cause he has used the word graft"
freely. Broadly, his charge is that
officers have formed a league for the
PRONUNCIATION of war spirit, which will
result in more expenditures for more
battleships. He believes in what he
says, too; and he has made the state
ment that the U. S. S. Oregon can lick
any six ships in the Germany navy.
The navy men say the Oregon is now
a back number. The thing which pro-
vokes the chairman of the committee,
Representative Padgett of Tennessee,
is the fact that Uncle Sam" Wither-
spoon has produced the unchanging
record-he read from a speech Mr..
Padgett made under a Republican ad-
ministration in which the present
chairman of the naval affairs commit
tee inveighed against appropriations
for a big navy and declared it was use
less. Now that Mr.. Padgett is chair
man of the naval affairs committee he
must support the administration plan
for two battleships, but he asserts
that times and conditions change and
we must change with them"
Mexico Used as Illustration.
One would suppose that coming al
most at the same moment with the
crisis at Vera Cruz, that the naval ap-
preparation bills entry into the house
this year would have been marked by
an utter lack of small navy" talk.
However, the wiley logicians of the
house peace and small navy element
used the Mexican war clouds in this
way:
you have said all along that a big
navy would insure peace. You have
a big navy and war now threatens
If a big navy cannot insure peace, why
have a bigger one?"
Every year the smaller navy men
grow stronger and the peace advocates
increase in number. They voted unan'
imously In the house a few weeks age
to adopt the Kensley resolution fav
oring a naval holiday" of two years
along with the rest Of the big powers
of the world Then many Of the same
men voted for the Presidents warlike
resolution which sent troops to Next
co: and further many of the men who
were ready to back the President In
war have endeavored to have the
house vote for a smaller navy.

Our Unused Resources.

According to a recent announcement
Of the department OF agriculture at
Washington, of the 1,140,000,000 acres
of tillable land in the United States,
only 81 per cent is being actually cul-
tivated.
What per cent of church members
are being actively enlisted in the
great work of extending the kingdom!
If our unused resources could be
called into play, how light our task
would be, and how simple it would be,
for the Christian church to obey the
command to go into all the world and
preach the gospel to every creature.
Chinese Students in Europe.
A large number of Chinese students
go to Europe every year for the pur-
pose of study. The large majority are
sent over on scholarships few by
the British government in the colonies,
the rest by the central or provisional

government students a small number

Washington May 16.-The annual
battle Of words over the naval appro-
priation bill has just been concluded
in the house, where oratory always
runs riot on two supply measures-the
naval and agricultural budgets.
This year the attitude of the small
navy" faction has resulted in almost
an open split in the naval affairs COM
mittee, in charge of a $139,OOO,OOO
measure which provided not only for
the maintenance of the existing fleet,
but for two new dreadnaughts, six
cruiser and a good sized feet of tor
pedo boats and submarines
Each year the spirit of the warlike
''big navy" men rises and belittles
and sneers at the pretensions OF the
smaller navy advocates who cry
graft" and claim that the steel trust
is the real spirit of war and that it
works upon the navy department in
such a manner as to produce an an
nual recommendation for four new
battleships and twelve new cruisers.
The larger navy advocates point to the
fact that they have cut the big esti-
mates OF the general board of the navy
about in half, as far as the increases
in the navy go, and then proceed with
a program of oratorical effort.
On the side of fleet of many ships

mouth of Santiago harbor, and be-

Fred C. Kelly, the well known Wash

Mississippi's distinguished senior
United States senator
"Old John Sharp Williams looks so
savage that he would be the last man
in the senate that one would suspect of
being full Of mischief. Yet the other
day Old John Sharq sat in the cham

dull hour by shooting paper wads with

INDUSTRIAL WARS.
(Memphfs News Soimitar.)

The industrial wars are more deadly
than any other kind The number of
people engaged considered, more peo-
pie were killed in the West Virginia
mine explosion than in almost any bat
tie of history. Had the mine owners
obeyed the law, there would have been
no explosion of accumulated dust, and
no lives lost. But mining is not the
only industry in which industrial war
fare is carried on. Under our com
petitive system these wars are found
in every great industrial activity,
where women and children are COM
PEELED to work under conditions that
are destructive of life and health. The
frail little bodies that are rendered
helpless by overwork, sthnted and ar
rested in development, and the minds
and souls that are crushed and
cramped, are the victims of homi-
infinitely worse than physical death,
When we reflect that there is no reason
for all this, and that the world can
live comfortably and happily if our
laws of distribution were intelligently
revised, to the end that the few would
not be given so much, and the many
given so little that the sons of Mary
would not be permitted to lead the life
Of the voluptuous parasite, while the
sons of Martha are Gibeonites, who
must forever hew wood and draw wa
ter for their masters, the incident
against our ignorance of economics is
complete.

The possibility of war with Mexico ,
has been before the people FOR some
time: il a general war occurs 1t means
invasion of Mexican territory. The
question naturally arises, What are
the disease dangers which will con-
front American soldiers in Mexico? 1t
has long since passed into trulsm
that in war, disease kills more than
bullets. Will this prove true in
Mexican war? The increased knowl-
edge of preventive medicine since the
Spanish war has encouraged
the belief that the mortality from
disease will be materially lessened.
| To what extent is this belief justified,
and what are the diseases from which
our troops may suffer in tropical
country and from which they should
be protected? These questions, which
have probably been in the minds OF
many of our people during the last few
weeks, are answered in recent issue
of the Journal of the American Med1-
cal Association.
| Aside from the ordinary diseases
which might prevail among any body
or two or three hundred thousand men,
there are certain diseases to which
soldiers in camp and in the field are
particularly exposed. These are espe
cially smallpox, typhoid fever ant
dysentery. Smallpox may be disre
garded, as any troops sent into Mex
leo will be immune from this diseas,
through vaccination. Typhoid fever
in the past, has been the awful
scourge of military camps. The ap
palling experience Of the Spanish
American war has not been forgotten
by our people; the record of twent.
thousand cases Of typhoid in the Arm
} in six months produced an impression
which can never be obliterated. Blu
since then progress In preventive med
icine has been made, and vaccination
against typhoid is result.
Triumph OF Preventative Medicine.
Anti-typhoid incubation has bee
subject to rigorous tests on a larg
l. scale in the Army during the past tw,
4 years, with the result that in 1919
out Of ninety thousand men at hom,
and abroad. there was only single
case of typhoid fever among the inocu
! lated, a record that can well be re
= garded as a triumph for preventive
medicine. 1t is believed that the army
surgeon now has a weapon against
typhoid that will make the next wal
= unique in this regard. Every Officer
and man now in the United State:
Army and Navy is practically saft
against this disease, and each recruit
!, will be inoculated at the time he il
sworn into the service. The next cam

Army will participate will be prac

726 Moss ST., Reading, Pa.-"About
four years and a half ago l noticed
little red pimples on my legs. They
began to itch me and finally they be-
gan to spread over my body. 1 was
getting worse every day at work and
l had no rest. 1 would have to scratch
under my arms, then my legs, walk a
few steps having a little relief, then
1t began again on my body, then legs
again, then my back until l was nearly
crazy, for it was an awful torture. I
would go to bed early and all l would
do was roll around scratching my
body all the time. In winter my body
and legs were covered with eruptions
from scratching and rubbing so that
I could hardly stand it. l could find
no relief. When I would take M bath
in the evening l would have to take
off my underclothing carefully from
my body and legs. I was tortured by
that awful irritation.
