drugs.
Court Decisions Help.
Recent decisions by the United
States Supreme court have helped the
bureau by defining its power clearly.
The recent decision in the case Of Bas-
com c. Thompson is the first to ex-
pound the legal rights of a physician
in prescribing drugs. 1t declared a
physician cannot prescribe drugs sim
ply to relieve the cravings of an ad-
dict, and that prescriptions for that
purpose can be issued only on spe-
cial blank furnished by the commits
siOner of internal revenue.
The bureau has been hampered in
its pursuit Of illegitimate traffic In
drugs through the ignorance or In
difference Of the public to the extent
to which drug habits have grown and
the evils attendant thereon. Even In
medical circles there are still old
fashioned doctors who do not appre-
ciate the evils of the habit or the
ease with which ii is contracted.
The Harrison law has q moral OBJ
ject In view as well as the collection
been upheld by the Supreme court as
no invasion of the police powers of
the states, as ii Is revenue act. The
new regulations will emphasize the
necessity for physician to give his
personal attention to curing a patient
of the drug habit. Confinement for
the patient will be insisted upon, with
out which, in the opinion of leading
physicians, no patient can be cured
effectively.
Leave No Loopholes.
The regulations will be issued soop
Every effort will be made not to in
terfere with the recognized medical
necessity for the use of drugs, with
out at the same time leaving any loop
hole by which quacks or unscrupulous
physicians may dispense drugs purely
for the satisfaction Of addicts and for
gain to themselves.
Numerous cases have been brought
to the attention Of the bureau where
physicians have prescribed drugs in
alleged attempts to cure addicts, and
have dispensed them by mail or ex
press. This practice Is a violation OF
the spirit of the law and is only @
blind to cover illegltimate traffic.
The bureau intends to curb all &C
tivities which enable a physician tC
take undue advantage Of his licensed
power.

BY BARON JACQUES DE NEU-
FlIZE

OF the Banking Firm Of Neufiize & Co.
One of the topics of discussion all
over the world today is the question
Of the reconstruction of France. Her
record in 1871 might answer the ques-
tion.
In May, 1871, France signed with
the victorious Germans the treaty of
Frankfort, under which she surren-
dered Alsace-Lorraine. She obligated
demnity 500,0O0,000 francs within 80
days after the re-establshment of the
authority of the Versailles government
in Paris; 1,0OO,00O,000 in 1871, 5O0,-
100000 by May 1, 1872, and the last
3,00O000,000 by March 2, 1874.
On the other hand the evacuation
Of the French departments (Seine,
Seine ct Marne, Seine ct Disc, Oise)
by the German troops was only to
take place after payment Of the third
half-billon, and the German troops Of
occupation had the right of levying
acquisitions in the occupied depart
ments, and even outside Of these,
should the French government fail to
carry out the obligations undertaken
by them for their maintenance.
Situation In 1871.
The financial load imposed by the
war was extremely heavy. 1t was nee
essary to face the expenses incurred
during the war and to pay the billions
indemnity, Notwithstanding the losses
caused to agriculture, commerce, and
industry by the cessation Of work.
The losses In frarcs due to the war
were estimated as follows:
Indemnity payable to Ger
many ...'....'. .OlOoO,OOO,oO
Interest on this indemnity. 301, ,145,O7S
Cost of issuing the loans. 275,564, ,203

American Soldier Dead
Will Be Buried in u. S.

Three-fourths of the American
dead i'm France will find their
final resting place in American
soil. Answering an inquiry from
Senator Chamberlln as TO the
wishes Of relatives, General
Marsh, chief of staff, said it was
estimated that replies from rela-
tives thus far received showed
not more than 20 per cent who
expressed a preference that the
soldiers body remain permanent
ly In France.
With more than 100000 sol
dier dead of allied and enemy
countries buried in French soil,
General March said, that nation
was desirous of proceeding slow
ly with the task of exhuming
those that are to go to their
home lands. No date has yet
been set for beginning the re-
turn of American dead.
