on GERMANI''S TREATMENT or

Dr. DernburE says Money Levics Are
Authorized. and Denies That Belgium
l. Formally" Annexed by Germany.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. Lord
Northcliffe says that Germany by max
ing huge money levies on Belgian towns
was carrying on war in a medieval and
barba tous way.
Will you please point out to your
readers that the raising of money in an
occupied territory is expressly permitted
In the form OF levies under the Hague
Convention Of 1907, which also stipu-
lates the manner In whi6 Il Is TO be
done and the purposes for which the
money may serve. carrying on the ad-
ministratlon and keeping the occupying
force.
Furthermore. the noble lord would do
well to look up the British field service
which such leyios are EXPIRE ssly recon-
tributing the burden OF war over the
whole az the population of an occupied
territory.
Lord Northcliffe Furthermore complains
that Germany permits the Belgians TO
starvc
In the first place. Germany does her
best that they should not do so. In the
SECOND place, it is England that in de-
fame az international law seizes all car
goes Of foodstuffs, against which the
United States have just protested. II Is
she and nat Germany that wages war
on womsn and children.
May | add that Mr., Maurice Laws as
sertiun that Germany had formally an
neXed Belgium is quite untrue?

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir: Ma
tons In the course OF their history
undergo various phases OF national char
acter. The present era has been aptly
characterized as the EZRA Of the great
sob. II began In 1895 with the free
silver agitation. This was distinctly a
sob propaganda. Its contagion has
spread to all our institutions, until to-day
We are inflicted with so many ramihca-
tons OF the malady that 1t is impossible
to classify them properly.
ien"rdlly speaking the present ora
takes the following forms In the character
above stated:
]. ENtralegal commissions
:. Connscation of property under guse
OF 'uplift" and police power"
3. Interstate morals regulations.
4. Morals police.
3. Subjugation OF personal liberties OF
minorities by whimsical majoritles
6. Invasion OF foreign States for the
Service OF mankind"
:. Coddling criminals
:. Extension Of the doctrine OF the "un-
written law" ad ininltum.

Board Of Health Adopts New
Sanitary Code Against
Vigorous Opposition.
NO MORE SECRET FORMULA

a completely revised Sanitary Code was
adopted by the Board Of Health at It's
regular meeting yesterday. This is the
first time in fifteen years that the code
has been so revised. There are twenty
three new sections in II. one Of the most
important OF which regulates the sale Of
proprietary medicines. requiring that the
names Of every ingredient shall he regis
tered with the Board of Health.
This regulation, the first OF It's kind
ever passed by health officials in this city.
goes into effect on December 81 1915.
The board deemed it best to allow this
time to the druggists so that they might
dispose of the stock already on hand. The
section states that the information listed
with the department is to be strictly
confidential and viii not be open to public
inspection.
THE regulation speaks for itself" said
Health Commissioner Goldwater. when
asked to comment upon it, After de-
cember 81 next the manufacturers OF pro-
prietary medicines can bring their prod-
ucts before the public only when they
have put "A label on the bottles showing
the ingredients OF their compound. or
have filed the list OF them with the Health
Department II the board considers tho
medicine injurious to the public 1t will
not allow 1t to be sold"
