The Chronic Alcoholic.

From The Boston Medical and Surgical Jourral)
1t is generally acknowledged that society
has failed in it's handling Of the problem Of
the chronic alcoholic. Arrest does not cure
drunkenness; the habitusl drunkard is un-
improved by the cycle Of Imprisonment, re-
lease, fresh debauch, arrest and reimprison-
ment through which he passes again and
again. DR.. V. V. Anderson, in a ftudy of 100
"repeaters" total number of arrests for the
group, 1879, emphasizes the cause of this
failure, namely, disregard for the fact that
the problem is medical as well social.
Only 10 per cent of these alcoholics were
steadily employed; 40 per cent were not self
supporting when at large. All of them were,
Of course, a charge on society for the ex-
penses Of their arrest, conviction and main
tenance while serving their sentences. That
society pays a high price for the luxury of
maintaining these chronic inebriates is OBJ
vious. Anderson found that 56 per cent Of
them had a mental level below that of a
child Of twelve; - per cent were mentally
sub-normal, and all manifested impairment
Of the nervous system. Thirty-seven were
feeble minded, seven insane, seven epileptic,
thirty-two possessed psychopathic consti-
alcoholic deterioration. Fifty of Anderson's
subjects were steady drinkers and fifty peri
odic. OF the steady drinkers, only per cent
were rated as OF adult intelligence, and only
IA per cent haG mental level above twelve
years. The periodic drinkers possessed a
higher level Of intelligence.

Latest Exploits of the Submarine.

If there is any truth in the statistics
given out at Berlin by the Overseas News
Agency. the activities of German subma-
rines have increased considerably during
the last few weeks. A supplementary list
Just published raises the number OF SHIPS
and vessels sunk in the ten days from Sep
TENDER 8 to 10 to fifty-three, including
neutras, with an aggregate tonnage OF
nearly $4,000.
II has already been shown that, despite
reports to the contrary. there is no evil
dence of weakening in this form Of war
fare; that, in fact the destruction Of ship
ping in August was apparently greater
than ever. This month, however, even
more damage seems to have been done, and
if it continues at the present rate Septem-
Der will probably prove TO be the most
disastrous month of the year-always
presuming that the figures given out are
correct.
In any case it is clear that the definite
information" recently published in Swift
erland must be false. According to this
it was admitted by the German Chancellor
that submarines could not be built
quickly enough to replace the losses" and
that in effect submarine warfare did not
pay. 1t is well known that the ,osses have
been considerable, but somehow the Ger
mans have contrived to supply not only
vessels but crews. The value Of this kind
Of warfare has doubtless been exagger.
ated but it evidently is worth as much
now as it was year ago.

Paci6st Fallacies.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. Mrs. Whicher's letter on live towards
and dead heroes in to-day's issue Of The
Tribune is happy example of Characters
tic pacfist fallacies. 1t is based on the
usual assumptions: % that preparedness for
national defence engenders war, which 90
"the development of commerce and industry,
the breaking down OF economic barriers and,
above all, education" tend TO prevent. Tres
ent events. which have given great stimulus
to paciist discussion, do not lend much sup
port 70 these assumptions, and il is doubtful
whether at any time good proof Of the com
mon pacifst premises can be found.
The present fact may be stated simply.
Germany. with a we'll developed apology for
warfare, an extremely swelled head and
much better preparation than other nations,
would doubtless have made war earlier, as
indeed she wished to do on several occasions
but Tor some degree OF preparedness IN
other states; as il was, she struck when she
thought she had them comparatively un-
ready and herself at the top-notch of
Isuperiorty. On the other hand 1t is eX-
tremely doubtful if England. France, Italy
or even Russia would have begun a war
against Germany. All that can be safely said
is that a nation prepared by philosophy and
pride to make aggressive warfare will
sometime make aggressive warfare; but that
nations prepared for defensive warfare will
not wantonly pick qusrrels though they will
defend themselves.
Even clearer is the fact that the alleged
preservatves of peace cited above may
work quite the other way. Germany, ad-
mittcd by nearly all Germans and deemed by
d rapidly diminishing number Of aliens to
be the most remarkable example Of com
mercial, industrial, financial social and espe-
cialy educational development and eff
cheney in the modern world, the wonder Of
the nations and the most glorious handi-
work Of God, is the most covetous, in
triguing, quarrelsome, warlike, brutal and
inhuman Of nations: she reeks with the
potentialities and sctuslties of strife. is
the great enemy Of peace and the chief dis
rupter of international deccncy. In view Of
her doings il is highly undemonstrable that
commerce, industry and education, as car
ried on at this time have much TO do with
peace. On the contrary, abroad and at home,
even in the internal life of our own country,
these matters breed rivalry. jealousy, dis
cord. turmoil and strife and are often the
direct causes Of war within states and among
nations. The paciist lays great Importance
on education, but even here the facts do not
accord with the pacifst dream.

The Luscious PretzeI.

Gerard 1T The Philadelphia Lcd0ev'
The pretzel has risen into that higher at
mosphere Of finance and become organized
into what will be called trust.
For a considerable portion of Pennsylvania
this news will cause as much Of shock as
would the announcement that sunlight has
been cornered." or oval Street has bought
control of the worlds springs" or "Rocke-
Teller has put mortgage on the air
The Standard Dictionary struggles feebly
and gives this definition of the pretzel:
"A biscuit made from wheaton flour by
twisting a rolled piece of dough into knot
like form, dipping it in boiling lye made
from straw ashes, sprinkling it with salt and
baking it crisp
But 90 ask Lititz, which is the heart, head,
body and soul of pretzeldom, and you will
find that the pretze1 is the Joy of youth, the
mainstay OF mature manhood and the staff
of old age
In the pretzel belt Of Pennsylvania that
Wand of the gods is not, in the outlands,
merely an associate of the beer glass, but in
the place Of its birth it nourshes the baby,
cheers by the pocketful beaus at the theatre
and movies accompanies every fan to the
ball game and swoops down upon such gath
erings as are witnessed at the Allentown
fair by the trainload.
Other places do make pretzels, and good
ones, in divers shapes, but Littz has made
the pretzel famous, and the pretzel has car
ried the name of Lititz around the world
down to the tropics and as far toward the
Pole as Doc Cook ever penetrated.
Who baked the first pretzel? Who dreamed
Of dipping food into lye? Who invented that
"knot-like form? AS we'll ask who struck
Billy Patterson or laid the cornerstone of the
Great Pyramid.
But ! suspect that the recipe for the thor
oughbred Pennsylvania pretzel came direct
from Epicurus, and that he stole 1t on Mount
Olympus.

King Constantine and Hippokleides.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: There is nothing to be had but regrets
from the reports about King Constantine OF
Greece. for his is too tragic case. He seems
really devoted 20 the Kaiser and TO Germ n
Institutions; and then there's his wife. She
is Hohenzolern, and when | think OF her |
can understand King Constantines devotion
to Germany. She is very imperious looking
person, and her expression indicates that 1t
is her opinion that she was born TO rule.
When King Constantine was invited 20
en- hence by that marriage ! think that he
would have done we'll Il he had taken a LOOK
into Greek history and read the story OF Hip
pokieides. That gentleman was sent by his
father to the King of Sicyon TO WOO the prin-
cess. There were several suitors. The King
gave a dinner party to them, and Hppokleides
put his head on the table and kicked with his
legs IN the air. in consequence of which the
