A War of Type in Germany.
rom the New York World,

From the New YORK world
Because of an increasing use of Roman
in place Of Gothic letters In Germany
some six hundred men Of eminence In let>
ters and science have prepared an APP
peal to their countrymen to hold to the
old custom, to maintain the old type.
They assert that the use OF Roman char
acters is a surrender to foreign influence:
that no man can be q true German IL ne
Yields to that weakness.
That is but another evidence of the
stubbornness with which the old order
holds its own against any innovation OF
new age The Gothic letter. a device OF
the middle ages. was eXcellently adapted
to the uses OF monks. who delighted IN
ornamental script. skillful penman
with lifetime at his disposal in the quiet
libraries of the monasteries could make
a page of old English or German charsc-
ters look more wonderful and more beau
tiful than a page Of Latin script When
worked out In inks OF various colors ana
illuminated with rich designs the posi-
hiIities az the old type were many. But
since there Is no longer much demand Tor
new works of that kind the old advantage
has turned to disadvantage.
The use of Gothic type makes the ac-
ouirement of German more dihicult and
the writing Of German almost an impos-
sible art to the average foreigner. It
also hampers the German himself. tho
tendency toward using the simple Roman
characters is therefore not a weak con-
cession to the foreigner. but wise re-
gard for German convenience To neht
against II lis to maintain a conservatism
as futile as that which once attempted In
this country to retain the old spelling OF
honour and ''musick' The world
moves slowly toward simplicity, but it
moves steadily despite the learned.

CALLS INTERVENTION ABSURD,
Harry o. Sandberg Would Let Mex
leo Settle Its Own Troubles.

Harry o. Sandberg of the Pan-Amer-
lean Union made an address on the Mex
lean situation before the Collegiate Club
in the Eighth Street Temple last night.
He declared that the talk of Intervention
in Mexico by the United States govern
ment was absurd.

the conditions there at present, or fear
injury. let them get out" said he. Mex
leans must work out their own saliva

gressive republics of the southern hemi-

SUNSHINE COMING LATER
Present Weather Conditions
May Continue, However,
Until Tomorrow Night.

Sunshine by day and starlight by
night-but not right away-are as
surances given by the weather prophet.
Clear skies may be visible tomorrow
morning: il not then, perhaps by tomor-
row night.
Rain all day and throughout the
night are the probabilities. Tomorrow
may be just as bad. but there Is hope
that conditions will improve within
twenty-four hours.
Cool weather is here and will re-
main. to quote the soothsayer. but it
will not be much more or less frosty
than the chill in the atmosphere Of this
very minute.
General Forecast.
The prognostication Is for cool weather
throughout the country. except in the
Pacific coast states. for the rest of the
week
Frosts are probable in the plains
states. the upper Mississippi valley and
thence eastward along the northern
border.
The next disturbance Of Importance
to cross the country will appear in the
far west Thursday or Friday and pre-
vail over the middle west near the
close OF the week. This disturbance
will be followed by decidedly colder
weather.

of the public health and marine hospital

about nine. He is not only badly stunted
by the disease, but is so anemic that he
would hardly bleed IL he had a hole
punched in him
One of the most interesting facts for
the sanitary workers Of the south is told
by DIR. Bass of New Orleans, who has
succeeded in growing the malaria para
site outside the human body.
There have been no fresh Developments
in the treatment of pellagra. DR.. Laven-
