WAR on PNEUMONIA.

One of the most important an
nouncements in recent months has to
do with the success Of the bacterin
treatment evolved by DR.. f. G. Rose
now Of the University Of Minnesota
to oppose pneumonia.
The success of the treatment in
Chicago gives. ground for the hope
that it may be adopted in the army
where majority of deaths have re-
suited from pneumonia during the
past several weeks.
Surgeon General Gorgas' reports
which called attention to the shortage
of proper clothing for soldiers in
many camps assigned that shortage as
a reason for the rapid spread of pneu-
monia among the troops. Dispatches
from Deming, N. NJ, indicate. that
proper care has not been taken at
Camp Cody in arranging schedules for
drills so that men would not be com
PEELED to lie on the ground in the ear
~ morning hours.
These dispatches also carry the as
surance that orders have been issued
for a change in the routine Of the
camp. 1t is probable that similar
remedial measures are being taken at
other camps and that they will result
in a decrease in pneumonia cases
throughout the army.
If DR.. Rosenow's treatment can be
introduced to further offset the dis
ease it will mark a great forward
step which will go far to increase the
publics confidence in the army and to
allay anxiety.
The Minnesota doctor. it may be said
in passing, is making rapid strides in
his profession. although for many
years he has been known within its
ranks as one Of the most advanced
investigators. About year ago he
perfected an anti-toXin for infantile
paralysis and has employed it ef-
fectively, notably at Davenport.

WITHIN THE LAW.

It is difficult to understand the re-
fusal of Rev. John Haefner Of Musca-
tine to join the Red Cross. Accord
ing to the Muscatine Journal, his re-
fusal to become a member Of the or
ganization at the request Of delega-
ton Of Muscatine citizens was &C
companied by the significant DECLARE
ton, There Is no law compelling me
to wear a Red Cross button"
The Rev. Mr.. Haefner is we'll known
in Ottumwa, where he was pastor OF
St. Paurs German Lutheran church
some years ago. He enjoyed the good
will Of people generally here, and his
standing in the church Of which he is
clergyman is evidenced by his
election to Offices of trust by tho state
synod.
1t is disappointment to those mo
have known him to learn that he ap-
parently is measuring his loyalty to
America by the letter of the lapr.
Such a spirit does not make for true
loyalty nor for a spread of patriotism.
1t is regrettable that the Rev. Mr..
Haefner occupies a place Of promi-
nence and influence in a community
like Muscatine, where there are many
citizens of German birth or parent
age.
He may have some reason for re-
fusing to identify himself with the
Red Cross, but it can not be reason
sufficient to justify his refusal in the
light Of present conditions. Certainly
the fact that there is no law COM
polling him to join the organization Is
not a reason sufficient to satisfy truly
patriotic Americans.
In his capacity of clergyman, the
Rev. Mr.. Haefner Yields an influence
among the members OF his church.
That influence should. lack nothing
that might maleS Tor loyalty to Ameri-

lowing which Senator La Toilette had
a few years ago when he was in the
hey day OF his popularity as a foe of
the corporations, is dwindling rapidly.
Many prominent Wisconsin newspa-
pers which supported him bltndly TO-
many years have taken the other side
now, and 1t is difficult to find praise
for him in any of them.
Mr.. La Toilette is one Of the men
who are mainly responsible for the at
lacks on the railroads which resulted
in the depreciation Of railway securt
ties to such an extent that the COM
panies were unable to expand their
properties and increase their equip
ment to keep pace with the nations
progress. The extraordinary wartime
demand revealed their weakness and
the inevitable result was government
control, which will cost the public
heavily.

added. Now is the time to follow
his advice.
THE BREWERS TOOL.

OF all the newspapers that are
printed in America, few If any display
a lower standard of morals than the
Washington Times. Recently this
property was purchased in the name
of Arthur Brisbane, who had won a
more or less enviable fame as one OF
the highest priced editorial writer's in
America. He it was who had written
for the various links in the Hearst
chain lot of frankly yellow editorials
which had done much to encourage
the socialistic strain that Is coming to
the surface in America now in various
forms Of disloyalty.
Suddenly, few months ago, it was
announced that Mr. Brisbane had pur
chased the Washington Times and
would edit it. Now it appears that
the money with which he made
the purchase was supplied in whole
or in part by the brewing interests OF
the country, impelled by desire to
have an organ at the national capital
which would look after their interests
and publish their propaganda.
Mr.. Brisbane is having a glorious
time with his mixture of socialism
and beer. In front page editorial in
a recent issue he devotes a column
to the two interests. First he pub
fishes few hundred words of drivel
in which he berates the rich and sym.
pathizes in a maudlin manner with
the poor and all who must work. His
argument, if it may be digniaed by
that name, is threat Of social revo-
luton in America and an appeal to
the prejudiced and ignorant to make
good this threat.
Then he drifts into TRADE against
prohibition and ends up with proph-
ecy OF permanent government owner
ship of railroads. His cheerful disre-
gard for sense and logic is illustrated
by his confident assertion that govern
ment control will bring an immediate
increase in the wages Of railway en-
ployes, particularly those who are not
members of the brotherhoods. For
weeks he has been railing at the gov
eminent because it has not increased
the scale of pay for the government
clerks in many years although the
cost of living has been mounting
steadily. Presumably, he reasons that
the government will raise the pay OF
railroad employees under federal con-
troll because it has not raised the pay
of clerks working in departments
under similar control.
This is typical of the '1ogic" which
has characterized Mr.. Brisbane's yell
low editorials for years. 1t is typical OF
the line Of reasoning which begets
strength for socialism through foment-
ing discomfort and desire to destroy.
Mr.. Brisbane and his Washington
Times are Of no good use at this time
He has spoiled pretty good news
paper to make a pitifully weak organ
for socialism and the brewers.

feet.
It is difficult indeed to understand
how a clergyman Of any church OF
Christian faith can conscientiously do
anything that can be construed as op-
position to the Ped Cross. Certainly
the principles of the Red Cross are the
principles Of Christianity and human
ity.
An American flag flies from the
residence of the Rev. Mr.. Haefner,
having been presented to him by Mus
catine citizens when it was announced
at their loyalty meeting that he was
not displaying the emblem. It seems
that he makes a point Of the fact. too,
that he forwarded to Red Cross head
quarters a sum Of money raised for
the Red Cross by the synod Of which
he is treasurer. Neither the sending
Of the money nor the display of the
flag constitutes patriotism, any more
laws prohibiting disloyalty and sedi-
ton.
Refusal to join the Red Cross by
anyone VINO can anOfO TO pay the
membership dues Of 81 can not ap-
pear other than as an anti-American
act. There can be no doubt but the
Rev. Mr.. Haefner has a preference as
to the outcome of the war; either he
hopes America will win over Prussian
autocracy or he hopes the kaiser will
achieve his ambitions for world EN-.
pire and the spread Of kultur. BY re-
fusing to Join the Red Cross he has
invited the suspicion that he favors
the kaiser, and If that is the case he
should vacate his home in Muscatine,
60 back to Germany and cease to &C
cept the privileges which citizenship
in America has permitted him to en-
Joy.
There is no room in America now
for pro-Germans nor withfn-the-law
patriots.
