WILSON MAKES PROTEST.
Against Use of International Relation
ship for Partisan Purposes.

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 2.-President vii
son here yesterday registered "a solemn
protest" against the use of the interna
tional relationships Of the nation fol
/ partisan purposes. Men who do this, he
said, II can not and will not regard as
patriots" He declared questions involv
| ing human lives should not be dragged
into politics.
The presidents protests were greeted
by prolonged applause. He said he would
not consent that the Democratic party
be used for any such paf .isan purpose
The president criticised "men who in the
midst of the most critical relationships
the details of which they do not know
make play with the loss of lives OF
American citizens even in order that
they may create domestic political
advantage"
In his afternoon speech here, Presi-
dent Wilson said in part:
1T is exceedingly important that this
country should discuss its affairs with
as little partisanship of feeling as pos
sible, because its affairs were never so
critically set about, ii | may SO express
it, as they are at this moment. There
was never time when the determina-
ton of our domestic questions bore a
more direct relation to the determina-
tion of our relations to other countries.
There never was time when the dis
cussion of our own affairs needed to be
more honestly, more thoroughly more
calmly conducted than now There is
excitement enough in the world. There
is unrestrained impulse enough, there is
covetousness of power enough. Ameri-
ca has, so to say, given promise to the
world that she win look at things with
out the passion that has determined the
affairs of other nations. | want you
to let me, if you will, give you in few
sentences my idea of the kind OF ques.
tions we have got to settle in this coun
try.
II want you to notice that the field OF
political action Id widening about us in
a way that fairly dannts the Judgment
of thoughtful men. We used to think
that we saw the field Of legislation toler-
ably well defined, and our text writers
were able to define that field with some
degree of confidence. But you perceive,
| take it for granted that that field has
not only greatly widened, but indefinite
~ widened There are great many So
cial questions now with which legislation
has to deal, very profound ana radical
questions. There are questions of jus
tice, there are questions even OF. moral
health One Of the things that America
is beginning to perceive is that court
of law, for example. is not necessarily a
court of justice. ! say this with all for
nal respect for profession which long
igo left, the profession of the law. What
mean is this Law too seldom has any
leart in it, too seldom has any bowels
If compassion, too seldom has any quick
of perception

LANSING DECLARES
GERMAN PLEDGE
WAS ON ARMED SHIPS
Secretary of State Says United States
VIII Insist on No Distinction Be-
tween Armed and Unarnled
Merchant Vessels.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2.-State de
partment officials are still waiting to
day for Germany's version of the de-
struction of the British steamer Marina
with the loss of American lives.
Secretary Lansing said to-day that the
! United States understands that Ger.
many's pledge not to sink merchant
ships without warning and to provide
for the safety of passengers and crew ap-
plies to ships with defensive armament
No distinction was drawn in the CORES
pondence between armed and unarmed
ships, and the state department will not
accept any contention that Germany y
responsibility was limited to those with
out armament.
While they await full details, two
outstanding facts attracted the atten-
tion of officials.
One was the announcement that the
Marina was armed with AZ inch gun,
mounted astern; the other was news
dispatch from London, the language of
which was regarded as significant. 1t
said:
at is regarded here as quite probable
that the American state department will
make still further inquiries with the OBJ
ject of definitely determining the status
of the Marina. While it is said that she
was under private charter when she was
torpedoed, it appears that the vessel
may have been engaged in admiralty
work not long before"
This was generally construed as re-
fiecting some indications OF doubt in
London, whether the ship was entitled
to the immunities of a peaceful mer-
chantman.

New London, Nov. 2.--No steps to-

completion of an investigation by GUS
toms officers and naval officers to deter
mine the status of the craft.
The Deutschland had been entered as
a merchant craft, but to make certain
that every neutrality provision has been
observed an inspection and double inves-
tigation was decided upon at Washing

The announcement of the Deutsch-

some interest. Captain Koenig has es-
timated the cargo value at Sl00o0,000,
but its entire makeup was not made
known, although it is said to consist
largely of dyestuffs and drugs, and pos
sibly jewels and securities.

MERE MALES.

