WAR ON SICKNESS

War has been declared on industrial sickness by the American Association for Labor Legislation. Following the successful campaign for accident com pensation which now has captured the principal states, a committee of the nations experts who have been work ing quietly on plans for a year and a half, declares that sickness insur- ance must be established with en- phasis on medical care in order that it shall lead to campaign of health con- servation similar to the safety first" movement resulting from accident compensation. The committee in- cludes such leading authorities as Henry R. Seager, Miles M. Dawson, Edward T. Devine and Dr. I. M. Rub inow of New York, Charles R. Hen derson of Chicago University, Henry J. Harris of the Library of Congress, and Carroll w. Doten of Boston, and has the cooperation of expert legis- lative draftsmen and leading repre- sentatives of workmen and employers. The Association for Labor Legislation called the first American conferences on Occupational Diseases in 1910 and on Social Insurance in 1913, and an nounces it is now drafting bills for a vigorous legislative campaign to ini- tiate the movement for sickness in- surance in the United States.

NO MORE VICHY

Our annual imports of mineral wa ters are over 3,000,000 gallons, having a value of nearly a million dollars. Two-thirds of these imports came from Germany, France. and AustNa- Hungary, and as soon as the stocks on hand are consumed domestic wa ters should take the place of those derived from foreign springs. In this connection it is interesting to note that last year the reported sales from S3S commercial springs in the United States were more than 57,000,000 gal Ions. having total value of $5,500,- 900. The recent activity of the New York State Reservation Commission in conserving the natural mineral waters at Saratoga Springs, as we'll as in inn proving local conditions, is of inter est in calling attention to the many opportunities in this country for util- izing such waters similar to those which have made the bath resorts of Germany and Austria famous. There is a somewhat popular but fallacious impression that certain European wa ters have medicinal properties not possessed by any American waters, and many persons addicted to the Ap-

Heroes Not All at Front.
As the song says, ali the heroes do
no 90 TO war, and the warriors at the
front are not the only ones this war
has turned out of doors. The number
of English women who have left their
homes that the Red Cross may have
the use of them for the wounded would
fill a long roll Of honor. Some give an
entire house, like Mrs. Waldorf Aston,
who has loaned TO the wounded Give
den, one of the best known and most
beautiful places on the Thames. Others
can give only room. But all over
England the convalescents have been
billeted in private houses and made
nobly welcome.
Even the children Of England are
helping. The Boy Scouts. one of the
most remarkable Developments of this
decade, has in this war scored tri-
umph of organization. This is equally
true of the Boy Scouts in Belgium and
France. In England military duties Of
the most serious nature have been in
trusted TO them. On the east coast
they have taken the place of the coas.
guards. and all over England they are
patrolling railroad functions, guarding
bridges and carrying dispatches. Even
if the young men who are now drilling
in the parks and the Boy Scouts never
reach Berlin nor cross the Channel. the
training and sense of possibility
that they are now enjoying is all for
their future good.
They are coming out Of this war bet
ter men, not because they have been
taught the manual Of arms, but in spite
of that fact. What they have learned
is Tuch more than that. Each of them
has, for an ideal, whether you call it
a flag. or king, or a geOgraphi-
ca position on the map, offered his
life, and for that ideal has trained his
body and sacrificed his pleasures. and
each of them is the better for il. And
his country will be the richer and the
more powerful.

"The first stage Of the gigantic battle
that began last week is being fought
out in Poland. and the German-Aus'
trian advance has been met by the de-
tcrmined impact Of a strong Russian
force.
All that can be said for the present
is that while this is regarded as the
most serious moment Of the campaign
the general outlook is most hopeful for
the Russians. At several important
points the Germans have been com
PEELED to retire.
"My chief impression formed on my
trip is that Of the extraordinarily fine
quality of the Russian soldier. During
