WASHINGTON, April 8. - Drug
addiction is very common in this
country. and constitutes a menace to
the nation. according to an article in
the public health reports for March
10, 1915. which reviews the efforts
made to lessen the abuse Of habit
forming drugs
The abuse OF narcotic drugs in
wolves economic, social, moral and
public health questions that collec-
lively constitute one Of the most seri-
Gus problems before the people OF the
United States today.
In New York and several other
states have provided systematic
treatment for those addicted to the
use Of drugs, while in Michigan such
person may be adjudged incompe-
tent and a guardian appointed. A
law recently enacted in Tennessee
permits the sale Of narcotics to drug
addicts registered according to the
law. Similar laws exist in other
states. but the New York law for
treatment Of drug addicts is consid-
cred the better measure.
The principal short comings Of the
present laws are that no method Of
enforcement is outlined and no spe-
cific appropriations are made for
their enforcement.
In order to bring about uniform
lty in the enactment and enforcement
Of anti-narcotlc laws, those who are
interested in the subject should
make a careful comparative study OF
the existing laws to determine the
reasons for the inadequacy OF these
laws. Statistics should be compiled
showing the nature and extent OF the
use OF habit forming drugs, and ear
nest efforts should be made to Sc
cure uniform legislation which will
prevent the misuse Of such drugs.
The solution of the drug problem
will be well worth the thought, time
and expense required, and all who
are interested in the welfare Of the
American people should give their
support to the new federal anti-nar-
cotic law which aims to reduce the
number of drug addicts and TO re-
move the temptation from others.

PARIS, March 24.-(By Mail to New
York)-'In times Of war prepare for
peace"
This is to be the slogan hereafter
Of block in the French chamber of
deputies headed by Deputy Frederick
Drunet of the Department of the
Seine. Just as France possibly made
mistake in times of peace in not pre-
pairing more fully for war, so Deputy
Brunei declares she will make even
a greater mistake now that she has
war if she fails to take advantage of
1t for a thorough preparation for
peace
With the certainty Of a victorious
peace only a question of time, Brunei
declares France will not only lose a
great portion Of the advantage that
will come with it but will find herself
utterly unable to cope with the gigan-
tic problems which will then be pre-
sented unless she begins Immediately
her preparations. Already Brunei
has prepared series of proposed laws
to this end and these are to be intro
duced at once into the French parlia-
ment.
While the bulk of these proposed
measures have to do largely with the
mere material advantages and prepar-
ations Of peace, Brunei has also made
provisions in them for what may provo
the beginning of the realization in
France of the dreams OF syndicalists
the world over-the establishment of
working men on a basis where they
will share in the profits of their own
labors.
One of the first problems which
Brunei declares France will face when
the moment peace comes will be the
rebuilding of the hundreds of cities,
towns villages. hamlets and huts that
have been destroyed not only in the
invaded districts Of France but of Bel
gium as we'll If that problem is al
lowed to go until peace has come,
Brunei declares France will not find
herself in a position to solve it. With
the heavy losses of human lives en-
tailed by the war she will find her
self without the labor necessary for
the actual work and she will find her
self without the material
=. Brunet's first law project therefore
provides for the immediate reopening
Of all factories and industries engag,
