gravest political and economic menace
were they to be recognized as equal SOW
ereigns in Pan-American league, IN
which they could always easily outvote the
United States. From our point OF view
the maintenance of their sovereignty is
on their ability to maintain or
derby government, to protect alien resi-
dents and to avoid involving themselves
and us in friction with Europe growing
out of lawlessness and bad faith.
1T is barren and provincial statesman

Mr.. Wilson, abiding to the alleged test
which our attitude toward the weaker
Latin-American republics is undergoing
On the contrary, it is barren and provincial
craftsmanship which has confused and
muddled the test, processing one thing and
doing another, toying with the Pan-Amer-
icanism delusion and yet unwilling to
acknowledge, when the rub comes, that 1t

Crowns at the Battle Front.


Monarchs no longer ride forth crowned 10
battle as did Richard III to his fatal fight
on Bosworth Field Nevertheless, even to-
day crowns figure in the spectacular side of
war more often than is commonly supposed
The King of Italy, for instance, although
he does not of course, always wear it, car
res his crown with him wherever he goes,
and frequently dons it when he reviews his
troops on ceremonial parades.
This is in accordance with the custom and
tradition of his house. The crown is sup
posed to render its wearer immune from
harm, because inclosed within the gold is a
tiny circlet of iron, said to have been made
from a nail out Of the true cross.
The aged King Peter Of Serbia has twice
during the present war appeared robed and
crowned before his armies on the battle
field
King Ferdinand OF Rumania who must not
be COMPOUNDED with the ruler Of Bulgaria,
who is also named Ferdinand will probably
go crowned to war, if he goes at all, precisely
as did his two predecessors. Prince Alexander
Couza. and his uncle. King Charles !. But
then the royal crown of Rumania is unique
in so far as it forms genuine badge Of the
nations freedom from alien tyranny. II is
made from the metal Of Turkish cannon cap
tured al Plevna by the Rumanans in 1877
and in shape and appearance 1t suggests the

He evidently forgets that the Germans nave

German bombs are far too polite to Kill

on the assumption, no doubt, that this item
must be an English lie.
However, in a few days we shall prob
ably hear from Berlin of the vast amount
of damage done and the glorious slaughter
of Englishmen. 1t will be necessary to
make much of the raid because one of the
airships was destroyed as she approached
Enfield. The simple credulity of the Ger
man populace is unlimited, and quite
beyond the understanding of others l.
was reported, for instance, after the raid
of August that $4,000 persons were
killed, and a supposed neutral discussing
the affair in the "Magdeburgische Zeitung'
gravely pronounced the estimate possible
though not probable" He comforted his
readers, however, by assuring them that
the Zeppelins were driving the English
mad at such a rate that "the sanatoriums
and lunatic asylums are full to overlooking
so that the wounded from the front can
find no room there"
The official German reports are only a
little less fantastic, and the report on this
latest and greatest of raids should make
good reading. The loss of an airship Is,
however, serious disaster, and such sacri-
fees cannot be suffered repeatedly with
profit. 1t may mean that the defences of
London are now too efficient to justify fire.

Protect All Impartially.
New York, Sept. 2, 1916.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir Is not the simplest and the only
method which our government can legally
employ for averting the nationwide disaster
now menscing the country, because of the
threatened strike the part of powerful
organizations of railroad employees, to assure
immediate and complete protection to all
classes of the people, without distinction and
without partiality? This, as | understand Il,
II is not its function TO interfere with labor
disputes except by assuring to all parties
alike full and ample protection in the dis
charge Of their duties and in the exercise Of
their rights.
Such assurance of protection. immediate.
ample and unhesitatng, would break the
strangle hold which 100000 disafrected la
borers, because of their thorough organiza-
ton and the foolish coddling which they have
received by sentimental theorists in the past.
have obtained upon 100000, 900 people. estab-
fishing, for the time being, an intolerable
imperium in imperio.
Let our government, in the impartial exer-
else OF its supreme duty TO protect all citizens
alike in their lawful occupations. assure the
people that it will perform its duty at
all times and under all crcumstance and
it will have taken the longest step and the
only step consistent with the fundamental
theory Of democratic government 10 solve
the gigantic problem that confronts the rail
road companies and the public at large to-
day. A TRUE AMERICAN.

The Latest Zeppelin Raid.

The air raid of Saturday night was by
far the most formidable that the Germans
have made so far on England. Something
of this sort had been awaited for long
time, the general opinion being that the
smaller raids of August and the last week
of July were mainly experimental. Re-
newed activity on a great scale was ex-
pected as the nights heightened, and it is
not unlikely that Saturdays raid is the
first of a new series designed to increase
in extent and intensity.
According to the official reports from
London, the damage done was relatively
slight, and though thirteen airships were
engaged in the raid and many bombs
dropped the casualties amounted only to
two killed and thirteen injured. In the
Zeppelin raid of last January sixty-seven
persons were killed and hundred injured
and in the raids of March 31-April nearly
two hundred and fifty were killed or in
jured. So in the way of slaughter the first
great raid undertaken avowedly without
regard for the safety of non-combatants
was a disappointing performance.
The pretence that in the earlier attacks
on England the raiders had scrupulously
confined their attention to objects of mill
tary Importance is sheer hypocrisy, for
such discrimination would be impossible in
dropping bombs on such a city as London.
But Germans have an extraordinary ca
pacity for believing what they want to be-
lieve, and though the new threat was
laughed at in England, there were prob
ably many simple Germans who really be-
lieved that their Zeppelin heroes had been
merciful in the past, and who looked for
ward gloatingly to indiscrimnate slaugh-
ter as proper revenge for the so-called
Baralong atrocity.
An amusing example Of this kind Of
credulty is found in our local "Staats-
Zetung." The British official announce
ment says: "The number Of casualties
which have been reported are as follows
Killed, one man, one woman" etc. This,
translated by the German editor becomes
"Bis jctzt sind folgende Opfer gemcldet
woTdea. Getotet. - - Gin Mann" etc.

