The Germans have invented new
word for the Illness of the government
insured, and some similar word will be
needed in England soon.
Some employers who pay small wages
find that the number of employees alb
sent from work on account of alleged
illness is from twice to ten times the
number under former conditions, before
workmen and women We're assured of
ten shllings week whenever they laid
off. The doctors agree that there is
an enormous amount of mallingering,
but have not yet discovered any cure.
Many people consider that a week of
leisure. with an income of ten shillings,
is justifable holiday. When the Off
cial doctor asserts that they are not
i'll they begin to denounce the act as a
fraud, and make political capital OF it..
Conservative newspapers are only too
willing to print complaints from the
insured that the insurance act is a fail
ure.
Fourteen million people are now pay
ing their weekly contributions, licking
stamps" the governments opponents
say derisively. Undoubtedly many of
them find fault with the administration
Of the act, and probably some amend
ments will be found necessary New
problems develop every day. An en-
ployer has written to the papers ex-
planning that an employee had been four
or FIVE months in jail charged with muir
Ter. The trial resulted in acquittal. The
employer wants to take back the man,
Dut wants to know who il to pay the
insurance contributions for the time
IF detention in Jail. The act says
nothing on that point.
For the time opposition to the in
iurance scheme, or rather criticism of it,
) the principal political capital of the
Conservative party. Home Rule and
Welsh disestablishment have taken back
'eats as targets for attack. But while
Conservatives declare that compulsory
insurance is failure their leaders do
lot 90 so far as to urge repeal. 1t is
with many people, but wheth-
n it is not popular with the great ma
GRITTY of the insured is still an open
question.

Supposed Meaning of a Re-

IS PLEASED AT
MELLEN RESIGNATION
Committee of Six Named by
New Haven Directors to
Select President

Washington, July lo--The resigna-
ton of Charles S. Mellen as president OF
the New Haven railroad is viewed with
satisfaction in Washington, where the
department of justice and the interstate
commerce commission have been seri.
ously embarrassed by the situation they
have been called upon to handle in the
New England states. On leaving the
cabinet meeting yesterday, Attorney
General McReynolds expressed his pleas
ure over the resignation, as probably
making it easier to bring about better
conditions.
Il hope" said the attorney general,
at indicates a fixed purpose on the part
of the managers Of the New England
roads to work out a scheme for bringing
about a new condition of affairs in har-
mony with the law"
While the attorney general did not
elaborate this statement ii is taken lere
to mean that the department expects
comparatively little opposition to the
dissolution of the merger of the New
Haven and the Boston & Maine. The
attorney general continued;
THE resignation paves the way for re-
organization Of that system upon a new
and firmer foundation for the restora-
ton of railroad power and independence
in New England and for competition and
an operation of the New England roads
which viii be acceptable to their patrons
and the public"
Officials of the interstate commerce
commission declined to comment upon
the Mellen resignation, but the forego-
ing is known to be their view also. For
months the New England railroad situ-
alton has been under investigation by
the commission and the department OF
justice and the recent report of the com
mission upon the New Haven system
made, in the opinion of important Off
Gals here, the resignation Of President
Mellen imperative. The feeling in off.
cial circles all along has been that no
finer railroad properties exist than in
New England, but that they must be
divorced from conditions which have
brought about general distrust of their
fiscal management

SENATE REJECTS SAR-
Castle RESOLUTION
Author Cruelty Declared
Gut of Order-Senator
lAshurst to the Rescue

Washington, July l9.-Secretary oil
State Bryan's policy OF lecturing in va
cation time involved the Senate IN q
bitter controversy yesterday.
1t began when Senator Bristowy ig-
noring the defeat of his resolution di-
rected at Bryan's action, which was ia
blcd by a vote of Il to 20, insisted
upon being heard in Il severe criticism.
OF the cabinet officer.
Before the debate ended, charges and
counter charges between senators on the
two sides Of the chamber brought the
Senate to high pitch of excitement.
Senator Ashurst produced an old letter
of Bristow, indicating Bristow in 1906
had been perfectly willing to take a
his time TO it.
Senator Bristow retorted that Senator
Ashurst had spent over 500 OF public
funds sending private kilograms.
Senator Bristow then criticised the
secretary for newspaper writing during
the last Baltimore convention.
1t was by strict party vote that
the Senate Democrats succeeded, with
out debate, in tabling Senator Bristow's
resolution aimed at Secretary Bryan's
proposed six weeks lecture tour. The
resolution would have called on Presi-
dent Wilson to advise the Senate what
salary would be sufficient to keep Mr..
Bryan continuously at his post, and
was prompted by the seeretary's public
announcement that he was obliged to
augment his pay of $4,000 year by
lectures to meet his living expenses
Senator PoindeXter and Senator Borah
voted with the Democrats to table the
resolution. The vote was Al TO 30. As
the vote was announced, Senator Bris-
tow faced the Democratic senators and
declared: you may shut off debate in
the Senate, but you cannot convince the
American people that secretary OF
state may neglect the duties of his Office
for three months of year" VicePres
ident Marshall ruled Senator Bristow
out of order.

LoNDoNERS DIE OUT.
With the Third Generation Is the Pres
ent Contention.

London. July ia discussion as to
whether Londoners die out with the
third generation. as 50 often asserted,
has been taking place III the daily

would be difficult to find Londoner of
the fourth generation and as result
has removed many curious pedigrees.
Some of them date back two hundred
years, with great-great grandfather
born in the place where the descendant
hopes to die. Most of these come from
districts where trades are handed down
from. father to son, and in almost all
of them it was found that the present
generation were carrying on the business
established by their ancestors. II has
been pointed out. however. that the Lon
doners who make London have been
drawn from the country to the city,
where they do not last long.
