PRESIDENT REVIEWS
ATLANTIC SQUADRON
Is Greeted by Great 0utburst
Of Patriotism.

New York, May 1S.-President
Wilson reviewed the Atlantic feet in
the Hudson river and at luncheon
rendered to him on shore by the city
of New York told distinguished
gathering of navy officers. army Off
GERS and civilians what the country
and its navy stood for. The great
battleships that lay in the river, he
said. were engines to promote the
interests of humanity"
"The inspiring thing about Ameri-
ca" the president asserted, sis that
she asks nothing for herself, except
that what she has right to ask for
humanity itself. We want no nations
property; we wish to question no ma
TONS honor; we wish to stand sell

Of the nation.

The president points out that the
Advertised warning to passengers not
to sail on the Lusitania is an agra
walton Of Germany's guilt.
| The right Of Americans to use
merchant ships, whatever flag they
fly, for travel purposes is sustained.
Those who went to their death as a
result of the attack of German sub
marine were entirely justified in sail
ing on the Lusitania, the president
asserts, and they were entirely justi-
fed in expecting that their safety
would not be endangered, even in
case they should encounter a German
submarine.
The note expresses the horror of
the American people that Germany
should so far disregard the highest
humanitarian consideration, even in
the midst of war, as to cause the
deaths of noncombatants, including
neutrals.
1t takes up the various cases in
which Germany has ignored the rights
Of the United States citizens under
the law OF nations, which particularly
contemplates that neutrals and non.
combatants shall not be made to sui.
fer the cruelties of war.
Note Cites Objections.
The note cites that objection Of
this country to Germany's present
method of attack against the trade of
her enemies lies in "the practical i'm
possibility of employing submarines
In the destruction of commerce with
out disregarding those rules of fair.
ness, reason, justice and humanity
which all modern opinion regards as
imperative"
President Wilson refers to the i'm.
possibility Of officers of submarine
visiting merchantmen at sea and
examining it's papers and cargoes.
If the Germans cannot put a prize
crew on the merchantmen the presi-
dent says they cannot sink them
without leaving the crews and all on
board to the mercy of the sea in
small boats. These facts. the presi-
dent asserts, are understood to be
admitted by the German government.
After three days of preparation by /
President Wilson, with the assistance
Of his cabinet, the document was final
ly dispatched. A copy Of the note
was delivered to Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador, by the
state department, as courtesy, and
copies were similarly cabled to the
American ambassadors at London,
Paris and Petrograd for their own in

"Tt is not pretention on our part to
say that we are privileged to stand
for what every nation would desire to
stand for and speaking for those
things which all humanity must de-
sire"
The spirit which brooded over the
river, said the president, was lust
solemn evidence that the force OF
America is the force of moral prin-
ciple. that there is not anything else
she loves and that there is not any
thing else for which she will con-

From the moment he set foot on
shore until after the luncheon when
he returned to the Mayflower to re-
view the feet his progress through
the streets was continuous ovation
remarked upon by those who accom-
panied him as the most enthusiastic
they had witnessed since the presl-

Vigorous Note Sent
to Kaiser.
LANGUAGE VERY CLEAR
President Wilson Objects to Ger
man Sea Warfare.

Washington, May 14.-The United
States government has called the
German government to account for
violation Of American rights on the
! high seas. eliminating in the sinking
of the Lusitania with the loss of more
than 100 American lives.
President Wilson's note asks that
Germany give adequate assurance
that it will discontinue submarine op.
erations endangering the lives of non.
combatants.
The communication, which was ca.
bled to Berlin over the signature Of
Secretary Bryan concludes with this
significant sentence: 'The imperial
German government will not expect
the government of the United States
to omit any word or act necessary
to the performance of it's sacred duty
of maintaining the right of the United
States and its citizens and of safe
guarding their free exercise and en-.
joyment."
The note expresses the confident ex-
pectation of the United States that
Germany will disavow the acts of
which this government complains and
that it will make PREPARATION, so far
as reparation is possible, for injuries
which are without measure"
Germany is asked to take immedi.
ate steps to prevent the recurrence
Of anything so obviously subversive
Of the principles of warfare for which
the imperial German government in
the past so wisely and so firmly con-
tended"
Language Very Courteous.
President Wilson's communication,
though setting forth in unmistakable
terms the firm determination of the
United States to obtain protection
for its citizens in the exercise of
rights guaranteed by international
law, is phrased in exceedingly cour.
teous language.

