Special Correspondence
SYRACUSE, April 5.-Tea and coffee
as national beverages in the United
States must go, according to state
ment issued to-day by Professor Fred
erick NJ Roman, Of Syracuse Univer-
sity, leader of the nation wide cam
paign against tobacco.
AS soon as harmless, palatable sub
stitute can be found, said Professor
Roman, the fight TO Danish from Amer
lean shores the products of Java, Cey-
Ion and Brazil viii be renewed vigor-
ously by the forces aligned against the
liquor and tobacco habits, which view
the widespread drinking of tea and
coffee as a dangerous economic prob
lem. Professor Roman regards the
anti tea and coffee campaign as an as
sured movement of the future.
ultimately" said Mr. Roman to-
day, 1--WE will stage anti-tea and coffee
campaigns. Both must go. 1t is not
a laughing matter by any means, as
some seem to think, but a real seri-
Gus economic problem. The only rea-
son no great headWay has been made
in the fight against tea and coffee
is that no substitute has been found
for either. Just as soon as good
palatable hot drink is found the days
of tea and coffee as national bever-
ages are numbered. None of the sub
stitutes so far offered is suitable"
Big business in America is behind
the efforts of the propagandists in
their fight against habit-formne
drinks and drugs, said Professor Ro-
man, and all the financial backing
needed for the anti-tobacco campaign
now in hand has been secured
Professor Roman refused to identify
the business interests backing the
movement, on the ground that the def
mite campaign plans have not yet been
formulated, and at present it would be
unwise to announce the names Of
those giving financial assistance. He
said, however, that the John Wanna
maker Company, Marshall Fields, the
Henry Ford Company and the Ma
tional City Bank of New York are all
interested. | am not saying just what
concerns are backing our movements

its best so far as it can to govern
justly and fairly during that period.
Cooperation Urged
"And I conlude the observations /
have been making to you with an ex-
preston to you of my deepest graft
tude, to you of the bench and bar who
of me-that is, of my country-this
evening, for all that you and Americans
have done during the war, for all that
| believe we shall accomplish together
in the future, for all that Pm satisfied
can be done, will be done, must be done
by the English-s speaking peoples Of the
world.
Lord Reading joined in the general
contribution of jests concerning the
conflicting reports coming from the
peace conference in France. He told
of the various suggestions that he
found in the newspapers concerning
the probable terms of the world cove
nant, but insisted that he could not
utter definite opinion as to the posi-
Bile worth of these suggestions.
81 am discussing them here rather
to get myself in the habit of weighing
evidence once more than to reach any
decision on the subject" he said.
Root Explains Covenant
Elihu Root, who preceded Lord Read
ing, gave as his Interpretation Of the
purposes of the promised league of
nations these two objects:
"First, to continue garnering the
fruits of the great war and the recon-
struction of Europe and the near East,
necessary to the establishment of
peace, bringing about that virtual al
lance with treaty, but based upon a
common purpose that has been in eX-
istcnce for the two years that just
have passed.
"Second, to continue far into the
future, the civilized nations that love
peace and abhor war, for the purpose
of preserving the peace of the world.
There has been much discussion OF
it here which you have doubtless OBJ
served, but | beg to say to you, my
lord, that it is the earnest hope of the
American people that in due form and
by wise and suitable provision the
country which you represent and our
own may unite for effective and per-
peace of the world for all the centuries
to come.
Closer Ties Urged
"Toward that alliance, for the en-
thronement Of public right to control
the world, | believe the American bar,
with all its traditions of justice and
liberty, stands with you and stands
with all the Allies by whose side we
have fought. We would not permit
the American boys who died upon the
fields of Flanders by the side of the
young men of England, fighting against
common foe, to have wasted their
lives.
"And the same sense of loyalty that
kept them side by side, charging against
death, must keep our countries together
to make certain the fruits of their
victories"

this department from abroad is abso-
lutely confidential. For instance, the
overseas trade department, to which
we are nominalIy attached, is given
definite Instructions that this depart

any request for information based on

officially Monday by Acting Secretary
of the Navy Roosevelt when he is in
New York, it was announced to-day.
The plan is to designate Lieutenant
Commander Harold ". Scotield, aid
for aviation to Admiral Usher, COM
mandant Of the Third Naval District, as
the navy's special representative to
serve as liaison officer between the
press and officials OF the transatlantic
flight section Of the department at the
Rockaway Beach naval air station.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt will in
struct CAPTAIN Stanley V. Parker, com
mandant of the air station, to keep
Scofeld informed when tests of the
seaplanos are to be made and when
other details of the proposed fight are
ready for publication.
Daily conferences by newspaper men
with the officers of the naval air sta
ton, held by the Secretary of the
Navy and press representatives here,
arc to be authorized by Secretary
Roosevelt in his efforts to keep the
public informed on the enterprise of
the navy in attempting the cross
Atlantic flight.
Permission likewise is to be extended
to newspaper photographers and mo
ton picture companies to photograph
the planes which are to be used in the
flight to Europe:
SO many conflicting stories of the
proposed fight have appeared since the
original announcement of the navy's
determination to attempt aerial navi-
cation of the Atlantic that Secretary
Roosevelt reached the conclusion to-
day that tho official stamp of approval
should be given to news of the forth
coming flight.

