I imagine Such an Industry
Il as This!

Let us suppose a great factory to be es-
tabllshed in Germany making its finished
products out OF raw material also obtain
able In Germany and that it is operated
upon some technical secret process making
some universally used product. And then
let US suppose that all the raw material il
can use is supplied to it and st its own
price before any one else in Germany OBJ
tans any, regardless of the market More
than that, that every process or machine it
uses is being worked upon for Improvement
by the best experts in the country, free of
charge, and that every new invention is nut
into operation at once, regardless of the
cost of scrapping other new machinery;
tnat TINS factory has full complement of
skliful labor that never leaves for any other
employment, and never, under any circum-
stances, strikes; that none of its processes
or methods can possibly reach the ears of
any competitor; that in case it has the
slightest fear of competition eyerv industry
IN Germany instantly contributes to mako
good any loss from cutting prices; that IL
has the right to fix its own freight rates
It's own export premium, it's own taxes its
own tariff upon any needed supplies it NAV
import and that in case of need it can in
stantly call upon the German Ambassador
to threaten any action by the German gov
ernment or army that might induce us to
remove any impediments to it's business
developing. Imagine such concern, and
volla!-you have precisely one of these in
dustries with which we shall have to com
pete after the war
In contemplating the enormous disad-
vantage that any private business, no mat
ter how large or how we'll organized. will
nave IN competition with these gigantic
government industries, we must be active
~ alive not only to the danger threatening
our own interests, with which it NAV be
that our government is competent to cone
by tariffs, but to the certain dependence
and ruin they entail upon our weaker and
the possibly unendurable strain thew mt
upon our stronger allies. If the threat ia
TO be met-if knowledge of the enemv's in

ARMENIAN GIRL
 LIKES NEW YORK
In World Outlook for June.)

(In World Outlook for June.)
 T landed in New York in the evening. It was wonderful The city was so big, so imense! But somehow it's immensity did not ter rify me, it inspired. And for the first time in my life was out at night without being frightened. The night before left Turkey I had missed the train and was alone for a while, and I was frightened to death All the horrors that we Armenians know so we'll swam before my mind. But here I was in America, in a city greater and more crowded than Con- stantinople and yet was not afraid! I Bt;1 cannot get over the feeling of joy with which go out in the even ing. To be safe at night is so sur prising.
 But even more than the sense of safety, we Armenians revel in the freedom of America To move about freely, to need no passports and feel that no spies are dogging our steps and that the soldiers need not be feared, and not to be hampered in our business or private lives is un- .endingfy wonderful. These feelings of safety and freedom sink so deer dn our hearts that no words can tel what they mean to us Armenians.''

PHYSICIANS WANT NATION MADE DRY
 WITHOUT WAITING

Chicago, June 1.-The annual con- vention of the American Medical As sociation opened last night at the Auditorium DT. Arthur Dean Bevan of Chicago, who was installed as the new president of the association, made plea for national prohibition. Each member of the medical pro- fession,' he said, should take an ac- tive part in the propaganda against drink and secure national prohibition not years from now, but now, when 1 it is so badly needed and will accom- plish so much good, not only for our boys in khaki and in blue, but for the nation in arms. And when it has once been done away with, it could no more be resurrected after the war than could slavery.
 l There can be no doubt of the in- furious effects of alcoholic drinks on both the physical and mental well being of our population. There can be no doubt that the greatest single factor we can control in the interest of the public health of the nation would be the elimination of alcoholic drink"
 The convention was called to order by Dr. Charles H. Mayo of Rochester, Minn-, the retiring president. After short speeches of welcome by Dr. Ed ward W. FTegenbum, president of the Illinois Medical Society, and Dr. Charles D. Humiston, president of the Chicago Medical Society, an address was made by Governor Lowden.
 The House of Delegates of the as- sociation adopted a resolution urging President Wilson to retain Major Gen lGorgas as Surgeon General despite the fact that he will reach retirement age next October.

DEATH PENALTY . FOR WOMAN SPY
 GIVEN BY COURT

Paris. Gar 51-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Brief an, nouncement has just been made that Paris court martial has condemned to death as a spy Madame M, ST years old. Her son, Noel, 16 years old, who was accused of being her accom- plice, was ordered to be sent to a pen itentiary colony until he comes of age. The court believed he was too young to be held responsible for his acts.
 As the case was not heard in public, only a few details have become known, such as that Madame Nj s husband was killed at the front in March, 1916, and that the widow soon stared a life that earned her, in the circles that she frequented, the name of ''the merry widow" She soon ran through the money she inherited and, to obtain more, communicated with a Gree1 iiv- ing in Spain, an agent of the spy bu- rueu established in Barcelona by the Germans.
 When mother and son were arrested the boy was just about to engage in the aviation service in order to obtain information to be supplied to Ger many.

CUNARD LINE CLEARED.
Loss of Lusitania Held to Be Illegal Act
of Germany.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The Cunard
steamship company cannot be held liable
for loss of life and property in the tor
pedoing of the Lusitania by a German
submarine, according to q decision hand
ed down in the admiralty branch of the
United States district court by Judge
Julius NJ Mayer and made public YES
terday. THE cause of the sinking of the
Lusitania was the illegal act of the i'm
periai German government, acting
through its instrument, the submarine
commander declared Judge Mayer. who
held that "the fault, therefore must be
laid upon those who are responsible for
the sinking of the vessel in the legal "a
well as moral sense
In dismissing suits against the Cunard
line aggregating nearly $4,000. 900
brought by heirs of persons who persisted
with the Lusitania on May Z. 1918. Judge
Mayer asserted that "it is not to be
doubted that the United States of Amer
lea and her allies will well remember the
rights OF those affected by the sinking
OF the Lnsitania and when the time
shall come, viii see to it that reparation
shall be made for one of the most indie
feasible acts of modern times.'
Judge Mayer went exhaustively into
claims that the Cunard line was nepli
gent and dismissed them with the con
clusion that the captain and members
OF the crew took every precaution iusti-
he'd by the then known facts, both before
and after the vessel was torpedoed.