NO ROOM FOR DOUBT
 AS TO IMPROVEMENT
 OF RUSSIA WHEN sSDFsY''

Petrograd, May 14,-A report on the results of compulsory temperance, as introduced into Russia since the beginning of the war. has been pre- pared by Professor A. l. Mendelson of the Russian Society of the National Hea4th.
 Tn the opinion of Prof. Mendeason, the. beneficial Results of compulsory ,teznperance are not open to doubt In proof Of his contention he cites the re- auction or alcoholic sickness in Pc trograd and of heIattendance at an tt-aIcohoIic sanitariums, the decline in the number of eases of dipsOnaania and reduction of indirect manifesto tiors of alcoholic sickness of traunna- tic injuries and suicides. For example, from July to December there were in 1913 ninety seven suicides, while in 1914 the total was reduceds to 14-
 Other results of temperance says the Professor, were an increase in say ingss bank deposits and a reduction In the number of small loans made by the pawn shops. For the first two months of 1915 the savings banks of Petrograd received deposits exceeding the figures of the corresponding months a year ago by one-and za-half million roubles while throughout Russia the deposits increased by a Hundred million rUubIeS.

''The fur seal herd contains approx imately 294,OO0 individuals, 9S,25G of them being bearing female seals. This ratio of one seal bull to forty bearing cows meets all possible de- Tnands of safety and conservation
 The law of 1912, stopping commer- cia1 killing has greatly increased the male seals, The male seals will be greatly in !excess by 1916. The herd is in excellent condition YearIing seals rarely come to land at all until after the close of the killing season. The increase in the number of bear ing seal cows is small. Marking of breeding reserves with permanent hot iron brands is practicable. Meth of killing seals is not objectionable from the humane standpoint but shorter drives are desirable.

 ON SEAL KILLING ON ALASKA COAST

Washington, May 14.-Congress- 1ona1 legislation to cary out recoIn- mendattons of a commission of three scientific experts with 9 view to re- sumption of comnermial killing of seals at the Pribilof Islands in the Boring Sea will be recommended next winter by the secretary of com merce, William c.

 Their report whose revision has Just been completed, points out that the treaty effective December Is, 1911 between, the United States, Great Brit ains Japan and Russia, is essentially an agreement by which the foreign nations relinquish their right to take seals on the high seas in exchange for a share in land sealing to be con ducted by the United States Great Britain and Japan paid large sums to retire their sealing fleets, obviously expecting to be reimbursed in the near future by their 15 per cent share Of land seaIsS' The United States reserved the right to suspend land sealing if necessary to protect and preserve the seal herd and to increase its number.

ABSENCE OF SANITATION CAUSES MUCH ANEMIA
 IN THE CANAL ZONE

Panama, May 14.-The cabIed re- port that sixty per cent of the popu- 1atfon of the Republic of Panama had been found affected with the hook worm disease by pr. l. W. Hackett, of the Internation Health Con1nlis- sion of the Rockefeller Foundation, is interesting in other respects. The re- port indicates that of the adult popu- lation 67 per cent are affected while of the children practically 79 per cent have the disease in more or less pronounced degree.
 The report of pr. Hackett is the re- suit of more than seven months in- vesigation in all parts of the country. Ten thousand adults same under di- rect examination.
 Routine examination of the blood. '' says the report, showed that large majority of persons living in the tn- terior of the republic. are directly an- emfc, the average blood being only 59 per cent of normal, indicating a dangerous degree of lowered res1s- tance Since the parisite affects the children most heavily, stunting their bodies and minds and causing them to fall an easy prey to other diseases the figures reveal an alarming con dition existing among the rising gen. eration. This state of physical debili- ty is due to the complete absence o1 all sanitary equipment and regulation in both school houses and dwellings in the interior
 The report shows that more than 5000 homes were visited and instruc- tive talks given to nearly 12.000 per sons. Lectures were given in & schools Three laboratories are now dorking in various parts of the re. public.

 t4The manufacture and sale of mifi- tary powders to our government and to foreign governments have always been treated as confidential We shall not change our policy now shall neither affirm nor deny any of the sem sationaI rurnors or reports that may be current
 A report that the Du Pont Go has recently filled German orders is re- gapded here as absurd.
