THE "BOOK OF HEALTH"

The preparation of the "Washing-
ton Book of Health" by the Society
for the Prevention of tuberculosis,
is an excellent bit of work in disease
prevention. This volume of about 100
pages, cloth bound, is to be distrib-
uted among school teachers, to be
passed on to their pupils.
The distribution of such a book
signalizes change in the teaching
of physiology. Instead of compel
ling children to learn the names of
bones and the general anatomy, the
modern school lays stress on those
lessons Of hygiene which, to quote
the motto of this book, "help the
strong to remain strong, the weak
to become strong, and, by prevent
ing sickness, lengthen the average
span of human life"
The District association in the
preparation of this volume, and in
the method of its distribution, has
been generous and also wise. It is
directing its efforts toward the por-
tion of the community In which it
will have most effect in years to
come; and the harvest will be
richer than from the usual aimless
attempts at propaganda Of this
sort.

TER OUMBA PROTEST

Ambassador Dumba is not very
convincing in his protest that he
has been Ill treated in this country,
In that he has been cut of from
communication with his home gov
ernment. It Is not quite conceivable
that he would have wanted to trans
NIT by cable, even in code, the mes
sages, that he sent by Archibald.
Codes are too easily and often dis
covered and compromising messages
deciphered.
The real point concerns the char
acter of the message he was sending
to Europe by Archibald. That mes
sage dealt with activities of the am
bassador in this country, which
could not possibly be regarded as
proper. No matter how the ambas-
sador may view them. the American
people cannot forgive the proposals
to incite industrial chaos and an
archy here. That is the real ques-
tion, and no effort to becloud the
fact is going to change the senti-
ments of this country.
So far as concerns the wireless
censorship, that difficulty was
brought upon the Teutonic countries
by their own disregard of our neu-
trality, in using their wireless es-
Establishments here for the transmit
tai Of naval orders and other i'm
proper communications. 1t became
impossible to maintain our character
as neutral and permit such things

est in personal athletics rather than

BULOARIA'S DECISION

There no longer seems reason to
doubt that the central powers have
defeated the project for reconstitu-
ton Of the Balkan League, to bar
the way'to an Austro- German ad-
vance for relief of the Turco-Ger-
man forces at the Dardanelles.
This design, which the entente
had been pursuing with persistent
energy, was aimed primarily at the
conciliation Of Bulgaria by the ces-
sion Of territory which that country
lost to her former allies at the end
of the second Balkan war, of which
the results were set down in black
and white in the treaty of Bucharest.
BY accepting Turkeys territorial Of
fer-the cession of a strip Of the
railway between the Bulgarian from
tier and tho new Bulgarian port Of
Dedeaghatch-the Bulgarian gov
eminent has frustrated, at least for
the time being, the efforts Of the al
lies to reconstitute the Balkan
League and mass the available
forces Of the Balkan states, amount
ing to about one million and half
men, against the central powers.
Just what undertakings Bulgaria
has entered into in return for this
territorial surrender by Turkey re-
mains to be seen. The Bulgarian
premier, Vassil Radoslavoff, has
been quoted as denying that the
treaty with Turkey involves Bull
garia in any future political obliga-
tions, and that the accession of
Turkish territory was in the nature
of compensation for favors already
done to Turkey in legitimate ways,
such as the sale of foodstuffs and
other supplies.
Under the agreement with Tur-
key, which was the direct outcome
OF German pressure. Bulgaria is
officially represented as bound to a
policy of friendly neutrality"
There are signs of belief in Ber-
lin that this position, in certain
eventualities, will develop into ac-
tive Intervention in behalf of Tur-
key and her Teutonic masters.
But whatever the scope or pur-
pose of the rco-Bulgarian agree
ment, that agreement lacks support
among the Bulgarian people, and the
administration at Sofia already finds
itself in a storm of denunciation of
pact which binds the Bulgarians
to their hereditary enemies, the
Turks, and against their kin by

FREE TEXT BOOKS

Only last week the Central Labor
Union passed resolutions urging
that free text books be furnished
sS2ils in Washington high schools.
Before the Board Of Education, in
discussing plan for a second hand
book exchange in high schools, Su-
perintendent Thurston remarked
that "the expense of high school
text books is q serious matter"
On top Of that the Bureau Of Edu-
cation is about to issue a bulletin
on free text books all over the coun-
try, in which it is shown just how
Tar behind progressive States and
cities the District is in this respect.
This report shows that eleven States
gave free text books for high
schools. These are Delaware, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts,, Nebraska,
Nevada. New Hampshire, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island. and
Wyoming. That is a good showing,
but it does not represent the entire
field. In seventeen other States
where free text books are not man.
datory, but permissive, many cities
furnish their high school pupils
with free text books.
In Washington there is not even
a law insuring to elementary pupils
free books. Since 1891, by grace of
an annual appropriation, books have
been furnished in the grades. But
this never has been extended to the
high schools.
For hundreds of families the buy
ing Of text books is "a serious mat
ter" Added to that, the pupil, if q
boy, must drill; and he has to pur-
chase cadet uniform. There are
other school collections, athletic as
sociation tickets, school papers, and
collections for charitable purposes
authorized in the schools, which are
not compulsory in theory, but are
compulsory in fact for most pupils.
1t is time that the Capitals was
put among those school SYSTEMS
which furnish books for pupils.

