 My friends wanted to give me a testimonial dinner for long time, but held them off. Finally they wouldn't take no for an answer" The $40 diners drank a toast to President Wilson and pledged their loyalty ot the United States.

By Prussian Militarism," MT. Hen derson said, i've mean an organized effort toward world domination by an illegitimate application of immoral ized military power.
 What the Allies contend in regard to Germany is that it's great military power is not subject to proper moral constraint; that it has not been used in accordance with such constraint, and that in spite of what has gone on for nearly two and a half years there has, so far, been no change in this respect and no prospect of change so far as Germany itself is concerned.
 What evidence is there that Ger many is no longer dominated by lust for power; that she is not moved now by the ideal of force rather than by moral principles or the force of great ideals?
 Have you forgotten that it is not long since Germany refused to sign an arbitration treaty with the United States? Is it the message of Christ mas or the exigencies of it's military and economic position which has wrought it's change of policy? Does
 
 sense a change of mind? If it did, we should expect to find a greater ac- ceptance of the second moral limita- ton on military power, the limitation that it should be used in the night way.
 "It is admitted in degree unprece- dented in the history of wars by neu- tral opinion that one of the combat ants has conducted war with a saw agness and lack of regard for human ity unprecedented for centuries. That again implies lack of the necessary restraint on the use of military pow CT. And the fact that there are no signs of improvement in this respect .-the fact, for example, of the Bel tgian deportations-does not suggest any change in German temper.
 Finally the Allies contend that Germany has not used it's great mili- tary power for the right end; that 1t has prepared and fought war of aggression, not of defence. If any one has any doubt let him read what was written in Germany about the objects of war in August, 1914, and contrast with that what is said now. l feel tempted to give you another de- finition of 'militarism.' Somebody has defined weeds as plants not kept in the proper place. I feel tempted to define militarism or at least it's cause, as an army not kept in it's proper place."
 Asked whether labor wished to continue the war or would be satis- fled with peace by negotiation, MT. Henderson replied:-
 Labor will be satisfied by such a peace as ends the existence of a great unmoralized military power; when and only when that can be secured by negotiation, not only labor, but every man in every country among the Allies will welcome peace by ne- gotiation. Such an end can only be secured. however, in one of two ways. Either German military power must be effectively controlled by a govern ment which has an adequate regard to moral constraints, or that power must be so weakened as to cease to be dangerous

Peru Government
 To Fight Malaria

The Government of Peru is taking steps for a vigorous campaign against malaria throughout the country. The work is to be classified under four heads: treatment of patients, protec- tion of people living in places where malaria. is recognized as endemic, de- struction of germ-transmitting insects and drainage or other special treat ment of swampy lands. In connec- tion with it's campaign the Peruvian Government will import annually whatever quantity of quinine may be deemed necessary, such imports to be exempt from import duties and port charges. Individuals and insti- tutions are to be enabled to purchase this quinine from the Government at cost price for their own use or treat ment of malaria patients in their charge.
 All proprietors of estates all rail- ways, corporations, and other or ganizations employing labor are un- der obligations to furnish medical as- sistance to their employees. either di- rectly or through proportionate con tributions to charitable dispensaries, and Inspectors will be appointed to see II1ctt LIIlS pdII OA IIAO WOI ACSCISCS due attention.
 Unemployed persons will receive free quinine from the Government. For the protection of persons living in swampy districts, houses must be equipped with mosquito-proof netting, and rice or other crops requiring flood ing must not be cultivated within a certain distance of habitatiOns.
 The Government will at once begin the work of draining the lands where malaria is most prevalent, and all private owners are given from one to four years to complete the sanita- ton of their lands. Where drainage is impracticable, swamps are to be treated with crude petroleum.

Madrid, Capital of
 Spain, Plans Subway

Madrid, the capital of Spain, is to have subway, if a project approved by the Spanish Government is carried out. It provides for an underground electric railway system, to be known as the "Metropolitano de Madrid AL fonso XIII," to consist of four dou- ble-trick lines.
