ROCHESTER, n. Y. Sept. 9.--Tri-
butte to the part that newspapers play
in the promotion of public health was
paid by DR.. W. E. Park, commissioner
of health of Rockford, ILL.,, in an ad-
dress today before the American Pub
lie Health association. The depart
ments of health in the larger cities,
he said, had taken the newspapers in
to their confidence and had secured
the cooperation of the press in thu
presentation of health information.
Discussing the differences in health
administration in the larger and
smaller cities, DR.. Park said that
good ordinances generally prevailed in
both the big cities and the small
ones, but ordinances were worthless
without public sentiment, and the
smaller cities often lost sight of the
fact that public sentiment must be won
by judicious publicity.

CLAIM WHEAT BARONS IN CHI.
ARE BOOSTING PRICE

At the department of justice in
Washington, Chicago grain men are
accused of boosting the grain prices
by speculation. War has little to do
with the rise. it is claimed.
Over 891, OOO, 900 bushels of wheat
were raised here this year. United
States requires about 600, 200, 900
bushels, the authorities say. Only
IT'S, 900 900 bushels of the grain has
been exported is their claim, and
there is n o cause for soaring wheat
prices.
J.. c. Merrill, secretary of the Chi-
cago board of trade, denied this.
"The war in Europe is the only
cause for boosted wheat prices and
an investigation will show that. We
have half of the people of the globe
depending upon the other half for
food. The high prices are caused by
the fear that the world will run short
of wheat before the next harvest"

PORT and Sfarboard Patriotism
(From the New York SUM-

DR.. c. J. HeXamer Of Philadelphia
who is German on the port and Amer
lean on the starboard side of his
hyphen and who has been presiding
over hyphenated doings on a large
scale out in San Francisco. confessed
in an address that he is not proud OF
his country-that is of his starboard
country. Il is because of the war
munitions commerce.
"A nation" said the excellent Herr
Doctor, speaking for port as opposed
TO starboard patriotism. which prays
tpr peace on Sundays and supplies
England with arms and ammunition
all the rest of the week is, TO say the
least, hypocritical."
This is pretty severe. but not one
whit too severe on a nation neutral
that would sell arms TO a nation bel
hgerent, even with or without week
ly day of for prayer. OF course not
an ounce of explosive or a weapon
OF any sort has been sold BY the
United States to England or any 9TH
er OF the countries at war. On the
contrary, very rigid measures have
been taken to prevent so much as one
or our discarded Krak rifles reaching
the helligerents. American merchants
and manufacturers on the other hand
have been doing and are likely to
continue doing a roaring business in
selling war munitions to first corners
on the market, a business from which

many of DR.. Hexamer's sagacious
fellow hyphenates nave no doubt
made substantial profits by judicious
attention to the stock markets. All
this. il should be hardly necessary to
say, Is quite another matter from a
nation engaging in such traffic. OF
course DR.. Hexamer knows this, and
that makes it all the more regretta-
bic that his looseness of language
should contribute to the already too
great confusion OF thought on an ex-
tremely irritating topic.
But perhaps DR.. Hexamers own
mental lucidity may temporarily
leave something to be desired in the
stress of these exciting days. For
instance. in the same address he says:
From the way most war reports
read we might just as well tear up
the Declaration Of independence and
become loyal subjects Of King
George"
Not a bit of it. not bit Of it. Herr
Doctor. We got through with King
Georges for good and all many
year ago and all the vast supplies
of not only munitions but of men
as well, our last George was able
to buy so freely on the continent
OF Europe for our destruction here at
home were not sufficiently potent to
keep US his loyal subjects.
II really is to be reared that the
excellent Herr Doctors port boiler is
a little overheated.

A Submarine a Week
From The New York Tribune.J

Specializing on the number of craft
at present engaged in harassing Brit
aims sea-borne commerce, the Lon
don correspondent of The Tribune
observes that there appears to be
building submarines at the rate of
one a week"
As future possibilities depend very
largely on the capacity of the yards
in this way, ii is important to under
stand exactly what is meant by "the
rate OF one a week. II is generally
believed that at the beginning of the
war Germany had ABOUT thirty-ihree
Of these vessels in commission. The
intention before the war, as far as
we know from the published announ-
cements, was to lay down six a year.
It can hardly be doubted that since
the war began more were provided
for, but with the yards at disposal.
trebling the number provided for in
the original program would be pref
ty good work. That would bring the
number Of new submarines up TO only
eighteen by the end Of this year.
In all probability, however, build
ing facilities have been considerably
increased and il is very likely that
Hoboken, zeebrugge and other places
have, as 1t is reported. been turned
10 account. From an apparently
trustworthy source the news came
some months ago that forty new 300
ton vessels had been ordered by the
German government, but at that time
It was not supposed that they would
be ready before the end of the year
after next.
According to information said TO
have been received by the British
government factories all over Ger
many are now at work on different
parts Of submarines and these parts
are transported by rail 10 the naval
bases and there fitted together. Some
such device would be necessary to
account for the prodigious rate of
production attributed to the Germans
for certainly before the war there
were few yards concerned in build
irs submarines, as far as we know.
