The End OF the Ancons Incident.

The reply Of Count BuRrAN IS
squarely responsive from the point Of
view of the diplomatic dialectic. 1t *
highly satisfactory from the point of
view Of all who desire to preserve the
friendly relations between the two
Governments. 1t Is just in its state
ments, frank In It's concessions and
even generous In tone.
The credit that belongs to the VII.
son Administration and particularly
tn the present Secretary Of State for
the handling of this difficult and deli
cate affair will be withheld by no fair
minded citizen. At the same time let
there be full recognition Of the credit
that Is due to Vienna.
The Lusitanin case yet remains to
be settled.
May there he no other of the sort
before the dawn Of world peace.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1916-01-01

Among the medical activities of the
past year the report of the Rookie
Teller Foundation stands out as the
grnndest, In regard not only Ia work
accomplished. hut chiefly in the initi-
ation and active promotion Of SAM
tnry work throughout the world. The
first epoch making achievement was
the creation of an International
Health Commission, formed for the
promotion of public sanitation AMI
the spread of medical knowledge"
Beginning with the hookworm cam
paign in the South, where its scien-
titic and other agents have restored
5OO.OOO persons to usefulness In the
Southern States, the commission has
organized on initiation by eleven for
eign Governments agencies for dag.
n%osticating and treating hookworm
disease, that il destroying the eco
nomic capacity of hundreds of mil
lions of toilers Over an area of thirty
degrees on each side of the equator.
Combining business efficiency with
scientific attainment, the agents of the
commission have begun everywhere
on n small scale in order to train the
local authorities In the work of self
help. For instance, the efficiency of
the laborers in the coffee plantations
Of Porto Rico has been increased 30
per cent. by treating voluntary nppli-
cants alone.
The intensely practical character of
The commissions efforts is evidenced
by sending men like Professors WEIGH
Of Johns Hopkins and SIMON FlEx-
NER to study the needs in medical
education IN China with II view 10
scientific promotion Of sadly neglected
sanitary agencies.
To protect the community against
fraudulent or inert medication We
have dwelt upon various phases of
imposition that with or perhaps with
out sinister intent lay costly tribute
upon sufferers ut II time when they
are most handicapped. Happily. the
year lns pnssed without the enactment
Of special laws furthcring the inter

1Sls-C Civilizations Hope.

Never In the history of the race
has mankind entered upon n new year
with such II strange. tragic commin-
Cling Of both hope and fear as that
which agitates the soul Of humanity
this first day of January.
The awful cataclysm that has made
the departing year the most appalling
In all the recorded past forces the
new twelvem"nth to begin Its career
with half the world at war and with
the possibility that the other half
,Aiay become involved in the colossal
conflict. There l. n lurking fear In
!ohe hearts of men that the struggle
n preserve what Is left of civilization
may entail even greater and more
costly sacrifices than have yet been
demanded for It's preservation. There
Is also in their hearts the hope that
the very enormity OF the crime that
che race has already committed
against It's higher self may bring a
world peace within the range of pos
sibility before the new year has
grown old.
The events of the last year have
forced upon thinking men the convic-
ton that what we roughly call civ
~ilization is still in its infancy. II Is
a germ of slow growth and a few
thousand years have given ii but lit

or all the lofty dreams that the race

naught. Mankind must make its
choice presently between the road
that leads TO chaos and the road thar

But let not the American pacifst
deceive himself. There is an eternal
conflict between War and Civilization,
but the conservation Of the latter de-

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Sir: The
letter Of Mr.. Cozzens brings to my mine

In the late sos or early '40s city

The only person who did not seem
