CLAIMS DRINK WORST .
 ENEMY OF MANKIND

Chicago.-National prohibition for the benefit of military and civilian population alike, the necessity or each county in the United States sending & quota of 20 per cent of its medical men into army service, and the withdrawal of doctors gen orally from association after the war with German scientists until Germany has purged itself of guilt, were the features of the address of Arthur Dean Bevan of Chicago, 'n- stalled Tuesday night as president ot the American Medical association.
 Dr. Charles May of Rochester, Minn., retiring president; Surgeon General Gorgas, U. S. A, Surgeon General Braisted, U.. S. N, Assistant Surgeon Fucker of the army and medical emissaries from the nations of the entent attended the war meeting of the association, in addi- tion to hundreds of physicians and surgeons from all sections of the country here for the sectional meet ings of the association which begin Wednesday.
 In his address Dr. Beyan paid sps cial tribute to the work of surgeon General Gorgas and called attention to the fact that the army death rate has been less than 10 per thous and in the mobilization and concen- tration camps of the twice as good as the record held by any country prior to this time" He saidt
 "The health of the men is better looked after in the army and navy than 1t was when the men were still in civil hfe."
 Styling the elimination of alco- holic drink the ggreatest single fac tor that can be controlled in the in- terest of public health, Dr. Beyan said:
 F'In the slow evolution of civiliza- tion, many great wrongs became so entrenched that it required centuries of education or revolution to ex- tirpate them. Among these great wrongs, too long tolerated, none has done more injury to mankind than drink. Now the swiftly moving course of events is writing the death warrant of rule by divine right and science and education should elimin- ate not only plaques and epidemics but also the curse of drnk from the world"

STEEL MEN CONTINUE
CONFERENCE ON RAILS
Apparent That the Two Sides
Are About as Far Apart
as Ever
New York, July 20.

New York. July 20.
No agreement has yet been reached
among the steel men on the price of
steel rails The committee has held
several meetings. and although it was
the general opinion that the question
would be settled definitely during the
last week, it is apparent that the two
sides are about as~far apart as ever
According to the best information OBJ
tainable. the Bethlehem Steel Corpora
tion and the Midvale Steel and Ordnance
Company are the objccters to the policy
of the majority. The officials of these
companies are said to have been hold
ing out for higher price that the other
conferees believed justified
1t is probably because of the many
orders for shell steel held by the two
companies mentioned that the officials
have been protesting the majority opn-
ion The rail plants are said to be op-
Grating at capacity on shell steel, for
which the price is about $50 per ton.
and to fix price for rails of s55 for
Bessemer, as now quoted, would mean
a considerable loss per ton on the out
put.
However, the talk in the trade is that
the majority of the conferees have been
in favor of price below the s55-per-
ton level, and this fact has caused the
apparent deadlock 1t is believed in
usually well-informed circles that the
difficulties will be ironed out in the near
future and an announcement made pub
lie.
Officials Of virtually every important
iron and steel company in the United
States held two meetings during the
week. The first, on Monday, was at
tended by j. Leonard Replogle. direc-
tor of purchases for the United States
Government. and other Federal repre-.
sentatives.
After the first meeting it was stated
that prices and differentials on various
specialities" were under discussion and
in some quarters this was taken to
include steel rails, although there is no
official information on this. However.
no statement Of any action accomplished
was biven out after the gathering.

The cotton market was weaker today
and many stop orders were reached.
The sinking of the United States cruiser
San Diego, created fears that German
submarines might have reappeared in
American waters. Reports from WASH
ington. concerning price-fixing proposals,
were confusing and unsettled. promoting
a tendency to even up commitments
The easier ruling of prices for spot in
the Southwest late yesterday, with the
revision of spot quotations at Galveston
showing reduction in pressure on high
grades made some impression on senti-
ment as possibly indicating the effect OF
the approaching movement of the new
crop.
Weather conditions averaged some-
what better. Private reports stated
that showers have fallen in sections Of
eastern States where moisture was
needed. Temperatures We're higher and
the map showed precipitation in the At
lantic coast States and in southern Tex
as.
The weekly statistics were considere Q
bearish but apparently had no influence
on the early dealings.
