Inherited Defects Attributable to
Alcohol

The influence of alcohol as a detrl-
mental factor in inheritance is one which
has not readily lent itself to convincing
experimental proof in the past. During
the last four years Professor StOckard
lof the Cornell university medical school
/ in New York City has been engaged in
a study OF the effects OF alcohol in hered-
! ty He has demonstrated eonclusiNely
that the germ cells OF male guinea pigs
can be so injured by allowing the IN.
/ diyiduals to inhale the fumes OF alcohol
| that they give rise TO defective offspring
Ialthough mated with vigorous females
! The extension of these unique inyestiga-
tions, in which the offspring from the
treated animals which reach maturity
are usually nervous and slightly under
sized, have further shown that the effect
OF the injury Of the germ cells is not
only exhibited by the immediate of
spring of alcobolized animals, but is
conveyed through their descendants for
at least three generations. There are
many instances OF matings; followed by
negative results OF early abortions, still
born young or detectives. An instructive
illustration was afforded in a case in
which two OF the four young animals
were completely eyeess, the eyebals,
optic nerves, and ehiasma being absent.
Such defects result according to Stock.

on the germ cells by the experimental
treatment. Vet this injury may have
been received by earlier generations

TROOPS OF OTHER

At Breaking Out of War We
Had Eight Hundred

Washington, Oct. 24-The probability
of increasing American forces in China
along the railway from Pekin to the
sea because of the withdrawal of troops
of nations engaged in the European con
ilict is being considered by the war de-
partment. The railway and legations
are guarded by troops of the United
States, Great Britain, Japan, Germany,
Austria, Russia and Belgium. Many Of
those have been ordered out since the
war began and the United States prob
ably will supply the necessary addi-
tional guards.
When the war broke out the United
States, at the request of the foreign
powers, extended the American troops
to guard the line from Pekin to Mouk-
den. Major General Barry, command
ing the Philippine department, went to
China to inspect the arrangement and
reported that the guard seemed suffi-
Gent The general opinion here is that
the 800 American troops now stationed
in China will be sufficient.

PRAISES WILSON'S
PEACE MOVE
London Post Says That Despite Compli-

Prompted by High Sense
of Justice.

London, Oct. 24.-"E Evidently an i'm.
preston exists in the United States. y
says the Morning Post in an editorial
yesterday, that there has been criticism
in the British press of President VIII
sons position regarding peace This i'm
preston was fostered by undue impor-
lance attached to certain American
newspaper utterances. During the Civil
war our position toward the United
States was the same as the United
States holds to us to-day. We desired
to see the differences of the North and
South composed for ethical as well as
material reasons. Then, as now, cot
ton was the cause of our anxiety. We
wanted cotton and could not obtain IT,
day the United States has cotton
but cannot sell it. All this, perhaps,
explains the movement in the United
States in favor OF mediation a move
ment which is no doubt encouraged by
our enemies. But the machinati ons of
our enemies and the schemes of others
who would turn the altar into a buck.

dent Wilson, we are told. and there is
no fear that the president viii walk into
the trap President Wilson has shown
himself singularly well balanced, re-
strained and iudicious. He has been
courageous enough to do an unpopular
thing because he believed it right, as his
demand for the repeal OF the Panama
tolls law showed. He dared challenge
public opinion and displayed patience
and wisdom in the settlement of the
Mexican problem, and we feel certain
that President Wilson will do nothing
that is not prompted by the highest
sense Of justice"
