have been held during the recent
world war.
In the year 1873. Amhroiae Pare, a
famous French surgeon, wrote. God
Is my witness, and men are not ig-
norant of 1t, that have labored more
than forty years to throw light on
the art OF surgery and bring it to
perfection. And In this labor. /
have striyen SO hard to attain my
end. that the ancients have naught
wherein to excel US. save the discov-
cry OF first principles: and posterity
will not be able to surpass US (be Il
said without malice or offence) save
by some additions. such as are easily
made to things already discovered"
AS viewed by this modest author,
all the problems Of surgery had been
solved. SO far as they were capable of
solution by the human mind in the
18th century. but In spite OF ad-
vances which we properly consider
are more than additions. such as are
easily made to things already dts
covered" we do not feel that this at
titude is permissible even now. As
In every other field OF human en-.
deavor. this attitude Of complacent
self -sufficiency is fatal to progress In
medicine.
There are still many problems I'M
solved. and pertinent example is Of
fered In our recent epid, . of the
so-called Spanish influenza. IN spite
of the labors of the best minds of our
profession with every facility of mod
ern science for the pursuit OF the in
gard to medicine, their information Is
disease Is still far from complete. and
is comparable to the Irishman's views
on smallpox.
In addressing an audience such as
you. | think that something might
be said concerning our lack of bust
ness methods. AS a business the
profession of medicine is amenable
to the requirements exacted from all
who would succeed In any business
and the discipline which is imposed
upon them. To the largest number
or us physicians our profession is a
trade whereby we make our liveli-
hood Few of us are actuated ex-
clusively by mere love OF wisdom or
mere love of man. These are Incl
dentals.
We confess to ignorance and gull
hility in business matters. In the
strong boxes of many doctors, mute
evidence OF a faith in the business
representative who visited them Is
presented by beautifully iithographed
tons in Central America; oil wells
and silver mines in Mexico orange
groves In Florida: and sugar planta.
tons in the Hawaiian Islands. AS a
profession. we feel much comp,t-
mented by the singular distinction
that has been paid us. and our con-
ndence In the business men who ex-
plot these projects leads us to an
ticipate confidently the day when the
dividends Will enable us to live In
ease and affluence
As ignorant as medical men are OF
ordinary business matters, we can
sometimes obtain consolation by OBJ.
serving an even more colossal ignor.
ance OF layment in regard to medica,
matters. This same audience is very
intelligent with respect to many sub.
Jects: commerce. mechanics. manu-.
factures. politics. etc, but with re.

1t is probably best that medica
men do not. as rule. cultivate thei,

THE EUROPEAN EMBARGoEs.

Of the largest outlets for the general
run OF American exports at a lime
when American industries must have
the broadcast possible field.
Again, a calm consideration of the
q tuation in both Great Britain and
\ rance emphasizes the Inconsistency
OF any undue objection on the Part
of the American government or
American industry to the import pro-
gra ms which those countries have de-
cidt d upon or have in contemplation.
Bot, countries, and particularly
Grea t Britain, have probably been
carr1 ing out their trade demdhiliza-
ton too rapidly. taking into consid-
eratis n the drains OF the war and the
confm sion into which Its sud den term
inatioll threw their fndu strial and
CONNIE rcial machinery. Certain tn
dustrias have been unable to return
to peace work from the war work on
which they had been altogether or
largely Engaged with the facility that
had bean expected. The situation
has been further and more recently
com pliesatei by threatening labor

FIRST CENTENARY.
OF STEAMSHIP TO
CROSS ATLANTIC
Celebration Will Be Held at
Savannah, Ga, On
May %

SAVANNAH, Ca, March The
centennial anniversary Of trans-At-
lantie steam navigation will be cele-
brated here on May. 22, the date when
the Savannah, the first ship to cross
the Atlantic propelled by. steam and
the forerunner of the great ocean
greyhounds of today, sailed from this
port for Liverpool on her historic
voyage. IS.
The Savannah was built at. New
York city and was launched on. Aug.
%, 1918. She was mastered by the
two Rogers--Captain Moses Rogers
being the commander, and Captain
Stevens Rogers, the sailing master.
The vessel left New York city March
e, 1919, and arrived in this city fo1
the first time on April IL, 1919.
On May %, 1919, the trip across
the Atlantic was started from this
port. Everything went well until
June II, when the vessel was stopped
by the British cutter Kite, whose com
mander thought the Savannah was ON
fire and stopped her to assist in. fighs-
ing the flames.
The vessel was stopped outside
Liverpool by an English sloop of war,
whose commander wished the Amer
lean vessel to display the British col
ors above it's own. Captain Rogers
refused and threatened the British Of
ficer with boiling water bath If he
did not leave the ship. He immedi-
ately left.
! The Savannah docked in Liverpool
on June 20, after completing the voy-
age in 90 days and IL hours The
engines were used only 18 days on the
trip.
The entrance of the Savannah un-
der full steam caused excitement in
Liverpool and while the vessel re-
manned in port it was the center of
interest. The Savannah then pro-
ceeded to Stockholm and on Septenn-
Der Is, arrived at st. Petersburg,
fnow Petrograd) where she was in
spected by the American and foreign
ministers and the nobility.

IS KEPT FROM PEOPLE

tion Against Future -Hunnish

& President Wilson's widely hefaided
Boston speech was a keen disappoint-
ment to those who hoped for ,enligRt-
enment respecting the character and
purposes OF the League of Nations.
It was demagogic to a degree, and
in several instances it displayed "a
.woeful want of tact. s i,
He had just returned from q: con-
ference from which he said he had
received very happy Impressions"
Two of the central figures at that
conference were Lloyd George and
Clemenceau, both of whom had, just
previous to the opening of the con-
ference, been accorded votes of high
confidence by the countries which
they represent. Yet in two instances
Mr.. Wilson made use of language
which may be considered in dispar-
agement of those two leaders of
Europe, first when he said: And in
the midst of it all every interest seeks
out first of all, when it reaches Paris,
the representatives of the United
States. Why? Because, and + think
I am stating the most wonderful fact
in history because there is nasnation
in Europe that suspects the motives
of; the United States" the inference
remaining that the. motives of other
parties to the conference are. not
without suspicion; and, second, in re-
ferring to the allied armies: when
ever it is desired to send small
force of soldiers to occupy a piece
of territory where it is thought mo-
body else will be welcome, they ask
for American soldiers. And where
other soldiers would be looked upon
with suspicion, and perhaps metswith
resistance, the American soldier is
welcomed with acclaim" Es-,
OF the nations of the world, which
must include those of which George
and Clemenceau are the premiers, he
said they shave set their heads now to
do a great thing and they are not go
ing to slacken their purpose. And
when l speak of the nations {of the
world l do not speak Of the govern
ments of the world. I speak of the
peoples who constitute the nations Of
the world. They are in the saddle
and they are going to see to it thatsif

Savannah on November 30, after ar.
absence of 1872 days.
This was the first and last trip of
the Savannah across the Atlantic.
Afterward her engines were removed
and she was used as a sailing vessel
between New York and Savannah.
She was wrecked off Long Island in