On Catching Cold.
peated.

One of the oldest and most firmly estat-
lished of popular medical notions is that
most of the acute diseases of the resplra-
tory organs are invariably attributable &c
exposure of the body to cold. This NAV
partly be accounted for by the initial
SYMPTOMS. Pneumonia, for instance, is
often ushered in with severe rigors; IN
fluenza. likewise, frequently begins with
shivering; and in the commoner catarrhal
infammations of the nasal mucous mem
brane a feeling of chlliness is so general
that it is usual to speak of taking chill"
or Catching cold
And though it is understood to-day that
in all of these disorders-not excepting
cold in the headAbacterial infection al
ways plays an essential part, yet the opin-
ion still prevails even among experienced
clinical observers, that chilling is at least
an important factor in a large proportion
of cases.
Some justification for this belief may Re
found in the results of series of expert
ments conducted during the last two years
by DR.. j. A. Miller and DR.. W. c. Noble
at the instance of the New York State
Ventilation Commission, and reported in
the current journal of Experimental Med
icine." An organism described as the snuff
fes bacillus b. boviSepticis) was employed
for the purpose-an organism capable of
producing a true septicemia, but when
localized in the upper respiratory passages
causing the condition commonly known
as snuffles."
1t is impossible to describe in detail the
conditions under which the experiments
were tried. Let it suffice that rabbits were
used in several series of experiments in
which high and low temperatures and
changes from hot to cold and from cold 20
hot were tried under a variety of condi-
tons and always with sufficient number
of controls to check the results. The con-
illusions are set forth as follows:
81. Respiratory infection of rab-
bits with Bacillus bovisepticss (snuf-
f1es) is favored by chilling the animals
after they have been accustomed to
heat.
"2. The character of this disease,
which occurs frequently in rabbits I'M
der natural conditions, makes the APP
plication of the experimental results
to similar respiratory diseases in man
less open to objection than in similar
experiments with other infections.
80. The weight of experimental evil
dence, including our own, does not JUS
tify the elimination of exposure to cold
as possible, though secondary, factor
in the incidence of acute respiratory
disease.
81. From the limited data of our
last two experiments it is suggested
that any marked change of tempera-
ture predisposes rabbits to this infec-
ton, the severity of which varies with
the amount Of change, and that the
change from low to high temperature
has an even more marked effect than
from high to low"
1t will be seen, then, that while there is
apparently some justification for the COM
mon belief in the effect of exposure to cold,
too little attention may have been paid in
the past to the possibilities of exposure
to heat.

An Important Conservation Measure.

The treaty between Great Britain and
the United States for the protection or
migratory birds, recently ratified by the
Senate, is supposed to be the first docu-
ment of it's kind in the world. 1t extends
to Canada the principle of the migratory
bird regulations worked out in this coun-
try under the Federal law enacted couple
of years ago. AS such it is conserva-
ton measure of vast Importance, destined
not only to preserve to the American con-
tinent various species of game and IN
sectivorous birds rapidly becoming extinct,
but to save American farmers millions on
millions of dollars lost through the crop
depredations of insects.
This Federal law came into being as
result of years of study by ornithologists
and naturalists and enlightened sportsmen
of the effects of the conflicting game laws
of states, frequently loosely enforced or
not enforced at all, frequently drawn with
view only to the selfish interest of citi-
zens of one state or a small group OF
states. Under this scheme of things,
spring shooting was permitted in some
states. though forbidden by neighboring
states. Varieties of birds protected in
some parts of the country were slaugh-
tered Unfortunately in others. 1t be-
came evident that the only way to bring
about adequate protection for bird life,
whether game birds or insect-killers, was
by law giving to a Federal department
control of the shooting seasons. This was
done, and the Department of Agriculture
made regulations governing the shooting
seasons, taking into consideration the mi
gratory fight of birds, their breeding
places and breeding seasons, and the like.
The net effect of this was to establish
shooting or open seasons by zones rather
than by state boundaries, and to protect
the birds during breeding seasons and
while on their way to the breeding
grounds.
The United States Department of Agri-
culture has estimated that insects dam
age the nations crops TO the vast extent
of 81 200 100000 annually. Obviously, the
interests of the people require that any
practical step to lessen such stupendous
loss should be taken. The Federal law,
based on the theory that migratory birds
were the nations property rather than
the property of any state within whose
boundaries they might happen to be at a
given time, was one way of attacking this
problem. Testimony from state officials,
farmers associations, conservation Sc
cieties and sportsmen's organizations all
over the country indicates that in the COM
paratively short time it has been in effect
it has produced great benefit by increasing
the number Of birds. That benefit will be
magnifed by the extension of the prin-
ciple of bird protection to Canada. The
birds of a continent will be protected &C
cordng to one broad scheme taking into
consideration their breeding habits and
districts, and that scheme may not be
broken down according to the desires of
the people of a given state or interrupted
at the national boundary.
