WELLS A SOLDIER

Bombardter Wells, the English heavyw ight, will be twenty ght years old today. Wells has abandon ed pugilisnn for the time being, as last May he enlisted as 8 private in a Welsh regiment. He has had a previ- ous experience as a soldier, as it was while he was in the army in India that he began his career as a boxer. He won the heavyweight champion ship of the army, and then bought his discharge and entered the professi ona1 ring Although often defeated, the Bon1bardier has always been popular with ring followers. and he has many friends on this side of the Atlantic. Wells had three brothers in uniform when the war broke out, and was sup porting their three families as well as his own. The Bpnbardier volun- teered early in the war but at first his application was refused, as it was considered that the family was doing it's share Last May. however, he was permitted to enelist.

Prohibitionists Would
 Botch the Pharmacopoeia

The raid of the prohibitionists upon the revision of the Pharmacopoeia will have no legal effect whatever; and the attempt to drop whiskey and brandy from the list of remedies, to be described in a. future. issue of the Pharmacopoeia, must be futile it is foolish. The Pharmacopoeia is not a government publication and is not by any means the sole descriptive list of remedies employed in medicine, and can not conffne druggists.
 The assumption, in the te1egrams stating that the committee of revis- ion had voted 26 to A, Dr. Wiley presiding, to drop whiskey and bran dy from the list, that the act would compel druggists to take out saloon license to sell whiskey and brandy, has no foundation nor cogency. The action of a partisan committee does not fix the list of remedies. Medi- cine is free; license for the sale of whiskey by druggists as a medicine depends upon existing federal and state enactments, and not upon the pharniacopoeia.
 But the te1egraphed assumption be- trays clearly the intent of the pro- hibitionists who have apparently mas tered the revision for the time being. For at one time the committee drop ped the whole subject as unworthy of attention. Then it was reconsidered by a close majority; and exclusion was adopted after 9 hot debate, 26 to 24.
 MT. Leonard Martin Of Boston is re- ported by Boston paper as making the following demand at a prohi bition meeting July II, 1915, on Boston Common; "One of the first things we must attacl is the druggists license. The alcohol privilege must be erased from the Pharmacopoeia." MT. Mar tin deceives, himself. The Pharna- copoeia grants no rights nor privil- eges.
 The principal guide of the druggist is the dispensatory a list of remedies quite independent of the Pharmaco- poeia. Indeed the editors of the Dis l pensatory in times past have stated their refusal to follow the radical ac- ton of the committee in charge of the Pharmacopoeia. It is impossible to rule out the use of valuable remedies whiskey and brandy, by an arbitrary list.
 The act of the committee will have no legal or other effect except/the dis gust of the great mass of wise and liberal practitioners, who have been grossly misrepresented through the malign influence of the prohibition agencies; and a possible reduction of the Federal revenue Reduction of Federal revenue will be dependent upon the/ success of the prohibition press bufeau in disseminating misin- formation. Druggists accepting the statements of the engineers of this fraud upon the Pharmacopoeia, will neglect to pay the Federal tax of S25 a year. The loss from this cause may reach into the millions, at a time when the Federal government needs every dollar of revenue that can be collected. to prepare for the nation al defense.

DIR. PETERS SUED FOR
 AUTOMOBILE COLLISION

Dr. H. Le Baron Peters Of th1s city is the defendant in a suit brought oy Jack WheIan of Greenwich as the re- suit of an automobi1e accident on Sum day, August IS, in that town pr. Pe-. ters is charged with reckless driving According to eye witnesses of the col Hsion the Bridgeport doctor was dr1y- ing his Buick car about % miles an hour while Whelan's Ford car was making about 10 miles. The former was traveling to the right center or the road and the driver seemed to lose control of his car as he attempted to round a curve.
 pr. Peters said. that he was on his way home from New York and was probably running his ear at the rate of 20 to 22 miles an hour. He wes un- der the impression that he was coast ing at the time and had his foot on the brake His machine was on the right center of the road and he didn't see the Whelan ear until 1t was almost upon him. As he had a lady in the car he didn't deem it wise to veer to the right-hand side of the road on account of a steep eInbankment, which would undoubtedly turn his car over and perhaps seriously inJure his woman companion and himself. It was his belief that WheIan lost control of his car as he had plenty of room to turn to his right. Whelan's hand was badly cut and his little finger broken.
 Dr. Peters was arraigned for reck- less driving before Judge James R. Mead of the borough court, on Satur- day, and the case was continued.

FINGER TIES uP PENSION LAW
stinened Digit of Workman Puzzle
 Connecticut ccz1missdoner.

