GEN FooH

While the French generals have been given little publicity, in this war. many of them have played heroic roles, and not the least of these is Gen. Ferdinand Pooh, who has exc cuted in the field several of Gen. Jof- fires most brilliant plans. When King George conferred the Grand Cross of the Bath upon the French general, upon the occasion of his visit to France, 1t was a recognition of many gallant feats of rams. Gen. Pooh is sixty three years of age, and entered the army soon after graduating from the college in his native town of Tar bes. He is recognized authority on tactics and has written several books which have been translated into sew eral languages He was long profes- sor of tactics at the EcoIe de Guerre, the great French military college, and in 1908 he was made a general and placed in command of the war school. For two or three years before the war he had been commander of a division of the French army. At the outbreak of hostiIities he was entrusted with an imp ortant command by Gen Joffre, and he will doubtless rank in history as the hero of the great battles of the Marne and Yser. Since October he has commanded the three great ar mics if the north and has been Gen. Joffre's right hand man. One of Gen. Hooh'S brothers Is Jesuit priest. Or all the French leaders in the field Gen. Pooh has shown the greatest brilliances daring and resodrce in of l fensive operations. It is to him that tsJoffre has entrusted his most impor- tant movements, and his trust has not been misplaced. Joffre and Pooh have long been close friends, and each has a perfect knowledge of the tenn peraEnent and capacity of the other. That Gen. Fsooh was singled out by the British monarch to receive the highest distinction he could confer upon foreigner for military services, an honor conferred upon no other French general except Joffre, was proof that Pooh had performed feats which are as yet little known to the world at large.

ernment under the administration Of

 Since then Aguinaldo. in common with most of the other insurgent leaders, have accepted fhe SOW ereignty of the United States. In 1907 a Philippine assembly was elected, and the natives have been given an increasingly important share in the government of the archi- peIago. Under President Wilson administration, with Francis Burton Harrison as governor of the islands, the hope of complete Independence has been held up to the Fflipinos. In spite of praiseworthy performances and promises. however Uncle Sam apparently has yet to win the conn piete confidence of the little brown brothers whose destinies he has at tempted to work out.

The accus- ed were brought before5 Justice of the. Peace Carlos D.

This was supplemented by the arrest of Her man Block, the son. on the charge of operating a motor vehicle at night without tail lights, and this case will come up also on Saturday. This grist of grand jury complaints arises out of the same affair between Constable C. F. Conger and the Blocks which occurred about Jan-10 in Botsford, and as a. result of which the constable has been suel for $3, 900 in the Com mon Pleas court by the Blocks. Con stable sConger claims his interference on this occasion was a friendly act, calling the attention of the motorists to the fact, that they were without rear lights. He backs up this conten- ton by complaining against .Hyman Block, the chauffeur, and claims to have ample evidence of his right to interfere at the time the initial alter cation ensued- The Blocks a11ege un- friend1iness on the part of Constable b1e, and are determined to try the cases out Conger has engaged Law yer Alexander Delaney of Bridgeport while the Blocks will be represented by Attorney Geduldig of the same city.

THE DEADLY TOLL OF

Stricter laws and strieter enforce ment for the prevention of trespass- ing upon railways are urged upon the state legislature s@The Deadly Toll of Trespass on Railways a bulletin of the Railway Business Association, the national organization of manufactl1r- ing, mercantile and engineering con- cerns dealing with Sthe railroads
 There were" the bulletin declares, "33, 900 persons under 21< years of age killed or injured while trespass- ing on railways of the United States from 1901 to 1910, enough to make 8 mile post for every mile around the world,

 Killed Injured United States 1so1-1o 6o,o25 5s.427.
 1so1-1O 4,4s4 1915
 Telling why this striking differ ence exists, the explanation is given:
 t.In tae United States laws against roalroadf trespassing are generally not enforced
 ..In. the United Kingdem. persons found on railroad property are fined $10s for each offence
 Progress toward enactment of laws providing effective penalties and to- ward conviction and sentences for those who wi1fuIly~ expose themselves to danger is said to be slowly spread ing while loss of life and damage as affecting railways is increasing. France puniShes tEesp passers by fines up to $5z9 and jail up to a month; Germany, by fines up to $25; Canada by fines up to $50 and improsonment I'M. Railroad operates a part of it's mile age through Canada. Tn the year ending June 30, 1914, of the 94 tres! passers killed on that road only three were killed in Canada.
 TIn the United States laws are few. and even where penalties are prescribed, magistrates hesitate to impose them, as local authorities dis. like to feed and lodge convicted tramps.'' Trespassers, however, .'in-, clude little children and wage earn CTS living in the vicinity, whose death or disability leaves families desti- Elevation Does Not Stop Trespassing.
 Elevation of track in Chicago was resorted to at an expense of 70 mill lions, which is expected to reach 15O millions Trespassers leap over a city ordinance and climb up on the elevation in their conscientious devo- ton to the pursuit of being killed and maimed. In three months 339 ar rests were made on the elevated right of way of four systems. Only 67 of the offenders were punished.
 Lack of Statutes.
 .'Thfrty-five states have no laws specifically prohibiting persons walk ing on railroad right of way Thir- teen states by statute prescribe pen a1ties ranging from $5 fine to 10 days in jail in New York; New York, Wis consin, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Massachusetts.

