FRENCH GOVERNMENT MOVED.
Paris May Become Pivot OF Armed
ForceS-Battle in Air.

Paris. Sept. "a proclamation has
announcing that the government de-
partments will be transferred tempo
rarily to Bordeaux.
The proclamation was issued by
the Minister of the Interior, who said
the decision had been taken solely
upon the demand of the military au-
thorities because the fortified places
Of Paris, while not necessarily likely
to be attacked, would become the
pivot of the field operations of the
two armies.
The building of supplementary de-
fense works is proceeding vigorously.
Several Of the gates of Paris were
closed to traffic last night.
A fight in the air over Paris took
place this evening. Three German
aeroplanes hovered over the capital
and Immediately two French ma
chimes were sent up to engage them.
Meanwhile rifles and machine guns
mounted on public buildings kept up
a constant fire. BY this means one
of the German machines became sep
arated from the others and the
French aviators flew swiftly in its di-
rection. The Germans opened fire to
which the Frenchmen replied yigor-
ously.
The engagement seemed to turn to
the disadvantage Of the German,
who mounted speedily to a higher
level, and holding this position. was
saved from further attack. He finally
disappeared in a northwest direction
over Fort Romainville after a vain
pursuit.
The other German aeroplanes also
escaped the fire of the guns, and af-
ter circling about for a considera Bile
time, disappeared from view.

Psychical research makes no ap-
peal to Sir William Henry Perkins,
the inventor OF coal-tar dyes, who Wis
tied New York recently. He con-
fesses to believing in only one ghost
story and that related to a friend to
whom he gave the name of Snooks.
He explained:
"Snooks, visiting a country house,
was put in the haunted chamber for
the night. H> said that he did not
feel the slightes, uneasiness, but,
nevertheless, just as a matter OF pre-
caution he took to bed with him a
revolver of the latest american pat
tern.
He slept peacefully enough until
the clock struck 2, when he awoke
with an unpleasant feeling Of oppres-
sion. He raised his head and peered
about him. The room was wanly IL
lumined by the full moon, and in
that weird, blush light he thought
he discerned a small, white hand
clasping the rail at the foot Of the
bed
Who's there?' he asked, tremu-
lously. There was no reply. The
small, white hand did not move
Who's there?' he repeated. An
swer me or I'll shoot
Again there was no reply.
"Snooks cautiously raised himself
took careful aim, and fired.
From that night on he limped.
Shot off two Of his own toes"

10000 Russians Landed in France.

London, Sept. 4.-Reports have
reached London from Liverpool that
England has placed more than So
600 Russian troops in France by
transports sent north Of the Scandi-
navian Peninsula to Finland, where
the Cossacks embarked and were
safely landed at French ports.
Because of the mines in the Baltic
and North Seas, and the presence of
the German fleet, it had been re-
garded impossible for Russia to
reach France except by marching
through Germany.

Cause and Control of Cancer.

1t is frequently said that we do
not know the cause OF cancer In
one sense this is true. What it is
that starts the growth of cancer in
the body is, as yet an inscrutable
mystery. Years of experimentation
and research have not solved this
riddle and the disease still remains
the foremost problem Of medicine.
On the other hand we know much
more than is commonly supposed
about the causes" of cancer, If by
causes" we mean conditioning fac
tors" We know, in some cases al
most to a certainty, the combinations
Of circumstances which result in this
disease. A noted authority recently
undertook to write a prescription
for cancer" He said that he could
name certain states of the body,
which, If they occurred together,
would be likely to be followed by
cancer; for Instance, syphilitic sub
jecta witA bad teeth, who were con

tongue. Irritation ior a long period
in any part of the body may lead to
the development Of cancer
While we do not know just why
cancer cells set up a growth Of their
own outside of the law and order Of
the human body, we can neverthe-

ditions under which they have been
observed to do so. The influence of
racial, local and personal habits on
different organs, heredity, the evil

predisposition, the influence Of
chronic Infection of wounds and
other injuries, and many other fac
tors may be profitably studied in
connection with the development Of
cancer. incidentally, this is one of
the ways in which cancer research
hospitals are of value.
1t is not necessary to know the ul-
innate cause of cancer in order to
control the death rate from it. We

under which the disease develops by

facts about cancer. Campaigns of
education have as their object the
spreading Of information about the
disease, and pointing out the need Of
the earliest possible recognition of
the symptoms in order that compe-
tent medical and surgical advice may
be sought in time. The American
Society for the Control of Cancer
has recently been formed to encour-
, age and direct this kind Of educa-
tional activity in all parts of the
country. The society plans to coop
crate with all existing agencies en-
gagged in studying the disease, and to
publish in every city, town and viii
lage of the country the message Of
hope which lies in the early recogni-
tion and proper treatment of cancer.

We have nothing to say against
the very idea. In this age of civiliza-

But what we want to make known
is the fact that the same leaders"

leaders" who applauded the war,
who urged our people to go and fight
the enemy!
