Admiral Blue Seeks Sea Duty.

Rear Admiral Victor Blue has again
asked the Secretary of the Navy to re-
lieve him from duty as CHIEF OF the
bureau of navigation. Aside from the
fact that Admiral Blue thinks he mas
carried the burdens of the bureau long
enough, he desires to serve his tour
of duty aaoat. Last summer Admiral
Blue made similar request. but the
Secretary refused to consider 1t, as he
did not wish to make a change while
he was preparing his estimates for
Congress. 1t is altogether probable
that Admiral Blue will be relieved
about the first of the year, and given
command of battleship.

RUSHING TOESCAPE

Hundreds of English and Irish
men Strive to Leave

CROWD OF 900 BARRED
FROM SAILING FOR U. S.
Action Taken After Wild Scene at
Liverpool-Conscription Antici-
pated and Feared.

LIVERPOOL, November 6.-Nine hun
dred Irishmen who intended to sail for
New York today on the Cunard line
steamship Saxonia were prevented by the
steamship company from taking passage.
The company declined, to permit them to
sail after there had been several stormy
encounters with street crowds, which took
the view that able-bodied men should not
be permitted to evade liability to mill
tary service in this manner
The arrival of the Irishmen in Liver
pool drew crowd outside the steam
ship offices. Two -Irishmen were knocked
down by women. Others were set upon
and decorated with white feathers.
Called towards and Traitors.
Ignoring cries of "Cowards" "Traitors."
and refusing to listen to appeals of re-
cruiting sergeant, the Irishmen marched
to the dock When they arrived there
the SaXonias f1remen, witnessing the
street encounters and catching the spirit
of the crowd, informed the steamship
company they would not leave with the
Saxonia If the Irishmen were permitted
to sail.
The company, after brief meeting,
upheld the firemen and refused permission
to sail to all British OF military age. 1t
was stated in addition that the same
course would be followed in future on all
Cunard liners. and that it was hoped
other lines would follow the same pro
cedure.
Five of the detained men afterward en-
listed.
Crowds Ask Passports.
LONDON, November 6.-Daily in
creasing crowds of youths of military
age are besieging the passport de-
partment of the foreign office. seeking
permits which they hope will enable
them to escape the CONSUMPTION they
anticipate and fear. Most of Them ap-
parently have discovered relatives in
America and elsewhere whom they
are obliged to visit
The rush has been so great since
Lord Derbys recruiting scheme was
promulgated that in the last three
days more than 900 applicants of mil
itary age have been put back while
the authorities decide how to deal with
the situation.
The Saturday Review, referring to the
crowds of Irish emigrants, demands a
strict inquiry as to where the money
comes from to pay the fares of these
men, who are of the poorer classes, and
the additional $50 which they must have
on landing.
GLASGOW, November 6.-About two
hundred Irishmen eligible for military
service sailed today by the Anchor Line
| steamer California for New York The
most strenuous efforts of seven recruiting
sergeants, who were authorized to promise
a refund of their fares to those who en-
listed. resulted in the enlistment of only
two men. The public were not allowed
on the quay, and there were no demon
strations

That 1t will follow the course Of this

but until definite action is taken there
is nothing else to do but to repeat
the precautions which were taken rel
alive to the Eitel. This will mean

the allies and the ships Of those coun-
tries may as well settle down for an
other three weeks watch.
That there is any better opportunity
for this vessel to get away than there

doubted, and should it get away there
Is no prospect that 1t would be able
to survive on its prizes else it would
not now have put into port. Daring
as it's officers have been and doubt

can come to its rescue and discre-

OBTAINING THE TUsERcULous.

Following a verdict of guilty brought
in by a jury in the criminal superior
court against the inmate Of the Under
cliff tuberculosis sanatorium who shot
a nurse and was charged with assault
with intent to kill, the sentence of
three to five years in state prison was
imposed. 1t was a sentence based
upon the crime committed, though
from tho very fact that the accused
was a patient in a state tuberculosis
institution indicates that prison is no
place for him because of the condition
of his health and because Of the dan
ger to the other prisoners.
This situation gives support to the
plea Of the state tuberculosis COM
missioners in their report where rec
ommendation is made that there be
provision made for the detention of
cause Of their actions are a menace to
the rest of community. Even though
such might be committed by health
officers to a sanatorium there is no
provision for restraining them there.
Accommodations for those who are
danger to the public are not provided
If they are unwilling to remain in
such an institution
Should such an addition be provided
at one of the sanatoria and the au-
thority be given to the Commission
to detain> such patients, just such a
place as is needed for the care OF the
Undercliff patient would be available
without endangering the lives Of
healthy prisoners. The commissioners
in their report appear to have antici-
pated just such a, situation as has now
developed.

An Ethical ProbIem-By Albert LET

ref1, lit East 21st, New York. g.

In this setting forth Of sidelights
upon scientific experimentation on man
and animals the author who was the
late president of the American Humane
association and the author Of several
volumes on vivisection and other sub
jects does not present the view known
as anti-vivisection. SO far as that
means the condemnation without ex-
ception, of all phases Of biological in
vestigation. With the present ideas
of the modern physiological labratory
so far as they favor the practice of
vivisection in secrecy and without legal
regulation he has no sympathy what
ever. The ethical problem concerns
not the prevention Of all experimental
ton upon animals but rather the aboli-
ton Of it's cruelty, its secrecy. its
abuse
The volume deals with vivisection
and the author holds that 1t is to pre-
ventive medicine that the world must
learn to look, not to the conquest of
disease by new drugs or new serums,
and he does not believe that fifty years
years hence scourges of humanity
which are responsible for thousands Of
preventable deaths will be durable by
the administration of any remedy to
be hereafter discovered by experiment
tatten on animals. He enters deeply
into the question and shows the re-
suit OF. long and careful research work.

Diseases Carried by Insects.

Sir Donald Ross, who discovered
how the anopheles or mottled winged
mosquito carries malaria, gave in a
lecture at Charing Cross hospital an
account of other diseases that are
carried by insects or bugs. Mosquitoes
carry not only malaria, but yellow
fever, dengue fever and elephantiasis.
Glossina morsitans is the carrying
agent of the tropical disease known
as magma, while tsetse files are the
cause Of sleeping sickness.
The spirachaetes Of tick fever are
borne by ticks and a mild fever Is
conveyed by sand flies. Plague is due
to the rat het, which carries the par
asites in the sa1ivary glands and leaves
them in the flesh of whomsoever it
bites. Mediterranean fever is carried
principally by the milk Of infected
goats. Leprosy has been attributed to
bedbuws, and some are even beginning
to think that measles is due to fleas.
