CRACKED HEAD THAT
HEALS HELP TO BRAIN
Results In Regeneration Of
Tissues, Says Professor.

Chicago.-For fifteen years Charles
Manning Child, associate professor of
zoology in the University Of Chicago,
has been experimenting on plants and
animals to solve the problem of youth
and age. AS the result, in his "Se-
nescence and Rejuvenescence," Pro-
fessor Child turns upside down a lot
Of current notions about growth and
death.
He prescribes regular fasts, provid-
ed no organic disease exists. He sug-
gests vacations or changes in mental
occupation after long continued men,
tai labor in a particular field. The ef-
feet Of change is the regeneration of
the nerve cells, he finds, and this
means the nerve cells are built up
anew as in youth.
Professor Child utters a warning
against overeating. Overnutrition, he
says. increases the rate of senescence.
All life, he points out, is a develop
ment toward senescence and death.
Natures idea is to build up a man,
nave him do his duty toward increas-
ing the species and then move on to
disintcgration.
Injuries, when death does not follow,
result in the regeneration Of the It's
sues affected, and this regeneration
makes those tissues young again.
A cracked pate that heals is good
for the brain. From this comes the
explanation of the old familiar story
Of the man who, recovering from an
almost fatal injury or a serious illness,
becomes healthier, more vigorous and
youthful than before. 1t also con-
firms the old one about the idiot who,
being hit terrific blow on the head,
regains his reason.

led to concentration on the brilliant
Jewish officer, his accusation, his quick
trial and his deportation to horrible i'm
prisonment on Devils island, of the
coast Of South America.
In the Dreyfus case the mills Of JUS
tice were grinding slowly indeed, but
they were grinding surely. It took
twelve years formally to establish an
innocence in which the world at large
long believed. }
Alongside Of Dreyfus, the martyr,
have stood two heroes whose names
deserve to be indehbly linked with the
love of truth and justice. ..
One Of them was Emile lola, most
noted Of modern French novelists. For
simple love of truth he dared to take
up the cause of condemned man and
defy government and army in his "a
nous letter beginning Il accuse" For
that he was sentenced to a heavy fine
and imprisonment and the loss Of his
Legion of Honor button. He fed into
exile.
The other man was Colonel Picquart,
who sacrificed rank in the army, favor,
fortune, fought duels and suffered
months Of Imprisonment because he
dared proclaim the guilt Of his brother
officers In condemning an innocent
man. It was he who discovered the
forgeries and the crimes that convict
ed Dreyfus and he who had the cour-
age to stand for the truth.
He was cashiered in disgrace, but
the rehabilitation Of the chief sufferer
brought about his restoration. Without
the discoveries made by Colonel Pic
quart while chief Of the intelligence
bureau Of the army 1t is. doubtful
whether the innocence of Dreyfus ever
could have been established.
In 1899 the courts ordered the pris-
oner brought back to France for re-
trial. The. session began at Rennes in
August before court of seven off,
GERS, presided over by Colonel Jouaust.
The prisoner, like one raised from the
dead, made dazed and unfavorable
appearance. Labori, his lawyer, made
a brilliant case and won great fame.
Dreyfus was freed, but not rehabin-
tated. The verdict of the court martial
left him under suspicion. He refused
to accept the judgment as final. He
must have complete vindication and be
restored to the same plane Of innocence
on which he stood before the accusa-
ton Of 1894. This was given him seven
years later when the supreme court Of
the republic annulled the verdict Of. the
Rennes court martial, and then he was
given the rank Of major In the army.

Terror Into the Hearts OF the
English Officials.

London. The German submarine
menace is. bringing officials to realize
the great danger facing England If
Germany increases largely the number
of her undersea craft. This has been
impressed on the British mind by the
success of submarines operating in the
Dardanelles, their ever increasing ac-
tiyity around the British Isles and the
threat to carry this form of warfare
to the Suez Canal and trade that
masses through that waterway.
The latest reports are OF the sinking
of the British steamers Cadeby and
Spennymoor and the Swedish bark nj.

liner Argyllshire was chased and fired
on by an undersea boat, but escaped
to Havre.
Trade to and from British ports goes
on as IL there were no submarine dan
ger, and it is stated that there will be
no interruption in the operations in
the Dardanelles. The fleet there will
have to assist the army on the Gallipoi
Peninsula, taking chances OF deStruc-

MEXICAN SITUATION WORSE
President Wilson Will Serve Notice TO
Warning Factions That CondI-
tions Must Change.

Washington. Wilson has
decided to serve notice on all the war
ring factions in Mexico that conditions
in that country have become intoler-
able and that unless they themselves
compose the situation soon, some other
means may have to be employed.
The first intimation Of the presi-
dents determination to take this step
came in his appeal issued as head of
the American Red Cross, setting forth
that "due to several years of internal
disturbances the unfortunate people of
many parts of Mexico have been re-
duced to the verge of starvation y
and urging contributions to relief
funds. Later the White House gave
out the following:
with the presidents appeal for aid
for the Mexicans 1t is stated at the
executive offices that statement from
the president on the present situation
in Mexico might be expected within
the next few days."
The governments plans, it is said,
will take several weeks to be worked
out, and they are not expected to come
to a decisive point while the delicate
negotiations with Germany are in
progress.
President Wilson stated Tuesday aft
er his conference with Duval West, his
personal representative In Mexico, that

Mexican policy. The recent events,
however-the seizure by Carranza au.
thorities of large quantities of corn
purchased by the international relief
committee and the inability of the au-
thorities at Vera Cruz and Mexico CITY
to provide transportation for supplies
to succor the ever-increasing bread
line-brought about the determination
to act.

EXPERTS SAY HER ENTRANCE ON
SIDE OF ALLIES WOULD
TURN THE TIDE.
BRITISH DIPLOMATS ACTIVE
Men Of High Position In Washington
Say Kingdom Greatly Angered at
Destruction OF Property by
Germans.

Washington.-In the opinion or the
highest practical experts OF the war
department, an early and decisive end
to the European conflict can be
brought about only in one way. This
is by the entrance into the struggle
OF Holland, which country they regard
as the key of the whole situation.
According to reports received here
continually through official channels,
the entrance of Holland on the side
tingency. Holland is described in
these reports as being in angry
mood" toward Germany on account
of the loss of vessels and other prop
erty which she has experienced. 1t
is understood every effort is being
made by English diplomacy to bring
her over to the side of the allies.
The American military view Is that
If Holland enters the war, her army
Of 100000 men will occupy the atten-
tion of the German forces on her bOr-
ders. In the meantime, Lord Kitch-
euer will land ON Hollands shores the
army of nearly 100000 men which he
has in England.
This army would invade Germany
with all possible speed, to cut OF the
other lines of communication with the
great German army now In the
trenches in Belgium and France. The
effect would be to deprive the German
army at once of food supplies.
The main German army would then
be caught between two great armies,
and, in the language of the military
experts of the war department. It
would be Squeezed"
The war department experts de-
scribe the present fighting in France
and Belgium not series Of battles,
but a prolonged siege. The front ex-
tends from the sea to the Vosges
mountains, a distance of about $50
miles, and thanking operations are out
of the question.
In their opinion, the best the allies
could hope to do, unless Holland en-
tered the war and gave them gate
through which to Strike, would be TO
force the German line slowly back
ward by sheer weight of numbers.
For these reasons the belief ex-
pressed is that the invasion of Ger
many through Holland is trick Lord
Kitchener "has up his sleeves" and
will play when the right time comes.
