legations to neutral nations whenever military necessity or what was claimed to be military necessity required it.
 Because neutral rights have been repeatedly violated it is apparent that the future is bound to witness the devotion of greater attention to them than ever and the suggestion is made by Secretary Lansing that instead of viewing them from the standpoint of the belligerent they be henceforth considered from the position of the neutral and in this connection he ad- vOcates the appointment of a commit tee to study the problem of neutral ships and neutral duties seeking to formulate in terms the principle un deriving the relations of belligerency to neutral rather than the express rules governing the conduct of na- tion at war to a, nation at peace. This is the task which MT. Lansing would give the American Institute of Inter- national Law which was recently or ganized by the Pan-American con- gress.
 There can be no question but what the time is ripe for just such action. The liberty of neutrals has suffered from unjustifiable restrictions on the high seas and it has been imposed upon by the needless burdens forced upon them in preserving their neu- trality upon land and the study or these violations can best be made while they are fresh in mind It is but just that there should be neutral ity rules to be observed as well as rules of war and not only should they be drafted and agreed to, but they should be reSpected.

Will Labor Be Scarce?
Bridgeport Farmer.) )

The balance of opinion more and more inclines to the view that un- skilled labor is to be scarce before the war is over. Will labor after the var stay in Europe, or come to the United States? The preponderance of belief is for the former concept.
 Skilled labor will be scarce Un- skilled labor will have plenty to do over there. Governments will not desire to lose more able-bodied men. Difficulties will be placed in the way of immigration. There will be a ris- ing labor market. Such are the ar guments to prove that European labor will stay in it's own countries.
 The contrary argument asserts that the cost of living will be high over there, on account of taxes created by the war, and that these taxes will drive men to other lands. It is said that many Europeans will wish to go to a country where war is less likely tC occur.
 The cost of living need not rise much in Europe in spite of the great debt. Much depends on whether the lessons of the war are practiced after the war is over. If the intensified CO., operation which the war has produced in ETanc0, EnSldnO ana SeI1IidHy io continued, production on an enormous scale will ensue. This production will make the war debt look tiny in comparison with it's present prOpoI- tions.
 Practically everything used in the war, and represented by the cost of the war, has been created by the labor of men and women occupied during the year and half since the fighting started.
 Labor as efficiently applied, after the war; will produce a greater quan- tity of comm oddities in less than a year and a half, besides providing for the ordinary uses of society. But if the war leaves no economic imprint upon industry, if everybody returns to the old methods of taking all the traffic will bear," if business must cease because somebody can't see his way to a profit, then Europe will be steeped in a miserable poverty and will groan under burdens grevious to hare.
 The United States has great latent labor power. Suitable terms of em- will bring more workers into the field and make the workers all ready in the field vastly more produc- tive. An unlimited supply of cheap I labor is not an unmitigated blessing.

Sanitary "Fortifications."
Waterbury Democrat ]

According to the authorities of the pubic health service, the European war exposes the United States to greater risk of invasion by foreign dlsease-foes. The danger will be greater after the war ends when emigration from the strife-torn and pauper1zed nations of Europe returns 10 It's usual proportions. Sanitary or ganlzatlon has been carried to the hlghest degree possible in military operations as large as are now wit messed in Europe. Still, it is inevit- able that the war will breed de- 1ectlVes and SOW the seeds of disease on an enormous scale. It is there lore part of a sound "preparedness policy thoroughly to inspect and, where possible, to strengthen Amer lcan tort1tcations against the disease
 enemy This is now being done. We have four Hines of defense" against disease: 1-The Maritime ana Overland quarantine; 2-The immigration inspection system; B. state health authorities; 4-Local health authorities. The two former are administered by the public health service, under the secretary of the treasury. The public health service Is always in close cooperation with the two latter. The first line of de- fense or the quarantine, involves the inhnlte precautions and a gauntlet of inspections to prevent the uuaran- tinable diseases from getting a, foot hold in the United States. These dis eases are plague, cholera yellow fever, typhus, smallpox and leprosv. The second line provides for conn plete physical examination of everv immigrant, and thus weeds out al, immigrants who are legally classed as physical or mental undesirahles
 The third and fourth lines are de- pended on for emergency service if notwithstanding the efforts of the first and second lines, the "disease', enemy effects landing in America

There is quite a bit of pleasant thought in the terse summing up of life today as compared with a decade gone by as put forth by Dr. Woods Hutchinson, the noted physician who says, i've live almost twice as long, die more than a third less frequently, are sick only two-fifths as often and should have three times as much
 money to spend for good food, hous- ing and hea1thful recreation.' He could have started the same essay by saying we live twice as fast and there fore do not have enough time in which to die as often as the old tim CTS. Aside from a few touches of la grippe this is a fairly good age taking all things into consideration
