/ just the present disagreements on an

say, German agents have had a freedom
that would be denied in other countries
and which would shortly be abridged by
the United States were it not for the
tense relations that obtained between
this government and Germany.
1t is believed now, however, that il
certain things attributed to German dip
lomatic officers are sustained by con-
elusive evidence the government will be
obliged to act,
But the case against the diplomats in
question has not progressed to point
where IL has even been seriously con-
sidered by the secretary of state. The
whole matter is in the hands of the de-
partment of justice, which is intrusted
with the duty of investigating alleged
neutrality violations.
Officials here point out that there are
good many things that German agents
may do without coming in contact with
the neutrality laws. They are at liber-
ty to wage campaign of education
within certain limitations and cannot
be stopped from purchasing ammunition
or other plants. A letter published this
morning which seems to indicate that

Washington, Aug. l7.--Dismissal of
two midshipmen and the disciplining of
IL others for alleged "cribbing" at the
United States Naval academy were re-
vealed yesterday as result of the find
ings of the court of inquiry which inves-
tigated irregularities in examinations
and recitations at the academy
The midshipmen dismissed with the
approval of President Wilson were Ralph
M. Nelson, ir., of Peekskill, N. ", and
Charles M. Reagle of Wellsville, o. The
courts recommendation that the others
be disciplined was approved by Secretary
Daniels. Drastic changes in the conduct
of examinations are recommended by the
court in unanimous report of its in
quiry, begun in June. Abolition of the
practice Of giving out dope" or advance
unless heads Of departments
issue it by memoranda and less rigorous
examinations are the principle recommen-
dations.

IMMUNITY FROM CANCER.
Possibilities Seen in Discoveries by Two
Rockefeller Investigators.

POSSIBILITIES seen IN discoveries Dy lWo
Rockefeller Investigators.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE Rockefeller
institute announces through the academy
of science at Washington a discovery by
two of it's investigators whereby inn
munity from cancer, it is hoped, may be
obtained. The investigation was con-
Quoted by Drs. James b. Murphy and
John j. Morton over period of two
years. They discovered that in the white
lymph cells of the blood there are neces-
sary factors in making animals immune
from cancer. A decided increase Of the
white lymph cells gives absolute inn
munity, the physicians declare they as
certained. The investigators treated
several mice with a serum Of lymphoid
tissueand say the number of white lymph
cells in the animals almost doubled in
few days. The increase of the cells
can either be natural or through the
injection of lymph tissue.
Il was found also that two kinds Of
animals and humans were immune from
naturally immune and
those in whom immunity was induced
through the previous injection of the
lymph tissue.

Forty years of closed windows have
enfeebled the nation. Whenever the pop
ulation gains 100 per cent, insanity in
creases 200 per cent. and feeble-minded-
ness 300 per cent.
Windows are opening again. Right
use promotes efficiency and health.
There are dangers in wrong openings.
Windows may be opened to let ous air
sewage. In forced ventilation, sewage
is diluted with so-called fresh air, six
parts in 10000 being assumed safe. Yet
no city mixes sewage and drinking water
in these proportions, although water Is
of less Importance than air.
ANY building may become a warm,
open-air school with the benefits found
in the expensive cold ones. Several ele-
mentary and high schoolsin one city,
all the schools--are so operated. As a
by product, they save fuel and current
enough annually TO repay cost of in
stallation.
Live air is new term in ventilation.
1t carries humidity rightly and invigor-
ates. Dead, dry air depresses and weak
ems.
The tight school produces anemia, ade-
haaAa1
weakness, tuberculosis, stupidity, and
disorder. The warm open-air school with
windows open every day in the year has
opposite results.
Even the rural school must be rescued
from vicious ventilation which keeps the
windows shut.
