New Line Through the Canal.
tPanama Canal Record, July 49,

The passage through the Panama, Canal
on July 10 of the passenger steamship Re-
muera, Of the New Zealand Shipping Conn
pany, on the way from Wellington to London,
marks the establishment of this important
line through the canal. Its route has for
merly been around the Cape of Good Hope on
the outward voyage from Great Britain and
around Cape Horn on the homeward lap, the
vessels going completely around the world
on each voyage. 1t was intended to make use
of the canal route some time ago, but the
outbreak OF the war in Europe and the clos
ing of the canal by slides deferred the adop-
ton of this route until now. The company
has reported its intention OF building new
ships especially for the canal service.
The old route totalled 1926 miles; the new
route will approximate l1.19O miles via Tahiti
and Colon. or ll,450 miles if the steamer
sails direct to Balboa from Wellington and
goes by Norfolk on the way from Colon 70
Plymouth.

patriotic Surnames."
To the Editor of The Tribune.

! To the Editor of The Tribune.
! Sir; Your interesting editorial in to-day's
issue on patriotic Surnames" will arouse the
curiosity of many Tribune readers as to the
original meaning of some of the current IRISH
family names which survive in anglicized abb
brevations. | subjoin just few:
Mccormack (Son of the Crown, !. e, Heir
to the Throne); Cummings, Kelly, Tracy all
three meaning Warrior; Easement (Ham-
mer), Dougherty (Crusher), Donovan de
stroyer), Flanagan PRIEST, Bryan (Scribe),
Ryan (PeasanD, Brady (Mariner), Macaulay
(Son of the Rock, i. e., Mountaineer), Flynn
Red -haired) Connolly Light, Donald
DARK, Toole (Left-handed), Hennessy tDes
pondent), Sullivan (Quick-eyed). Cassidy and
Healy doth signifying Swift, Mahon
(Fierce). Mann Fiery, Dooley Defiant,
IIaggard (SpitefuD, Boyle (Goodnatured),
Moloney (ThoughtfuD, Murphy Excellent
When Ireland was subjugated, her long and
difficult family and place names had to be
anglczed; the blunt Sassenach could never
have tackled the delicate and subtle Erse
phonology. Thus, Tiobraid-Arann well OF
Ara was changed to Tipperary; Droched-
Atha bridge of the Ford, to Drogheda;
Conmac Mara (Sea Of the Conmacs), to
Connemara; Magh-Eo plain of the Yews), to
Mayo; Doibh-Linn BLACK POOH, to Dublin
and so on.
Delilah knew that Samson's secret strength
lay in his hair. and the English know that the
hidden force of the Irish Nationalist move
ment lies in the Gaelic tongue. The learned
writer Of your excellent editorial alludes to
Dean Swift's remark that the Irish cannot be
tanned" as long as the use of Gaelic is en-
couraged. Everywhere language seems to be
decisive factor in the principle of natonali-
ties. ERNEST 2. HORRWIII,

A Patients Right of Self-Defence.

A court-martial sitting at Tours has lately
been celebrating on a curious case involv-
ing the right Of a soldier to resist the or
ders of a medical officer and to refuse a
prescribed course of treatment. 1t ap-
pears that one Deschamps, a zouave, III
attempting to make his way across a dan
gerous road under fire had the misfortune
in his haste to tumble into a trench and
:njure his back severely. Having passed
through several hospitals without getting
any relief, he at last came under the care
Of Surgeon-Major Vincent, who decided
that electric treatment was indicated. 1t
was here that the trouble began.
According to the doctors account, the
patient ordered him to stand off the mo-
ment he approached. To which the doctor
answered, with becoming dignity: at is
rot the soldier who is in command here;
il is l." Thereupon he proceeded to -four
ish his electrodes with great assurance,
when suddenly the patient struck him
with such force that he broke the poor
doctors nose. If the doctor is to be be-
lieved, he offered no resistance at first, il
order that the witnesses present might
see that the patient was well able to de-
fend himself; but, "having suffered this
demonstration" he proceeds, 81 felt that
my dignity as a physician and an officer
was at stake" and thereupon he responded
with quelques coups de poing.
No less than thirty-fve witnesses were
called, among them the ingenious Dr..
Doyen, who, by the way, has singular
knack of appearing in the newspapers on
I'll sorts of occasions. He had seen moth
ing of this interesting tussle between doc
tor and patient, but presumably his opin-
ion was sought as an authority on medical
ethics. 1t should be noted that the zouave
was the accused person. DR.. Doyen was
rot at all satisfied that he should be. The
soldier, he argued, was seized with terror
At the sight of the electrodes and the blow
that broke DR.. Vincent's nose was in real
ity only q sort of reflex for which he was
not properly responsible. "If the matter
were left to my judgment" he said, "the
doctor would be in the dock" There was
such an uproar at this observation that
the president was obliged to clear the
court.
1t caused great offence to DR.. Doyen
that the papers alleged he subsequently
withdrew his observation. But this gave
him a further opportunity to assert him
self, and he explained in letter to the
press that he withdrew nothing, but mere
ly admitted that in the heat of the mo-
ment his expression had slightly OUT
stripped his thought. What he meant to
say, and did say, was that the patient was
justified in defending himself, and that #
be had killed the doctor, instead of merely
fracturng a few small bones Of his nose,
the court could hardly hold him guilty.
Nevertheless, the zouaye, who was de-

