WAhAMAKER'S TRANS
ATLANTIC WINGS
Intrepid Aviator is Planning
to Make a Flight Across
the Ocean

New York, Feb. 6.-The success
OF Rqdman Wanamaker' flying boat
in crossing the Atlantic ocean in
single fight will depend almost en-
tirely upon its motor, according to
ayiators and aeroplane constructors,
who have revealed that other ma
chimes were either in process Of de-
signing or building with a similar
object in view.
Through the Aero Club of Amer
ica, Mr.. Wanamaker last night an
nounced that Glenn Curtiss was
building to his order an immense
will be made this summer to cross
the Atlantic.
When the order for the machine
was placed Mr. Curtiss told Mr.. Wan
amaker that in his opinion motor
could be perfected of sufficient power
and endurance for an over-the-ocean
flight. His and other aviators' ex-
periences had proven, he explained
tn Mr.. Wanamaker, that motor
can be run for forty to fifty hours
without mishap. The Wanamaker
fiier is designed to make the ocean
fight in fifteen hours.
Alfred J. Moisant, who admitted
that he was working on an airship
for an ocean fight, was of the opin-
haS hr
modify his plans as to motive power,
substituting a 500-horsepower motor
for the 200 horsepower motor which
his announcement says he contem-
plates using.
Mr.. Wanamaker in commenting
upon the proposed flight declared
that it's accomplishment had been a
cherished vision of his for years. His
| purpose, he said, was in the interest
of world peace, and by this he ex-
| pected a trip over the ocean in one
flight would awaken the world to a
realization of the tremendous i'm
portance of aviation in warfare.
! In announcing the flight will be
surely undertaken this summer, the
Aero Club on behalf of Mr. Wana-
maker has asked for the cooperation
of all persons interested in seeing
America first to conquer the all
routes between the United States and
Europe and also the cooperation OF
the United States weather bureau
the navy and all owners of pleasure
yachts and merchant vessels.
Wanamaker's route will be from
st. Johns, n F., to the Irish coast
1t calls for 1900 miles of continu
Gus flying to be done, if possible, be-
tween dawn and nightfall of a single
day

AN AMICABLE
ADJUSTMENT
With Japan in Regard to Exclusion
is Hoped for by Secretary of
State Bryan

Washington, Feb. 6.-Secretary
Bryan urged the House immigra-
tion committee yesterday to take no
action on the Raker bill for exclus-
ion of Asiatic immigrants DipIo-
matte negotiations between the Unit
ed States and Japan over the Califor-
MIA anti-ahen land laws and the
whole question of the Asiatic exclus-
ion was discussed behind closed
doors. The secretary bound repub1i-
cans and democrats alike to secrecy
and told them the administration
needed to be free from legislative
embarrassments in dealing with the
situation.
1t was generally understood that
the wishes of the state department
would be respected and that no effort
would be made to press the bill be-
lore the committee at InlS Llne.
Secretary Bryan told the commit
tee that unless some untoward cir
cumstances arose he hoped for an
amicable adjustment of the japanese
question. An agitation in Congress
at this time, he declared, would be
most unfortunate.
Representatives Raker and Hayes
of California were the only mem
bers of the committee inclined to op-
pose the wish of the secretary that
action in the matter be indefinitely
postponed.

Shepherds Great Speech
CONTINUED from Last Week.

In France where the government
is in the clutches of the liquor traffic
on account of the electorate power of
the distillers, wine growers and sa-
suicides has nearly trebled in so
years, where lunacy has nearly doubl-
ed in 80 years, where the resisting ca
pacity of the citizen has become so
weakened that tuberculosis takes of
$50, 900 victims every year, where
statistics prepared by the ministry
Of justice show an enormous in
crease of crime on account of drink,
the French academy of medicine has
demanded the suppression of alco-
hclic liquors and a national league
against alcoholism has been formed
whose membership now exceeds
100000.
In Spain an anti-alcoholic league
has recently been founded and is al
erland abolished all traffic in alb
sinthe by popular vote in 1909, and
the prohibitive idea is gaining large
headway among the people as to all
other forms of alcohol.
| In Italy, where, until four years
ago, wine drinking was practically a
| universal custom, representatives of
the government have been collecting
statistics as to the effect of alcohol
ism in that country, and it is now
generally recognized as a national
menace. In 1898 an Italian temper
ance federation was organized at
Milan 1t embraced all the temper
ance societies of Italy and it is Civ

