 Section 4 provides that in any port a sailor on any ship may collect half his pay or complain to U. s. officers and get full pay and the right to quit.
 Section 3 rules that a majority of the common crew may have the ship examined for seaworthiness, or its supplies for quality, by U. S. agents. Section 6 bids goodby to the fore casle of fiction. There must be a berth for each man in a clean room drained and ventilated and with shower bath. There must be ships hospital.
 When a sailor quits, says Section T. he cannot be imprisoned or forced to work. For insubordination he may be placed in irons and for assaulting an officer, imprisoned ? days.

A WAY TO CURE INSOMNIA

VIENNA, July 31. -- 4 well known Austrian physician, Dr. Ebstein, claims the discovery of physical exercise that will cure insomnia. As explained the Physical and Diet Therapeutics Journal. the cure consists of the sim pie process of grasping with both hands the head board or rail of the bed and of straining upward until the arm and shoulder muscles are fatigu- ed.
 Sleeplenesses in most cases is Caus- ed by irregular blood circulation in the brain, Dr. Ebstein explains. This comes to pass because of the slight difference in altitude between the head and the heart when one is lying down By raising the arms and strain ing upward, the physician claims, the flow of the blood to the head is in creased, while at the same time a eer- tain degree of fatigue aids in getting to sleep.

FRANCE THINKS
 OF GENERAL J0FFRE
liz COMMANDS WHILE OTHERS MUST OBEY EVERY ONE
 OF HIS ORDERS.
(By Herbert Corey.)

PARIS. - One hears odd gossip in Paris. There is, for example, the story of the group of deputies who got together one day to discuss the ques- ton of Gen. Joffre Practical poll ticians these chaps were, you will un- derstand. The sort of politicians that keep democracies humble.
 We must get rid of Joffre," stated the chairman. It was the sense of the meeting. Every one agreed that it was desirable that Joffre be got rid of. The unanjmity seemed flawless until one small politician got up and in a meek voice proposed the query on which the meeting was founded.
 Suppose" said he. that Joffre won't go?"
 That meeting adjourned sine die, just like other meetings of the sort nave adjourned. Joffre does not pro pose to go. The army does not want him to go, the country seems not to want him to go, no one seems to want him to go except the politicians that are continually working at the trade of being politicians So far as the outsider can judge. France is paying little attention to them. They are the weeyils in the biscuit They can go on weaving in and weaving out, re- placing each other. being eloquent, ex- clamatory. successful unsuccessful No one cares a hoot so long as they do what Gen. Joffre has insisted that they do. This is:
 (a) Give the army what it wants
 (bl When it wants it.
 It may seem that Gen. Joffre is no longer a live news issue. Some mil lions of columns have been printed about him, most of which were wrong. The fact is that he is more of a news issue than he ever has been, except in the first days of the war He has been tested by 23 months of fighting. He controls, not merely the army of France, but likewise the army of Great Britain in France. He may not be a great strategist or a great tactician or a successful diplomat or any sort of politician at all But as the situ- ation stands today he is the one big man of France. He is the man who commands. All others obey.
 "Joffre," said an officer who knows him well, lis a big, savage man, who knows his own mind"
 That might give a wrong impression of Joffre, just as the nickname "Grend- pore" the pOilus have given him con yeys in it's turn deceptive suggest ion of softness and admiability It is quite true that Gen. Joffre likes roses and that he hopes to spend his de- clining days on a small farm from which he can occasionally go fishing, and that he sometimes gives tired sol diers a lift in his motor car. and that he is ordinarily good humored and

EARLY PEACE IS
 NOT IN SIGHT
A GERMAN WRITER PAINTS VERY PESSIMISTIc PICTURE OF
 THE SITUATION

LONDON, July 31-The Daily Mail says that Maximilian Harden, in the latest number of Zukuntf. discussin 7 the meaning of the Anglo-French of fensiye, speaks particularly of Brit aims gigantic preparations in men and munitions.
 Harden declares that Germans must reckon with the determination of England to keep on fighting until she or her enemy is annihilated"
 In the article entitled At the Tree of Disillusion, Harden warns the Ger mans to abandon forthwith their childish dreams of early peace
 After describing the struggles now raging on all fronts, the like of which mankind has never known" and tell ing how the enemy is moving down a German every minute and how in every hour of the day and night 500,- 900 pounds of German treasure is be ing swallowed up" Harden says:
 "Is it the enemy who wants peace?'
 'On the other hand the French say when such sentiment might well have found expression. not one single, sol itary voice was raised to that end, Harden says. Premier Briand never sat so firmly in the saddle: Joffre's star was never more in the ascendant
 The French are mediating over the possibility of the fall of Nerdun. but no one dreams of peace. France still believes again in victory
 That this belief will crumble if Yer dun is captured or bank of the Mouse is taken or the entire city falls sounds like nothing but a well-meant and f1attering fairy tale
