OUR FIRST MEDICAL SCHOOL

The first medical school in Ameri-
ca was founded in Philadelphia in
1865. This college was affiliated
with the college and Academy of
Philadelphia" which afterward be-
came the University of Pennsylvania.
Prior to the launching of this insti-
tltion the apprenticeship system still
prevailed, except for the few who
could afford to attend European med
zeal schools. Boys who wanted to
practice the healing art usually ap'
prenticed themselves to practitioners,
and often performed the most mental
duties while acquiring haphazard
medical education. DR.. John Morgan,
who received his medical education
in Europe, was the founder of the
pioneer medical school, and was chUs

did not hesitate to discuss important
naval matters with him. In this
capacity, too, he was enabled to visit
various big naval bases and to study
his profession" in or around the navy
department. In brief, he learned a
most enormous lot of facts about our
navy. Said one commander after
ward:
Boyd grew to be better inform
ed about the United States navy
than many of it's own officers, and
more familiar with American coast
defenses. He could pilot warships. or
submarines, to all the places where
they could do the most damage.
Before coming to America he had
been Won Tirpitz's right hand man.
1t was he who, in 1910. worked up
through the press the sentiment
which made the Reichstag approprf-
ate $100 100000 for the German navy
Yes, during his supposedly lazy
stay in Washington, Capt. Karl Boy
Ed was eternally busy. unsupported,
he was learning countless things
which would have been of use to his
country in case of a German invasion
of the United States-things which
may or may not have been of vital
use to the U-boats which have sought
to harry our coast,
He was earning his salary, and
earning it WELL
he
shifted to New York and there es-
tablished headquarters in hotel.
Thence he swayed the carefully ar
ranged plan of publicity which was
intended to rouse our country to
pro- German and fiercely anti-ally SEN
timent.
For a long time our government
bore patiently the outrageous conduct
of Boy-Ed and his accomplice, Won
Papen, the German military attache
| in Washington.
Loudly Boyd denied that he was
a SPY or that he had done anything
illegal or underhand. That was all
the good it did him. He was packed
out of the United States
And the German government had
no power to resent his dismissal For
at every turn he was caught with the
goods.
! So back home he went having
done all the mischief he well could,
and carrying to his superiors In the
German navy mighty mass OF facts
concerning our defenses and shipping
There was no penalty exacted for
what he had done. He got away
scot free.
At that time we were not yet at
war with Germany. And Boy'Ed was
not the only German to take advant-
age of that fact to do all the damage

WARM RECEPTION

A warm reception was accorded
Henri Rabaud as conductor OF the
Boston Symphony Orchestra yesterday
afternoon by the capacity Audience
at The National Theater, when an ALL
orchestral program was given. 1t was
the first appearance Of Ii. Rsbaud
with the orchestra in Washington and
one felt that he had distinctive riu-
sic message to convey through the
medium of his players.
It was a tone painter, par excel
lence, that NJ. Rabaud became in the
subtle nature music of Saint Saens'
Youth Of Hercules" This tone poem
was executed with a rare repose In
which the varied orchestration was
brought out with a detailed perfection
and ever vibrant atmosphere. One had
marked NJ. Rabaud's vitality at the
outset-but here was a charming del
icacy, a murmuring nature with its
pastoral quietude, until the god Pan
seemed to awake to a Bacchhnale with
a soaring Romanza. In N. Rabauds
France" however, the solemn relig-
ious spirit is ever present, and IL held
reverent note in a tone picture OF
exquisite beauty.
In the Beethoven symphony, the
"Eroica." which opened the program.
there was a rather pedantic touch In
the decisive beat that NJ. Rabaud used
in q sharply accented reading. Vital
he was and decisive more than dra-
matte, IL seemed, until the last two
movements into which he instilled a
spirit of real gAyety, with q humor at
times grotesQue in its blitheness.
The scherzo held this airy lightness
with forceful dynamics, while mood
dominated the finale that was given
with suavity, facile execution and
again markedly rugged impress. 1t
was rarely executed and the minor
episode for winds was an unusual
andante.

lence that NJ. Rabaud became in the

call them-for scenes there were In
the orchestral color of the instru-
ments and a whole dramatis personae

gypsy scene, with its several gifted
solos for solo violin played by Fred

OF NEW COLOMBIA TREATY

to report on the progress of nego-

as a substitute for the one which the
Senate has refused to ratify.
President Wilson's request that the
Colombian matter be settled will re-
eeiVe immediate consideration. As
the treaty now stands, Senate repub-
licans refuse to ratify II because It
expresses regret for the manner in
which the Roosevelt administration
acquired land for canal rights.
There has been some hitch also
over the amount of money to be paid.