No Stamps To Be Sold
For Pts Per Cent Beer

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Revenue
stamps for beer containing 2.75 per
cent of alcohol will not be sold by rev.
enue collectors pending receipt of an
opinion from Attorney General Palmer
as to whether the government should
permit the brewing of such beer, con-
siderng it near-beer which NAV be
manufactured under Presidential
proclamation. Mr.. Palmer's opinion is
expected soon by Internal Revenue
Commissioner Roper.
The Revenue Bureaus attitude is
that it cannot afford to accept tax on
the Pts per cent product which it con-
sders at present of doubtful legality.
Officials said the question had not been
presented formally to them, although
protests had been received from brew
ers at Syracuse, N. Y, that the revenue
collector there had refused to sell
stamps for such beer.
The collectors action had not been
officially recorded here. The brewers
were told the bureau had reached no
final decision.

The Nleuw Amsterdam arrived here
Friday and landed mails and passen-
gers, including mail and passengers for
France. The agents OF the liner here
have given out no statement. No one
was allowed on board the steamship.
At the time the vessel sailed from
New York it was said that on its arri-
val here it would be boarded by Brit
ish and French secret agents, who
would watch Won Eckhardt and the
other German voyagers until the liner
left for Rotterdam.

the event Of an American bidding for

it might be possible that his price

"There is no possibility whatsoever"
was the reply.
When shown the above statement
from the officials of the department the
American authority who made the allie

Precautions First

"When the first liaison was estab-
lished between ourselves and the
United States" they told me, "the ques-
ton was raised by American officials.
We were able to satisfy them that
under no conditions could American
business secrets become the property
of their British competitors. Since
then representatives on the American
War Trade Board have worked con-
stantly in touch with this department
and have had no occasion whatever for
complaint.
ave have taken all the more pains
TO prevent any reason for complaint,
because we are aware that the British
trader is under exactly similar misap-
prehension when he is cabling to New
York. In this similar mood he COM
plains to the American authorities that
his business secrets are getting into
the possession of his American COM
petitors."

EASE DETACHMENT BOYS
BRING PATIENTS RELATIVES

Private William Krause was in a
critical condition. For nine months
this soldier had been d patient at the
Base Hospital and on 3 different oc-
casiOnS he was wheeled to the Surgery
to be operated on for cancer. On
Monday last it seemed that he had
very little chance for recovery. The
boys of the Hospital Detachment had
heard Of krause's condition and were
deeply chagrined at the course the
disease was taking. But what to do.
The patient is ar orphan. An aunt
lives out near Pittsburg, Pa, but she
writes that she cannot come. She has
no money and though she has tried
to borrow from the neighbors, it is
without avail. Meanwhile Private
Krause is getting worse and is asking
that something be done TO bring his
aunt down to see him. Pvt. Jonker of
the Base Detachment had been in
a number Of times to see Krause and
suggested to him that the boys of the
Base will see her down no matter
what happens. The Red Cross wa!
appealed to but there was no time tt
investigate. eve need the money,
said Jonkcr, and if we wait too Ions
the patient will be decad before sh
comes. If she comes quick enough tn
boy may IdllS anu pun liiI ouSh.
That night after 8 o'clock hurric
subscription was taken and in les
time than it takes to count $500 tha
sum was collected from the eniste
personnel and the next morning tn
aunt in Pittsburg had received enong
by telegraph to come down on Pull
man and have plenty extra none
to take care of herself on the tri
down. She arrived. Krause is tn
happiest among all the bed-ridden lad
at the Base, and grateful too.
Saturday noon at dinner, Hospits
Sergeant harrington announced tha

the $50 fund But it took only
seconds to learn the concensus {

unanimously in favor of doing the
job themselves. And Sgt. Darlington
said Garry on"
Not much romance in the work to
be done in the wards of the Base
Hospital. The boys over here know
very little Of the hero stuff All they
know is hard work. And it's hard,
too. When the civilian goes to his
work in the morning the chances are
that he is doing what he has chosen
for his life work and 1t has a fasci-
nation for him. Not so the boys at
the Hospital. They were called from
farm and factory to do work that
was strenuous and oftentimes eN-
tremcly disagreeable. But it had to
be done and somebody had to do it.
Some of these boys have been at the
Base Hospital since August 18th, 1917.
They never saw foreign service but
through all the epidem. IS and hard
ships Of every kind tfcy stuck to
their posts and when .ney go back
home they'll still be wearing silver
stripes instead of gold.

in an airplane accident the news

the event. The air service is natu-

it is fraught with danger, neverthe-
less it has never had to urge men to

the loss over the whole country
