JOHN DILLON is
NEW IRISH LEADER
Chosen to Succeed Late John Redmond
M Chairman Of Nationalist Party.

London, March 12.-John Dillon. member
Of Parliament for East Mayo. was to-day
unanimously elected chairman Of the
nationalist party. succeeding the late John
Redmond. The motion to elect Mr. Dillon
was made by Joseph Devln.
John Dillon, whose friends sometimes
said that he dictated the policies of John
Redmond first entered Parliament In 1880.
from Tipperary, at the age of 20 years
He was a physician by training but
abandoned the medical profession for
political career in which he was closely
associated with Mr.. Redmond during the
closing years of the latter's life.
Retiring from Parliament in 1888, he
spent two years in California. returning
In 1885 to be defeated as member for North
Tyrone but being elected in the same
year from East Mayo. which he has since
represented. Possessed of height and long
limbs to a degree to make him con-
spicuous figure. and presenting an air
which his associates have described as one
of melancholy. Mr.. Dillon has often stood
forth as a spectacular orator in his
activities in the House of Commons.
Early during the second year Of the war
he bitterly opposed the British govern
rent's plan to raise an additional 1.OOo0OO
troops. He attacked CONSUMPTION but
finally agreed to conform to the wishes
Of John Redmond in not further opposing
the military service bill. Early in 1916 he
denounced the governments methods of
dealing with the Irish revolt and con-
demned the executions. He made several
motions in the House of Commons urging
the government to disclose its plans for
the administration of Ireland. declaring
ireland would welcome elections on the
home rule question.
On several occasions Mr.. Dillon has
publicly criticized the British war policies,
notably in connection with Roumania.
Greece and the censorship. In an address
in Dublin last December he condemned
the Sim Feiners. declaring they had
alienated sympathy in the United States
for the Irish cause. During the session OF
Parliament last year he was described as
one Of the most voluminous takers.

Subway Confusion.

The main problems of the subway
that now vex the public, the railroad
men and the Public Service Commits
sion are so large and complex that
philosophic travellers await with
sweet patience the hour of their solu-
ton through the fortuities of time,
human genius or larger fares. There
are smaller problems, however, that
could be solved Immediately by the
respective managers of the dual sys-
TEN; and these are vexations that
exasperate the public almost as much
as the temporary failure of the II"
system or the delays of train opeyn-

THE ODD WICKED SANDWICH
What Dexterity Must Be Employed to
Violate That Supposed Law!

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: II
IS with amazement and no small amount
of apprehension that read the letter of
Mr.. Perry Lukens In which he states
that 1t is against the United States Gov
eminent regulations for a man to have
more than one sandwich in his possession
at any one given time. Is this prohibit
ton nationwide or does It obtain in
Philadelphia only?
j judge that the gentleman must have
carried the two sandwiches In one hand,
because he speaks Of having a glass of
beer, and he must have had one free
hand with which to operate the beer
glass unless he drank .he beer through
a straw. Drinking beer through straw
is not the proper mannAr in which to
absorb that mild form OF stimLtant. In
fact II Is positively nauseating. / tried

have but one sandwich at a time how

Rumanla Under German Peace

Rumania Is adding to the proof
which Ukraine and other parts of

nished Germany that the peace forced
by her arms is not to be a lasting

which Berlin had made on Rumania
was that her crops were to be sold

LANDSICKNESS.
The PuzZllng Illness OF Some Who
Escape Nal de- Mer.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: l
read with much interest the article rela-
tive to seasickness which appeared in
a recent issue of THE SUN. Having
made with my wife some twenty five
or more voyages on the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, during which my wife
has never, even in the toughest weather
suffered any inconvenience from sea-
sickness, she being frequently the only
lady present at meals in the dining
saloon. / am led to inquire IL there are
not some or perhaps many fortunate
individuals who are absolutely immune
from attacks OF NAL de mer and II that
is fact, why do they escape while 9TH
ers suffer-
Another question I have in mind re-
lates to the cause of that curious SEN
sation called by those who are subject
to It 'landsickness." This l can best
describe as a dizzy feeling felt after
landing from long voyage by persons
who have not been sick at sea. OBJ
jects seem to undulate and perfect eQui-
librium is not restored until the body
becomes readjusted to shore conditions,
Still another question. Does not the
condition OF the stomach and digestive
organs have much TO do with suscep-
tibility to seasickness? / am a pretty
good sailor. and on the few occasions
when ! have been seasick ] have at
tributed it to having eaten unwisely OF

fore sailing.
Lastly, and perhaps the most inter
esting question of all, to the chronic
sufferers from this malady: May the

at drug stores in properly prepared

terested 10 know that last winter the
Food Administrator prepared manu-
script to tell people what and how to
eat" This information was sent TO
many women's colleges to be used as the
basis Of a simple dietetics course. The
manuscript included the food consump-
ton and food reserves OF the Allies, as
we'll as n basis for laboratory work with
the view to learning the sizes OF the
famous "l00 calorie portion" This
material can probably be found In the

inexpensive book from which can be
worked out the food value OF nearly
everything we eat.
In general it's pretty safe rule to
fellow that fatty foods "of whom pie is
which," are high In calories. One gram
OF fat gives nine calories. while the
same quantity of carbohydrate and pro-

mistaken. What makes the District

times more deadly, contrived by the

Felony only to conceal that sort of
