anything is to misrepresent it. Os-
teopathy IS not a form Of q%uackery,
nor a faith cure, nor a blind expert
-,z- t. 10 o9 4hh inFO1Itnan4 nt1bl3a
is aware, and as very many medical
men reluctantly admit, a proved and
valuable science. This Is shown by
the record of cures and by the fact
that all but a few OF the states have
passed laws regulating the practice
Of osteopathy and excluding quacks.
New Jersey Is Of the backward
states which should have such a law.
The doctors themselves are willing
to extend legal recognition to the os-
teopaths, but on terms which are
pTeposterous and against the public
good. They want to control the os-
teopaths, thus making the state a pa
iron Of state medicine by limiting
the healing art to a fixed idea.
Back of all this annual turmoil
over the osteopathy bill is profess
sional riyalry-one class of physi-
clans trying to build a legal fence
around another class. New Jersey
wants no intolerant legislation OF
that kind. Science should not be
put In hobble skirts.
The osteopaths ask for a law cre-
ating a State Board of Osteopathy
for the licensing OF qualified prac-
titioners by osteopaths, not by med
ical doctors. Their bill Is identical
with the law IN Pennsylvania and In
numerous other states. It's educa-
tional and scientific requirements
are as high as those of the medical
schools. This bill should be passed
by the Legfslature.-Jersey City

MORE BILLS TO
BE ACTED UPON
Several big Measures Are
Yet to Be Heard From.
Special Correspondenee.l


Trenton, April 19:-Governor Wilson
has won several notable victories over
the politicians Of both parties of New
Jersey. There seems to be trouble brew
ing in the legislature that would indi-
cate the possibility of still another con-
test. As in the other trials of strength
it is safe to assume the Governor will
win out. The question of the final ad-
journment date is involved in the pres
emit proposition.
Late yesterday afternoon Senator
Prince introduced a concurrent resolu-
tion naming the date for adjournment
of the legislature sine die as Friday,
April 81, at 3 p. m. Mr.. Prince Is re-
ported to have made the remark that
nee the Geran bill was out of the way
there would be little to keep the legis-
lature here. The inference seems to be
that an effort will be made by the
"machine politicians" to attempt to
convince the friends Of the Governor
that having gotten the Geran bill
through-radieal measure and one
which will revolutionize the election
laws of the state-he should be salts
fed.
Corrupt Practice Act.
The Simpson corrupt practices act,
which will be a further blow at bribery
and corrupt practices at the polls, is
still ~slumbering in committee. The com
mission law has passed the House, and
if the will of some of the politicians
prevails, there is a possibility that it,
too, may be smothered in committee.
Speaker Kenney is in no hurry to
close the session. He said yesterday
that he did not propose to leave until
some of the big measures which had
been sent to the Senate had been
acted upon.
Governor Wilson is not concerned
about an early adjournment. In dis
cussing the matter yesterday he init
mated that so far as he was concerned
he would not mind if the legislature
spent another month here. He did give
the impression, however, that he pro-
posed to have action taken on the
Simpson corrupt practices act in addi-
ton to the other "big measures In
which he has manifested such a deep
interest.
off the legislators wish to remain
here any length of time, it is their OPP
tion," he is reported to have said in
conversation with one of the members.
There seems to be an impression that
it will not be plain sailing to get
through on the date named in the con-
current resolution, unless, in the mean
time the Senate becomes ambitious and
actually disposes of the Simpson cor
rupt practices act, the Commission form
of government and a few other bills.

|SEN. SILzeR'S BILL FOR
RETIREMENT OF JUDGES
(Special Correspondence

Trenton, April 13:-If the bill
which Senator Siher introduced the
other day should become a law it
would allow Justice Reed, of the
Supreme Court, to retire on a pen
sion for life of $4,000 a year. JUS
tice Reed has attained the age which,
under the provisions Of the bill,
would permit of his retirement or a
pension. 1t Is understood that the
bill introduced by Senator Silzer has
the approval of Governor Wilson,
although no intimation has been
made by the governor as to his views
relative to the retirement of some of
the judges. The bill may be passed
before adjournment, but there is no
certainty that Senator Silzer can get
it out in time. However, should it
be known that the bill virtually has
the approval of the governor it may
assist its chances for passage.
