New York.-The enlistment of the

States in an army of helpfulness to re-
lieve suffering, both in this country
and Europe, is the purpose of a move
ment which is announced here by a

Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard
University; David Starr Jordan, presi-
dent of the National Educational Asso-
citation, and Richard McLaurin, presi-
dent of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
1t is the belief of those interested in

BRITISH SEEK ARMS
IN COTTON BY X RAY
Bales From America TO Germany
First Photographed.

New York. The war in Europe has
brought to light many innovations, but
none more interesting than the taking
Of X ray photographs of bales of cot
ton to discover c%ontraband of war
possibly concealed therein. X ray TX
perts with II big powerful machine are
taking photograph after photograph
of bales of cotton on piers in this city.
Cotton amounting to 10000 bales was
all photographed before being loaded
into the hold Of the steamer City of
Macon of the Savannah . line for
Bremen, the first cargo for that port
to leave New York since the war start
ed. Cotton is not contraband of war.
and the City of Macon. flying the
American flag, will be allowed to pro.
coed to Bremen without interference
from the British,
But the British. who have command
Of the sea-. are extremely cautious
these times. 1t occurred to the con.
sui general in New York, Sir Cour-
tenay w. Bennett, that %cannons, guns
or other contraband might be con
cealed In the cotton for delivery to
the German army or navy. Obviously
it would be impracticable TO open any
of the bales and go through the cotton
for c%ontraband. The idea of taking
X ray photographs was suggested.
officials of the British government,
passing along >the immense piles of
cotton bales on the pier, directed steve
dores to drag out a bale here and
there. Each bale so selected was pho
%tographed. with the idea that solid sub
stances concealed in the cotton would
show. The X ray did not detect any
contraband in the first batch of bales
examined.

SWIFT SOCIAL PACE
IS KILLING AMERICANS
Or. Fisk Says Vitality Is Below
Standard of Foreigners.

Philadelphia.-Dr. Eugene Fisk. di-
rector of hygiene at the Life Extension
institute of New York, In an address
before the American Association For
the Advancement Of Science, asserted
that the swift social and industrial
pace in the United States has reduced
the vitality of Americans to a point far
below the standard of Great Britain
and the other nations of Europe. Sup
plementing this statement, Assistant
Statistician Kopp Of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company of New York
said that the infusion Of Slavic blood,
nearly always unhealthy. had been In
important factor in lowering the vitali-
ty of the people as n whole.
"The American of 1914 is far below
the physical standards of his progeni-
tors said DR.. Fisk. 1T is easily i'm
aginable that 90 per cent Of the men
examined by life insurance companies
and hospital physicians would have to
be rejected in a physical test for mill
tary service.
we nave ldAeu our NlUdliIy IOO
greatly in our industries and in our So
cial pace and have too readily ignored
the common rules of health and physi-
cal well being. Now we are beginning
to see how great a price we must pay"
"As many persons die annually in the
United States from p%reventable dis
eases as have been killed thus far in
the entire European war declared e
A. Winslow of the New York state de
partment of health in an earlier ad-
dress. More than 100000 have fallen
in the war. and us many die annually
here from ills that can be prevented
and that are therefore much more
tragic and deplorable.
THE most fearful thing about this
European war Is that it seems to us at
this distance so wantonly useless"
said Mr.. Winslow, yet the deaths Of
40 per cent of 100000 persons in the
United States each year are equally
unnecessary,
Fully 90 per cent of the 100000 ba-
bies who die each year before passing
their first birthday could be kept alive
by applying the merely elemental prin-
ciples OF hygiene"

WOMAN OPPOSED IN SENATE
DEVILS Lake, N. D., Postoffiee Bone
of Contention.

Washington.-The senate and the
president have come to a deadlock on
the appointment of Mrs. Marjorie j.
Bloom to be postmistress at Devils
Lake, N. d. The president appointed
J.. II. Bloom, of the Devils Lake Jour-
nal, to the place. The Journal is the
only democratic daily in North Da-
kota. In the course of campaigns it
attacked Senator Gronna. The SEN
ator went after the scalp of Mr.. Bloom
and got it.
Then the president gave a recess
appointment to Mr.. Blooms wife, This
Senator Gronna has opposed bitterly,
and the question has been raised
whether the president did not make a
recess appointment of Mrs. Bloom be-
cause he knew she would be rejected
at the request of Senator Gronna as a
matter of senatorial courtesy.

VESSELS OFF HAVRE
SUNK BY SUBMARINE
Irish Sea Raider Sinks Three
and Escapes After Chasing
Numerous Others.

London.-The toll taken by the Ger
man submarine U-21 in its raid Satur-
day in the Irish Sea in the vicinity OF
Liverpool, stands at three ships, the
steamers Ben C%ruachen, Linda
Blanche and the Kilcoan, the latter
a small vessel. The crew of the Kill
coan was landed on the Isle of Man
by a coastwise steamer.
In addition a German submarine
also has torpedoed two British steam
ers in the English channel near Hayre
the Toxic Maru and the Icaria.
The Irish Sea raider easily made her
escape and shipping interests, conf
dent that she has returned TO her
base, ordered a resumption of normal
traffic.
This underwater Emden is the same
vessel which last September torpe
doed in the North Sea, the British
cruiser Pathfinder, with a loss of 246
lives, and later destroyed two British
steamers off Havre. She found nu-
merous vessels in the waters to which
she has centered her activities, In
addition to the three vessels she is
known to have sunk, at least five 9TH
er steamers we're chased by her.
These include the steamer Graphic,
with 100 passengers and a crew of 40,
and the smaller boats, Aureus, Ava,
Kathleen and Edymion. All these yes.
sells escaped in a zig,zag flight

House May Sustain Veto.

What will be the fate of President
Wilson's veto of the immigration bill
because of the restrictive literacy test
is another subject of supreme inter
est in the congress for the week.
That some democratic members who
voted for the bill do not propose to
vote to override the presidents re-
lection already is known and house
leaders are not certain that the re-
quired two-thirds vote can be pro
cured. Should the bill fail TO receive
a two-thirds vote it will die. If it
passes, few doubt that the senate
would give it considerably more than
the necessary two-thirds majority, it
having passed there originally by so
to Z.
