titles Of grain alcohol as an incident
to making yeast. This case has been
provided for, by amendment. Now IL
IL pointed out that the restrictions
on the handling Of alcohol by drug
gists are such as to impose a great
hardship without compensating bene-
nc in the enforcement Of the law;
and there is prospect that these OBJ
jections will be removed.
On behalf Of scientific bureaus Of
the Government it has been pointed
out that the literal enforcement Of
the, measure as drafted would i'm
pose upon them great difficulties in
getting supplies of grain alcohol that
is absolutely necessary in laboratory
work. Here again relief is promised.
An amusing aspect, IL nothing
more, is suggested in connection
with the inquiry whether foreign
diplomatic establishments in this
Capital would be forced to a grape
juice regimen. They are immune
from prosecution, II they want to
use liquor, and to serve It; their ex-
traterritorial quality insures this,
But how shall they get II landed in
the town, when transportation
agencies are made to bear a respon-
sibility for even bringing the stuff
here? 1t would seem that extremes
might be avoided in imposing such
legislation on people TO whom 1t can
not nominally be applied, and who
would merely be made the victims of
inconvenience.

Inc Of pretending that the ladies'
haven't any legs, and Of preserving
the ancient mystery Of how they get
around.
At first glance this legislative
spasm might be regarded as liable
70 hold up the hands Of the fashion
producers, in their attack on common
sense styles. But not SO. The one
thing TO make the ladies sensible
would be to pass laws forbidding
them TO be so. Require them to
build their clothes higher at the top
and lower at the bottom, and they
can be counted on to do the other
thing. That's one thing to the
credit Of the women that the men
ought to learn; they know about
their own business, and don't want
II interfered with.
Here's hoping that the high-neck
and long-skirt laws may pass. They
will insure continuance of short
skirts---by all the ladies with pretty
ankles-and of ample cervieal expos
ure--save by the possessors Of col
lar bones.

Says II Is Natural For English To
Be Familiar With American His
tory and Literature.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
A correspondent IN reporting Lord
Northcllffe's speech, expresses aatonish,
ment that an Englishman drawing anal
ogies from American history should be
so familiar with Il, and be even able
to quote verses from an American poet
which are unknown TO a good many
Americans" There would be no aston
ishment at this II Americans were
taught TO understand that the great
body OF Britons revere our institutions
as much as we do ourselves. The beroas
OF the American Revolution are thels
heroes: for they were descendants of
the same race. In the Schools OF Great
Britain Washington has a place second
to none. Lord Byron says, "To make
man blush there was but one. Just
breathe the name OF washington" To
Byron, Washington WIS simply an Eng
lishman demanding a new Magma Charter
OF rights from Kings. The English are
as ready to cheer the American flag as
they are their own: for they think IL
typifles the coming democracy. II is n
hallowed emblem In their eyes.
Why should not England know more
of Oliver Wendell Holmes than we dol
In all his sympathies he was English
to the core. He acquired his education
there. He knew their respect for our
democratic institutions.

Why Is Not Vaccination Of Cows
PraetIeei Here; He Asks.


To the Editor Of THE TIMES.
There appeared in The Times short
wniie ago an article which spoke OF
the prospective Federal investigation
through the Interstate Commerce Com
problem" In Now England. 1t further
saId there was growing need OF
community, State. and even national
cooperation In matters relative. to. the
purity OF milk" II pointed out that
Washington was especially interested,
as shown by the asking OF additional
LEGISLATION 70 insure the purity OF this
city's supply. This recalls TO me an
address made In the fall before the
Association OF Military Surgeons at the
Army Medical School by a DR.. Castelll.
representing the medical faculty of
Genoa, Italy. Hero. so he said, exhaus-
tive experiments In the prevention OF
Tuberculosis through vaccination were
successfully made. In regard TO The
milk supply, Dr. Castelli advocated the
use of milk from immunized Cor vac
cinate0 cows. as tested by farmers in
the province of Genoa. and 80 elimi-
mated the principal source OF Infection
OF this disease. and without changing
the taste or nourishing value OF the
milk.
As a student interested In this subject.
ask you why has not this wonderful
theory been investigated IL Washing
ton IL seeking better milk. why cannot a
test In the vaccination OF cows be made
here? Why do we hear nothing moro

THE NEXT dERMANIC MOVE

Germany and Austria take the po-
sition that the thing which is not de-
clared specifically to be illegal, is
legal. Having adjusted the Lusi-
tania case without admitting illegal
ity Of sinking that vessel, they now
propose, even before the last details
are settled, to order that armed mer-
chantmen shall be treated as war
ships and sunk on sight, without
notice.
Thus the net is drawn closer.
Months ago Germany agreed not to
sink liners without notice and safety
to passengers and crew unless the
vessel resisted or tried to escape.
But thereafter the actual practice
demonstrated that these assurances
were worthless; the Safety" provid-
ed in open boats at sea meant linger-
ing death to victims, while in other
cases vessels were torpedoed with
out warning. A merchantmen might
as well take the chance in an effort
to escape, as to submit meekly to
destruction which could hardly be
worse in the one case than in the
other. Likewise, as the submarines
had shown no disposition really to
determine whether a vessel was
armed before attacking, the victim
might as we'll be armed and get
whatever benefit might be had there
from.
Fine reasoning and worthless
promises will not avail to convince
the world of anything less than the
essential barbarity Of such a course.
Neitherwill the world be satisfied that
America has worthily sustained the
rights Of neutrals on the high seas,
II our long debate with Germany
shall be fruitful Of nothing more
than an increase in the horrors Of
sea-going. Assuming that this ma
tion owes nothing whatever to the
mere cause of humanity, its duty to
its own people surely requires atten-
ton. The position it occupies is this {:
The high seas are no country's
property; they are the free high
ways Of all the world.
Our people have the right to
travel and to transport products on
them in security.
But the Germanic allies adopt a
course, with their submarine war
fare, that utterly destroys this Sc
curity.
Driven by this German policy, the
allies retaliate by arming merchant
men.
Thereupon Germany announces
that all belligerent-owned armed
merchantmen will be sunk on sight
as If they were warships.
Thus the practical, useful free
dom of the seas is ended. British,
French, Japanese, Belgian, Russian,
and Italian vessels come under this
ban, Germany proposes to blockade
the worlds commerce, in retaliation
for her enemies blockade of her own
ports.
And the United States is presumed
by Germany to have acquiesced in
this program. If it has, then our
diplomatic management of the Lusi-
tania and other sea problems has
been indeed a sad failure.
