A LIMITED COMPULSORY
MILITARY AEE

T.
Washington. Jan, S.-Have We a
modified compulsory military service
in this country?
This question 10 prompted by the
recent action OF the president. in his
capacity as eommander-in-ehief. In
approving a sentence OF court mar
tial passed upon Lewis o. Gardner
Of the New Mexico National guard,
Gardner was an enrolled member
OF the guard In his state at the time
OF the mobilization ordered last June
who resisted being mustered into
the service OF the United States. HIS
comrades who Joined In this refusal
at the outset. weakened when threat
ened with court martial and took the
oath. Gardner remained obdurate.
stood trial and was sentenced to dis /.
honorable discharge and TO a years
imprisonment at hard labor. This
sentence has just received the presi-
Dental approval
Army officers regard the case as
an important one and look upon 1t
as applying in its essence to the ten
thousand or 30 OF other guRrdsmen
throughout the country who refused
10 enter the federal service last sum
mer.
II this view Ia correct. II means
that every member OF the national
guard may be held for duty with tho
federal colors upon the presidents
cali and to that extent provides for
compulsory military service. II may
also have a strong bearing upon the
situation OF those guRrdsmen Who
have been returned from the border
and who have declined to continue
their service in the ranks under state
authority. IL was generally under
stood that every guardsman who
went to Texas last summer was OBJ
ligated to six years duty in some
form. The exact nature OF that duty
has never MS yet been formulated
but II Ii known that Q very large
percentage of most OF the regiments
brought back home have returned
with the motto never again" as re-
lating TO service in the guard.
II the present ruling applies to
them, It is evident that compulsory
military duty Is fact with more than
hundred thousand OF the young
men Of the country.

POTASH FROM CEMENT PLANTS.
Investigation as to Noissomc Fumc.
May Prove Profitable.

Although the war in Europe continues
to be reflected in the scarcity of many
chemicals necessary for the economic
and physical welfare of Americans, evil
ience muitiplies that IL the conflict con-
tinues long enough the difficulty now
confronting US will be in a large measure
overcome. One of the many illustrations
that may be mentioned is potash. For
this in the past the United States has
been virtually dependent on Germany as
its source of supply. Before the war
there had been some efforts by the
United States Government through its
Department OF Agriculture, TO stimulate
the production Of potash in two direc-
tions-by development OF certain deposits
in the Western States, and by exploita-
ton Of the great kelp beds OF the Pacific
Coast. But these efforts were more or
less spasmodic and for a good while they
failed to bear fruit
Then came the great war, and with
the demand for potash for use in certain
explosives and infammables rising by
leaps and bounds, the price scared to
unheardof levels. This turned the scale
in favor of the effort to develop the kelp
beds, and resulted directly in the perfec-
ton of machinery for harvesting kelp on
a gigantic scale. Some millions of dol
lars have been put at the disposal OF
these projects, and there seems to be a
strong possibility of their permanency.
At least, the industry is said to be profit
able on the basis OF present prices. and
II has some chance to establish itself
against competition. such may be eX-
pected as one of the inevitable results
of peace.
However, another American scientis
has contributed what may prove to be an
even more valuable chapter to the his
tory of potash development. DR.. F. G
Cottrell, formerly professor al the Uni
versty of California and now connected
with the United States Bureau of Mines
has discovered a practical method fol
precipitating salts OF potash from the
fumes of cement plants. These fumes
formerly had proved a dctrimcnt to plant
life in the vicinity of the cement furn-
aces and Investigations had been ordered
to determine a way TO continue making
cement without putting the neighboring
farmer out of business. The result is
said to have surprised even its discov-
erer. Cement men hope to produce as
a by-product of their industry within a
few years at least a fourth of the entire
amount of potash formerly imported into
the United States. This. with the prod
vet of the kelp beds if they shall con-
tinue to justify development, will make
a large reduction in the tribute we shall
be called on to pay to foreign countries
chiefly German-after the war.-Port-
land Oregonian.

CAN'T Catch CANCER,
STATISTICS DECLARE
Disease Not Hereditary or Contagious,
Says Insurance Actuay.
special 70 Tbs w.sbington Herald.

Special TO Tbs Warrington Herald.
New York, Feb. i2.-According to an in
vestigation of life insurance statistics
Just completed by DIR. Arthur Hunter. pres
ident of the Actuarial Society of Amer
lea, cancer appears TO be neither heredt-
tsry nor contagious. The health depart
ment of this city regards the results OF
the research of sufficient Importance to
give IL prominence In its official bulletin.
Or. Hunters deductions are made from
vital statistics recorded with special ac-
curacy by six of the largest life insur-
ance companies in this country.
DIR. Hunt says:
''The statistics show that a man or a
woman, one or both of whose parents
died from cancer, is no more likely to
die from the disease than those whose
family history was free from that blem-
Ish. Strong proof should be presented in
the future to Justify asking the public to
take any other point of view.
Men and women who are in anxiety
of mind on account OF the appearance of
cancer in their ancestry or immediate
family may dismiss such anxieties, as
there is no statistical evidence at the
present time that the disease of cancer Is
transmitted by inheritance in mankind" {"
Cancer caused $1,000 deaths in 1915 and
nearly 10000 in the United States alone
during the last decade.

No Guarantee of Longevity.

Prof. Eli Metchnikoff, the eminent bac-
teriologist, who was best known popu-
larly because OF his theory that human
life could be easily extended to $50 years
by destroying the poisonous indols and
phenols in the colon through treating
them with Tactic acid. died two months
after his seventy-frst birthday, although
he had tried his experiments on himself
DR.. Charles f. Brown-Sequard, whose
really valuable contributions to science
were obscured by his elixir Of life hobby
riding, lived to be seventy-seven. Yester-
day a man at OFallon. Ill. celebrated
his hundreth birthday. He never made
a speciality OF a sour-milk diet never had
a hypodermic injection OF elixir, and has
ignored many rules of accepted hygiene
He has chewed and smoked tobacco and
drunk three glasses of whisky a day.
But We cannot consider the O'Fallon
centenarian's habits as exemplary. Too
| many Chewers, smokers and drinkers die
young. There is no certain prescription
| for longevity. 1t seems to be an indi-
vidual matter, although even the insur-
ance companies recognize the influence
OF heredity on length of life. The O'Fal-
lon man doubtless feels that he has fol-
| lowed the proper course, although he at
one time suffered from paralysis and an
other time from cancer. We may find
| Ccntenarians who have never been bed
| fast in their lives and who have refrained
from tobacco, coffee and intoxicants. An
aged but vigorous st. Louis clergyman
| attributes his condition to wearing a COL
| lar two sizes larger than his neck But
men who wore no collars at all have died
young. There are Centenarians who
are vegetarians and there are some
| who eat meat three times a day. Some
sleep much and others get along with
comparatively little sleep. There is
| the widest differences among them as
to clothing, diet and exercise. We
might conclude that man is immortal
until his time is come" except for
the fact that many individuals of
| broken health have grown strong by
adopting and adhering to regular
| courses of living.-St Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.
