Sugar and Tuberculosis.

(Fronn the Schenectady Union Star)
 For many years scientific men all over the world have eagerly sought some cure for consumption, or "tuber- culosis," as it is soothingly called by phvsicianS Serums of all sorts, as well as medicines, have been tried in vain, but the great white plague has resisted.
 At times it has seemed as If a cure had almost been found, or at least something had beel. discovered to check the ravages of the disease, but nothing definite has resulted. Now hope is again stirred by the cabled in- formation that Professor Monaco of the biochenli'cal section of the lIincei academy at Rome has made the de- sired discovery. The eminence of the man and the carefulness of the Italian scientific press is almost certain guar anty against any false encouragement.
 Professor Monaco. explaining his discovery, said he had observed that sugar had a remarkable effect on the secretions of the human organism. After seven years of study of these phenomena he became convinced that the secretions of saliva, bile and the gastric and pancreatic juices were modified profoundly by the introduc- tion of sugar. This gave him the idea of applying this method to the bronchial secretions of consumptives.
 The first experiments made by this method on consum ptive soldiers from the front gave results far exceeding his expectation, he reports. There was rapid improvement in most cases, and he obtained cures which appeared to be radical.
 Professor Monaco explained that the bronchial secretion is an indispensable medium for the existence of the tuber- gle bacilli and that after an injection of hocharose the secretion diminishes and finally disappears, the bacilh dis appea ring with 1t.

PesSimism About Russia.
( Montreal Gazette)

Now, so far as I am. concerned"
 said President Wilson in the course
 of his Red Cross speech, T intend to
 stand by Russia as well as by
 France" This sentence in the Presi. dents declaration has been received
 with unusual interest and has given rise to much speculation. z
 How is the United States, how is anybody to stand by Russia? What fs Russia? The Russia of 1914 has passed away and is not likely ever tI
 return. The Russians, in the early
 period of the war, though only par tially equipped, fought bravely against the German and Austrian armies and, under able and skilfuI leadership, fought effectively. But the internal forces, which were bringing about the destruction of Russia, vera already at work and the ruin wrought by them is today complete. It would have been bad enough had the conse~ quenoes fallen upon Russia alone1 but they did not. They fell upon all the Allies, and they have placed the whole future of democracy in ths most extreme jeopardy. The men chiefly responsible for Russia's be- trayal of her allies, the men who gave the fairest provinces of Russia to her enemies. who have repudiated Rus- sia's obligations to other nations, the men who, either deliberately or otherg wise, either for money or without it. delivered Russia into the hands of Germany and sent new German arnl~ les against the Allies in the vest these men are still in control of Russ sia's affairs. There is no evidence that they regard their work as fail- ure, for which they are responsible. There is no evidence that their atti~ tude Of hostility toward the Allies has undergone a change. Nor is thers any other element in Russia strong enough to assert itself successfully against the Bolsheviki.
 Tn these circumstances, it is not easy to see how Russia is to be helped directly, however sympathetic and well disposed President Wilson may. be. Certainly, there does not seem to be the remotest prospect of bring ing Russia back into the war" as IS glibly suggested by some writers. Un% less there is marked change in taa attitude of Russia's present "govern% Russia can be helped only by beating tSermmcly in the western war theater and then enforcing a just reyi- sion of the Brest- -Litovsk treaty. Probably there was nothing but this, in President Wilson's mind. All thesa problems yield to the same solution, and to one only, the defeat of Ger% many in the west.

Political Tinidity."
(Frome the Chicago Tribune

(Frome the Chicago Tribune.)
 The record made by congress with the Overman bill effectually refutes charges which were both absurd and maleHplent, that partsansnIp was in- terfering with administrative fuTc- tions,% In the House of Representa- tiVes only two republicans voted against the bill, the passa ge of which is described aS the greatest adminis- tratiOn triump ph in generations.
 The fact is that not only is partisan ship virtually dead in congress, but political tinidity controls to an extent which prevents anything like a normal and healthy operation of legislative functions. A miscnievous congress, as- serting itself in meddlesome practices. would be a danger to the country, and the nation is fortunate to avoid that calamity. But congress which was not so frightened could do more for the United States.
 The explanation of much of the con- gresslonal state of mind Is offered by Senator La Toilette. His unwise, sour utterances, his attitude of protest, and recalcitranCy were so resented by the people that few men in congress will risk bringing down on themselves the opinion which has so isolated the Wis consin senator He is an example of a temperament to be concealed or cor- rected His course of action is an ex- ample of one to be summed.
 The profound evil Senator La Toilette has done is revealed in the political timidity of congress. It will not as sert itself for policies which the Ad- ministration does not favor, regard less of whether such assertion would be good for the country or not, and regardless of whether 1t would in war or not.
 Interference with war activities by congress would be intolera l,le. but the political tmidity does not stop when it has prevented medde elsomeness. It goes on to prevent the effectiveness of congress as a deliberating and deter mining body.
 We are convinced that the war council bill, which originated in con- gress, would have been a more service able instrum ent for the correlating of war activities would have given the president a better m cans of accom- plishing what needs to be accom- p1ished, but as soon as it was proved that the governm ent would not accept it and did want the auth ority con tained in the Overman .hills the only thing for congress to. do was to give what would be taken. ,-37
 But certainly there can be no sue cessfuE assertion that partisanship is influencing opponents of the govern m ent,

