May Extinauish Lights in War.


That the United States has no techni-
caliy legal right to seize a lighthouse OF
Mexico, even in the interest Of making
ravication safe. is admitted. II is also
admitted in case Of war nations have the
tight to extinguish lights. In the present
instance the United States says there is
no war, but Huerta thinks there is, one
OF his ports having been taken, and since
The landing OF the Americans at Vera
cruz he has conducted himself in a man
ncr showing that he, at least, believed
that war had been declared by the United
states.
Following is the full text Of a statement
issued at the Navy Department to-day:

FEUDS SWEPT AWAY
IN BRITISH POLITICS
Even Winston Churchill and
Lord Beresford Seen Walk
ing Arm-in-Arm.

LONDON, Oct. 2s. CBy mail to New
York).-War makes just as strange bed
fellows as politics. Two of Winston
Churchilis most hated enemies have
now become his fastest friends.
ChurchilIs quarrel with Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford has become histori-
col. On one occasion Churchill said of
him: The noble lord is one of these
speakers of whom it might be said that.
when he rises to speak he doesn't know
what he is going to say; while speaking
he doesn't know what he is saying. and
when he sits down he doesn't know
what he has said" Now they are often
seen in the street together, walking
arm in arm.
When Kitchener was leading his army
against the Khalifa in the Soudan he
placed a strict censorship over the cor
respondents. Churchill was one Of them.
After the slaughter at Omdurman when
Kitchener ordered the tomb of the
Mahdi to be razed to the ground,
Churchill wrote homo so strong q
protest at the 'act Of vandalism and
desecration,'' that the matters was
taken up in the house Of commons. OF
course, Kitchener was upheld In doing
what he regarded as necessary, but

tinctly that if any one prefers the
first explanation. he must in justice at
tribute also to the treatment the very
distinct and unusual deterioration in the
condition of certain other patients which
progressed in some of them to a speedy
death.
Aside from these more serious cases
it was shown that about one-fourth of
all the cases receiving the treatment
developed running sores or abscesses at
the place where they were injected, a.
happening which DIR. friedman had
admitted 20 be unfavorable to a cure,

CLOSE PRESIDENTIAL
CONTEST ASSURED
Republicans Would Control EIec-
toraI College on Basis of
Tuesdays Vote.
By John SNURE.

Although the politicians are putting
all sorts OF interpretat tons on the out
come OF the voting Tuesday. with its
heavy wave against the Democrats and
IN favor OF the Republicans, there is
one fact on which all are agreed. This
is that the outcome Of the 1914 cleo
tions insures a hard and close Presi-
dental contest in 1916, so far as can
be foreseen at this time.
It has become 4 debatable question
whether President Wilson can be re-
electd against a strong Republican can
didate. The Presidents friends say he
IS much stronger than his party. but.
on the other hand. il is clear that he
viii have 70 be. on the basis OF present
conditions. il he is to win the Presl-
dency again.
The opponents OF the President are al
ready saying he cannot be reelected.
OF course, this is something that cannot
be told. 1t is impossible to know how
much stronger in votes the President is
than his party, and it is impossible TO
know in advance whether the Republi-
appeal to the people or will put up a
candidate who will command strong
support.
Would Have goo Electors.
Nevertheless. it is an interesting fact
that the Republicans, on the basis of
tho House returns. would have con-
trolled enough electoral votes to have
captured the Presidency last Tuesday
had the people been voting for Presi-
Dental electors. They would have got
not far from 800 electoral votes, which
is comfortable majority of the cleo
tcral college.
1t is obvious that the exact conditions
which obtained in 1914 will not obtain
in 1916. The European war, presumably,
Will be over. The business situation
may be entirely different. Different
questions may be forced to the front
Colonel Roosevelt may be running on a
Bull Moose ticket. and when the colonel
runs personally he will command a lot
Of votes. The Republicans may name
a weak or reactionary candidate. Con-
wherein Mr.. Wilson, who Will undoubt-
edly be the Democratic nominee, will
have a walkaway.
Hope For Control In 1916.
But the situation which the more pro-
gressive of the Republican leaders are
hoping for is one in which a strong,
progressive and vigorous candidate will
be put up by their party. They hope
TO show in the next two years that the
Republican party in Congress is no
longer the party OF the days of Aldrich
and Cannon, but a rehsbilitated and up
to-dste institution. That being so, they
believe they can regain control two
bears from now.
The Democratic and the Republican
no
one OF the biggest battles in the his
tory OF American politics is looming up
ahead. Already the leaders about the
President are planning for II. and some
ronferring has been done thus early IN
the game. That important conferences
among Republicans will be held here
about the time Congress meets is TO
be expected.

Indirectly. the report calls attention
to the sordid and pitif,ul effects of
greedy exploitation, by saying that
these phases of the matter will not be
gone into. It is in effect a carefully
worded, concise, polite, indirect excoria-
ton of DR.. Friedman. 1t refutes his
claims to a cure for the great white
plague.
The statement referring to the report
follows:
This remedy was so widely heralded
by sensational newspaper notice, that
it seems safe to say that there could
hardly be person of adult years in
the country who did not hear something
about il, or a victim of tuberculosis VINO
did not experience a thrill Of hope or
speedy and complete cure. The report
naturally does not deal with the pitiful
and sordid details of the scenes ensu-
ing upon DR.. Friedmann's advent, OF
the crowds of invalids. many of them
penniless. battling for chance to take
the treatment, Of the greedy eXploita-
ton of hopeless cases who happened to
have money, and the turning away or
those who did not. The report details
merely the medical observations made
on certain patients. the laboratory
studies on the culture used by DR..
Friedman. and refers to the moral
peculiarities Of the doctor, only sufff-
ciently to make IL clear that II was MS
own fault that the investigation was not
continued longer and upon a greater
number Of suitable cases.
1T is pointed out that the manner in
which DR.. Friedman presented his
claims before the Berlin Medical So
ciety made them paramount to con-
tention that he had discovered at last
the sovereign cure for tuberculosis in
all its forms, provided Of course that
the disease had not already progressed
beyond all hope Of recovery.
''These claims the report takes up in
detail, and then draws the deadly par
allel between them and the results Of
the application Of the treatment to
patients under the observation Of the
service doctors.
