An Apology in Order.

The least that Senator Chamberlain
can now do is to offer public apology
TO both President Wilson and Secre-
tary Baker for the unjustifed attack
that he made upon the manner in
which the war is being prosecuted by
the United States. 1t may be that the
Oregon senator was used by others to
besmirch the administration and COM
fort the enemy, accepting as facts re-
ports he did not take the time to con-
firm. II this be so he ought to be big
enough to confess his gullibility and
make an effort to set himself right
before the American people. AS mat
tiers stand today Senator Chamber
lain is in an unenyiable light, possibly
largely through the connivance of 9TH
ers, and it would be the manly thing
for him to do to make clean breast
o. his errors.
Any allegation directed against the
war department by the Oregon senator
has not injured the administration
On the contrary, he opened the way
for Secretary Baker to fully report
what his department had done since
the beginning OF the war, and afforded
him opportunity to brush aside ru-
mors of laundering and incompetency
that have been flying over the nation
for months with the result that the
American people today are better sat-
isfied than they ever have been with
the manner in which war prepare
lions are being conducted and with
the men entrusted with the undertake
ing of helping defeat the kaiser. Sen
ator Chamberlain hurt himself more
than he did Secretary Baker. He
ought to show himself the man that
he is believed to be and come forward
and admit that he uttered a lot Of
charges that were without foundation :;
that he regrets having done so, and
is proud Of the record that the secre-
tary Of war has shown the American
people his department has been
making.
The United States is pushing the
war with all possible speed. There
have been some mistakes made. There
will be more of them. But before the
end of the current year there will be
100000 American fighters on Euro
pean SOIL There is bound to be few
plumbers made in training. transport
ing and equipping such large army
Wouldn't you think so?

Kaiser Slipping?

Emperor Wilhelm is for peace BY
agreement. and because he is we have
it from Professor Hans Delbruecke
OF the University OF Berlin that he
has been subjected to fierce attacks
on the part OF the pan Germans. We
have it from the professor that the
warning nations are now divided into
two camps, the first comprising those
who, like Premier Lloyd George in
England and Admiral Won Tirpitz in
Germany. wanted a fight to a finish.
and the second consisting OF those
who. like Emperor Wilhelm, the Ger
man government. the reichstag ma
jority and the great majority of the
German people who were working for
negotiated peace The professor
would have US believe that the pan
Germans are up in arms against the
king because the latter has shown a
disposition TO withdraw the mailed fist,
TO give some consideration to the
rights OF enemy nations and to those
little countries which have been over
run and ravished by the Hun. The
professor even goes so far as TO crit
icize the German chancellor for not
having made it palmer than he did
in his recent speech that Germany
had no thought Of infringing upon the
integrity or sovereignty OF Belgium.
The claim thar the pr0-Germa n G
have turned on the kaiser is real
news. Americans have always been

head OF that faction and that they

Ends Railroad Lobby.

Director General McAdoo has de-
cided that the railroad lobbyist must
quit Washington. Thereby he pro-
poses that there shall be a saving or
several millions of dollars year Ell
fected. One of the most pernicious
institutions that has thrived for gen.
erations in the national capital is the
paid agent of the railroad whose busi-
ness it has been to see that his corp
Grafton got everything and anything
it wanted in legislative fayors. Like
wise it has been his function to OPP
pose any measure that might interfere
with the selfish aims Of his employers,
MIR. McAdoo has not told the lobbyist
in so many words that he must pack
his grip and leave Washington, but he
has determined to cut off his source
of income. In other words. he will
be dropped from the railroad payroll
Unless he has other means OF earning
a livelihood in the capital he will be
obliged to return to his old home town
and take up his former work where he
left off to come to Washington to draw
fat retainers as lobbyist. There are
hundreds Of suave gentlemen engaged
in the national capital whose activi-
ties are devoted to influencing legisla-
ton one way or another, but the bust
est of all Of them is the railroad repre-
sentative. He cares nothing for
the interest of the public. Whether a
bill was just or not, if 1t was moi
written to suit the requirements of the
railroad his instructions were to op-
pose it and spend money literally tc
accomplish its defeat. His latest un-
dertaking was the attempt to induce
the government to loan 81 200, 200. 00(
to the railroads to aid them through
the financial embarrassment they al.
legged they were suffering as result
of the war, citing the increased labor
cost and advanced price Of materials
as reasons why they could not NEE,
the situation, despite that they were
doing more business than ever before
in their history. The government an.
swer to that last play was the taking
over of control of the railroads for the
duration of the war Mr.. McAdoo il
showing that the roads can be operat
ed profitably with their present equip
ment, and one of his first means OF
saving is by ending the lobby in the

