name of Haimhausen was so closely associated

doubly so.
But during the peace negotiations Hahn
hansen was one of the leading German dele

the American delegation had let it be known
that it could not tolerate Won Bernstorh as a
German delegate and that Haimhausen was ac-

feeling against him was not so strong as

HEREDITARY SYPHILIS.

Formerly it was beIie-ed that a
syphilitic child might be born of a
healthy mother, the disease being
inherited from The syphilitic faith
err
Today it is generally understood
that a syphilitic father does not
transmit syphilis directly to a
child. but is responsible only be-
cause he has injected the mother
with the disease-as demonstrate
ed by a test of the mothers blood
although the mother may be ap-
parently quite healthy. Still, a
mother may have syphilis in a late
stage, and, after considerable treat
ment, bear a perfectly healthy
child. 1t is in the period of three
or four years following her infec-
ton, the period when the disease
is still most infectious, that the
syphilitic woman is likely to bear
children with hereditary syphilis.
But the syphilitic woman is still
more likely to miscarry.
Vigorous treatment of the syph-
llitic expectant mother may enable
her to bear a normal child.
A child born with syphilis may
appear robust and healthy at first,
but is likely to be or to become
presently thin, flabby and wasted
with the face of an old man, weaz-
ened, pinched, eyes bleary, nose
snuffing, the cry rather a feeble
squawk, the abdomen often dis
tended and slight skin eruptions
about the mouth and buttocks un-
like simple skin troubles common
ly seen in healthy babies. This pic
ture should be clearly distinguish
ed from the picture of the poorly
nourished Skinny, child with
eczema-usually due to faulty diet.
In many cases hereditary syph-
ills does not manifest itself until
the child is several years old, al
though the child is not as well
developed as a normal Cnild. Thus
there may be a forward bowling of
the shin bones mot a sideways
bowling, as in ricketts, from dead
food or various other deformities
or alterations in the development
of the bones and the cutting and
regularity of the permanent teeth.
1t must be remembered, however,
that such abnormalities are ten
times more likely to be due TO
mere faults of nutrition or hygiene
than to syphilis.
We have no proof that syphilis is
ever transmitted to the third gen
Grafton, and indeed, there is little
reason to assume that such thing
ever occurs. The offspring of a

A Time for Watchful Waiting.

Much to the disappointment of the public
generally, negotiations between the Central
Union Telephone company AND its striking en-
ployes, linemen and operators, came to an
abrupt ending without the adjustment that was
anticipated. The company did not make a
proposition to the employees that was as fair as
was expected-they rejected it, and so the sit
uation rests.
1t would seem that the time has arrived
when the public should sit steady in the boat
Patrons of the telephone service have been in
convenienced for several weeks in the loss of
service, and they can stand it a few weeks long
er. if necessary.
ANY move from the outside, to relieve the
situation might precipitate a condition that
would be most undesirable. There are those
who favor an appeal to the public utilities
commission. The Argus has no hesitancy in
saying that for its own part it would look for
no good results from such a procedure. In
fact, surely it would not lessen complications.
1t might make them much worse.
The company bunglkd in the outset in deal
ing with its employees and has shown anything
but fair attitude in declining to arbitrate.
The best that can be done just now, is to
wait.

left the place. Edna followed him
with her eyes. She confessed to a
slight pang of jealousy as Richards
met a fiashy, bold-faced girl of her
own age who had been of late quite
a frequent visitor to the Office. On
several of these occasions Miss

her fancied beauty and fascina-

She went up to her room and re-

Just as she was ready to start for

The complaint OF the actress against too

laby will find a plaintive echo in the breasts
of several million persons.
There is a time when music had undoubted
charms; against music itself there is no valid
objection, although one has ever yet ex-
planned what induces a man to take up the
study of the bass drum. But it is a grave
question whether we have not been Overpro-
grammed. Life may be a song, but if the song
is in syncopated time, instead of the gentler
melody mother used to make. the song may
fall fat on the ear. Even the sweetest of

is generally conceded that "A hours of music
in a day is too much
1t is no reflection on our natural gay-heart-
edness if we protest that there is something
really inspiring in silence. and that music is
much more delightful when it can be contrasted
with nonmusicaI moments.
As for the musical hiccoughs for which the
modern publisher insists his public is waiting,
parched and gasping, that is easily explained
by the example of the innocent lad and his first
drink.

country While Americans know that Lodge

pect other people to dismiss his saber-rattling
IS merely one of the hypocritical eccentricities
Of the American system of government
The world has right to demand that the
United States senate, being clothed with the
authority to ratify treaties, shall be a respon-
sible body and shall not prostitute its power
in foreign affairs to ignoble partisan uses.
The course that Senator Lodge and ma
jority of the committee have charted is one of
complete responsibility. Nothing matters to
them except the defeat of the president, and
no disaster of which the human imagination
can conceive is too heavy price to pay for
that. Junkertum in Berlin is bad enough, but
