NOT YET.

From the Portland Oregonian.
The Democratic platform Of 1912
contains this clear notice to the world
that a Democratic administration will
safeguard the rights of American cit
liens everywhere:
"The constitutional rights Of Ameri-
can citizens should protect them on
our own borders and go with them
throughout the world, and every
American citizen residing or having
property in any foreign country is
entitled to and must be given the full
protection of the United States gov
ernment. both for himself and his

President Wilson on May 1S, 1915,
reiterated the solemn responsibility OF
the American government to its citi-
zens in the following memorable dec
laration:
"The imperial German government
will not expect the government of the
United States to omit any word or
any act necessary to the performance
OF its sacred duty of maintaining the
rights Of the United States and its
citizens and of safeguarding their free
exercise and enjoyment"

TNTFRvFNTION IN MEXICO.

From the Omaha Bee.
Speculation is again rife in Wash
ington as to what policy the admin
istration will adopt in dealing with
the situation in Mexico. The affairs
of that unhappy country have reached
such a stage that 1t Is apparently
imperative that something be done to
help its people get on a more solid
footing so far as government is con-
cerned While the United States can
and will give aid to the destitute and
relieve the physical suffering OF the
Mexican people as fast as possible,
what will be done to correct the politi-
cal abuses may only be guessed at.
VIII the president turn about face
on his course and adopt a more Wig
orous policy for dealing with the
Mexican situation? He Is pledged pub
liclv not to interfere with the Mexi-
cans in their settlement Of their own
affairs In their own way, but has not
the situation across our southern bor-
der ceased to be an exclusively MeXi-
can affair? One thing is very certain
the banditti who have brought the
country to its present sad state are
not to be reached by moral suasion
They have proved themselves to be
without capacity foi the higher duties
Of government or the more important
Of military requirements. AS organ
izers Of guerilla warfare they are SUI
perb. and in plunder and rapine with
out peers, but they know nothing oi
the humane side Of warfare. nor tho
responsibility that goes with power
therefore. words are wasted on them
Mr.. Wilson can be very firm in hi
demands, as he is impressive in his
warnings, but Is he ready to follow
up his demands, and support his po
sition by force If unheeded by the
Mexicans? "Watchful waiting" has
brought nothing TO a conclusion, un

The So-CdIIed New Anfisepfic
(From the Journal Of Medical Assocaion)

Medical Journal. The substance
which they prepared was made by
rubbing up chlorinated lime 10 a
fine powder and mixing it with an
equal weight of powdered boric acid.
The ideal antiseptic for the field, they
concluded was a dry powder to be
applied direct, which. it was believ-
ed, has advantage over a solution
because it is more portable, and
water is often not procurable.
Chlorinated lime. the basis OF the
so-called new antiseptic preparation
Is well known as a powerful disin-
tectant. II is destructive to living
tissues except in dilute solution. The
same may be said of the solution of
chlorinated potash (Javelle water),
which has been largely used by
French surgeons in the present war.
ard of solution of chlorinated soda
(Labarraque's solation). 1he advan-
tage claimed for the new mixture IS
that the preparation, being practi-
cally neutral and unirritating to The
tissues, may be applied in greater
strength than hat in which it is
possible to usa chloriuated lime

ton. Experiments indicate also that
the germicidal activity Of chlorinat-
ed lime is increased by such treat
ment Of the calcium hypochlorite as
has been described Such increase in
germicidal activity is generally at
tributed to the liberation If hypoch-
lorous acid II has been found that
the activity of ordinary bleaching
powder is greatly increased by pass
ing through It carbonic acid gas Any
other acid, as boric acid, will do as
well. From the chemical point Of
view, therefore, there is nothing new
in this method That the practical
application Of such a mixture is moi
/ wholly new is proved by an earlier
article published by Vincent in 1914
He suggested the application to ulcer
ating and gangrenous wounds Of Z
mixture of chlorinated lime and bori'
acid.

Recently the newspapers have
contained announcements of a new
antiseptic or germicide that has
proved. or is TO prove, OF great value
in the treatment of the wounded in
the present war. Credit for its dis
covery is given to Drs. Carrel and
Dakin.
The antiseptic referred to is that
which Dr. Dakin Of the Herter Lab
oratory, New York-now serving as
bacteriologist in a war hospital at
Compiegne in France-announced in
paper read before the Academic
des sciences in Paris. II is made by
the well known process Of adding
sodium carbonate TO a solution Of
chlorinated lime. The mixture is
thoroughly shaken. and after half an
hour the LIQUID is siphoned off from
the precipitate Of calcium carbon
ate and filtered through cotton. To
this clear liquid. sufficient boric acid
is added to make the preparation neu-
trail or acid. the amount required
being determined by titration with
phenolphthalein Such a solution was
found to kill pus germs in two hours.
According to the British Medical
Journal, about a year ago Professor
Cohen. Of the University of Leeds.
England. entered into communica-
ton with Dr. Dakin, a former stu
dent regarding research on antisep-
tics for surgical use The arrange
ment was that the substances elab-
GRATED by Professor Cohen should be
tested bacteriologically by DR.. Dakin
and that the most promising should
be tried clinically by Dr. Carrel.

auspices OF an English medical re-
search committee a similar research
