Power on the Sea.

Sir: 1t has been frequently advocated by
the press of Germany that this conflict Is
for the freedom Of the seas" Il is slngu'

lack of such freedom, and Germany' OWE

commerce and extensive colonization sna
growing trade should furnish the best PROOF
Of the most evident falsity Of any su''

Objections TO the Pasteur Treatment.

A report just published by physician
Of the United States Public Health Ser
vice will be welcomed with enthusiasm by
observation-disclosures and the peculiar skep-
tics who refuse to believe in the reality
Of rabies. Referring to some well-authen-
ticated accidents that have happened to
patients undergoing the Pasteur treat
ment, he observes that "all patients
should know of the possible occurrence of
complications so that they can determine
for themselves whether or not they desire
to receive the treatment" For the rest,
he insists that it is "far safer to prevent
the exposure of man to possible infection
of rabies than to rely on anti-rabic treat
ment to prevent the development of the
disease after exposure"
No one can justly quarrel with this
conclusion. 1t is admitted generally that
Pasteur's system is not infallible; more
over, it is impossible to estimate its value
with precision. 1t is easy enough to pro-
duce figures showing the number of per
sons treated at the various Institutes in
the last thirty years and to demonstrate
that the mortality has been exceedingly
low But this is not alone sufficient to
establish the efficacy of the treatment, be-
cause it is impossible to tell how many of
the thousands treated were really in
fected. Even in those cases in which the
rabidity of the animal that inflicted the
bite has been established it cannot be said
with certainty that the disease was trans
mtted. 1t follows, then, that even if the
treatment were invariably successful its
value could not be proved in this way.
The only satisfactory way of demon
Strating the value of anti-rabic treatment
would be by comparing the mortality be-
fore and after the treatment was intro
duced Unfortunately, the vital stats
tics are lacking. 1t is freely alleged that
formerly the death rate was at least 40
per cent among persons bitten by animals
undoubtedly rabid. 1t is far lower than
that among those who take the treatment
less perhaps than l per cent. The mis-
chief is, however, that the figures relating
to hydrophobia before Pasteur's time can
not be regarded as wholly trustworthy.
The fact is, then, that the value of this
treatment cannot be as clearly established
as the value Of, say, vaccination. All that
we can say with certainty is that expert
ence shows it to be Of great use. But it
is not infallible and the exact degree of
its usefulness cannot be fixed beyond con-
troversy.
The firmest believers in Pasteur's
method, and those who have had most cx-

Logic Based on Truth.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial under the caption OF
"Liege 19l4-15" is a masterpiece of logic
based on truth.
As for the German success in Russia it
should not intoxicate the Teutonic allies, for
the simple reason that certain Napoleon
called military genius, was as far as Mos
COW with victorious army and was finally
beaten

SHERMAN LAW
IN BALANCE
Next Four Months Will
Decide It's
Fate
THIS BY COMING
HARVESTER DECISION
If Government Loses the
Sherman Law Is
Dead

| Washington, D. c., June l7.--Review
| ing twenty-five years of trust prosecu
tlons and of interpretations by the fed
eral courts of the Sherman anti trust
law, officials Of the department of jus,
tice Tuesday reached the conclusion that
the ultimate usefulness of that statute
to regulate business, would be deter
| mined by the United States supreme
court probably within the next few
| months.
A long series of victories for the gov
eminent, Tor the most part in the en-
foreement of the civil side of the act,
has been followed in the few months by
several defeats both in minor courts and
IN the supreme court. So far as the
civil section Of the law is concerned. the
government looks upon the suit to dis.
solve the International Harvester COM
pany as of the utmost Importance. This
case is now in the hands of the supreme
court. The principal case involving the
criminal end OF the Sherman law, now
before the courts, is that against Off
GERS and directors OF the New York, New
Haven d Hartford railroad If the
Harvester suit finally is lost, it was adj
mitted Tuesday night the Sherman law
will virtually become dead letter and
the government in the future, must de-
pend upon the Clayton antitrust act
to curb unlawful practices in business.
The refusal of the supreme court Mon
day to grant writ OF certiorari for a
review of the reversal of the conviction
of officers of the National Cash Regis
ter company, may have some influence
on the course to be followed in the flu.
ture in respect to commercial actions.
Officials profess to have had little conf.
dence that supreme court would grant
this writ, because of the fact that it is
reluctant to deal with commercial cases.
IL is believed, however, that the effect of
the decision upon public opinion may be
marked and that administrations in the
future may hesitate to bring commercial
proceedings of like character at public
expense. The government still has an
to push this case by comply.
ing with the decision of the federal cir |

on one count against the officials of the |
cash register company. No line of action !,
has been settled upon and several days |