PROPAGATION OF
 PHILIPPINES BY UNCLE s SAM NOT YET COMPLETE

Recent reports from Manila indi- cate that the pacif1cation of the Philippines by Uncle Sam is not yet complete It was sixteen years ago today, on February 4. 1898, that A AerinaIdoss insurgents, after vain endeavors to get the Washington gov ernment to recognize the Philippine republic commenced the long and bloody war which was suppressed by the United States only after a vast expenditure in lives and treasurer Of fcially the war ended in 1902, but since then the United States troops have been kept busy in suppressing incipient revolts in various parts of the islands Recent events indicate that even in Manila the spirit of rev. olution still sIunbers.
 In the spread of popular education and the development of industries the United States has accomplished wonders, but at cost far outweigh ing the financial gains The rich trade of the Philippines has not followed the flag and the exports from the United States to the islands have increased very slowly, while the imports from the PhiHppihes were less in 1914 than in 1913, and less in 1913 than in the preceding year.
 The white mans burden" has not rested easily on the shoulders of IJncIe Sam When the United States
 
 before he sailed for Manila from Hong Kong, arranged with Emilio Aguinaldo Fanny, the mestizo lead CT of the insurrection against span ish ruIe to return to the island and again raise the standard of revolt A e11inaldo and dozen other insur- gent chiefs were taken to Luzon by limited States dispatch boat, and, little later they declared the Philip pines an independent republic. Pres. ident Aguinaldo, disappointed in his homes of recognition from Washingr ton. refused to recognize the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain and the cession of isl- ands to the former Aguinaldo's army had occupied the strong places around Manila and closely invested the city, and the insurgents soon be- gan to display an attitude of ,hostili- ty toward the American troops
 This hostility famed forth in open war on Feb. 4, 1899, when the native army made a determined attack on the American lines. The nShung con- tinued through the following day be- fore the attackers were repulsed, with a loss of 10000 men, compared to an American loss of 200. Pasig was the scene of another pitched bat tIe in March The F'ilipinos fought like demons, but they were out matched and outgeneraIed by the American forces On several occa- ,sions. however, the Americans sus- tained serious losses, Gen. L.awton be- ing among the killed. Early in 1901 AguinaIdo was captured by Gen. Funston, who lately commanded the American army of occupae1on at Vera Cruz. 8

D. s. PUBLIC HEALTH
 SERVICE REPORT ON A
 TUBERCULosIS TREATMENT.

In response to a resolution of the
 United States Senate. the Public
 Health Service has investigated the von Ruck treatment for tuberculosis The report of these inv estigations has Just been made public, as Senate docz
 ument 641. This follows close on the report from the same service on the Friedman treatment, and, as in the latter, the verdict is that won Bucks claims have not been substantiated.
 On account of the evident practical difficulties in carrying out the studies
 on human beings, the investigation was largely confined to the attempt to confirm or disprove by animal expert mentation the reliability and success of von Bucks methods and practices in the production of immunity to tuberculosis. The studies were be- gun in Ashvi1le at pr. vcu Rnck's laboratory, but were later transferred to the Hygienic Laboratory in Wash ingtop, the reason given being that Dr. won Ruck WouId-not concede the right of the governments represen- tatives to conduct an Independent sumnarily Interrupted the investiga- stion in Ashville. 1t would seem from the report that the von Bucks did not have sufficient confidence in their emth ods to be willing to be inYesti- gated unless they had snpervisi on truly a rernarkable stand for a sci sentist to take.
 . One of the most striking portions sof the report is that which discusses the attempts made in won Bucks Laboratory by some one interested in the outcome of the experiments to alter the entries in the laboratory record book in regard to the use of controls in certain serum tests. Such an occurrence, as the report states, sss'had the effect Of removing the en- tire test from consideration as a. sci entff1c proceedings,.' and causes The Journal of the American Medical As sociation to indulge in speculation as to whether the investigation was not desired for reasons other than pure 1y scientific ones.
