PLAN TO IMPROVE
THE HUMAN RACE
The Classification of All PeO-
plies Suggested.
NUMBER FOR EACH PERSON
Assistant Secretary Hays, Addressing
the Scientists, Shows Way To Ad-
vance the Standard Of the
Human Family.

Washington classification OF
all the peoples of the world in a great
international census, giving each per-
son a number in a single world series
to the end that the human race may
be improved by scientific marriage,
was the plan advocated by Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture w. NJ Hays
in an address before the American
Breeders Association, one of the
organizations making up the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement
OF Science.
AS a means of improving the heredi-
ty Of the human family Mr.. Hays pro-
posed a classification of all human be-
Lings, both as to mental aptitude and
genetic efficiency. Based on such
knowledge as this census would give,
he said, there would be developed a
racial religion requiring the genetric-
ally efficient to produce families larg-
er than the average, and those less
efficient to produce families smaller
than the average
The world numbers, said Mr., Hays,
would serve to join genealogies into
one numerical system so that all re-
lationship could be traced. Each per
son would have a number or percent
. age that could be averaged so as to
give the genetic or family values of
each person.

pointing to the fact that British sol

in the tropics, still stick to the helmet
and can drill and fight without knock
ing it off. American soldiers, General
Funston remarks, use the campaign
hats as pillows too often, and conse-
quently present an untidy appearance.

Neutrality-suspicious. as indicating
the extent of Russian resentment at
the action of the United States in
abrogating the treaty Of 1882, the in
PRODUCTION in the Duma of the bill
attacking the American export trade
with Russia is not regarded with much
concern in official circles here. Even
if the measure should be adopted by
the Duma it would require the ap-
prevail of the Imperial Council and of
the Emperor himself to become law.
In that case it could not take effect
before January l, 1918, because of the
continuance until that date of the
present treaty, with its favored nation
clause.
Indications are that negotiations for
new treaty will not be undertaken
seriously before September. In the
interim the Russian general elections
will have been held and the great
American quadrennial political con-
ventions will have passed into history.
Removed from all likelihood of polit1-
cal influence in either country, it is
felt that the negotiations then can be
conducted in q calm and judicial man

Customs Duties To Be Generally In

Is Aimed At American Agri-

st. Petersburg.-A supplementary
Legislature proposal of a frankly prohib-
tive character was introduced by the
Nationalist into the Duma. 1t is aim
ed directly at the United States.
According to the terms Of the pro-
posed enactment, American citizens of
the Jewish religion are to be totally
excluded from Russia, and in the sec
ond place customs duties are to be
raised by 100 per cent, unless the
Russian normal schedule is lower than
the American. In that case duty
equalling the American duty will be
collected.
The author of the bill states that
the last provision is necessary in or
der to deal with the import of Ameri-
can agricultural machinery.
The remaining points of the pro
posed bill correspond in virtually
every particular with the bill intro
duced on December p by eX-President
Guchkoff for tariff schedules apple
