STUDY POISON OF.
CANNED GOODS

New York, March 18.-It is an
nounced here by the National Re
search Council that an exhaustive in
vestigation IS to be undertaken to de-
termine to what extent, if any, the
danger of poisoning is involved in
the use of canned goods. The National
Gamers Association, representing
practically all producers of canned
foodstuffs in this country, is to bear
the entire expense Of the investiga-
ton, which will be conducted entirely
independent of the association except
in the matter of financing the work.
A sum of over 100000 will be ap-
propriated by the Gamers Associa-
ton, should the WORK require so large
an expenditure.
The proposal to make such an in
vestigation WAS brought forward by
DR.. George E. Hale, director Of the
Mount Wilson Solar Observatory and
chairman of the National Research
Council, who believed there was wide
spread interest in such an important
subject as the danger of poisoning
from the use Of canned Goods. Ap-
preaching the National Gamers As

pendent investigation made, firm as
it was in the belief that canning me-
thods as generally used in this coun-
try thoroughly protect the public
from the danger Of poisoning. Many
cases Of illness that have been at
tributed to poisoning from eating
canned goods are believed by the can
ners to have actually resulted from
entirely different causes or from dis
regard of the ordinary precautions,
such as not allowing goods to stanj
in a can after being once opend.
The Gamers Association itself has
for years maintained it's own labora-
tory in Washington, adequate to con-
duct its own investigations, but has,
nevertheless, thought it wise to put
its case into the hands Of an indepen-
den research board. for although the
subject is one that has been investi-
gated to some extent before, there
has as yet been no complete survey Of
this problem. With a view 70 suppl
ing tbs deficiency, the National Re
search Council has appointed a com
m ttee to supervise the inquiry, which
will be undertaken by the Harvard

MODERN loan OF ARC.

Is France to have another Joan of Arc?
A peasant girl family name Perchaud, of
the Maine-et-Loire department, declares
she is inspired by angel voices to lead the
forces of her country to victory. That she
is believed by thousands, is proved by the
construction of a rustic chapel on the site
of her visions" and by the worshippers
who go there to do reverence When sum
moned before the bishop for examination,
she is said to have detected his substitution
with priest to test her miraculous power
and the pope himself is STUDYING her case
The girl, who has been sent to a religious
home in Paris, has written book which
though sadly lacking in spelling and gram
mar, displays really remarkable ecclesi-
astic knowledge.
But though the Perchaud girls life para1-
lels Joan of Arcs very closely the manhood
of France is very different from the whip
ped ours whom Joan or Arc had to inspire
with patriotism and courage France
need, however was no greater then than
it is now-the supreme need typehed by a
woman faring forth to battle
No one doubts that loan of Arc was in
spired; that she was able to prOphesv, is
also Proved it is also a matter of fact that
she reversed military practice and won; in
plain hammer-and-to fighting she so
! imbued her soldiers with her own match
less spiri@ that they prevailed against heavy
odds. That France should accept the Per
chaud girls claims more sympathetically
than it did those OF Joan of Arc is natural
| one miracle makes another one probable
| but even without the miraculous power
the peasant girl of today NAV be able to in
spire soldiers with her own enthusiasm
and enthusiasm can accomplish anything

THE MEXICAN ELECTION.

Carranza has been officially elected
president of Mexico by what is said to be
the largest vote ever cast in that country,
and by practically unanimous ballot.
In the latter respect, he hasn't anything
con- his predecessors in the National Pal
ace; and all the claims as to the size of the
vote should be taken with pinch of press
agent salt.
How about the vote in the Villa con-
trolled region? What were the suffrage re-
quirements? Have the people suddenly
been smitten with education, and an appre-
citation of Democratic principles that their
ballot is worth anything after it is cast?
These are few of the questions that should
be asked before too much faith is put in the
rather ideal reports of Sundays election
that have been sent out of Merico.
For one section of the country to cast
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-03-14

ballots for a man at whom another section
is shooting bullets, is not, to say the least,
very convineing to Americans whose idea
of democracy is not founded so much on
unanimity of choice as law and order in
choosing; who rank popular understanding
above mere ballot tonnage
Mexico is great country but it is not a
country that can be governed by the meth
DDS that are successful here. It is a tyran-
ny-it will be benevolent tyranny when
peace is again restored but until the people
are educated, until the debasing pulque is
abandoned, tyranny is the only form of
government that can hold in restraint the
passions of ignorance.

But that's not all of the Song of Davie.
Six years ago, Willie's father took up his
ten-acre tract. When his first crop was
almost ready for market, came the food
and swept it away. He planted again
Frost ruined that crop. His neighbor
pulled stakes and left. But Huff planted
again-and lost again. Year after year
he was followed by the same memorable
fate-and still he hung on. He had faith
faith in his land, faith in himself.
Money gone, credit gone, with a ten
cent package of seeds he planted again
this season; he hoed the growing crop, he
weeded it-and struck it rich! One sea-

several hundred dollars in the bank.

in every profession. Men who fail in West

PRICE OF PEACE

In a speech entitled "Preparedness-the
Foe of Peace" the Hon. Warren Worth
Bailey, representative from Pennsylvania,
has deplored the militaristic trend of the
United States, whose armies total the stag
gering might of 100000 not to mention the
10000 militia that are at the behoof of a
'hotspur president"
1t was our rampant militarism, he said,
that almost drove us to the conquest of
China, and that hurled us into war with
Spain and unbridled expansionism, the
Hon. Warren Worth Bailey, of Pennsyl-
vania, declares amid much chest humping,
is endeavoring to dash our eager legions
into embattled Europe The conhagration
of the old world he ringingly announces, is
'the inevitable climax to an era of prepare
ton" and he quotes poem and denounces
preparation in general and our army appro-
priation bill in particular.
But war is just as much the climax of
peace as it is of preparation. There is not
a peace in history that has not ended in
war And there is not war in history that
has not ended in peace. War might there
fore be considered more moral, prima
facie, than peace-certainly peace is more
the object of war than it is of peace for in
war, both sides are fighting for peace,
whereas in peace it is rare that both sides
are equally DESTROYS of provoking war One
side is the aggessor-it wants to feed on the
other and the other must defend itself.
If the United States were over-populated,
if every resource had been exhausted, if it
needed expansion, there might be some
logic back of Congressman Bailey's fantas-
tic alarm
Abroad, however, such conditions do OBJ
tain. Germany acknowledged that she had
to expand-herIce war. That Germany is
dreaming of a new-world empire on the
American continent, is likewise known
Japan, too, is feeling the expansionist urge
though for the preset it may be satisfied II
China
Whether BY direct attack, or indirectly
through the Monroe Doctrine, the United
States is bound to feel foreign aggression
if not today, tomorrow; if not this genera
ton, the next We do not want war, btu
others do and we must be able to defenC
ourselves.
Of the national guard that went to thu
border, nearly one-half was without mill
tary training, and only thirty-seven pc
cent of those enrolled when the call CAM
were mustered into the service And thi
is one-half of the imperialistic army a
which Representative Bailey shakes hi
CORY locks Yet one foreign nation coult
land $4,000 soldiers on our Atlantic coas
in forty-six days, and another $3.50 OF
our Pacific in sixty-three days!
Not preparedness for war-that is no
the national need; but on preparedness
against war, depends our very life.
