The man who does right
always commands more re-

everyone who dares to differ

MARS NOT INHABITED, se
ASTRONOMER CONTENDS

Washington, Jan. taking a
fling at Prof. Lowell's Marian Caral
theory, DR.. John A. Brashear. a
Pittsburg astronomer, to-day said at
a sectional meeting of the Pan
american Scientific Congress, that if
any planet was inhabited it was We
nus, and not Mars.
Holding that the rarity of the at
r'osphere made Mars uninhabitable.
Brashear said the atmosphere of We
nus was as dense now as that of the
earth in prehistoric times, when life
in all forms was richest.
''If it is true that the so-called ca
nails of Mars are 275,000 miles long
they must be 10 miles wide and IL
deep" said Brashear. "Since our
little ditch at Panama cost some
1926, 100000, what a bank account
those Martians must have, according
to the theory"

Of Washington In the
AncOna Case.
ASSURANCES FOR THE FUTURE
Held By Washington More
Satisfactory Than Those
OF Germany.
DANGER OF RUPTURE PASSED

Washington, Jan. 1.-Austria's
reply to the Ancona note not only
meets the cardinal points of the
American demands, but gives assur-
ances for the future, which are con-
sidered more satisfactory in their
extent than those which were given
by Germany.
The full American official view
will not be known until after Presi-
dent Wilson has studied the Aus
trian reply, which was received from
Ambassador Penfield and was imme-
diately dispatched to Hot Springs by
a White House messenger.
1t may be stated authoritatively,
nevertheless, that danger of a rup-
ture of diplomatic relations has
passed, and the controversy now en-
tiers the same stage as the Lusitania
negotiations with Germany, on even
a more favorable basis.
Austria in the Ancona case has sub
scribed to the principle that no ships
will be sunk, unless they offer re-
sistence or flee, without the persons
aboard being brought to safety. This
is considered an assurance that is
far reaching and satisfactory.
Germany only promised not to at
tack liners" until the persons
aboard had been placed in boats.
The extentof the designation liners
never has been cleared up and the
American Government does not con-
ccde Skat placing persons in boats
necessarily assures their safety.
Points. which Austria leaves for
further diplomatic correspondence
are not considered of a nature to
bring on a new crisis. Chief among
them are questions of fact which af-
feet Austria's responsibility for what
happened before the submarine
commander torpedoed the Ancona,
and their Importance is minimized
by the promise to pay indemnity for
Americans lost regardless of the alb
sence of proof as to just how they
met their death.
The mere statement that the sub
marine commander has been punish
ed for not making allowances for
the panic on the ship undoubtedly
will be accepted without question
and without further inquiry as to
its nature.

WOUNDED SOLDIERS ARE
SLEEPING UNDER WATER

Cambridge, Eng, Jan. IA ward
in which the patients sleep on iniiat-
ed rubber mattresses half submerg-
ed in tubs filled with warm water is
the latest feature of the famous
open-air military hospital located
here.
1t was found that many of the pa
tients arriving at the hospital had
such terrible wounds that they were
unable to bear the pain, and as the
constant administration of opiates
retarded their progress, it was de-
cided by Colonel Griffiths TO provide
bath ward where the bad cases
could spend their entire time in the
water. The water, which is kept
flowing through the tub, is main
tanned at a temperature of 100 de-
grees.
BY a system of sings the patient
lies on a rubber mattress with his
entire body under water. only his
head showing above the level of the
bath. A casual observer passing
through the ward would never know
the patients were in a tub. The
head is in sight, occupying an ordi-
nary pillow, and the figure seems to
be covered by the conventional hos
pital blanket. However. when the
flap is opened the body is seen to be
submerged in water. but lying on
rubber mattress which is pronounc-
ed absolutely comfortable by the pa
tients.
One patient, whose thigh had
been ripped away by shell, has
been in tub continuously for six
weeks. Before he was placed in the
tub he said that he feared that he
was going insane from the pain, but
during his sojourn in the water he
had not felt anything worse than the
usual discomfort from long conflne-
ment in bed.

Usage INDIANS GIVEN
CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS

Pawhuska, Okla. Jan. Okla
homa received New Year gift OF
2,229 citizens. each worth about
100000, when Federal Judge Henry
Hudson handed down a decision to-
day holding that all Usage Indians
were full citizens of the United
States, and as such were entitled to
all rights, privileges and immuni-
ties granted in the Fourteenth con-
stitutional amendment.
The decision gives the members
of the tribe complete control over
their personal properties but does
not affect their real estate holdings.
In handing down the decision
Judge Hudson held as naught a di-
vorcement which an Usage procured
by tribal custom from his wife, hold
ing that the Osages are citizens and
that their divorces must be granted
by the State courts.

Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The
Methodist church was crowded with
friends of Col. Barnett. The SER

The pastor delivered a heartfelt and
touching discourse.
The honorary pallbearers were:
