Secretary Daniels has been comforting
with Representative Padgett, chairman
Of ;hc House Committee on Naval AZ
fairs, with regard to the bill passed by
the Senate creating the grade Of vice
admiral. Favorable action on the meas
urc is expected in the House. but Mr..
Daniels would like to see some changes
in the bill.
The Senate amended the original bill
in several respects. The change tina.
meets with least favor at the Navy De-
partment is that which changed the re-
tirement age from siXty-twO wears TO
sixty-fivc. This. it is declared. will have
a serious effect on promotions. The de-
partment would like to see the bill fur
thcr amended so as to permit the Pres
ident. IL he chooses, to retain an officer
on the active list until he is siXty-flvc.
instead of making retirement compulsory
either at siXty-two or siXty-fivc. The de-
partment would also have been quite
as well pleased II the number of rear
admirals had been left at eighteen.

Norman Angel.
KNOWS NO CURE FOR WAR
Author of Great Illusion" Holds
Symposium Under Direction of
Local Peace Society.

The only way to stop war is to
stop it"
That was the way Norman Angel,
erstwhile rancher and newspaper writ
er and a dominant figure in interna-
tionaI affairs since the publication OF
his Great Illusion" last night replied
what shall the United stPtes do for
universal peace?"
Angel gave a twenty-minute speech,
touching upon the most salient points
of his 4OO-page. book, and then asked
that he be ''heckled" by the distin-
guished audience gathered in the
Church of the Covenant last night un-
der the auspices of the Washington
Peace Society.
.awar is the failure of human wis
dom" said Angel We must not let
human wisdom fail. We must make
common knowledge of the futlllty OF
war. We must teach the common man
there is faIlacy in that antiquated be-
lief that nations profit by wars.
I'VE Americans believe war does not
pay What do you advise us TO do-

the slums that you may wipe out tuoercu-
losis, are you going to refuse because the

will be the cure for wars.
Don't our army and navy constitute
n national insurance and their cost repre-
sent the premium we pay Tor pro-
t,ction?' was asked.
..That is a curious kind of insurance.
was AngelTs retort. The more you m
sure the greater becomes the danger CT
fire. The head of the English navy says
ENGLAND must have such strong navy
no nation will dare attack it BY that
argument then. to keep peace between
two nations we must let each be stronger
than the other England's insurance is
no good by that argument
Shall VIC settle international questions
Of honor by arbitration nc was asked.
Better by arbitration than by the
cowardly force of the stronger nation.

INQUIRY URGED
OF VIVISECTION
Senator Lane Favors Prison
Terms for Poisoners

DOUBTFUL OF REPORTS
GaIlinger to Introduce Resolution for
Investigation-Matter Taken
DOUBTFUL OF REPORTS

",The practice OF human vivisection is
inconceiyable. cannot believe II. But
II reports are true, most certainly
would favor the imposition Of heavy pen
itentiary sentences on men guilty OF such
outrageous practices.
senator Lane, of Oregon. yesterday
made the foregoing statement when
asked whether he favored the rcsolu-
tion that Senator Gsllinger will intro
duce calling for an investigation OF hII-
man yivisection by the public health de-
partment.
Il have attended the medical schools
Of New York CITY, continued Senator
Lane. "and / will say that during my
time no such practices as have been de-
scribed came to- my attention.
1T gives me pleasure TO guarantee any
support to the resolution proposed by
senator GaIIinger. Having studied med
icIne myself. and having associated with
physicians, / find il impossible to believe
that men of respectable station could be
guilty OF deliberately poisoning children
In the interests Of so-calIed science.
Medical clinics In the West would not
tolerate such barbarity a moment. A
physician who attempted such a thing.
would be ridden out of town on a rail-
and I do not believe the great majority
Of physicians anywhere are in favor of
such practices
Senator Lane is in favor Of Federal
laws governing all forms Of vivisection.
lie declares such laws would check any
tendency toward cruelty. which has
arisen among scientific specialists
To Urge Passage of Bill.
Albany, " Y, Feb. l7.-Aroused by
the admissions from DR.. HideyO No
guchi, of Rockefeller Institute. that he
inocuIated forty six normal children
with the luetin emulsion. and that he
had substituted human subjects for
animals at the suggestion Of DIR. Welch.
Senator Walter r. Herrick. chairman
of the judiciary committee, tonight an
nounced his determination to insist
upon the Immediate passage OF hiSbill
for the appointment OF a commission
10 investigate human and animal vivi-
section and experimentation.
Il must admit that my preliminary
investigation" said Senator Herrick
convinced me OF the astounding bru-
tality and heartiessness of some physi-
clans and surgeons in trying out their
pet theories on helpless subjects. These
facts. however, are insignificant when
compared with the revelations made by
Michael Joseph Whitty, Of the Ameri-
can Institute of Social Service. They
are too startling TO be fifty described
by the strongest OF language.
Il shall urge upon my colleagues the
immediate passage of my bill, framed
to stop these abuses"
