This Undefended Nation.
From The Chicago New,.)


President Vanderlp of the National City
Bank Of New York in his address before the
American Bankers Association in Kansas
CITY yesterday cautioned the nation against
becoming submerged in its own prosperity.
The United States, he declared, should profit
by the bitter experience of foreign nations,
and the people should not be $50 intent upon
dividing the proceeds Of present prosperity"
that they fail to safeguard its permanence.
The greatest need of the day. according to
Mr.. Vanderlp, "a need so fundamental as 70
make other matters inconsequential,' is that
for universal military, industrial and eco
nomc preparedness. Like many others, Mr..
Vanderlip confesses to have believed for
merly that universal military service could
be reckoned as economic waste. The history
of the last two years has convinced him, as it
has convinced many others, that such service
is of "superlative Importance"
Possibly the most subtle enemy within the
borders OF the United States is persistent
forgetfulness of the great fact that all the
snowy preparations for national defence that
have been made in recent months are based
upon the false theory that nobody need fit
himself to give effective service under arms
unless he personally chooses to do so. The
American people must recognize that Mill
tary training is duty of citizenship. That
duty rests equally upon all the citizens.
The young men Of the nation, for their
own welbeing no less than for the safety of
the Republic, should be required by Federal
law to undergo preparations for armed ser
vice. Until public sentiment compels Con-
gress to establish a rational system of uni
versal training and service this nation will
be inadequately defended against foreign in
yasiOn.

even after allowing for the expense Of
nasteurization and distribution it is evident
that the consumers are being monstrouSly
and shamelessly overcharged.

As to the cost Of bread, we read two weeks
ago that loaves of full weight-sixteen
ounces to the pound, not twelve ounces
loaves very largely made of American wheat,
were being sold in England, even IN war
time. more cheaply than in America.

Raw Milk Advocated.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The milk problem could be readily
solved provided the city would allow milk to
be sold in its natural state for time-milk
the same as the farmers use and bring up
their children on.
Let the farmers ship their cans of milk
direct to commission frms-frms to which
the farmers have been shipping other prod
uce. These firms could pay the price the
farmers ask and sell the milk to the local
milk depots direct. In this way milk could
be supplied and retailed at even less than
has been the custom.
This direct shipment would work 30. k
from through the 80 cent freight zone.

Underlying the state Of feeling as 10 the
United States which prevails in Great Brit
ain is the sure and certain knowledge that
if Germany had interfered with the United
States in the pre-war days the whole OF the
British Empire would have helped to keep
the Hun out. For example, Chichester and
Dewey in the Philippines. That is where
the shoe pinches.
"The Americans have never known, and
therefore never understood, the love which
our working classes bear for their Republic.
Before the war its outward manifestation
was found in applauding at public entertain
ments everything connected with the United
States, and notably a display of the Union
Jack side by side with Old Glory.
"The material motive for this knowl-
edge that their kith and kin in the United
States enjoyed greater material prosperity
than the same classes in England. The senti-
mental motive is that in our working classes
it is difficult to find a family without living
relations-even distant-in the United States.
And most surely the Americans do not
realize that this country Is ruled by work
ing class opinion, since on the electoral lists
the workers <outnumber the upper and mid
die classes together by at least II to 1. The
was when Lord North and King George III
between them brought about the war for
independence. At that time no one but own
ers Of freehold property could vote.
$50 much for Great Britain. In this war
she is only one, although it looks as if she
was the predominant one, of group of Allies
TO whose wishes she has to defer. There is,
for instance France. France claims special
friendship for the United States, since she
assisted the creation of her independence on
sea and on land. Lafayette was an incident,
but the French superiority at sea at that
time led to the various surrenders which
closed the war in Washington's favor. Yet
France was threatened in 1914 with extinc-
ton, and not one word of sympathy was ut
tered by President Wilson. Italy, the most
liberal state in Europe, and Russia, the most
autocratic at the head and socialstic at the
feet, think the same way.
Imagine, then, their disappointment at the
attitude of the official representative of the
American people, whom they had all been
trained to believe the stanchest upholders
of liberty on earth, when Belgium was struck
down and he refused to utter one word of
reprobation. Indeed, the State Department

interest in those forms of activity which
are ends in themselves. Nearly every one
has tucked away among the memories Of
boyhood certain brain-paths which cor
respond to the diamond. For thousands of
men, this coming week, those old BRAIN
paths will be lighted up again and the
long forgotten days of real sport revived.

The Milk Is All From Healthy Cows TubercuIor Tested and

foot-andmouth disease a man
trading on the name of fake cat
tlemen's association persuaded
farmers that for consideration
he could keep the state and other
authorities from killing their cat
tie. He fought the law for more
than year, but recently a judge
and jury found him guilty of false
pretense. During the trial it was
disclosed that he had collected
more than $4,000 from his vic
Tins, and the report was that
sums not counted would carry the
total to $4,000.
In the same region an ancient
veterinary with an ''infallible"
cure examined cattle with an old
fur glove, rubbing 1t over their
tongues and nostrils and gather
ing germs which he distributed
wholesale. The amount of mis-
chief he did was incalculable. At
the same time he collected trib-
ute for his stupendous ignorance.
These two takers for time
baffled the officers, and by their
activities spread contagion over
many miles, caused losses that
ran into tens of thousands of dol
lars, and in addition swindled
their victims.
1t ought to be a lesson. In any
matter of health or communicable
disease the only course Is to ac-
cept and invite the help of Of
ficers, whether they be local,
state or national. They may not
know everything, but they know
enough to be useful.-The Coun-
| try Gentleman.

RETESTS FOR TUBERCULOSIS
e IL is not generally considered
wise to make a retest for tuber-
culosis within sixty days after the
original test. On such retests
two or even three times the nor
NAL dose of tuberculin should be
used. 1t is also advisable to be-
gin taking the temperatures at
about four hours after the injec-
ton of the tuberculin. On such
retests some animals develop a
fever within a short period and
the fever persists for only a short
time. II negative results are OBJ
tanned on retest of animals that
have given any indication of a re-
action on the original test, the
results should be discounted very
greatly.
There is very great difference
In individual animals as to the
way they act on retests. Some
animals will apparently react at
every injection of the tuberculin
even though injections are made
only a few weeks apart. Other
animals will not react for a con-
siderable period of time. 1t is
considered unwise to return to q
herd any animal that has given
Indications of reaction on the
original test. 1t Is quite certain
that the return of such animals
to herd has caused the perpetu-
alton of the disease in many in
stances.
