SWITZERLAND MENACED.

There is demand in Germany
that no neutral rights OF protests
shall stand in the way of German
necessity. German forces are said
to be massing at the Swiss frontier
The Swiss government is alarmed,
as is clearly manifested by its recent
declaration that it would defend its
neutrality at any cost. The objective
of the German forces is said to. be
Alsace, where the French have been
getting the upper hand. By going
through corner of Switzerland the
Germans would gain military ad-
vantage.
A contemporary in commenting
upon this menace to neutral nation
says it is quite in accordance with
this shetland shell diplomacy that
German forces should penetrate Swift
zerland. The German artillerists
who dictate the foreign policy see
nothing but military advantage in
such move. The obligations os law
and treaties mean no more to them
than to their horses or cannons. The
horses look upon treaties as scraps
of paper, and the cannons make
them so.

Many Alexandrians Witness Obse-
quies Today.
The remains of Admiral George
Dewey, were laid to rest today in the
Arlington National Cemetery, after
ceremonies at the Capitol, in which
President Wilson, the United States
Supreme Court, Congress, diplomats,
and others high in official life had
participated in silent tribute.
All the activities of the Federal
government were halted for the day,
while the business houses of the
city suspended during the services.
Before the remains of the dead ad-
miral were turned over to the nation
for the formal ceremony at the Capt.
,tol, President Wilson attended the
simple, private services at the Dewey
home, 1901 K street northwest, at
10 a. M. They were conducted by
Rev. Roland c. Smith, of st. Johns
Episcopal Church, From that time
until the final guns of the admiral's
salute rang over the mausoleum, the
President followed the corpse Of the
dead hero, mourning for the nation
of which he:;is head.
Many AIe1andriaus witnessed the
last rites over the remains Of the
deceased admiral.

DANGEROUS MOVEMENT.

Another movement has started in
congress to check the United: States
supreme courts practice Of vetoing
legislation on the ground that it is
Unconstitutional" Senator Robert
L. Owen, Of Oklahoma, is the author
of resolution which makes "un-
constitutions" judicial usurpation and
vacates the Office Of any federal
Judge who attempts it. In an ad-
dress before the Popular Government
Leagues convention in Washington
last week Senator Owen called at
tention to the growing power OF the
United States supreme court, and
the dwindling power of congress. The
war, said Senator Owen, was fought
because of an unconstitutional decis-
ion of the United States supreme
court-the bred Scott decision. In
the present eight-hour-day case, the
senator said, the country is faced
with a situation where the cour:
might again, by an attempt to over
ride congress and to nullify a per
fectly good law, bring about just as
grave a situation. Since the delivery
of that speech. Senator Owen has IN
troduced his resolution and prepared
a speech on the subjec: which ne
will soon deliver in the senate.
Many years ago Chauncey M.
!Depew wrote an article for a maya
zine entitled "The Supreme Court
Of the United States" in which ne
showed the Importance of that august
tribunal, devised by our forefathers,
when after obtaining independence
from George III, were like the man
who won the elephant, they didn't
know what to do with it. 1t was
realized at that time that there
should be a court of last resort to
pass upon the constitutlona1ity OF
the acts of Congress. We read the
article closely at the time, and
adopted it. We fail to see any rea-
son at present why we should change
our opinion.

"you Can't Tell the Difference"

That is what they all say regard
ing Pablo, the new non-aicoho'i'
beverage we are now offering to the
trade.
Pablo is an unfermented beverage
does not contain malt and is abso-
lutelv non-alcoholic. 1t is not a
near-beer and should not be
confused with the many so-called
temperance drinks now being mark
eted that are really nothing more
than fermented malt beverages: with
a percentage Of the alcohol extract
ed. the sale of which is liable to be
accompanied by risk Of prosecution.
Wherever Pablo has been intro
duced it has met with almost in
slant favor and popularity, proving
to be a good repeater. As compared
with other soft drinks, Pablo is in
class by itself--a drink with char
actef and snap to it. It is of a
sparkling amber color and has that
pleasing hop tang that is never
failing, never-tiring delight to the
taste and which at the same time
makes it refreshing healthful ard
invigorating beverage.

