A BUFFALO INSTITUTION
Known Ali Over the United States

DR.. Richard c. Cabot, who is head
Of the Massachusetts General Hospi-
tai, has been writing for the American
Magazine, April and May, on the sub
ject of Better Doctoring for Less
Money"
He says that "A new era has come
in the practice of medicine, but most
people do not know it yet. We have
begun to emerge from that stage of
medical work in which the doctor was
a peddler selling goods from house to
house, into the more advanced and
sensible era in which the doctor stays
at his place of business, like anyone
else who has goods to sell, and the
people who want these goods come
to him. The shop where he has his
goods to sell is generally called a
hospital and he has associated with
him there body Of men and women
similar to work people, foremen and
managers of any industrial plant or
dry goods store. He has there some
beginnings OF a satisfactory division
of labor and specialization of func-
ton. Therefore, he can give the pub
lie a much better article for less mon
ey.
"The article l refer to Is sound
medical advice and treatment"
This il just what Dr.. Pierce has
been doing at the Invalid's Hotel in
Buffalo, New York. DR.. v. M. Pierce
has associated with him DR.. Lee H.
Smith, who is vice president and head
surgical director and operator, and
thsre are q dozen other physicians
and specialists as well as four chem
lists, and the poor and the very rich
get the best medical attention. A. DR..
Cabot has properly said, when you
go to q doctors office you may COM
plain of nothing more abstruse than a
head ache or a stomach ache, yet for
the solution Of the problem represent

JAPAN OFFERS SHIP
YARDS TO AMERICA

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 81
Japan, thru Ishi, will offer America
the use of her shipyards for building
bottoms for either Atlantic or Pacific
trade. In return Japan will seek re-
Taxation of the steel embargo.
1t was stated that Japan would
postpone the questions Of Chinese
"open door" policy, permanent Ger
man Pacific islands and Japanese i'm
higration to America until after the
war. Whether she will offer q share
of her trans-Pacific tonnage for
transatlantic service depends upon
the allied requests.
Japan has cast her lot with the
English speaking people. The real
object of the Japanese mission is to
cooperate with England and Ameri-
ca" said member of the mission.
Americas attitude toward the pro-
posed proffer is as yet not known.
1t is assumed some shipbuilding
agreement will be made.

WILL PREJUDlcEs SURVIVE,
From Kansas City Star.

From Kansas City Star.
1t looks as if after the war the
great democracies Of the world would
be forced into q close association in
order to insure so far as possible
the peace OF the world. Two of the
important factors in this group, Of
course, must be the British Empire
and the United States.
To what extent would the anti
British feeling that was so preva-
lent in America before the war pre-
vent such an association? That
question came up in a recent discus
sion in Washington, and a Nan con-
nected with the British embassy made
this observation:
For five hundred years, he said,
England has been the traditional en-
emy of France. The nations had fire.
quently been at war. Less than 20
years ago they were in q nare-up
over Africa, in the Fashoda Incl
dent. 1t was customary for English
men to refer contemptuously to the
French as nation of frog eaters"
But that feeling has melted under
the stress of war, while the English
have come to admire the great quail
ties of the French.
Traditional prejudices ought not to
be hardy plants. You may have a
severe prejudice against a person
whom you hardly know. But when
you become partners in an enterprise
you may be surprised at his courage
and character. International preju-
.dices may break down in the same
way under the pressure Of facts.

OPPOSITION TO GOMPERS
DEVELOPING IN A. f. OF

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 27.-
What promises to be bitter strug-
gle within the American Federation
Of Labor with the leadership of Sam
uel Gompers possibly at stake, is de-
veloping as a result of the decision
of Gompers and the executive Off
cials not to take part in the Russian
called lnternatinal Socialist Peace
conference, September l to 16. The
American Federation of Labor, Com
per stated, will not participate in the
Stockholm convention principally on
patriotic grounds, believing it might
prove embarrassing to the government.
Gompers maintains the decision will
remain unchanged despite the de-
cision of the British Labor congress
to take part.
1t is admitted the British action
will add to the munitions of the
Socialists and Pacifists in and out of
the American Federation of Labor,
who have been vociferous in denounc-
ing Gompers for his operation
with the government thru the Council
of National Defense. The decision OF
the British, it is asserted, will widen
the breach between the so-called
radical and conservative factions of
the Federation. Gompers is leading
the conservative faction in the Fed
Grafton, which believes that only by
cooperation with the government in
the war and the temporary sacrifice
of some of labor's prerogatives, can
labor become truly a great power in
the readjustment. Socialists and Rad
icals believe the surrender of labor's
privileges will weaken the move
ment
The result of the struggle is now
a question of time. The Workmen's
peace council which numbers 100000
members, most of them members of
the American Federation of Labor is
centering its activities around New
York, but intends to carry them af-
terward thruout the country. The
leaders of the council assert there is
widespread dissatisfaction with Com
pers' policy. Gompers maintains that
this dissatisfaction is to be found
mainly among the foreign elements.
