NECESSITY FOR RURAL SANITATION

In 1909 the Commission on Country
Life reported that the farm should be
the most hcalthful place in which to
live, and there arc numberIess farm
houses. especially of the farm owner
class. that possess most excellent mod
nrn sanitary convenience3. Still. It Is n
fact that there are also numberless
other farmhouses, especially Of the ten
ant class and even numerous rural
schoolhouses, that do not have the
rudiments Of sanitary arrangement"
says the Journal of the American Med
ical Association. Health conditions in
many parts of the open country, there
fore, arc In urgent need of betterment"
The problem OF rural sanitation calls
Tor consideration from two points Of
view: that Of the possible danger of
Objectionable surroundings and unhy-
gienic practices to the individual on
the farm and his Immediate neighbor;
and that OF the menace which insani-
tary farm conditions may present in
directly to urban communities The
sanitary relation OF the farm to the
city involves almost entirely the pos
sibility of the spread Of actual infec-
ton from country to city through
milk, meat, vegetables and other farm
products. A few years ago II was not
uncommon for farmers to meet with
spirit Of resistance any suggestion
Of hygienic improvements which were
Planned TO diminish the danger Of the
farm as starting point for the spread
OF disease. At times there has ac-
tually been aggressive opposition to
proposed regulations. the object OF
which was dcfcnsible from every I'M
biased point OF view. The milk in
dustry could furnish many instances
in recent times Of actual refusal on the
part OF farm communities to supply
an essential food to the market under
conditions that to-day are everywhere
accepted as rational and necessary.

ference Of the rural community to the
needs Of the urban population Deepen

Justification for War Measures

THE remarkable interview with Dr. Bern
hard Dernburg, reported by James
Creelman and printed in The es-Dispatch
yesterday morning may be accepted as an
authoritative expression Of the German atti-
tude and, SO far as it goes, Of German aims,
ambitions and aspirations. DR.. Dernburg is
one of the abest Of modern German states
men, and he has been the chief spokesman
of the Kaiser in this country.
These considerations make the more re-
markable his treatment OF the German at
tack on undefended cities along the Eng
lish coast. He says:
From military standpoint the justi-
hcation of the German direct attack
upon the coast Of England is that it
will not only demoralize the English
generally, but Will compel them to re-
tain their troops for the defense of their
own shores and cities and thus relieve
the German army largely from the pres
sure of the British assistance the

distinct military purpose. The Ger

idea of the

on their own territory: otherwise the
DO an absolute certainty.
Leaving aside any question of the correct
ness Of this deduction, which is as insulting
as it we'll can be to the British nation con-
ceived to be willing to abandon it's allies in
France and Belgium for the further protec-
ton OF its own Shores DR.. Dernburg's omis-
sion TO answer criticisms OF the essential
brutality Of Staying women and children even
rs an act OF war, is remarkable. If we ac-
cept what he says at it's face value, anything
is justifiable in war which serves a military
purpose. On that theory, it would be en-
tirely proper for the French, should they in
wade Germany, to prop against the walls of
ruined houses the inhabitants Of captured
villages and shoot them down, without con-
sideraton OF age or sex. All the French
would have to do would be to declare that this
barbarity represented an effort to terrorize
the German people and so to induce sub
mission
That, of course, is the method and ethics
OF warfare as savages conduct It, If mere
military efficiency is the proper moral guide,
1t is easy to defend these practices. 1t had
been thought, until last August, that civilized
man universally had progressed beyond that
stage.
