Austria Aids War Students.

Vienna - Thousands OF university
students who are serving al the front
have just learned that the Austrian
ministery of education has decided to
grant them special privileges in the
way of shortening their college course.
In the faculties of philosophy and law
the men will be allowed to count their
time at the front as a university year
But as for the medical students the
authorities say the responsibilities OF
doctors of the community are too seri-
GUS to be lightly dealt with, and SO
these students cannot be credited with
time like their fellows In other de-
partments. But through more intens-
i've lecture courses and possibly be-
ing permitted to take their eXamina-
tions little sooner. the medical stu
dents will be given some compensa-
ton for their army work. Their sit
uation is harder on account of the
of the women students
who have remained at home. pursuing
their regular studies and SO gaining
on their male colleagues OF the same
class

MR.. WILSON'S HARDEST PROBLEM

The president" says the Herald's
Washington correspondent, will be
compelled to bow to the wishes of
Japan. Should the Burnett bill pass
the senate the president will veto it."
Those who have been railing at Wood
row Wilson because Of his attitude
toward the European belligerents NAV
be enlightened by that statement For
the president of the United States to
feel obliged to oppose great MAORI
ties in congress on purely domestic
question at the demand of a foreign
power certainly illustrates what Mr.
Wilson's difficulties have been and
are
The task of preserving the peace of
this nation Is byno means so simple
as 1t is regarded by persons whosthink
as does Henry Ford about it. How
much more difficult it has been and is
how little Woodrow Wilson's sapient
censors have comprehended the huge
ness and complexity of the problem
the most of us will learn only when
the secrets of the state department

AMATEURISM IN GOLF.

The passing Of Francis Ouimet from
the ranks Of amateur golfers through
his defiance of the decision of the
United States Golf association against
his selling of sporting goods means
more than the mere elimination of
this great player from the amateur
competitions. 1t emphasizes the de-
termination Of the national golf gov
erning body not to be swayed from its
purpose to do all within its power to
keep the amateurism of the sport free
from the contamination of CONNER
Cialism.
While much regret will follow Out
met into his retirement, there can be
no doubt that the position of the ma
tonal authorities is strengthened by
the worldwide reputation of the play
er who has elected to oppose its rul-
ing and 10 place business success be-
fore his amateur status. If the Uni
ted States Golfng association had d.
rected It's first shaft against some OBJ
scure amateur, while permitting those
higher up" to escape by some plausi-
BILE compromise. it would have brought
down upon itself larger measure of
Indignation than can ever be its nor
ton now, since even the most ardent
supporters Of the open champion of
1913 cannot but admire the f1rmness
with which the national association
has stuck to its guns

Contribution of a WiIfuI Woman

My son, aged So, writes determ-
ined, we might say wilfui woman, has
had epilepsy 10 months. The family
physician saw the first attack and
told us what it was. He gave general
advice about diet, bathing, rest from
certain mental work and medicine. The
patient has always been of the nerv-
Gus type, hard worker, but the FAM
lily history is clean. He has never
used tobacco or alcohol, but has been
a very heavy eater. He has also been
constipated for years. He has never
taken much exercise.
We took him to two different osteo-
paths. Both treated him for about
three months. One of them also made
him fast two weeks, to get rid of a lot
Of poison he said clogged the system.
But neither coudl stop the awful fits,
that is, for more than a few DAYS.
Then we took him to a chiropractor.
He said some Of the vertebrae of the
spine were out Of place. and guaran-
teed to cure my son in 80 adjustments
for 500, paid in advance. never nav
anybody in advance have a rating
and own property-so didn't have the
vertebrae adjusted, since I am told
that everybody who visits a chiro-
practor is told the same thing. and,
moreover, one of the best orthopedic
specialists In America examined my
son two days later and found the spine
normal in every respect.
Then we took the patient to a nerve
specialist, whom the family doctor
had suggested in the first place. He
was unable to give him an appoint
ment for a week, but we waited. He
then gave the boy most thorough ex-
including an X-ray photo
graph. which showed the spine per-
feet. And he made a blood examine
ton which proved to be positive
plus On the strength of this ex-
animation they injected something in
to the spinal canal. That was over
three months ago. My son has not
had fit since, and to all appearances
is well. He returns every two weeks
to the doctor (the family DOCTOR for
observation. And let me say. sir, that
when you harp on the family physi-
cian,' as you call 1t. you are doing
Gods work. for it was only your wise
counsel that brought US back to our
senses in time.

