Admiral Fiske, Who Caused Naval Storm,
 Will Be 61 On Sunday

Rear Admiral Bradley Allen Fiske, U. S. N, whose proffered resignation as aid for operations in the navy de- partment at Washington recently caused a storm in naval circles, will be sixty-one years old on Sunday. The Admiral was born at Lyons, N. Y., June 13, 1854, and will thus go on the retired list, under the operation of the age limit, one year hence. His father was a clergyman. He graduated from the Naval Academy, standing second in the class, in, 1874. He was the navigator of the Petre1 at the battle of, Manila. and wasO mentioned for eminent and conspicuous conduct in battle" Admiral Dewey also praised his ttherotc conduct on that occasion.
 As aid for operations at the navy department, Rear Admiral F'iske testi- fled before a House committee last December, and his statements did not agree with the optimistic opinions ex- pressed by the Secretary of the Navy. Admiral F'iske told the committee that the United States is behind oth- CT nations in mines and aircraft, and that, in case of attack upon our coasts, the need would be keenly feIt.''
 Admiral Fiske continued: 'eEvery navy, with the exception of our own, has an organization that is thoroughly military Every possible contingency has been carefully worked out and provided for, and the game of war is changed from time to time as condi- tions change. Every nation that has navy, including Argentina, handles that arm of the defense through a general staff. with the sole exception of the United States The United States, he said, if engaged in war under present conditions, would have to handle it's navy in a haphazard d way.
 Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels testified before the same committee, and expressed the opinion that the United States sea fighting force is efficient and capable under present conditions. It is believed that this difference of opinion as to the status of the navy led to friction. which came to head when Admiral F'is<e suddenly offered his resignation to secretary Daniels. Admiral Fiske is the inventor of a number of devices now in use in the navies of the United States and other countries His naval telescope sight has greatly improved accuracy in naval gunnery.

NEW LAW ACCORDS
 WITH COURT DECISION

Hartford, June 12.-The decision of the supreme court of errors on Thursday, in the case of Kennerson, administratrix, against the Thames Towboat Company, is of interest to all employers of labor. inasmuch as 1t declares legal a course of action which the recent Legislature enacted into statute at it's recent session ana Pafter the case in question had been argHed before the supreme court
 It will be recalled that, in the case decided, compensation was asked for an employee who was killed while en- gagged in employment outside the state and the commissioner granted it. One of the grounds of the appeal to the courts was that the law has no ex- tra territorial effect and this cpn- tention is denied in the decision.
 The Legislature Of 1915, in it's ser ies of amendments to the compensa- ton law, covered this ground by pro- viding that an employee hired while in this state shall be entitled to the benefits of act, if injured in the course of his employment while out side the limits of the state. It was also provided that person injured in this state while in the employ of a foreign corporation was also subject to the benefits of the act. The amendment in question was one of those presented and explained by Commissioner Fred M. Williams and, like the others, was endorsed by all the commissioners as being necessary to carry out the intent of the law. It met with no opposition either in the Senate or the House.

First Naval Hero


 The first naval hero of the United States-now almost forgotten-was Jeremiah O'Briens. a Maine man whose racial descent is clearly indi- cated by his name. He commanded an American vessel in the first naval battle of the revolution, which was fought near Machias, Maine, 40 years ago today, June 12. 1775. Some Iit= tile time before an English schooner, the Margranetto, was at Machias, and a number of the people of the town, led by Jeremiah O'Brien, a sailor, and Benjamin Foster, conspired to capture her. The attempt was suc- cessfu1, and with O'Brien in command the Margranetto made a voyage to the Bay of FSundy. An English schooner and Under were sent out to look for the Margranetto, and when O'Brien returned to Machias he found them awaiting him. The first naval battle of the United States was fought then and there, and O'Brien and his men added the schooner and tender to their prizes.

FOURTH or JU1Y TErANUs,

The American people have reason to congratulate themselves over at least one achievement, and that is the rapid disappearance of Fourth of July tetanus- While the total casualties of the glorious day are less than a quarter what they were five years ago the deaths from tetanus have shown a much greater reduction. In 1903 there were 417 Fourth of July victims of that dread maIady, in 1909 the number had been reduced to 13O, while from last seasons celebration there were but 3. This is life conser- vation in the true sense of the term. Why not entirely eliminate the dis ease this year?'' asks the United States Public Health Service
 The blank cartridge wound is the great cause of Fourth of July tetanus. When driven into the tissues the wad- ding carries with, it innumerable bacili, and the absorption of the | poisonous products gwen off during the growth of these organisinns pro- duces the disease. The baciIIf thrive
 only in the absence of oxygen It is for this reason that the physician en- | larges the wound of inlet and after removing all foreign material, dresses
 the injury in such a manner that de- l velopment of the organisms is in
 h1o1red In order to accomplish this l it is usually necessary to administer a general anaesthetic. Anti-tetanic
 serum is of great value as a prophy-
 tactic measure, but it should be given
 soon after the receipt of the injury. l Parents should realize that Fourth
 of July tetanus is easy to prevent but
 extremely difficult to cure No blank
 cartridge wound is too trivial to re-
 ceive careful medical attention How l ever slight the injury may appear, l summon physician and at once adopt energetic measures. Reliance
 upon home treatment may prove dis l astrous and result in the sacrifice of
 life In 1903, before the widespread recognition of the possibilities of pre- venttve treatment, one case of tetanus l developed to every 4 blank cartridge wounds reported; in 1914, there was
 but l case to every 40 such injuries
 This is the measure of the success of
 preventive treatment.
