INCREASE IN NARCOTICS.
Federal officials Will Ask for Interna-
tional Regulations.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Alalmed
over the increased use of narcotic drugs
III the United States and the inability of
the government TO control their distri-
button, federal officials will urge the Amer
ican delegation at the peace conference
to ask for international agreements to
aid in enforcing anti-narcotic laws
1t has been found by a special commit
tee, appointed by former secretary of
the treasury that per capita five times as
many people in America as in China used
narcotic drugs. With the spread OF pro-
hibition, the number OF addicts is rapidly
increasing.
In his annual report Danied c. Roper,
commissioner of internal revenue, said:
Evidence Of the increasing prevalence
of narcotic addicts in the United States,
together with difficulties encountered by
the bureau in administering the law, led
the secretary Of the treasury in April
1918, to appoint a representative commit
tee of five members to cooperate with
the bureau in making thorough study
of narcotic problems, with a view tc
recommending needful changes in the ad
illustrative provisions of the law and
such other remedial measures as might
| be found necessary for the more effective
control of the traffic The findings anC
recommendations of the committee vii
be embodied in a special report at al
early date"
| Mr. hopper asserted that ''comprehen
sive and effective administration of tn
narcotic laws must be based upon an in

Where Does the Blood Hide7 Question
Still Unanswered.

''Where does the blood hide?s is still
question to which science must adj
dress self in spite of the many myster-
les war surgery has solved. In cases of
shock the blood leaves the heart and
disappears somewhere within the body
Where, no one can say, and discussion
of the subject by Lieut.. Col. Walter B.
Cannon, eminent Harvard Psychologist,
forms one of the high lights of Emily
Robbins article on "Shock,o in the
April number of the Red Cross Maya
zine.
.'The disappearing blood in cases of
shock" declares Lieut.. Col. Cannon
who has been conducting Investigations
in the United States army laboratory
for surgical research in France, twas
formerly supposed to be stagnating in
the Very capacious veins of the abdo-
men, and to be thus drawn out of gen
eral circulation. But during the war
our surgeons have had to operate in
| hundreds of cases of shocked men and
when the abdomen was operated they
have found no evidence of the lost
blood in that region.
If the blood is not in the large YES
sells, where is it? We do not yet know
| the full facts about where it is hiding
| and the question is one of the most
difficult of the problems confronting
us
it is the disappearance of the blood
that causes the fall in blood pressure
that often brings death.

VOTERS m FAVOR.
Continued from Page IL

as he did not address the chairman the
motion was put and was carried by an
overwhelming vote.
When a motion on article 2 was
called for, which was "To see if the
town will vote to authorize the select
men to widen Main street northerly of
High street." Mr.. Clapp was still on
his feet He regretted that the article
was dismissed, as all the articles were
linked together, and he felt he was not
given fair opportunity to speak in
favor of it. He thought the action
would hinder the development of the
town, and in extended remarks he gave
various measurements showing dis
tances bearing on the question and cit
ed several instances whore property in
town had been taken or given for pub
lie improvements.
/ Il. c. Crosby then stated that he
questioned the wisdom of the action
taken. He said that back in 1869, when
the west side of Main street was burned
over, his father, Edward Crosby,
bought the Crosby block site and
George J Brooks the Brooks House site.
Before building they decided that flu
ture developments would demand a
Hiuef street, 50 stHey gave tHe to"H
the use of six or eight feet of land
from Elliot street to High street, which
is the sidewalk in front of those prop
critics.
i Mr.. Crosby said that if Main street
north of High street ever was to be
widened the owners of the land on the
west side should come forward and
give the necessary land if the towr
would set the sidewalk back. He sait
eight feet in the rear of the lots in
question could be bought at reason
able price and would allow setting tht
buildings back from their proposed 10
cation
Mr.. Holden agreed with Mr.. Crosby
and introduced the resolution quoted
above, which was adopted by a larg'
majority.
Under article 3, which was to Sc,
whether the town would provide tn
necessary funds to carry out any al
terations in Main street north of Higl
street, it was voted to appropriate $50
G to carry out the provisions of the resc
: luton.
The meeting was then adjourned.

LONDON, April 23.-The American
army and navy court of inquiry into

March 8 last interpreted the affair as
an unimportant melee which did not
affect the relations between the Brit

In it's report made public yesterday
the court RETAINED from attempting to
place any blame and confined its rec
concentrations to one-that one Ameri-

II And the Angel OF the Lord

any thing unto him: for now 1 know
that thou fearest God, seeing thou
