to use the culture. In only sixteen
States will the sanitariums be amenable

else the regulation of the treatment will
be under the supervision OF the State
food and dairy commissioners.
In only three States in the Union are
the State boards of health given spe-
c.fic authority over the use OF such cul-
lures. These are New Jersey, Lpuisi-
ana, and New York. The Connecticut
board is empowered to regulate the Con-

provision.

AMUNDSEN'S VESSEL .
TO USE NEW CANAL
"Fram' Will Be First Vessel to
Pass Through big Ditch"
Dug by Government.

The ship Fran, selected by Capt.
Road Amundsen to carry him and his
party to the North Pole next fall. will
be the first vessel other than the United
States warship to pass through the
Panama canal. Colonel Goethals.
builder of the waterway, and Secretary
of War Garrison. have given the ex-
plorer this permission. but because of
the possibility OF land slides nc definite
time for the actual transit Of the little
vessel can at present be announced.
Captain Amundsen today Informed
Secretary Garrison by letter that he
would direct the Fran to meet him
this fall at Panama, and that he would
wait the convenience of the United
States in permitting passage through
the canal.
II naturally understand that the pas
sage of the vessel Is entirely dependent
upon the condition of slides, but I also
realize that even II the same should
delay me for a few months, Il would
still be of immensely more advantage
for the Fran to pass through the canal
than to go around South America, /"

GUATEMALA DEBT
THORN TO WILSON
President Must Pursue "Big
Stick" Policy or Permit an
English Occupation.

Until Secretary of State Bryan re-
turns from california, no action will be
taken by the State Department on Qua
temala's appeal against British reprisals
for non-payment of debt.
President Wilson will be compelled to
place himself on record either as ia
voring a policy closely similar to that
of the Taft-Knox regime and akin to
dollar diplomacy or to puruse a
hands off, policy which might result
in the shattering of the Monroe doc
trine.
Guatemala owes more than $4,000, 600,
including principal and interest in ar
rears, On her foreign debt alone, the
bonds of which are held in London.
In 1895 Guatemala flcated these bonds
10 pay off her debts and guaranteed the
interest by levying special tax of
$l.50 a quintal on coffee expectation.
She paid this interest for three years
only and since then the British govern
ment has been pressing for settlement
without gaining any satisfaction.
President Taft swung the big stick"
over the head of Guatemala and served
warning that the United States would
be compelled to take UP Great Britain's
CidlfQ anu IOfCe payment. IL Hudtc-
mala did not take the initiative herself.
Guatemala has sent special envoy
TO the United States, Antonio Batres
Jaureguay. to appeal to President Will
son and Secretary of State Bryan.
Guatemala believes the United States
should prevent her humiliation at the
hands of a creditor nation, while the
United States has always taken the po-
sition that she must not seek to evade
her just obligations.
The United states cannot well object
to Great Britains establishing herself
in Guatemala to collect customs to pay
interest on the debt il this nation does
not do this. under the Monroe doctrine
custom.
To permit Great Britain to do this
would be the first infraction of the
Monroe doctrine since 1t was formula
ted. On the other hand, if the United
States espouses Great Britains cause
with too much emphasis. the cry of
swinging the big stick" over the Latin
american can again be raised by Gen.
tral and South American agitators as a
means of arousing prejudice against
the United States.

ANTtHAz|NG ORDER
MEETS APPROVAL
Capital University Heads Give
Endorsement to Daniels Ban
on Practice at Annapolis.

The anti-hazing order to middies at
Annapolis. issued last week by Secre-
tary Of the Navy Daniels. Is met with
the highest approval by the presidents
of local universities, who, in their own
schools, tolerate no such action on the
port of the students.
According to the Washington presi-
dents, hazing is rather a rare thing.
This is chiefly because the students
live in their own lodgings about the
city and are not concentrated In dor
mitorics. Also the average ages of the
university students would indicate a
more serious trend of mind than those
students of the academies seem to
possess.
The Rev. d. ]. Donlon. S. j., president
of Georgetown University, said:
There Is no hazinS at Georgetown.
That form of college spirit ms never
taken root here. We would not toler-
ate 1t for an instant, IL it cid"
Rear Admiral Charles Herbert Stock
ton, president Of George Washington
University said:
I'VE have no hazing The students OF
George Washington University are a
serious-minded set Of young men who
arc studying. not playing pranks. There
never has been any here, and there is
not even a rule against 1t. We have no
trouble in a disciplinary way at all
Dr. William NJ. Davidson, superin-
tendent of schools. declared there had
not been a case of hazinS that he re-
membered since he came into office.
I'VE haven't any, he said. 1T is
not tolerated, and 1t Is very uncom-
mon.' ...--.
The Very Rev. Thomas J. Shahan.
rector of the Catholic University, sta
ted that there was no hazing there.
.'It would not be tolerated for an in
slant. and the students know it," he
declared.
