667 MERCHANT SHIPS
 LOST IN YEAR OF WAR

Lloyd's statistical summary of vessels of 100 tons upward totally lost, con- demned or otherwise removed shows that during 1914 the effective mercan- tile marine of the world was reduced by 667 vessels, of ,194 tons, of which 491 were steamships of S7O,662 tons,' and 275 sailing vessels of 1S4,450 tons.
 This is an increase over the figures of 1913 of 9SS,OOO tons and is due ai- most wholly to war operations. The United Kingdom lost 401 ves- sels of 229,17O tons by warships or by mines, while the figures for Germany are 1S vessels of 67,641 tons.
 Apart from the war, the greatest losses of the worlds shipping are un- der the heading of wrecked" 256 yes. sels, of 2SS.47O tons, or 40 to 45 per cent of the total losses being thus clas- sified.
 While the United Kingdom has lost 22 per cent of the tonnage and 2.43 per cent of the vessels owned, the losses of neutral countries total 2.37 per cent and 2.G2 per cent, respectively.

There is much said about lawbreak. ing and law breakers. and there Is con stant conflict between man made law and the people whose actions 1t Is de signed to govern Laws are too often ohafing barriers to the free action oI the individual, and many of them ir truth seem frivolous and inconsequen- tial But it is will be found that the broad made rules of personal con duct are euriously identical with the laws of God and of the physical well being
 One may evade the statutes of man and dodge the corner policeman with success, but In the end one canno, evade the law of nature, nor if our re- lieious teachers tell us alright, the law of God To evade the broad and jus. laws of man is therefore to run into a hlnd alley from which thert IS no ina escape.

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 16, 1915.

The refusal of the government to dis cuss the question of arbitration in con nection with the Arabic sinking neet not be considered surprising in view the fact that President Wilson has re peatedly insisted that it is justice tha is demanded first; not payment. Tn, question of remuneration has not en- tered in any degree into the variou; communications addressed to the Ger mans relative to their naval acts. Wha America has demanded is that Germany concede the principle of the contention that such acts as Germany has com mitted in connection with her subma- rine warfare were not in keeping witt justice, humane principles or the pre-. cepts of international law granting to neutrals the right to travel the higt seas unmolested. That this demand is founded upon justice and a proper re gard for the rights of others cannot bt denied. The United States cannot con. cede the right of any nation to arbitrar fly proceed in defiance of established custom to the detriment of others, re. gardless of any plea of necessity. Tt grant that Germany Is right in tn present case means nothing less thar that others may assume the same arbi trary privilege whenever they desire. it is agreed that Germany may carr. the zone of her naval operations where ever she may feet inclined, there is nc reason for disputing the right of other, to do likewise. If that nation is per. mitted to tramp rough shod over wha ever may stand in the way of her de sires. others will assume to themselve, the same privilege whenever it may suit their inclination. The base of the present international dispute rests pri. marily on the establishment of the war zone around the British Isles.
 If Germany is passively allowed Il declare the open highways of the sea zone of maritime belligerency and is allowed to attack and destroy anything entering therein which may seem re- sential to her we'll being, regardless of who is injured by such action, the world will speedily have to abandon all rights to unrestricted navigation

profits. This year the increased excess of inports Is due to expenditures abroad and to deficiency of exports of goods to meet the bill" Our New York con temporary continues:
 This process is cumulative. British exports for July were under $50,000,000 not one-fourth last years. The de- crease of exports Tn July by s170.000, COG was accompanied by an increase of inn ports of ss0oo00o0. An alteration ol currents of trade by a quarter of billion dollars in single month over matches even our tremendous surges between princedom and pauperdom, It is notable that the decrease of imports to Great Britain from the continent is matched almost exactly by the increase of imports from the United States. Ii hardly becomes us to be making "poor mouth" over the war. and creat- ing a disturbance over the derange- ment of trade in this or that article
 
 ing so well.
 These trade figures, the Times fur ther points out, throw a strange light upon the German blockade During the first year of war, England imports were actually larger than the year before and progressively so. In August last year British imports were only s210,- 900, 900; last July they were $375,000,000 The increases were chiefly in food, thos. of meat having doubled, and all others being larger. Yet starvation of England was the aim of the war zone decree That is the test of whether the British or the German navy, is fulfilling its purpose better.
 "The decrease of England's exports explains itself. The chief decline is il coal and the Welsh coal strike cost a million tons. Altogether within five months there have been 2S6 British strikes. costing three-quarter of a mil lion days work Adding to this the ab sence from productive labor of Kitch- ener's army, the wonder is that the United Kingdom is able to export any | roods"-Boston Record.

SERUM TO END
 CANCER DEATH

one hundred per cent success n the treatment of practically all forms oi 'oancer-sach Is the prediction for the near future made by Dr. A. Judson Quimby. pr. Quimby, for years in the nrst rank of cancer specialists, Is K hospitals, and president of the Roent- gen- Ray society of New York.
 the basis for Dr. Quimbys deelara- tion Is found in the remarkable sue cess achieved by treatment of cancer with the serum recently discovered by pr. Silas F. Beebe, of Cornell Medica school.
 The use of the new serum in com bnation with surgical operations will Dr. Quimby contends, eliminate all danger of death from cancer in cases where vital organs have not been com pletely conquered.
 While pr. Quimby claims for the new treatment that it has to a surprising extent lowered the death rate for can cer. and will send it down still further he does not assume it is "cure." Sucf an absolute cure will not be discovered he says, until the cause of cancer, now only problematical, is discovered
 Radum and Serum.
 Dr. Quimby, after using radium for eleven years in treating cancer, chang ed to the new serum treatment about year and a half ago. Under the radium treatment. the specialist reported sue cessful results in 15 per cent of the cases.
 Under the new treatment, using Dr Beebes serum alone, the percentage of success sprang to 40 per cent. Dr. Quimby explained that the cases he treats, for the most part, are cases which have been turned over to him as last resort.
 Not only can the new serum be used in cases of inoperable cancer" said Dr Quimby, "but as an aid to the surgeon where the knife Is used it will prevent death from Secondary cancer When cancer is removed there is danger that some part of the poisonous tumoI will be left.
 "This gets into the blood. is carried to some other part of the body and | lther grows as secondary cancer Serious Non- injurious.
 Surgery and the X-rays cannot pre- vent this. They work locally. But tht new serum operates against the pois onous cells in whatever part of the body they are. If the injection is used, sur gical specialists will be relieved of the fear of this after danger.
 Another advantage of the new treat ment is that it does not affect healthy cells, whereas X-rays and radium very materially injures them. Radium. by destroying a larger area of tissue fl Ivital organs, reduces the chance of re- Icovery.
 "The ignorance of the public, result ing in not attending to cancer until if is practically hopeless, is one of the largest factors at present in cancer mortality"

This years excess of imports into England is to be interpreted diff ferently from last years, when it sig nified the collection of investments and
