United States Ask
Release of KroOnland

WASHINGTON. oct. 3L-Formal pro-
test To the British government against the
detention OF the American copper-ladcn
steamer Kroonland at Gibraltar, was
made by the State department, through
Ambassador Page at London.
The British authorities were asked TO
explain why the vessel has not either
been released or sent TO a prize court
The protest also stated there seems TO
be no warrant for the further detention
of the ship. whicl Is bound "a Italy and
Greece. Il Is probable that a protest
against the detention OF other vessels by
Great Britain VIII he made later.
AtteAtion today was called to the fact
that the Kroonland left New York ten

British Send Three
High Officials on
Mysterious Mission

LONDON. Oct. sl.-The British govern
ment has sent three of its highest officials
10 the continent on n most mysterious
and important mission. The delegation
consists OF David Lloyd George, the chan
cellor OF the exchequer; Lord Haldane,
the lord chancellor. and Lord Reading,
the chief justice,
The destination and object OF this mis-
sion is being kept profound secret. Its
Importance Is evident from it's member
ship, and apparently the business to be
transacted concerns both financial and
legal matters Lord Haldane and the
chief justice rank about the foremost au-
thorities upon the law In the United King
dom.
The most plausible report has II that
the three have gone TO Holland and pos
sibly will extend their journey TO the
Scandinavian countries 10 deal with the
matter OF shipment OF goods from neutral
countries into. Germany. II the statements
OF the English newspaper are correct,
Holland and the Scandinavian nations
are conducting flourishlng trade with
Germany through trans-shipment of sup
plies from the United States. and even
from England.
The newspapers OF all those countries
assert that their importations are fo-
their own needs alone. while English pa
pers insist that they are receiving con-
slgnments OF petroleum. grain and food
stuffs generally. which far exceed thelr
normal requirements.

WASHINGTON, oct. 3l.--The Turkish
minister Of finance informed tho French
ambassador at Constantnople yesterday
that the raid of Turkish warships on
Russian seaports took place without inc
knowledge Of the Ottoman government
This information was conveyed In
dispatch today from Ambassador Nor
genthau to the American government.
Mr. Morgenthau added that the Russian
ambassador received instructions at 3 a.

and made an effort to sec the grand
vizier, who pleaded Illness and did not
receive him.
The Russian, French and British am

On receiving instructions to leave Con-

conditions in Turkey lie probably Will

fact that no mention was made concern

that Mr.. Morgenthau felt confident that
Americans throughout tho Ottoman en-
pire would be safe.

mat It was said today that A. Rustem
Bey, the Turkish ambassador here, when
leaving Washington three weeks ago, told

War Summary

The story OF the European war
was again slow in the telling to-
day, but such fragments OF news
as the censors permitted to pass
Indicated that along the North
Sea, the chief point of present
concern for the nations involved.
Il was still n battle OF give and

or immediate interest was q
semi-official note from Rome in
dicating that Italy might take
more definite stand In the strug-
gle. II is said that the island OF
Saseno, commanding the harbor
of Avlona, Albania. ownership OF
which has long been disputed by
Greece and Italy, has been seized
by Italian forces.
The French War office in yes
terday's official statement acknow-
ledged that the firest German
onslaught. shifted few miles TO
the east and south from the coast,
has met with success at points.
Two towns south OF Ypres, in Bel
gium, are mentioned by tho
French as having been captured
by the Germans. Further east, Il
is said, some ground has been won
by the allies. Along the entire
western front, from the sea to Ar
ras, the Germans resumed a gem
eral offensive movement follow
ing the slackening activity of the
last few days, but. according to
the French War office, nothing
has been accomplished on either
side more than alternate move
ments Of advance and retreat.
Further indefinite claims are
made of gains at other points
along the line, which stretches
south and east to the Swiss bor-
der. No word is spoken to con-
firm the unofficial statements Of
last night that the Germans had
evacuated Ostend.
In the east the battle OF mill
lions continues without definite
result. An Austrian defeat on the
east Prussian front is reported by
the Russian embassy at Washing
ton. The last word from the Aus
trian government is that reverses
have been suffered by the Rus
slams at various points in CSIicia.
Turkeys hostile acts against
Russia soon may place It at war
with all the allied powers. II was
said at the State department In
Washington that the diplomatic
representatives Of these powers
are preparing to leave CONSTANT
nople.

The motive power of this column is
optimism. We believe in the power of
publicity. But we deplore false optim-
ism and false publicity.
The current publication of falsely
optimistic accounts of magical and
certain cure" of cancer by radium is
unfortunate to say the least The fact
that eminent physicians are quoted is
still more unfortunate. Their state
ments may not be false; but false de-
auctions and exaggerations are being
drawn from them.
The situation at present is not I'M
like the history of the flying machine
Sensible people did not sell their hors-
es and automobiles Immediately Wright
made a successful flight. Whatever
their dreams of the future might be,
they rerlized that a period of most
hazardous experimentation must pre-
cede the perfection of this new means
of locomotion. The announcement of
a claim of a new cure for some disease
which has .baffied medical science I'M
settles the reason. of large portion of
the public. Such, abandon tried and
efficient remedies upon the first sug-
gestion that better one may have
been discovered.
Cold-blooded analysis Of results of
treatment with radium indicates that
it is useful in fair proportion of
cases. Equally good results are claim
ed for the X-Ray treatment, which is
more available. Neither has shown
results, as yet, which justify abandon
ment of surgical removal of cancerous
growths. The London Radium Insti-
tute has had more experience with ra-
dunn in cancer than anyone The dir
ecto.'s may be assumed to be optimistic
having purchased more radium than
any other institution, In spite of very
favorable experience with radium,
however, operation is advised by them
in all operable cases
Common sense and scientific consid-
erations demand, for the present as
complete removal by surgical opera
ton as possible. Following this, ra-
dunn and X-Ray treatments assist in
removing cancerous tissues which are
indistinguishable from healthy tissues,
even upon microscopic examination.