the guns. He noted a good many oth- CT things, all of which notations bore results. Today all battleships have an electrical system of interior com munication, which is Fiske's. They have a boat detaching device and electric ammunition hoists and range indicators and battle order telegraph and helm indicators and a dozen and one other improvements which are tiskes Other men have bettered the armor and guns. But the test of ar nor versus gun does not come until ship has been hit by a projectile. In the Spanish war days the percentage of hits is reported to have been about one in six. Today the percen- tage at target practice is about five in six. Fiskes range finder and tele- scope sight did the trick.
 In naval circles Fiske is somewhat noted for his candor. Most people held immediately after the battle of Manila bay and Santiago that the Americans were superior to the Span iards at every point Fiske thought then-and has never changed his opinion-that the American fleet was but the instrument of a higher power. Given ordinary battle judgment on the part of the Spanish admiral, and he fears that not an American ship would ever have gotten out of Manila bay. But he tempers his criticism of the bad shooting of the Americans with enthusiastic praise of the Amer jeans themselves. Although wrought up to high nervous tension, they worked with cold precision at their battle stations. And under their skins they were fairly wrigglng with hap piness at the fun of the fighting.
 "When Admiral Dewey ordered us to cease firing and go to lunch" said he, "I came down from the improyis- ed coming tower. My hands were covered with the powder dirt and I offered to wash them Half a dozen messmates called to me: Don't wash off that dirt!" they shouted, We don't get a battle every day.

 The liberal press is inclined 10 con- slider the regulation a decided victory for constitutionalism It regrets. however, that such an important re- 2uation, affecting the rights of all citizens, can still be made in Germany without consulting the Reicsstag, and is somewhat disgusted over new provision covering the cases in which a soldier may make use of his wea- pons. To cases where life, limb and property is threatened by an unlaw- full attack are added cases of "au at- tack upon honor' This is most elastic problem, and critics of the new order recall that Lieutenant yon Fonster justified his sabering of a lame shoe maker by declaring that he acted in defense of his threaten ad honor.

FRIEDMANN'S CURE
 PROVES A FAILURE
NOT A SINGLE PATIENT TREAT ED WITH HIS SERUM HAS
 SHOWN IMPROVEMENT.

Washington, May 9.-In a paper en- titled Subsequent Report of Patients Who Received Injections of Fried mann Vaccine a Year Ago. Dr.. George Manufacturer of New York de- clared emphatica ly before the Clinic al Section of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu- berculosis here today that the Fried mann vaccine had exhibited neither curative nor preventive powers and that it could not therefore be recom- mended
 'ln March, 1913" said Dr. Mann, heimer, eighteen patients were treat ed under my supervision. Of these, fifteen can be followed up, and Of that number three are dead. The number of injections in these cases were one, two, and four, respectively Of the remaining twelve patients, ten received one, and two received four injections. Five of the ten patients who received one injection developed abscesses at the site of the injection and were therefore unsuitable fof further injections, according to the inventor. The other five patients were not reiniected, either because they did not see the improvement they had been ed to expect or be- cause they had become worse an1 had lost confidence in Friedmann As to their present condition, five of them are now unchanged and five are worse than a year ago
 "One patient, who had four injec- tiols, feels well and presents signs of an arrested lungprocess, but he has not gained in weight and has de. veloped a new tuberculous process in another part of the body. The second patient with four injections has tuber- culosis of the knee-ioint and is now decidedly worse than before The in- Nitrate of the fourth injection broke down and discharged pus.
 Where abscesses resulted at the site of the first injection, the vaccine apparently produced no additional harmful effect The disease remains uninfluenced. Friedmann neglected to prevent abscess-formation, al though he claimed to know how. To be very charitable, one might judge from one single case, that decided natural healing tendencies, aided by common-sense treatment, will not be hindered by the remedy. When in a quiescent case the first subjective and objective symptoms of a new out break appear and one wishes to check 1t, the remedy is absolutely worthless for that purpose. It cannot prevent the tendency to spread. if a case is so disposed. The method of it's admin istration has been anything but care fu and intelligent For these req. sons, and on account of the absence of curative and preventive powers in this series, it cannot be recommend ed.
