SWIFT SOCIAL PACE
IS KILLING AMERICANS
Or. Fisk Says Vitality Is Below
Standard Of Foreigners.

Philadelphia DIR. Eugene Fisk, di
rector OF hygiene at the Life Extension
institute OF New York, In an address
before the American Association For
the Advancement of Science, asserted
that the swift social and industrial
pace In the United States has reduced
the vitality OF Americans to a point far
below the standard of Great Britain
and the other nations of Europe. Sup
plementing this statement, Assistant
Statistician Kopp OF the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company of New York
said that the infusion of Slavic blood.
nearly always unhealthy, had been an
important factor In lowering the vitali-
ty OF the people as a whole.
'"The American OF 1914 Is far below
the physical standards OF his progeni-
tors" said DIR. Fisk. 1T is easily i'm
aginable that 80 per cent Of the men
examined by life insurance companies
and hospital physicians would have to
be rejected In n physical test for mill
tary service.

cial pace and have too readily ignored
the common rules of health and physi
cal well being. Now we are beginning
to see how great a price we must pay"
As many persons die annually In the
United States from ~preventable dis
eases as have been killed thus far in
the entire European war; declared f..
A. Winslow Of the New York state de-
partment Of health In an earlier adj
dress. More than 600,0 600 have fallen
In the war, and as many die annually
here from ills that can be prevented
and that are therefore much more
tragic and deplorable.
1.-THE most fearful thing about this
European war Is that 1t seems to us at
this distance SO ~wantonly useless"
said Mr.. Winslow. yet the deaths OF
40 per cent of 100000 persons In the
United States each year are equally
unnecessary.
Fully 30 per cent OF the 100000 ba-
bies who die each year before passing
their first birthday could be kept alive
by applying the merely elemental prin-
ciples Of hygiene"

Rome, Jan. 1~3.--Contrary to state
ments that have appeared in the
newspapers of London, Paris and Ber-
lin that an understanding practically
has been reached without a Servian
outlet to the Adriatic sea 1t Is stated
In Servian official quarters that this
will not now satisfy Seryia.
1t Is declared that such a conces.
sion would have been satisfactory two
years ago when the subject was dis
cussed at the London conference, but
that now, after a war In which her
life and independence were risked.
Servia could not accept a port or a
strip OF coast. What she now claims,
1t Is stated, are the Servian regions
possessed by Austria. including Bosnia,
Herzegovina and Dalmatia, which
must be assigned to her through the
principle OF nationality.

Washington. The belated publica-

before the joint congressional commits
sion on Indian matters has brought to
light a shocking state of affairs on the
Crow Indian reservation. in southern
Montana. The publication of the re-
port was the subject of bitter contro-

record indicates that the minutes of
the hearings have been modified. elimi-
mating certain disclosures Of n particu.
larly distressing character.
The record shows that, although the
Crow Indians OF that reservation had
100000 IN bank to their credit, there
was actual want on the range, several
OF the Indians dying of starvation. AT
the same time their accustomed annu-

evidence that the Indians get little, II

6reechss.6ina Cannon

The breechloading cannon were
among the earliest used. We find
them on English and other ships az
early as the last quarter Of the four
teenth century, and therefore much
before the time Of the buccaneers.
The cannon was mere tube, bound
with heavy iron rings, and was load
ed by the insertion Of the "gonne
chamber" an iron pan containing
the charge, which fitted into and
closed the breech. These guns were
very clumsy affairs in comparison
with the modern breechloader, but
the principle was the same.

PASSED A MISERABLE NIGHT
Refused Place in House. Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton Slept in
Carriage.

Even the man who does not sympa-
thize with the movement for wom-
ans rights cannot help admiring the
leaders of it. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
proved more than once, says the
Youths Companion, that she had both
physical and moral courage of high
order. She had often, say her biog-
raphers in "Heroines of Modern Prog
ress, to utter her message under the
most trying circumstances.
Once in Michigan a party of speak.
ers visited a deaf and dumb institu-
ton. Mrs. Stanton just said: There
is one comfort in visiting this place,
we shall not be asked to speak,"
when the superintendent came up
with: Ladies, the pupils are as
sembled in the chapel ready to hear
you" They spoke, while the superin-
tendent repeated in sign language
what they said. At another time their
boat was icebound in the middle of
the Mississippi river. Someone shout
ed: Speech on woman suffrage!"
