A sense of delicacy restraints us from
revealing the identity of this super
goat, so for the sake of this article we
shall call him Judas Iscariot, or just
plain Judas for short. Judas does not
fear the butchers knife, for he has an
insolent sense of assurance that death
can only come to him through overeat-
ing. The slaughter pen, instead of be,
ing a source of terror to him, is place
of daily amusement-a sort of goat

matter Of mob psychology which seems
to apply to animals and certain human

Council of Defense at Albany, under
whose authorization the experiments
were carried On by group of lung spe
cialists and roentgenologists. State
Health Commissioner Hermann NJ
Biggs was in charge Of the examina-
tionS.
The Sixty-ninth made an admirable
showing in the tests, to judge from the
findings announced on the 600 plates
interpreted to date OF these COO there
We're twenty-five men, or fraction
over 3 per cent, found with definite
tuberculosis sufficient to disqualify
them for military service. In addition
there We're eighteen who showed pull
monary LESSONS or lung changes, indi-
eating arrested tuberculosis. The twen-
ty-two definite cases, taking Canada's
figures as basis, if exposed to the
strain Of life in the trenches would in
evitably break down and be invalided
home. The expense of their training
transportation and other items enter
ing into the making of a soldier would
thus be lost, in addition to their being
a source of infection to their fellow
soldiers The expense to the govern
ment of care and pension allowance
would also be entailed, amounting to at
least $1,000 annually for each one, who
under ordinary. conditions might have
continued civilian activities without
physical impairment.
These experiments, according to the
report, are believed to have demon
strated the entire practicability of the
method of determining the presence
of the disease among soldiers at a min
imum of time and medical supervision.
Seven and one-half hours were re-
Quired for the making of the 1,O30 eX-
posures, or twenty-six seconds per
man; developing the plates by one man
took forty hours, or two minutes and
twenty-four seconds per plate; inter
preting the GOO plates was done in
eight hours, or at the rate Of forty
eight seconds per plate. Thus the total
time for making, developing and read
ing each plate was three minutes and
thirty EIGHT seconds. The report states
that this time can be materially cut by
means of a few mechanical improve
ments.

The bin is drawn along the lines
Of the Moratorium Act of Canada, with
the exception that it is limited in its
scope to benefit the men of the service
only. If it becomes law, certain civil
court actions cannot be taken against
soldiers or sailors during the continu,
anco of the war.
While no details are announced, it is
presumed that the bill would enjoiu
those holding mortgages against the

closing during the war, or from col

be rstopped from evicting the wives

In raids on three points be-

Tommies entered Hun trenches.
In these they inflicted severe cas-

dumps. In the course Of these
raids hand to hand fighting en-
sued repeatedly and the Britons
welded with great vigor and eff
feet their blood stained bayonets.