carry the fight to the end--to cul-
mination, that would satisfy the aims
OF Germany as fixed years before the
war was started. However. If it is
true that the kaiser has experienced
mellowing of the heart all of the
nations arrayed against Germany will
be glad to hear it, Certainly the
United States does not want the war
to go on a day longer than is neces-
sary to gain recognition of the prin-
ciples whose violation brought this
country into the conflict. OF course
peace by agreement is broad term
and one capable of various interpreta-
tons, but if the kaiser, as ii is now
claimed. has gone over to the side OF
the people. and is in sympathy with
their desire to halt the slaughter
there is no one in better position than
he to say the word that will cause the
vast armies fighting in Europe to lay
down their arms.
Or can it be possible that the kaiser
is doing some more of his clever cam
oufaging- inducing attacks from MS
own clique in order to open the way
for a peace proposal that will, at
ford him a new excuse to make con-
cessions that he has until now stood
firmly against in the face OF the
growing unrest among the people? The
/ truth may be that the kaiser, fearing
overthrow of his government, is seek
ing to save his neck by proclaimlng
himself the friend of his people, anA-
ions to carry out their will, which
now seems to be to end the war. II
looks as if the million copies OF the
/ last address of President wilson
dropped in Germany from aeroplanes
were beginning to get in their work
among the people of the fatherland.

heavy breathing, etc. q. A.
Answer. Only in this sense, that
tissues or parts directly injured by the
fall would be places of temporarily
diminished resistance, and if the indi-
vidual already has latent tuberculosis
Gas most Of us have somewhere in the
body the germs might find their way
to the injured place and set up tu-
berculosis there. 2. No.
The Latest Antiseptic Fad.
Kindly advise me whether Dakin's
solution or Dobell's solution as a
spray for the throat will have any
prophylactic effect in the case Of a
person 60 years old who has been SUBJ
ject for lifetime to recurring tonsi-
litis, quinsy and ordinary sore throat.
His business is sedentary, subjects
him to Overheated air and great strain
on the vocal organs in debating, etc.
Is. c.
Answer-In my opinion, no prophy-
Tactic effect can be expected from
spraying or gargling the throat under
any circumstances. The action of any
antiseptic solution so used is but mo-
mentary, whereas disease germs gen.
orally resist several minutes the ordi-
nary strength of antiseptic solutions
that can be safely employed in body
cavities. The gentleman should have
cloth window screens installed In the
room where he dictates. He should
have the diseased tonsils removed.

The Adventure.
A maxim manufacturer once re-
tired to his workshop, got down his
lexicon, book Of synonyms and other
tools, and proceeded to hammer to-
gether one to this general effect,
namely, that the chief end of life in
this world is the gaining of health,
wealth and happiness.
What extravaganza! Now had
made that maxim l should have ex-
pressed it like this: The ultimate goal
of our mundane existence is the at
tainment of health, health and health.
l certainly regret to see anything
wasted, especially words.
Heaven is a place where everybody
enjoys perfect health. One OF these
days heaven is going to have some
branch Offices established around the
earth.

question Of preventing the spread Of
