Social Hygiene

Task Of Social Hygien. By Hsyelock Ellis
sVo. %. '. 2j2. Houghton Mlriin Company.
While no longer lone voice in the
wilderness, Mr.. Havelock Ellis is still
forward with findings from his chosen
field of research. The questions bound
up with the cause of social hygiene
derive a more pressing Significance in
view Of the war, and the present essays
deal chiefly with marriage and divorce,
eugenics and birth control and with
the status Of democracy in an era Of
ferocious conflict. There is chapter
also on morality in warfare, in which
the appeal is neither to the always un-
attained Sermon on the Mount nor to
the morality Of Mumbo Jumbo, but to
tho by no means indefnsble morality
which consists in the conduct of the
main body of community. The ma
jority OF civilized people have more or
less in common a certain conventional
code concerning the things which may
or mny not be done in war. The use

The same confident note that was
sounded In "Alls Well" is dominant
In this latest volume OF Mr. OXenham's
war verse. The author perceives all
the tears and blood and woe of the
great war; but above and beyond them
all he perceives with unfsltering gaze
the Vision Splendid of the Cross Tri-
umphant in a world in which God and
Right shall reign supreme. The pure
ly poetic merit Of the volume is scarce
ly equal TO that Of its immediate prede-
ceSSor, though il is by no means small;
but the ethical and spiritual standard
shows no decline.

Washington.-Plan for taking over
for operation all American ocean-go-
ing merchant ships soon will be an
nounced by the Shipping Board. Char
ters will be requisitioned under re-
cent act of Congress authorizing the
President to commander tonnage for
government uses.
The program is preliminary to put
ting into operation an agreement be-
tween the American and British gov
ernments for joint control of the
worlds shipping. 1t will give the
Shipping Board control of ocean
freight rates charged by American
ships and rate basis being worked
out will be used for building an inter
national rate schedule.
The plan is to commander charters
and wherever advisable let the ship
itself be operated by its owner under
a government charter. In this way
the government will direct operations
and specify services in which ships
shall ply and, at the same time, avoid
expenditure of the vast sum of money
that would be required If the hulls
themselves were taken over.
President Wilson forbade export Of
any iron and steel plate, pig iron, iron
and steel scrap and steel billets from
this country except such as the allies
need for actual war purposes" Other

to be freely licensed, but only to the
allies.

declared unreservedly that Norway
faced privation if the United States
enforced an export embargo against
her. Norway also would give a guar

would reach Germany.
