the mind and the backbone to stand
out against 1t and fight It?
This Is the picture of the kind Of a
man. according to the defense. We ought
to produce to you in order to convict this
defendant of having furnished 800 half
grain tablets within q period of thirteen
days for the cure of an addiction to that
drug. Do you think that's the way to cure
1t? I will refer you to the honorable eX-
pert the defense produces What did he
tell you about how to cure It? Being
asked how he would treat a man. he said,
I would diminish the dose and stimulate
and build up his system and send him to
a hospital
Did DR.. Kemp. tho defendant in this
case. ask Mccain or ask Bellinger what
quantity they were taking or anything?
And without making a reasonable in
quiry to ascertain the quantity. why
didn't he prescribe something to build up
the system? And il he prescribed these
drugs, where are the prescriptions? So
all that you have got here in this case in
the defense Is an unlimited web of mega
tives. and you can drive a six-mule team
through It from q thousand different
ways"
Mr.. Taggart. opening for the prosecu-
tion. said. in part:
THE question of how long It takes a
man in taking one Of these habit-forming
drugs to become an addict Is vitality i'm
portant To Judge that subject in a
common-sense way. II q man takes NOR
phine for three months habitually, dur
ing that time he is addicted to it. That
is the only way that you should look at
IT.

EASIER NOW THAN 1914

New York, April b.-Justin NC
Grath, in an article in the American
says:
Could Washington be taken again
and burned, Is it was by the BRUSH
in 1914?
Since the publication in the Hearst
papers of the page editorial entitled
The Conditions of 1909 are Repeated
in 1915" there has been some discus
sion. especially in official circles, as
to the probability Of the 1914 national
tragedy.
| Lest any should think such dis
cussion entirely idle. it may be well
to recall the fact that during the
War of 1912, and indeed up to with
! in a very few days of the successful
invasion of Washington by the Brit
ish in 1914, the possibility of such
| calamity as befell the capital was
secuted.
Pacihclsts Halted Preparation.
There were pacificists. blind to
| every danger, who were quite as act
i've at that time I'm spreading the
propaganda of Incorporation as are
| the pacificists of today.
Henry Clay charged them with
having cast obstacles in the way of
preparation, and making that lack of
preparation an excuse for longer sub
mission to a great wrong"
President Madison did not want the
War of 1872. being literally forced
into 1t by public sentiment.
Benson ]. Losing. in his History of
the War of 1872" gives this account OF
the condition Immediately preceding the
invasion Of Washington and the burning
of the Capitol and other public build
inGs:
President Saw Danger.
For several months previous to the
advent of Cockburn, thoughtful men had
called the attention OF the President and
his constitutional advisers to the exposed
state of the entire District Of Columbia.
and especially the Capitol, and to the
Importance of adopting vigorous meas
ures for its defense.
THE President appears to have feared
danger. but his Cabinet was unmoved. |
Even when the foe was so near that
the booming of his cannon could almost |
he heard. they could not be impressed |
with a sense of impending danger and
on the 18th day of May the government or
gan National IntelligencerD said:
+" We have no idea of the enemy at !

capital, and II he does We have no doubt |

Easier Task Now.
This idle boast and the government
a pathy,' says LOSING, were terribly re-
buked a little more than three months
afterward by British arms and British
torches"
Upon inquiry have learned that the
greatest experts on military and naval
in Washington are practic-
ally unanimous in the view that a nation
which could destroy the American fleet
would have less difficulty at the present
time In capturing Washington, and In
burning it If so inclined. than the Brit
ish had in 1914.

NOTHING BUT WAR MARS
EGG-ROLLING FROLIC
Children of Diplomats Fail to Join
the Others in Annual Easter
Monday Fun.

President Wilson Joined the Riddles Of
Washington yesterday in enjoying their
annual Easter Monday frolic on the
White Lot. The President forgot his
troubles as he gazed from the south por-
tico of the White House at the light
hearted youngsters. rich and poor. white
and colored.
The six children of Secretary Tumulty,
the grandson of Secretary Bryan, and the
three sons of Secretary Daniels were on
the White House lot. The occasion was
marred only by the European war. which
prevented the children Of the diplomatic
families from violating the conservative
attitude which the war has compelled
them to assume.
The Zoo grounds far exceeded the
White Lot In the number Of picnicers
The vast park was thrown open to the
children. vehicles being excluded and ball
games barred.

THE government of the United States.
II the order-in-council ID strictly en-
forced, apprehends many interferences
with its legitimate trade which will i'm
pose on his majesty's government heavy
responsibilities for acts Of the British
authorities clearly subversive of the
rights of neutral nations on the high
seas. 1t is. therefore. expected that his
majesty's government, having exercised
these possibilities. will take the steps
necessary to avoid them. and in the event
that they should unhappily occurr. will be
prepared to make fun reparation for
every act which under the rules of in
ternational law constitutes a violation of
neutral rights
Both at the beginning and in the con-
clusion of the note the statement Is
made that the United States speaks
frankly and clearly because of the friend
ly spirit which prevails between the two
governments and the candor which has
hitherto characterized their relations.
This note to Great Britain, like others
drafted during the war. may be regarded
as the work Of Robert Lansing. coun-
selor Of the State Department. and his
associates, with the additional fact that
President Wilson In this case had a
large share In its preparation. Much OF
the language in this note is Mr.. Wilson's
own, the argument being supplied by
Mr.. Lansing and his associates. Secre-
tary Bryan, 1t was stated last night, first
saw the note when 1t was read at a
Cabinet meeting last week.