Hartford, Aug 31-Edward Slater a New Britain draughtsnan whose left middle finger has been injured so that it's stiffness inpairs the other fingers, must decide this week if he will have the digit anaputated. there by emitting him to compensation un- der the workmen's comp sensation law to about $35 a week Instead of the SIS which he is now getting as indemn- ity.
 Physicians testify that in Skaters line of work the right hand is about 25 per cent more Valuable than the left and that Slater has already lost about 45 per cent. of the efficiency of his left hand. With the finger ann putated the compensation connis- sioner for this district has been ad- vised that the efficiency Of Skaters left hand will be reduced to about 12 per cent and the commissioners is puzzled because the Connecticut law does not differentiate in awarding compensation for injured hands with the fingers on and with fingers ann putated.

Dr. Blake, American Surgeon Now Aiding
 French, 51 Today

Dr. Joseph Augustus Blake, the dis tinguished American surgeon who has beeS1 much in the limelight in the past year because of his matrimonial af- fairs, is a native of San Francisco, where he was born fifty-one years ago today. Dr. Blake left New ork early last year and settled in Paris, and on the outbreak of the war he became one of the chief surgeons of the American hospital, where he has won high praise by his devotion to the wounded soldiers. He graduated from Yale thirty years ago, and then took his M D. degree at the Co1un- bia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Until he left America he was a member of the faculty of the famous New York medical school, as professor of surgery, and was noted in the profession as one of the most skillfu1 of American surgeons Dr. Blake's father, William Phipps Blake, was a mineralogist of international fame, a. fellow of the Geological So- ciety of London and chevaher of the Legion of Honor of France, and at one time was employed by the Jap anese governm ent.
 pr. Blake, married his first wife, Catherine Ketchum. twenty-five years ago In 1913 she created a, sensa- ton in the social world by suing Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, wife of the teIe- graph and cable magnate, for $1,00O,- 900 for alienation of her husband's s affections. Later she dropped this action, but was given decree of se- paration from the surgeons. A little later Mrs. Mackay and her husband obtained mutual divorce decrees in Paris, where they had established resi- dences for that purpose. Soon after ward Dr. Blake packed his belongings and sailed away to Paris where he established himsef in apartm ents fac ing the Champs de Mars, near Mrs. Mackay's residence. At the begin ming of the war Dr. Blake offered his services to the French government. His first wife obtained a divorce last November, and immediately the news reached Paris the surgeon married the former Mrs. Mackay, who had re- sumed her maiden name of Katherine Duer following her divorce. The present Mrs. Blake is a beautiful and accomplished woman, and is the au- thor of ssThe Stone of Destiny and other books. pr. Blake was busy op- erating on the wounded soldiers up to within an hour of his marriage, and returned immediately to the hos pita1 after the ceremony.

AMBER or BoKHARA

Among the Asiatic mo11archs who are now paying tribute of money and men to aid their imperial master the Great White Czar, are many men of great wealth. but perhaps the richest of all is the young Ameer of Box hara, Seid Mir Ali1n. This vassaI ruler of the Russian empire is 35 years old and has occupied the Box hariot throne for more than four years. It is said that he is in conn plete sympathy with Russia, and ready at a moments notice to put his treasure into the lap of the Czar. Just how much wealth he has at his com mand is not known but in Asia. he is called the richest man in the world
 Allowing for Oriental exaggerati on, it is certain that the An1eer has at his command wealth that would stagger any but a RothschiId, a Rockefeller or 9 Carnegie. Tn the great treasury of the Arneer in the old city of Bokhara there is a pile of gold and jewels representing the accumulation of cen- turies. The treasures vault of the Ameer is 160 by 75 by 30 feet in size
 and it is said to be filled with valua- bles, largely gold bars, but also in- cluding gold coin, jewe1ry and pre- cious stones. A new treasure cham Der was lately constructed to care for the overflow. If Russia stands in need of the sinews of war, the Ameer has declared his willingness to oblige

A "EIYinan MaIadY.

The doctors are puzzled concerning
strange malady that has broken out
at more than one aeroplane works, and
has in one case ended fatally. The
malady in some respects resembles
yellow jaundice, and it is, rightly or
wrongly, attributed to contact with an
aeroplane dope" or to inhaling its
odor.
Further particulars need not at the
moment be indicated, but 1t has been
suggested that the source Of the trou'
BILE may be amyl acetate, which is
used as a dope" solvent. Some mys
terry attaches to the affair, the precise
nature of the malady not having yet
been determined, in spite of close ex
animation and analysis; and, of course
until success Is attained in this direc
tion no satisfactory precautions OF
remedy can be devised.
