The war program of Congress, even
though expanded materially in scope
from the original outline for the
session which began December 3 last,
is rapidly nearing fulfillment. The
sessions enactments promise to be
legislative record breaker, both in the
volume and the vast Importance of
the new laws.
Changes have been written into the
statutes of the nation justly to be
classed as revolutionary from the
point of view of a few years ago; in
deed at that time they would have
been considered unthinkable. This
has been done, taking the work in the
mass, with comparatively little debate
and less than would have been thought
possible in the past.
1t would be difficult to ella ssify in
point of relative Importance the work
of the session thus far or to enum-
crate the acts in the order of their
gravity. Only a few more bills, out
side of the appropriation measures,
yet remain to complete the war legis-
lation.
Outstanding Enactments.
Outstanding in the enactments Of
Congress this session are the follow
ing:
The war finance corporation act.
under which the government, through
officials working with the Treasury
Department, takes absolute control OF
the issues of securities in this coun-
try and virtually limits their output.
So that, with the national bank laws,
the federal reserve act and this new
law. control and direction of capital
by the government is assured.
The act effectuating the taking
over and direction of the railways by
the government. under which it has
already been possible for the direc-
tor general Of the railways to IN
crease rates, passenger and freight
with a stroke of the pen; to replace
railway executives in the direction of
the affairs of the roads; to conSoI-
date and coordinate railway activities
and to increase the wages of opera
tives
The act to promote export trade
which in effect vests in the President
of the United States control OF I'M
ports and exports of merchandise
A corresponding act to exercise sim
liar control upon the arrival and de-
parture of persons to and from the
United States-in short. placing the
ports of this country to all practical
fntents and purposes under control OF
the executive, to be closed or opened
as the best interests of the nation de-
mand from time to time.
The act to melt down the silver
money in the Treasury vaults. SO as
to conserve the stock of gold, settle
adverse foreign trade balances and
stabilize the American dollar abroad.
To Punish Sedition.
The acts to punish seditious utter
ances against the United States, to

A DESERVED TRIBUTE

. What American Medical men think of
the way in which alcohol and veneral
disease has been handled in the canton
ments in the United States may be seen
by the declaration of DIR. Arthur Bevan,
mead of the American Medical Associa-
ton: s a ~
"Strikingly successful has been the
handling of the venereal problem" said
DR.. Bevan. "a careful examination of
the evidence shows that venereal disease
is only about half as frequent in men af-
ter they enter the army as in similar
groups Of individuals in civil life. Ger
tanly no army has ever been modified
which has been as clean morally and free
from venereal disease as the present AM
erican army. Associated with this fact
and responsible in large part for the
splendid showing made is the elimination
in a large part Of drink from the army.
Certainly no army has ever been moboliz-
ed that has been so free from drinking as
the American army. 1t was fortunate
that our mobilization occurred at time
when the amount of drinking in this
country was rapidly diminishing, and at
q time when most of our states We're go
