OPPOSED TO GOVERNMENT
OPERATiQN OF SHIPS

New York. March 4-Opposition to
government operation of ships was ex-
pressed by J. H. Rosseter. director OF
operations Of the United States ship
ping board in a speech at luncheon
of the American Manufacturers Ex-
port association here today.
Il believe it to be impracticable and
prejudicial insofar as it concerns rail-
roads" Mr.. Rosseter said of govern
ment ownership. LAS to ships, it is
utterly impossible"
Mr.. Rosseter declared American
shipping interests could build and op-
crate ships successfully in competi-
ton with any other nation regardless
of the high wages paid to American
seamen and shipyard employees. This
high cost of creating American ship
ping could be more than balanced by
operating, vessels with oil fuel, he said.

the soldier picked up one, inspected
it minutely, wiping the edge of ii

as if in letters of fire were the print
ed words: MADE in Germany"
"I thought, Made in Germany
was pas bon in France" he said to
the storekeeper.
Eat is So" interrupted the
Frenchman suavely, but we buy zem
before the war"
The doughboy threw the harmoni-
ca on the counter and sauntered out.
That is the right spirit" said the
correspondent, "one should not trade
with the enemy before peace is
signed"
Right spirit, nothing" replied the
doughboy, this bird wanted four
dollars for the harmonica which he
admits he bought before the war.
They were worth fifty cents then"

DECLARES JTJRES
SHOULD NOT ACT
IN INSANITY CASES
DR.. Mcdonald Points Out Why
Thaw Case Dragged
Along

Philadelphia, June 21.-Sanity of
prisoners should not be determined
by juries in the opinion of DR.. c. +.
Macdonald, New York, who spoke
here yesterday before the conven-
ton of the American Medico-
Psychological Association. He sug-
gesed that juries in murder cases
where the question of sanity is
raised, should merely pass upon the
facts as to whether a prisoner did
or did not commit the crime
charged. II a verdict of guilty is
rendered, he said, board of quail
fed alienists should then determine
the sanity plea" aspect of the case
and report to the court which would
then be in a position to decide what
sentence should be imposed.
The Harry K. Thaw case could
have been disposed of in a few
hours if this method had been fol-
lowed" DR.. Macdonald said.
The association went on record in
advocating that experts engaged in
fifty or more laboratories connected
with the association throughout the
country apply themselves as much
as possible to research work on in
fluenza and all other affections of
the respiratory tract.

President Wilson to

on the Peace Treaty
BIZ Associated Press.

Paris. June 21.-It is authorita-
lively stated that President Wilson
intends to defer any action relative
to American participation in the
League of Nations until the Senate
has ratified or rejected the Peace
Treaty and the American position
has been definitely established con-
corning the league.
Such work as is being done on the
league is wholly testative so far as
the United States is concerned, and,
while there is every hope and ex-
pectation that the covenant will be
ratified as part of the Treaty, it is
said authoritatively that there is no
purpose to anticipate this result or
in any way commit the country to
ratification.