Ninety-nine per cent of the men Of
the United States are deformed or
physically disproportioned, according
to authorities at the International
sas City. The tailors have made a
study of the men who come to them
to be fitted and are unanimous in ap-
proving the statement made above.
The deformity occurs in the grow
ing boy" said the president of the
association. Our present school sys-
TENS are top-heavy. All the attention
is paid to the development of the mind,
little to the body.
If the tailors were to go on record
In body they would all favor military
training for the youth of the nation.
It doesn't matter whether the boys
train with gun or a broomstick.
Football, basketball or track work
does not give them good carriage.
Only drill can do that"
The tailors' table Of percentages of
deformity shows that So per cent OF
the men are stoOp-shouldered and fiat
chested; 80 per cent of the men are
low-shouldered; 10 per cent of the
men are bow-legged; 10 per cent OF
the men are knock-kneed; per cent
of the men are high-hipped, and pei
cent of the men are high-shouldered.
What's the use Of living in the light
of such narrowing revelations?

ScurVy.

Scurvy, or scorbutus as doctors call
it, is nowadays rarely observed in
adults, even in institutions, but it is
fairly frequent in babies artificially
fed.
The condition is constitutional. 1t
is characterized by spongy, bleeding
gums, nose-bleed, extreme tenderness
of the limbs to touch, swellings and
discolorations like black and- blue
marks about the limbs. rheumatic"
pains and soreness, perhaps a disin-
clination to move the limbs also like
paralysis, pronounced paleness of skin
and lOps (anemia).
Usually the childs health has been
apparently good up to the time of the
attack, which is generally between the
fifth and fifteenth month of life,
though it may occur at any age, and
in the best of private homes. Indeed.
most cases of scurvy nowadays are
observed in the babies of the wealth
Ter classes who don't know how to feed
babies.
Sterilized food is the most common
scause of scuryy Proprietary So
called Infant foods" are accountable
for the majority of cases, and pro-
prietary foods are almost always ster-
lie, if they have no other virtues, al
though condensed milk Is sometimes
found contaminated with pus-produc-
ing germs. PasteuriZed milk is some
times responsible for scurvy. Clean
raw milk is the only food imitation of
baby's natural food
Simply changing the diet to I'M
sterilized food will cure scuryy. The
addition Of fresh juices, orange Juice
especially, is the best known remedy,
Orange juice should be given in
amounts of from tablespoonful to six
tablespoonful a day. divided into
three doses. each dose about an hour
before milk feeding. Any other fresh
fruit juice-peach juice, prune Juice,
apple juice-may be given ii orange

CHARITY AND PREVENTION.

A recent edition of the New York
charities directory shows that there
are in that city 5000 charitible in
situations, conducted by 1852 separ
ate organizations. The New York
World makes a startling statement
that there are more organization en-
gagged in the work of public philan-
throphy in New York than there are
persons employed in such important
industries as making fireworks, ink
and printers materials. And" adds
the World, "if there is an average of
only three paid employees to every in
stitution, the total number of the city's
wage earners from charity will exceed
that of the wage-earners in such man
ufactures as showcases, optical goods.
matches, photographs apparatus,
wall paper, window shades and many
others"
Public charity is good in intent, at
least. but it is bitter commentary on
our social organization that it should
have developed into an industry" of
such vast proportions. 1t is not too
much to say that the vast majority of
charity's expenditures go in vain at
tempts to remedy conditions resulting
from unnecessary eyils-evils large
ly correctible.
There is no spectacle more sardon-
ically humorous to the intelligent OBJ
server of social problems than that Of
organized charity" doing out its fut-
lie drops of medicine to offset the per-
nicious results of unjust social and
economic conditions by which the very
contributors to organized charity" too
frequently profit. The old figure of bal
ing out the boat with a spoon while
new leaks are constantly spring all
over the craft is especially applicable

Savings OF a Sour Cynic.


There are things that one never does
more than once-such as loving an
artistic" forgiving woman and meet
ing Zeppelin bomb.
They say a mans love is short lived,
but it has never been conclusively
proved whether it is the mans nature
or woman's nature which is respon-
sible.
A hero Of a magazine story Is de-
scribed as Sitting in the car as one
dazed. his fingers cropping blindly for
the clutch" We suppose his feet were
numb, or perhaps he hadn't any.
1t is as hard for woman to under
stand how man can leave off loving
her as it is for other women to under
stand how he ever loved her at all.
Truth is stranger than fiction
Perhaps that is why scandal is gen.
orally SO much more interesting than
