position in England that the vice presi-

chief justice of the realm, having the
supreme judiciary function that in this
country is vested in the chief justice
of the United States supreme court.

SAYS HE CAN CONTROL SEX.
Paris Physician Astonishes Medical
Fraternity With Alleged Discovery.

Paris Physician AstonIshes Medical
Fraternity With Alleged Discovery.
A controversy RACES in Paris over
the announcement of r. Robinson that
he has found a way to control the sex
of the unborn. His experiments have
been made in collaboration with DR.
Carlo Basile of Rome.
Briefly. their theory is that an in
lection of lecithin or of cholin will
cause the offspring to be a female
while the injection of adrenalin will
incline the offspring to be of the male
sex. Lecithin is colOrless phOsphOriz-
ed fat obtained from the cells of ami
mails and vegetables. ChOin is an al
kaline from the bile of animals, and it
is obtained also from egg yOlk and
from animal nerve tissues.
Adrenalin is an extract of the glands
which lie above the kidneys without
any known purpose. Lecithin and
cholin. according to Robinson and
Basile, destroy the male element in
the maternal cells. and adrenalin de
| stroys the female element in the cells.

Today the yellow peril is forgotten
in the presence of the new giant that
has arisen in the east. It is the peril
of the eventual Slav domination of Eu
rope. This is apparent in Germany's
great military preparation.
Since the days of Bismarck Germany
has realized dimly the potentalities of
the vast districts eastward, but it took
the lessons of the Balkan war to awak-
en- the Germans thoroughly to the pos
sibilities of the rise of this great pow
er in Asia and the near east.
And so. in days of great financial
stringency, when the markets are al
ready depressed and Germany and
Prussia are floating loans of 100000
600 marks. comes the startling an
nOuncement that 100000 900 marks,
or $25O,OOO0O0. will be asked for i'm
| mediate armament purposes and a
permanent addition Of 2O0OOO,OOO
marks to the yearly military budget.
The immensely of the contribution
asked can be understood when it is
considered that the annual savings of
the entire German people amount only
to about 4OOOOOO.OOO marks. The
amount asked for military purposes
| therefore. will absorb a quarter of this
to say nothing of the regular annual
budget
Demands Stagger German Public
1t is not alone the immensely of the
sum demanded that has staggered Ger
mans and the whole of Europe as we'll
but also the recollection that when the
addition Of some 10000 men annually
to the standing army was asked las
year the military authorities assured
the nation that the increase asked
would suffice to make Germany stron.
enough to resist all aggression tina
could be expected and to protect al
her interests. Yet now they come witt
an unprecedented demand for 1000
100000 marks and an increase in tn
number Of the army which it was a
first understood would be 10000 year
ly, but now. it is understood, vii
amount to $4,000, raising the standin
army to a peace footing Of more tina
100000.

Kaiser's View Altered.

1t is an open secret that the kaiser
has been averse to any increase in the
army which might appear unwarrant-
ed. In fact, many army officers have
been known. when conversing with
friends on whose discretion they de
pended, to say more or less bitter things
about the emperor's love for peace and
to make dire predictions as to whittier
his very real aversion for war was
likely to lead the country
1t is now reported. however, that the
kaiser has become convinced that the
time to act has arrived and that the
new proposal was inspired by him. 1t
is fairly certain, in any event, that he
is the author of the proposal that 600
100000 marks be raised by taxation on
| the cOuntry's great fortunes and that
! the princes surrender for this purpose
| their ordinary exemption from taxa
! ton.
The emperor has pointed out that
the year 1913 was a year of unex-
ampled sacrifices by the people and
that no better way could be found to
| celebrate the anniversary Of the free
ing OF tTuSSld from the foreign YOKE
than by this sacrifice
The extent of the sacrifice proposed
can be judged from the fact that the
entire taxable valuation of the Ger
man empire probably does not exceed
2O0,OOO,OOOOOO marks. or $4,000, 600
600. 1t is proposed. however. to ex
empt small fortunes up to perhaps 80,

burden on the richest.

No Serious Objection.

The German nation has a right TO be
proud of the fact that thus for no Sc
rious objection has been urged against
the scheme, although it must be ad
mitted that the Prussian bunker" or
gans appear rather lukewarm regard
ing the matter. In general, however
the response has been gratifying. But
the effect on the financial situation of
the empire and as a consequence on
the financial world generally is bound
to be to a considerable extent disas-
trOus.
The money market is already very
tight Peace. in the near east will give
rise to new demands for money. Half
the new Prussian and imperial loan
subscriptions, amounting to 275,000,000
marks, must be paid on March -. A
great many cities have been awaiting
a favorable time for floating loans,
which will now probably have to wait
! still longer.

are to be spent mainly on Notifications
