Prof. Jacques Loeb,
 Famous Jewish Biol ologist, Is 56 To- day

Prof. Jacques Loeb, the distin- g1ished biologist who has gained worldwide fanna by his experiments in the artificial reproduction of ani-
 nal life, was born in Germany fifty six years ago today. Tn his experi-
 ments Dr. Loeb. has surpassed all
 other inyesti gators in bringing the egg of a frog artiffciaIly fertilized to the stage of a frog. Other biolo- gists have succeeded in bringing ar pole stage, but Prof. Loeb alone has succeeded in advancing the process to practically the last stage.
 Prof. Loeb, who is now a member
 Of the staff of the Rockefeller Insti- ute in New Y ork, received his medi- caIe education in Berlin, Munich and Strassburga and was associated with the faculties of German universities
 and the biological station at Naples.
 Italy, before coming to America in 1891 The young Hebrew scientists first connection on this side of the Atlantic was at Bryn Mawr College.
 For decade, until 1902, he was a member of the faculty of the Uni versity of Chicago. In the latter year he became professor of physiology at the University of California, and re- mained at Berkeley until 1910, when he was appointed head of the depart ment of Biological experiment. at the
 Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re- search.
 Although associated with an insti- tution founded by the worlds veal thiest capitalist, Prof. Loeb is said to have .1eanings toward socialism, .
 and he was refused membership in a
 New ork club on this ground.
 Dr. Loeb finds an analogy and bio lIogy to explain the European war He compares peaceful Europe to a jar l in which vast numbers of crustacean hare swimming. By the addition of a trace of acid the. inhabitants of the 1 jar are seized by an impulse to rush
 to the point whence the strongest light comes. and lose all wills or de-
 sires of their own. Certain ideas as 1 to patriotism and national honor,
 fostered by the rulers and military
 caste, constitute the "acid'' in the European jar. and to these the in- habitants of the jar respond automat- ically, losing all freedom of will and action. 5 ts5f5

THE KAISER'S AMBITION
 FOR A NAVY

As a boy. the Kaiser was the favor ite grandchild of Queen Victoria, and, when on his yisists. to England, his favorite haunts were the Portsmouth dockyards. He received many honors on his accession to power, but none delighted him so much as the Queens act in creating him an admiral of the British fleet. No German suffered greater humiliation than the Kaiser at the wretched showing made by German warships in comparison with those of other Powers at the naval display which opened the KieI Canal in 1895. Again, when the British fleet in the South African war, f'held up'' several German vessels which were attempting to carry on trade with the Boers, none was quite so furious as the Enperor-furious because the overwhelming naval power of Eng land made it impossible to do any thing except to swallow. the insult The tsWorld's Work

SOCIALISM

The first modern preacher of So~ cialism was Francis M. c. Fourier, a Frenchman, who was born in France, 143 years ago today, April T. 1772. Fourier was the son of g. nnendraper. and commenced life as a haberdash- : er's clerk. In 17e6 he was drafted into the army as 8 private, and after a service of two years was discharg- ed as an invalid. In 1799, while em- p1oyed by a grain merchant in Mar seilles, he was ordered to dump into the sea a. shipload of corn, in order to maintain prices. although the peo- pie were then dying of famine. This heart1ess act of commercial knavery inspired him with a lifelong hatred of the social system under which such things were possible, and he turned his attention to evolving a new scheme for the organization of socie- ty along more humane lines. His books, written while he was working as g. cashier at $25O a year, enjoyed little sale during his lifetime, but soon after his death in 1887 Fourier ism gained great popularity in both France and America. The Utopian Socialism of Fourier was soon sup planted by the ssscientff1c Socialism of the Marxian school.

ASK PRESIDENT TO
 AID TEXTILE TRADE
 AND SAVE INDUSTRY
Manufacturers Say 100000 Will Lose Work Unless Ger
 man Dyes Come In.

Washington, April "A delegation representing American textile manu- lecturers called at the White House yesterday to appeal to the President to take steps to get dye-stuffs from Germany.
 The manufacturers said that if dyes could not be had within short while more than 100000 operatives would be thrown out of work and 200 plants would have to quit business, as the supply of dye-stuffs in the United States was practically exhausted.
 The delegation consisted of Charles B. Leippe president of the National Association of Hosiery and Under wear Manufacturers; Daniel F. Wa ters, president, and William J. Wall, citation; George Deming,f counsel for that organization. and MT. Metz
 The delegation ridiculed statements made by Secretary of Commerce Red- field and other officials that dye-stuffs would soon be manufactured in this country. MT Metz declared that thus far only the fundamentals from which the dyes are made have been discov- cred and that it would be years before enough could be made to supply the demand. The callers declared that Thomas A. Edison, who is supposed to have discovered the method of making these dyes, had himself ridiculed the Idea of the United states being able tc make them.
 The committee asked that the govA ernment. seek to have Great Britain tighten the stringency ,of the recent order in council preventing the ex- portation of all goods from Germany or of German origin # Secretary Redf1eld said after ths Cabinet meeting yesterday that the difficulty of obtaining dye-stuffs had been increased by the usage of the ba. sic elements of dye-stuffs by German in the manufacture of explosives. Ever l though Great Britain should consen
 to allow the exportation of dye-stuffi
 from Germany to the United States h, said. it would be difficult to obtain tn, materials because Germany was no permitting the manufacture of larg, QuanGties. l..
