''Fiends" Being Driven
Wholesale to Hospitals

The dope" situation in Chicago Is
"a mighty good argument" for the Har'

Assistant Secretary Newton. Of the

with the statutes enforcement.

will be cured.
80 far. however. as the use OF ma.
rIne hospitals for treating the sufferers
is concerned. nothing can be done
since such institutions arc. by law
exclusively for the use OF men IN the
service. and there are no drug hends
among them"
SURGEON General Blue said the public
health service was taking no hand IN
meeting the situation created by the
cutting of OF dope" from those habitu'
ated to its use; that the matter was
one solely for local authorities through
out the country.
Washington physicians said that at
the capital, as elsewhere. the lew law
was making 1t immensely more difncult
tor ''fiiends' to secure supplies OF
dope and that many had been forced
to apply for hospital treatment, but a
considerable proportion had laid In sup
plies In advance, SO the situation was
not yet as acute as 1t was likely soon
to become.

What War MOUeS Mean
BY J. w. r. MASON.

NTW YORK. March lo.-Further
indication Of unsatisfactory labor
conditions in England Is contained In
the bill which Is being rushed
through parliament. empowering the
government TO take over all Ii dus-
tries Of the country capable OF being
used to produce war supplies.
This .step practically puts the
workers under martial law. with
out definitely pronouncing the for
mula for military rules. 1t has un-
doubtedly been made necessary be-
cause Of the refusal Of English
working men to subordinate their
class interests to the nations war
time requirements.
British labor. Is adopting the attl-
tude that since capitalists can get
war contracts at abnormally high
prices. working men should have a
share of the good fortune. The work
crs are particularly insistent because
Of the increased cost OF living since
the war began.
The strikes that have been ordered
to enforce tho high wage policy have
curtailed the output OF war supplies
But, this is not the only cause OF
munition shortages. 1t Is customary
among large numbers OF British
skilled workers to accept employ
ment for only enough days in the
week to keep themselves and their
families in very moderate comfort.
They have no desire to increase their
standard Of living by working hard

Lecturer Will Tell
Of Northern Animals

A joint meeting Of the Washington
Academy Of Sciences and the Biological
Society tomorrow evening In the audi

good. Of the Field Museum of Natural
History. Chicago.
Mr.. Osgood spent the summer OF 1914

ment for four or five days n week
will provide work!ngmen with suff-
cient shillinSs for their week
wants. When this happens they quit
work for the other days Of the week
1t Is to prevent British voluntary
idlcness as well as to take cumpul-
sorry means for ending, strikes that
the government has asked for go-
E cialistic powers.
Should the workingman be no more
amcnable to public control than they
have been to private regulations, the
government will be in q quandary.
There Is no machinery In the British
civil administrative system for COM
pelling men to work: and military
rule. even under formal martial law,
always makes possible among Eng
llshmen any uprising to protect
English liberties.
The Socialistic inclinationS. how
ever. OF the British working classes
may come to the governments as
sistance. How socialism will work
In actual practice has ALWAYS been
strong debating ground in England
Now comes an opportunity to de-
termine whether government and la
Dor. operating together. are more cf-
flCient and more satisfactory than
capital and labor. Momentous con-
sequences to British Industrial life
may hang on the outcome.
This Is the reason why Bonar Law,
leader of the opposition In the house
Of commons. described the govern
ments enabling bill as probably the
most drastic ever laid before Darlia-
ment.
