" WAR OF SCIENTISTS"
HALL CALLS STR
Great Psychologists Say Vic.
tory Lies in the Great
Laboratories.

Worcester Mass. June 23.--"rhis is
prc-emincntly a war of scientists"
so says Or G. Stanley Hall, one of
the most famous of the pure sCient-
ISIS OF America, professor of psychol-
ogy and president of Clark university.
The wars greatest battles have been
fought, not on the Marne or at Arras
or Nerdun,' he declared recently, but
IN the universities and laboratories of
Europe and America. Joffre, linden
turg and Jcllicoc have not had so great
q part in it's direction as have the
Wright brothers, Marconi and Simon
Lake; and these gentlemen in turn
were dependent upon those anony-
nous generals of modern warfare. the
pure scientists who laboriously worked
out the principles of physics and me-
clanics upon which all their invcn tons
were based. More and more it has be-
come apparent that the decisive factor
IN war today is the ability to mobilize
the nations knowledge. If democ-
racy is to win this world war against
autocraCy it must press into it's serv-
ice not only our Edisons and Burbanks
and Fords, but the masters of many
seemingly abstract sciences whose

almost overlooked. There are some
vital problems of war which only the
psychologists can solve.
Psychology Produces Results.
at is evident that applied phychol-
oEy has produced results In this war
which it was never possible to attain
before. Men have endured more, they
have shown more heroism and daring
and have submitted to more punish
ment than in any previous war. No
such slaughter would have been pos
sible in former wars without provoking
panic. This has unquestfonably been
due to the system of psychological Sc
lection. not only for the various grades
of service but for special activities
within each grade.
Our country may as well think of
going to war without first class mill
tary equipment as without u knowledge
OF applied psychology. The council OF
national defense seems to have rec
OEnizcd this: and the national research

MANY POLICIES LAPSE.

London.--Nearly 100000 life lnsur-
ance policies written by 10 insurance
companies in England have been al
lowed to lapse since the beginning OF
the war, according to official figures
published here. The fact that for the
years 1913 and 1914 the companies re-

paid out only 81, 100000 In claims and

War Suggestion.

New York, June 23.-A
flying squadron of freight
cars and engines, owned and
controlled by the govern
ment, to be thrown into rail-
road freight congestion when
and where needed, is pro-
posed by Frederic c. Howe,
United States immigration
commissioner at New York,
and student Of transportation,
to end transportation conges-
ton, swat high cost of living,
and help win the war.
Hundreds of millions of dollars is n
conservative estimate Of loss from
railroad breakdown" said Howe to-
day. Last April there was a shortage
OF 100000 cars. For a year there has
been a fuel famine. Car shortage has
compelled individual Industries to sus-
bend.
To-day. cars by the thousand are
backed up on tracks leading into New
YORK. Coal mines have been closed
or worked two days week. Farmers
and food shippers have felt the con-
gestion. Railroad managers, admitting
conditions last year to be worst in
history. assert even graver congestion

Adamson law would come in the
packing industry"
Howard E. Coffin of the national
defense council, who speaks here
next Saturday at the meeting where
J. Ogden Armour, John G. Shedd
and others propose to organize for
national defense, was a speaker at
q meeting of trade union Of
iicials in the A. F. of L. bldg. in
Washington recently. He startled
them with a flat-foOted declaration
that government food control would
be established within six months.
Even under normal conditions the
Chicago packers have a hard time
smothering the public feeling that
there is a vast cunning, greedy ma
nipUlatiOn of food supplies from the
center at the Chicago stOckyards.
Not only among radicals is this
voiced. It was heard a few weeks
ago at a national live stock raisers'
convention when Walter Fisher de-
nounced the rapacity of the Chicago
packers with a savageTy approaching
Upton Sinclair.
Food hogs" is a polite and pleas
ant epithet compared with what
would be flung at the Armours and
Swifts a few months from now if
they should keep control of the pro-
duction and distribution of the meat
supply of the United States with
prices slowly and surely rising.
The general explanation of the Ar
mour-Cudahy offer to turn over the
whole works to the government
contenting themselves with an
equitable return" fixed by the gov
ernment-is that they foresee a
probable danger and are ready with a
plan which will throw onto the gov.
eminent all responsibilities for prices
and supplies.