THE DEATH OF MY YOUNGER BROTHER

THE DEATH OF MY YOUNGER BROTHER
shall no longer write in these columns
letters to my younger brother, who, indeed,
was we'll aware that they were written IN
the days of great emotional anguish for
others besides himself
On the third day of our victorious often
siye on the Somme my noble brother, a
major in the colonial artillery, met go-
rious death at the age of forty-three. need
not say that he was brave 10 the core, for he
belonged TO that glorious colonial army whose
proves was known Of yore. He inherited
from Breton sailors and corsairs, from whom
we are descended, this natural bravery, this
utter contempt for danger, which from his
early youth was such a cause Of worry 70 our
mother. When serving as young lieutenant
in the expedition to China he received the
Legion of Honor for an exploit which | shall
narrate TO his children when they grow up.
Il will give them a high idea of their father.
A true soldier, about whom one of my own
associates once said that one had only TO
listen to him to gain confidence and only TO
look at him TO become brave. Naturally he
had earned the War Cross.
When, in spite OF his brilliant services,
his promotion was slow in coming the fam
lily. OF course, laid the blame at the door of
the naughty elder brother; but he would
answer this by saying that in the colonial

To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Those Of your readers who keep track
of French affairs certainly know the name OF
Gustave Herve, the famous pamphleteer and
revolutionist, who, many time convicted
of violations of the French press laws, had
spent prior to the war the best part OF his
life in prison.
Perhaps they even know the name OF the
paper in which he carried on his propaganda
against all institutions tainted with conser-
vatism, capitalism and militiaism, LA
Guerre Sociale" Social Warfare.
But do they know that Gustave Hervo
from the very first day of the war became
one of the most eloquent advocates OF the
Union Sacree"; that he carried on IN TINS
very "Guerre Socale" beautifully enilght-
ened campaign by joining with the intel
lectual elite Of France, regardless Of their
political and social differences in times Of
peace? Are they aware that he has conse-
Grated this evolution of his thought by re-
naming la Guerre Socale" and has now in
voked the great end towarC which all French
mems ewes are fixed in its new name, La
Victoire"?
In his daily articles there have appeared
from time to time under the title of Letters
to Ny Younger Brother" most touching and
eloouent messages to the soldiers in the
trenches. But one morning, alas, the title
read "On the Death of Ny Younger
Brother" and that article seems to me so
characteristic of French thought that | can
not resist the temptation Of making 1T known
to YOUR readers. They will first note what
a fine style of political writing the French
reader demands That a newspaper Ike La
Victoire" can make both ends meet and re-
main free from any moneyed influence simply
because the style and thought of vigorous
writer fascinate the masses is a fact that
tells a great deal in favor of French democ-
racy
But this is not all. If we admit that the
article which will best stir the worklngmen
of France is the one which reflects the splr-
itual self of the nation, we must acknowledge
that the spirit of France, so little known to
the outside world manifests itself IN this
article in the noblest way, always craving
for more Justice and liberty, brave in war,
fearless in civil life, but above all so full
of tenderness. The whole gamut of family
feelings vibrates in this article Of Herye, the
Iex-anarchist. with note of sincerity which
cannot deceive. And beyond the circle of IN
innate affections there is the love of coun-
try. and beyond that again there is the love
of humanity, giving to the whole of French
thought its true significance. l..

was Mildred's.