Iess "Business Steel".
(WalI Street Journal)

Winning the war is, of course, the one object before us all, and steel is absolutely essential for that purpose. The requireme ents now are seen to be five or six times the estimate of near ly a year ago. or almost capacity. Yet there are commercial consumers of steel who should be protected to the limit of what the Government may do with safety. It is to be hoped that with an output under it's control there may be enough left to keep industry reasonably well supplied after taking care of wars urgent demands.
 It may be possible to effect econo- mics fin its use just as we are finding ways to economize in other directions. Production cannot be increased over night, but it is known that new mills and furnaces will come into operation that should add considerably to the output by the end of the year. These are at least straws for industry to grasp at If a way can be devised to make them substantial, it should be done. If there is no other incentive, it should be remembered that bonds are purchased and taxes paid through productive industry.

drove them back a mile and quar- ter, captured about 200 prisoners and beat back two counter-attacks very successfully.
 Nor did this splendid achievement escape the notice of the French mili- tary commander. In his official statement he described the work of the Am merican soldiers as brilliant. It was the first time that such step was attempted by one of our contin- gents and it was executed as per schedule, without a single hitch. Let us hope that it is a forerunner of more brilliant victories to come. Per haps the German newspapers, as well as the Kaiser's troops, now have a different opinion of the lightning trained Yankees.

New Britain herald., 1918-05-30

warfare is the only branch of war fare in which anything of the old spirit of chivalry has persisted. This does not apply to the bomb bers, who commit assa ssination from the clouds, atta cking hospitals and undefended cities and staying civilians-mostly old men. women and children.
 But as between individuals fighting iE the blue a strange code of per sonal and professional respect has been maintained. They fight as en- emics, yet without passion-as men and not as maddened animals. In 8 contest requiring so high a degree of daring and valor each antagonist in- voluntarily comedies the others qual- ity. Richthofen was buried with mill itary honors by his opponents And the same tribute would be paid to an Allied aviator falling within the German lines.
 This is the one field in which we find the more honorable traditions of war as Frederick the Great and Louis HV. knew 1t surviving. It is so, per hGps, because air fighting Is still an art, rather than an impersonal, bru- tallzed business. However that may be, the world is right in hcroizing the great air fighters above all other fighters. They arc Chevalier Bayards of our day. Their names, like his, are sure of imm tality.

THE FEDERAI EXPRESS
 COMPANY.

Beginning July 1, the leading ex- press companies of this country will be under Government control and will be operated under the name of the Federal Express Company. If it was right for the Government to as- sume control of railroads during the war. then it cannot be disputed that the express companies also ought to be regarded in the same light and treated likewise. Whether a man be- lieves in general Governm ent monop- oiy or not, he must agree that the ex- press companies should be controlled by the Government just as are the mails. And one of the principal ad- vantages to be derived under the new management will be the great saving which will be made in the general di- rectton of such organizations, in rents and a cutting down of many over- head expenses.
 The parcel post system has proven it's worth and it is safe to predict that the new Federal Express com pany will become just as popular. Hitherto these two systems have been competing rivals. Now. under Gov ernment control. they will work to- sether.

"MitteI" Madness.
fNew York Tribune }


 "Mittel'' is word to conjure wit in the imaginations of the German Empire builders.
 First came Mittel- Europe. That TO- bust conception is now almost an es- tablished fact. "Mittel-Asien" would naturally be the next dream of Ger man empire. A basis for it already exists. The appropriation of South ern Russia and Trans Caucasia gives Germany an easy entrance into Per- sia and Turk estan. The restoration to Turkey of her Asiatic provinces would carry the German overlord to the Persian Gulf There is still a third vision cherished in Berlin--a 'Mittel- -Afrika". Our London corre- spondent. MT. Draper reports the re- vival of the German Middle Africa project 1oated before the war by Ger man leaders who thought that it could be realized without war. It did, in fact, make some progress toward realization through diplomacy, and the Lichnowsky papers and other re- cent disclosures indicate that Great Britain, at least, was strongly in clined to permit the creator of an en- larged German colonial empire in Central Africa.

The Edwards of the Air.
(F'rom the New York Tribune

tFTOm the New OTk If1Dun6.t
 For Americans Lufbery held a place among fighting aviators like that of Guynemer in France or Rich tofen in Germany. He was our rank ing "ace"; though, with our remote ness from the slang of the front, most Americans would probably be puzzled to identify him, classified thus in the terminology of the card table.
 There have been Kings of the Air and Queens of the Air before this war, but never Aces. Yet the new term was needed, so completely have the air prodigies of the present eclipsed the air prodigies of the past. To be a first class air fighter today is to rank with the great knights of the era of chivalry. who lowered so immeasurably above all other com hatants.
