PLOT WILL OPEN
AMERICAS EYES.
BRITISH BELIEVE
Fantastic Villainy" Branded
as German Intrigue Declare
English Newspapers
By Associated Press

London, March 2. = The disclosure
of the German plot in America con-
tinues the chief theme in the news
and editorial columns of the newspa-
pers. The Westminster Gazette,
which brands the plot as fantastic
villainy." says:
"It has all the clumsiness, all the
malice and shallow cunning of the
other Vaccinations of the same kind
that we disclosed in Egypt, India and
Ireland. 1t is thoroughly Character
istic of the apostles of Kulture and
of the Kaiser who is the protector
of Islam and inciter of holy wars by
eastern races against Europeans. 1t
Is also characteristic that they are not
even able to keep their plots to them
selves, but are discovered before they
have begun, with the discriminating
documents upon them"
The German document, the Gazette
says, will show Americans that Ger
many's Vaccinations and ambitions
art not confined to Europe, Asia and
Africa. 1t shows them what is her
real estimate of the Monroe Doctrine
and how far she would respect it If
victory should give her the opportun-
ity of fiouting it. Clumsy
and stupid as this document is there
could hardly be more explosive matter
packed into the short space, or so
much warning offered in a few words
TO Americans of what Is at stake for
them in the European war.
1t Is Significant
'The wickedness of secret diplo-
macy is the moral the Manchester
Guardian draws and which 1t believed
most people will draw, from the ac-
count of German intrigues in Mexico:
President Wilson would seem to
have drawn it," the newspaper says,
and we are inclined to think the pub
lication of the story the most most
significant thing that has happened
between neutrals and Germany since
the United states broke off diplomats
relations with Germany"
While the Guardian contends that
German methods are worse than those
of the diplomacy of other nations it
believes the vices which are nauseous
in the Mexican story are inherent in
every system of secret diplomacy"
and it advocates the cleansing of di-
plomatic stables after war and a re-
turn to candor, integrity and straight
forwardness in international affairs.
"One cannot read q story like this"
the newspaper adds, without falling
in love with the virtues of candor,
and loyalty in public affairs
and not only loving them as fair vir-
tues, but honoring them for their eX-
traordinary efficiency as instruments
of human relationship"

FiUe-Minute Talks by
National Leaders
BY DIR. j. n. HURTY
Indiana Director of Public Health
Work

BY DIR. j. n. HURTY
Indiana Director of Public Health
Work.
Fully one-half of all taxes go to pay
for the results of sickness and disease
which in a higher state of civilization
we would not have.
Now, there is insanity. Mental dis
ease is the term the doctors now pre-
fer. Where does it come from? Why
do we have mental disease?
But first as to its cost to Indiana.
In round figures we plank down in
cash 100000 annually to care for
the insane. But that is not all the
cost, for there are 5000 insane, all
adults, and all withdrawn from pro-
ductive life.
If each one earned $500 per year
and this is a reasonable estimate
then the loss to the State is $4,000
The total loss due to insanity is, there
fore, S5,000,000 each year.
Now, here is where it comes from,
and we are as stupidity Indifferent to
the cause and the loss as we are to
SIN oke and its loss. Twenty-Five per
cent. of insanity comes from syphilis,
20 per cent. from alcohol poison, 35
per cent. is hereditary and the re-
mainder is such poisons as typhoid
poison, tuberculosis poison, diphtheria
sons and drugs.
Please observe each cause may be
largely controlled. Turn the problems
over to the health cranks, keep the
practical politicians at bay, and the
fearful annual loss would each year
grow less,