THE NEW TURN IN MEXICO

The Pan-American conference on
Mexico has In effect notified the
Mexican factions that they have
three weeks in which to settle be-
tween themselves which is the
stronger and, being stronger, shall
be recognized. It IL an invitation to
them to get into the ring and reach
. military decision that will leave
no question Of superiority in force
and capacity to control.
Carranss has had the advantage
OF getting revenues from the prin-
cipal port Of Mexico, and Of being
able to bring in munitions and sup.
plies. It has enabled him lattsrly to
make a showing Of apparent super
iority in the field; and the pro-
nouncemsnt from the diplomatic
conferees is naturally construed as
pointing the probability Of Carranza
recognition. Washington's hostility
toward the First Chief has been
modified notably In the last fow
months. President Wilson has been
considered a determined partisan of
Villa, even to the point Of over
ruling John Lind and Secretary
Bryan. Like a great majority, prob
ably, Of other Americans, the Presi-
dent is understood to have felt that
Carranza would never be a success

Mexico. It must be said that on
the record the cooperating 20 wcrs
are taking long chances II they
have In mind to recognize Carranza
and place back Of him such moral
force as will insure his supremacy.
After he gets control Of Mexico,
what will he do with it, Will the
irreconcilables permit him really to
control7 Can the bandit warfare be
ended by such a proceeding as seems
now indicated?
1t is very plain that the United
States is not going to intervene in
force. Whether any other proceed
ing can restore civilized government
is doubtful; but the experiment with
either Villa or Carranza can hardly
make matters worse than they have

THE BALL SEASONS END

There have been seasons when the
approaching close Of the baseball
contests was the affair of supreme
interest in this country; but 1915 is
not that sort Of season. Despite
that a Garrison finish is being
staged in both the great leagues,
the public persists in cold refusal to
excite itself. In the American
League Boston looks like a pennant
winner, though Detroit at the start
Of the present series with the lead
ers, still had chance to jump to
the top. In the National League
Philadelphia has the jump on Brook
lyn; but the race has been close
enough to put Brooklyn on the ball
map as it has not been in a long
time, and to give a fine illustration
Of the possibilities of rehabilitating
the game in towns too long excluded
from real participation in the ex-
citement.
In both the big leagues the tradi-
tional baseball consultations of first
magnitude-the Giants in the Ma
tional, and the Athletics in the
American-have been hopelessly out
of the running this season; in fact
each club is now at the bottom of its
leagues percentage column. 1t is
an impressive change since a short
year ago; and perhaps in the long
run 1t will prove good thing for g

NEW GERMAN PROMISES

Berlin gives new and cheering as
surances Of hopefulness about Dip
lomatic adjustment Of the differ
ences with the United States con-
corning submarine warfare. The
promises might be regarded a. Of
dubious value, in view Of the ex-
perience Of recent months; but q
careful reading Of Count Won
Jagow's interview impresses the be.
lief that the Hollweg-Jagow faction
In the German government has tsi-
umphed over the Tirpitz-militarist
extremists. II 1t were possible to
know the entire inwardness Of con-
ditions at Berlin, it would probably
be discovered that divided counsels
have been responsible for bringing
on the crisis. There was a long Pc
riod when 1t was uncertain whether
the sane or the insane elements, the
Bethmann-Hollwegs or the Won Tir-
pitzes, were going to prevail. Count
Won Jagow twice emphasizes with all
vigor that the government is not q
unit in favor Of carrying out the
promises made to Washington re.
garding submarine war. He says
nothing that directly reflects upon
Won Tirpitz, but it Is not hard to
believe the grand admiral will con-
strue the statement as little less
than announcement of his repudia.
ton.
The inactivity Of German subma-
rines in recent days adds force to
this view. For some time, during
the most recent period of their &C.
tivity, it was evident that a des.
perate effort was making with the
submarines, to give the lie of Brit
ish claims Of numerous losses Of un-
dersea craft. Different incidents de.
veloped that submarines had been
away from their bases for very long
periods, and out of touch; evidently
engaged in a strenuous campaign tc
make a showing of unimpaired eff.
fectiveness despite heavy losses
But more recently there has been 8
slackening Of the activity, and il
suggests the probability that the
submarine assault on merchant ship
ping is to be featured much less
hereafter. If that shall prove true
the United States will have gained
a distinct victory In behalf Of free
dom on the seas. In any case the
probability of an amicable adjust
ment of pending differences between
the two countries Is brought into
clear view by the expression from
the German foreign Office.