Not Arbitrary Interference.

Large measures of food control do
not mean arbitrary interference with
the necessary economic machinery of
trade. They mean that every branch
be called in by the government and
forge themselves into a link from
which the contemplated chain will pro-
tect producer, legitimate distributor
and consumer
For instance, 1 am assured that the
American farmer did not realize $1.30
per bushel for the 1916 wheat harvest,
vet the price of wheat in New York to-
day is S3.25 per bushel and flour is S14
per barrel. with all its attendant hard
ship and dislocation of social and in
dustria1 life.
II have no hesitation in saying that.
if the able. patriotic men representing
the majority of each branch of the
food trades were called in and clothed
with the necessary powers to force the
small minority of skunks that exist in
every trade, one result would be that
an equally nutritious flour based on
even S150 wheat could be sold in New
York for a good deal under IS per bar
rel, and every trade would receive its
legitimate profit. Without control, we
may see $50 -four before the year is
out. and a total disclocation of wages
and consequent dislocation of industry
and living.

PROPOSES INSURANCE
FOR SOLDIERS OF U. S.
Former District Auditor Louis Addi.
son Dent Urges Secretary Baker
to Recommend It.

Extension Of the governments in
surance system to include the soldiers
of the country has been proposed to
Secretary Baker of the War Depart
ment by Louis Addison Dent, former
auditor of the District Supreme Court.
Secretary Baker turned the letter over
to Adjt Gen. Mccain, who wrote that
there was no authority for instituting
an insurance system for the troops. Mr..
Dents reply to this was that he knew
there was no authority of law for it,
bat that he thought the initiation of it
would properly be by recommendation
of the Secretary of War and SO sub
mitted the suggestion to him. He
pointed out that the Secretary of the
Treasury had proposed an. insurance
system for officers and sailors of the
merchant marine.
The government" said Mr.. Dent in
his letter to the Secretary of War,
making the proposal, has already en-
barked on the enterprise of war insur-
ance for the commerce of the high seas.
Why not embark on war insurance for
it's prospective soldiers? Already the
large insurance companies have agreed
upon heavy increase in life insurance

great many more will regard . similar
work as their bit. And I hope that no
one will make the mistake of thinking
that this is the ordinary work of al
leviating suffering. 1t Is that and
more: it is an effective agency looking
to winning the war"
One of the first big things. he added.
will be to bring relief to thousands of
people in France, left in pitiable pow
erty in the wake of the fighting armies.
Tilling of the soil has been made i'm
possible by the destruction of farming
implements and the work Of restora-
ton will be not only an act of mercy
but practical aid in lessening the
economic burden. The council expects
to send to France. and later to Russia
and other allied countries, seeds and
tools to enable non-combatants to re-
sumo cultivation Of the devastated dis
tricts.
The work in America was not mini
rnized, but Mr.. Dawson suggests to the
chapters of the Red Cross that it is
not nearly SO Immediate In its i'm
portance as that in Europe.

for those engaging in war. If that bur-
den be removed by the government,
with the mortality experience of the
war in Europe and the aid of expe-
rienced actuaries, inaugurating a sys-
tenn of insurance at cost, or less than
cost. two things could be accom-
plished-the prevention of widespread
poverty and suffering among disabled
soldiers and the families of deceased
soldiers and an expensive and enor-
nous pension bureau administration
for several generations.
The sum of $1,000, ,oo0, 900, or less
than the first war loan, if so much be
ultimately needed, would supply an av-
erage capitalization of $4,000 for each
100000 officers and soldiers, convert
ible into an average annuity of $3.50
by way of pension. Moreover, this
plan would probably have the effect of
making conscription more popular"
