WOMEN SURGEONS
T THE FACT that the war hospitals in Europ

 women surgeons is received with surprise in quarters where thoughuness might be expected The surprise not because the capacity of has been ary recog nized, but because women have the capacity.
 little bit of thought would have shown these critics that ought to make good surgeons There are why they should be better surgeons.
 Three main elements contributing to good surgery. The surgeon should have complete knowledge of anatomy He should have the ness not to be in the presence pain and boodshed and he should have the manual dexey necessary to wied the knife with delcacy and precision
 These qualifications in which women in the average ought to excel Learning anatomy does not require na thought but only careful attention to what has been dis covered The graduating class of any high school proves the moral superiority of in pursuits where industry and perseverance required.
 As cooness in the presence of pain and booshed nearly always experienced and hence cooler Women the They have been the from i'm memorial days They accustomed pain they bear it better they know better what it is.
 As for manual dexterty class superior to class. Women have used their hands and their fingers and have acquired dextety through countless aons while have been employed in comparatively pursuits

SIR WILLIAM ROBERTSON.

SlR WILLIAM ROBERTSON.
 Thirty years ago a Tommy Atkins in the. ranks, General Sir William Robertson has since risen to a point where he is all but supreme over the armies of Great Britain. As chief of the imperial staff, a position he has held since January, 1916, Sir William is practically commander in chief of the military forces of the empire. The general belief that a commoner of humble birth cannot rise from the ranks to high estate in the British army is thoroughly disproved by the career of Robertson. The only "pull' he has ever had was that of sheer merit and ability. In England it is told, and generally believed, that Sir William spent his boyhood in service, and that his first uniform was that of a footman. At any rate we find him in 1877, at the age of seventeen, wear ing the uniform of private soldier in the Sixteenth Lancers. There he re- mained, as Tommy Atkins" and non commissioned officer, until 1888, when he passed his exams with flying col ors and received his commission as a lieutenant of the Third Dragoon Guards. Before entering the army he had received the rudiments of an education, but that was all. For the next decade he spent nearly all of his pay for books, and when he was at last admitted to the select circle of the officers mess he had a depth and width of learning which made many of the college bred men ignorant in comparison. During his long service in India he devoted much time to the study of the various tongues and dia- lects of the natives, and thus made himself invaluable to his superior of ficers. In actual warfare he gained wounds and medals and a reputation forability and bravery which made his promotion inebitable.

REAPING THE HARVEST.

The Republican National Commit tee is reaping harvest of complaints, if not money, as a result of it's recent appeal for campaign fund of $1,500,- 900 with which to fight President Wilson's administration and his SUD- porters in Congress.
 Among those to whom the appeal for contributions was sent R. Fulton Cutting chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Bureau of Municipal Research of New York City. As a Republican and, as he says, a believer 'in the maintenance of vigorous party opposition" MT. Cutting sent g check to the Republican organiza- tion, but not without protest.
 The New York Times quotes MT. Cuttings letter to the Republican managers.
 'cLet me say frankly" he wrote, 'that in general both your letter and the printed statement which accom- panies it appeal to me in a very linn ited degree. Both these papers are indefinite, gaseous, and illusory. The old spacious language that has char acterized so many rhetorical party appeals is very much in evidence.
 'The allusion to the necessity of adopting Republican principles for the industrial construction that is to take place after the war means, suppose, a return to the provisions of the Aldrich-Payne tariff act, but the phrasing is sufficiently ambiguous to permit of any amount of lodging. What do you really mean by 'extrava- gant methods must be eliminated and the conduct of the war brought down from tl4e visionary uncertainty to sound economic basis? How do you expect to accomplish this? That is what we want to know. Tell us plainly the measures that must be adopted to attain this end.
 What we want is a positive, con- crete program of constructive states manship. A policy that admits of no ambiguity and can be stated in lan- guage so lucid that there can be no mistake about its meaning. Your proposition is negative and wholly lacking in inspiration"

AMERICAN ADNuRALs.

The first officer of the United States navy to hold the rank of admiral was David G. Farragut, who was elevated to that position just 52 years ago to- day, July 25, 1866. as a reward for his services in the civil war. Prior to the conflict between the North and South the highest rank in the United States naval service was that of com modore. In 1862 Congress conferred upon Farragut the rank of rear-ad- miral, in 1864 that of vice-admiral, and in 1866 he was made a full f1edged admiral. Farragut died in 1870, and the title of admiral was then conferred upon David D. Porter, who held that rank until his death in 1881. The title was then abolished and not revived until it was conferred upon George Dewey in 1899.

LIVES INSURED
 FOR 50 BILLIONS
Aggregate in U. S. Is I.arg- est on Record For Any
 Country.