litical expression. II is no part OF our
committees program to urge the for
nation OF political party, but mem
bers OF the committee were made to
feel on this recent trip that this move
ment only awaits all opportunity to
become articulate and that with the
slightest encouragement, and notwith-
standing the discouraging experiences
which have always attended the for
nation of third parties, this sentiment
could readily be organized into a
party movement. 1t is not at all i'm
possible that this may hapuen."
Those who have discussed organiz-
ing a peace party are always mention
ing as candidates Henry Ford and
Herbert Bigelow, or Henry Ford and
Frank P. Walsh. The nomination of
either of the latter as vice presidential
candidates would have the effect and
the intention to emphasize the indust-
rial aspects Of peace and war and par
ticularly to bring to the attention of
the older parties the manner In which
the government has neglected the
findings of the Walsh commission.
This revelation of pacifist sentiment
cuts both ways so far as the old par
ties are concerned. 1t is quite dis
couragtng to the Roosevelt proposition
which must go forward on the assump-
ton that there is something heroic in
the mood Of the country; something
at least which demands preparedness
for war and is ready to make sacrifices
for national honor" On the other
hand, the Ford vote has been viewed
with much concern at the White
house, If Mr.. Tumulty's informal ex-
pressions are any Indication. Since
President Wilson's break with Bryan
there has been a disposition on the
part of pacifists to drift away from
the Wilson administration and many
consider this Ford vote as Indicating
the extent to which the pacifsts are
dissatisfied with Wilson's advocacy of
greater ornaments and his more war
like handling of foreign relations.
What is to be done with this peace
element and how 1t is eventually to
affect the national elections so near
at hand are questions which are vitality
interesting to Washington. With Will
son nominated on the democratic side
on a vigorous preparedness platform
and Roosevelt on a platform demand
ing still greater preparedness, the
pacifist vote will inevitably tend to
drift to Benson and kirkpatrick, the
pacif1cist-socialist candidates. That
party polled about one million votes In
the 1912 presidential elections. What
might be the result if a large protest
pacifist vote went to, its candidates
this year is serious question.

Mr.. Mann's Unfortunate Outburst.

Decatur Herald: Congressman James
Mann is one of the big men in the ma
tional legislature and one of the most
frankly outspoken. His very virtues
lead logically to defects.
When Mr.. Mann says that this is no
time for "favorite son" foolishness we
applaud him. but when he says that a
president OF the United States is try
ing to work up a war with Germany.
as campaign dodge, Mr.. Mann does
himself an injustice and American
craftsmanship an irreparable harm.
Mr.. Mann's statement cabled to Ber-
lin, would be received with infinite sat-
1sfaction. Have we forgotten-has Mr.
Mann forgotten the blow struck to our
prestige, and the quiet chuckles pro-
dueed in Germany by the resignation OF
an American secretary of state. in
crisis almost as grave az thiso Arc
we to give the world to understand
that American presidents are capable
OF STOPPING to the thing that Mr.. Mann
suggests-using a war scare TO adj
vance their personal political inter-
ests?
If Mr.. Mann were a small potato
politician, what he says would make
no particular difference, but he is rec
ognized abroad as we'll as at home as
responsible and influential member of
the national legislature and one of the
foremost leaders OF great party. If
Mr.. Mann ever uttered a statement
that ought to be recalled 1t is the one
commenting upon the presidents ac-
ton. The most that he can hope is that
his fellow citizens will construe II as
statement made in the excitement of
the moment, unbacked by his convic-
tons.

TARIFF AS LOCAL ISSUE.

More arguments for tariff com
mission appeared in the senate recent
ly when the sugar schedule amend
ment was under consideration. While
the two senators from Louisiana (dem-
ocrats) refused to vote for a limita-
ton of the sugar duties to four years,
Senator Works republican, of Cali
fornia, took advantage Of the debate to
offer an amendment providing for a
heavy tariff on lemons. The Louisiana
senators were opposed to tariff on lem
ons; they don't grow lemons in Louis
lana.
The meaning of the little episode. of
course, was plain enough. 1t simply
showed up the tariff as local issue"
even as the much-ridicu1ed General
Hancock described it many years ago.
1t is this local" interest feature of the
tariff question which makes its sane
and fair adjustment by partisan meth
DDS impossible. Log-rolling and
