GEN. HEALTH NEEDS
100000 RECRUITS
Nationwide Call Issued
to Halt Life Waste and
Aid Vitality"

Mobilization of a national health
guard of 100000 recruits, "a first
army of American defence" will be at
tempted by the Life Extension lnstl-
tute, according to a nationwide appeal
for members issued to-day by f. +.
Rittenhouse, of % West 45th ST., presi-
dent of the institute. The aim of the
guard, as set down in the call for en-
listments, is "to prevent life-waste and
20 impress the public with the need OF
upbuilding national vitality and ef-
ficiency."
The purpose is further explained in
these words: To provide broad, patri-
otic organization, which every one may
enjoy without cost of fees or dues; 10
help stimulate the interest of the indi-
vidual in his own health, the commu-
nifty health, and TO give moral support
10 official and unofficial health activl-
ties"
Ex-President Taft is associated with
the recently organized Life Extension
Institute. as are General W. {. Gorgas,
Professor Irving Fisher, Robert W. de
Forest. Charles II. Sabin, Frank A.
Nanderlip and II. A. Ley.
To enlist in the guard the recruit
merely takes this pledge:
That WILL in so far as my circumstances
and opportunities viii permit make sh
earnest effort TO DO these things:
To inform myself upon the subject or per
eoual community and household hygiene, ana
10 myself obey tho laws Of health.

tality and wgor OF our race.
"The urgent need of upbuilding
American vitality" said Mr.. Ritten-
house yesterday, "is especially empha-
sized Just now by the conflict in Eu-
rope. where modern methods of war
fare have made the most extraordinary
demands upon the strength of both
soldiers and non-combatants. This les
son is of special importance when we
consider certain evidence of apparent
decline in the power of our young as

chronic disease.

deaths occurred-2,500 new and pre-
mature graves were flled-in the

Samuel Metz, brother Of Herman A.
Metz. former City Controller, was
found dead in a chair in William
Bohrer's saloon, at IL Wayerly av.,
Newark. last evening. There were
marks Of violence on the body and the
police have begun an investigation.
Mr.. Metz entered the saloon a little
before s o'clock an took a seat IN
corner. lie appeared TO fall asleep.
A few minutes later, when Mr.. Bohrer
tried 10 wake him, he was dead.
For some time Mr.. Metz had been
separated from his wife. He had been
living in a furnished room at l29 Quit
man St. Newark, while Mrs. Metz had
apartments az III Elizabeth ay. She
said last night that her husbands re-
cent convivial habits had brought

WAR ON TRUCK THIEVES
Association Sub
mits Plan to Police Head.

A plan to put stop to the theft OF
trucks loaded with merchandise mas
been brought to the attention OF Pohce
Commissioner Woods by the Merchants
Association. Robberies Of this nature
have been of growing frequency re-
Gently. and it is believed that the same
men have been responsible in large
number Of cases. The suggestions o1
the association, outlined in letter to
the Commissioner, follow:
"That all bridges and ferries be COW
cred by officers and that te lephone con-
nections be made with their respective
stations, so that when the THEFT oI
vehicles is reported such officers may
be promptly notified and watch Kept
on vehicles leaving the city.
"Also that, in view of the fact that
there are stables practically known to
be fences for the disposal or storing
of stolen vehicles or horses, a list OF
such suspected stables be kept in each
precinct station and the loss Of Il
vehicle followed by prompt search OF
all suspected places"

DEPLORES ACTS OF
FOREIGN SCHOLARS
They've Lost All Sense of
Honor and Decorum,
Says Butler.

In his annual report to the trustees
published yesterday, President Mich
olas Murray Butler says the problem
confronting Columbia and other in
stitutions of learning is the European
war. The stand taken by men of sci
ence and letters in Europe, he declares,
shows that they lose not only their
culture but even their common sense
as soon as they drop the microscope
or the pen.
THE dilemma which confronts us"
he says, SIS either to give up the task
of using knowledge and its discipline
as instruments for the elevation of
mankind or TO seek for the cause Of
the present failure and 10 set to work
with renewed and more intelligent
vigor upon long and difficult task.
Columbia University will not hesitate
a moment in making its choice.
at may some day be revealed 20 us
that no small part of present day dis
appointment is due to the structure Of
government in those countries where
the agents of government are not
directly responsible to public opinion.
II may perhaps be found TO be true
that the education of the public opin-
ion of the mass has proceeded TO
point far in advance of that occupied
by the rulers of nations who are des-
ignated by heredity or chosen from
narrowly confined class. If this be
true, a remedy is not far to seek.
"We have just now been treated to
a shocking spectacle, and one which
may well cause us 70 wonder whether
the influence of higher education is as
yet more than skin deep.
Some of the most noted scientists
and scholars in the world have, with
the advent of the war in Europe, appar-
emily lost all sense of what is true,
honorable or becoming. On every side
We find them rushing, like the bitterest
and most untutored partisans, TO the
defence of whatever policy or course OF
action their several governments have
chosen 70 adopt. Scholarship, scientific
or literary reputation. are plainly no
guarantee of common sense and ordl-
nary decOrum.'
Owing to the number of gifts for
specific purposes, which were only
large enough TO get work well started
when the fund became exhausted, the
trustees have adopted resolution that
no gifts will be sought for starting new
work of any kind or for new buildings,
except for the completion Of University
Hall. until such time as the corpora
tion can run without a deficit.
The tuition fee, which, paid on the
point basis, averages about Sl7O, Dr..
Butler considers to be too low. The
question of tuition fees and of adjust
ing he fees in postgraduate courses
to the point system. is now being stud
led he says, and the administrative
officers Of the university may soon be
ready TO lay their conclusions before
the trustees.
Gifts during the past year aggre-