New York, July 25-American life insurance companies are carving an aggregate of risks estimated as in ex- cess of $6o,00O, 900, 900, the largest of record for any country. War &C., counts for the increasing bulk of in- surance.
 In a review of the business for l9l7, prepared for yesterdays issue ot the Insurance Press, it appears that at the end of last year the old line companies carried risks amount ing to $27,5o0, ,o0O,00 the fraternal orders carried about $10, 0,000, 900 900 and the government insurance for sol diers and sailors amounted to $22,- 0O0,0o0,000 or more.
 Computations which omit full re- turns of payments made by Ameri- can companies in foreign countries show that insurance organizations of the United States and Canada dis tr1outed on claims in 1917, $499,4O0,- OOO and on payments for premium savings and surrender values and to annuitants $27s, ,90o,Oo0. making a total of SITS. 8.300,0Oo paid out in claims and benefits.
 Demand for insurance on account of taxation applies with special force to inheritance taxes. The newspa- pers have reported the intention of the government to seize the $40,0o0,- 900 properties of one of the largest farm estates for the non-payment of Federal inheritance taxes amounting to $6,000 900. This estate, like many others, did not have enough cash to pay the tax and carry on mainten- ance costs. It was reported that the George W. Vanderbilt estate was so depleted by inheritance tax pay ments that the executors found t necessary to cut down specific be- quests. Many large estates are said to have found it expedient to go heav- fly into insurance for their protection against taxes.
 Reports of companies representing 90 per cent. of the life insurance bus mess show large reduction of pay ments for lapsed, surrendered and purchased policies, policy holders hay ing been more tenacious of their poli- cies in 1917 than in any previous year. These companies distributed in premium savings or dividends near ly $11, 100000 more than in 1916, a- increase of about 10 per cent. There was an uncommonly low mortality rate in 1917 in this country while Great Britain reported increas- ed mortality among civilians, attribut- ed to worry, disturbance in regular living and general stress.
 The largest payment on a single life in 1917 was s843,5oO, to the es. tate of Frederick R. Hazard of Syra. cuse.
 In 1917 women became large buy CTS of insurance, as well as men.

NEWSP APERMAN MAKES CAPTURE
 OF MOONSH|NER
John F. Moran, Formerly With Times Earns Praise
 at Camp Devens.

John F. Moran, formerly a Bridge port newspaperman and policeman now one of the provost guard at Camp Devens, Mass, with Stephen Maho- ney, also of Bridgeport, and two oth- CTS, have made one of the most i'm portant arrests of the year by cap turing Tony Publico, known along the New Hampshire border as Irony of an illicit still in the wilds of the mountains north of Fitchburg.
 The moonshiner was taken red handed by Moran and his companion at the muzzles of revolvers and marched into F4tchburg where he is now being held for the federal court at Boston for manufacturing liquor and selling the product to both civil ians and soldiers without a license.
 Although an illicit still was known to exist in the mountains for some time past, it's location was a mystery to the local authorities. Soldiers were getting hold of so much raw liquor the military authorities felt it neces- sary to stamp out the trade.
 Moran, Mahoney, Devine and Browne, all of the provost guard, were assigned to the task of hunting down and arresting the moonshiner and his gang. After some days of scouting and trailing the quartet finally located the still concealed in a cave far back in the loneliest spot of the mountain range.
 Lying in the underbrush for more than a day the provost men waited their opportunity and when every thing was ready Moran gave the sig nal to close in. They caught the bootlegging moonshiner redhanded as he was making new batch of corn juice. He showed symptoms of a fight but was soon cowed by the sight of four automatic army guns levelled at him and his hands went above his head.
 It was some job getting the prisoner and his outfit into Fitchburg, but they finally landed the prisoner and evil dence in the city Jail, and the quartet of army sleuths are now getting high praise for their clever work from city, county, state and federal authorities.
 Needless to say the army heads are more than pleased with the work of the provost men and they are surely slated for promotion. Moran left Bridgeport but three months ago and before leaving had earned quite a reputation as being one of Assistant Superintendent Suckleys military squad. He was instrumental in rounding up large number of slack CTS and deserters and it was in recog- nition of this big service to the gov ernment that he was given the ap- pointment on the staff of the provost marshal.

TODAY's ANNIVERSARY.

The first macadam road ever con- structed was officially tested and ap- proved in Scotland 10S years ago to- day. The inventor of this system of road building was John Loudon Macadam, a native of Ayr, Scotland, where he was born in 1756. He went to New York in TITO, entered his uncle's counting house and became a successful merchant. In 1783 he re- turned to Scotland and purchased 2 handsome estate. In 1910 he began his experiments in highway construc- ton which have made his name i'm mortal. His preliminary of ina cadamizing" were so successful that in 1916 he was appointed surveyor to the Bristol Turnpike Trust, and re- made the roads there cheaply and well. Macadam died in Scotland in 1896. He had declined knight hood.
