WITNESSESTO
APPEAR TOMORROW

Mt. CLEMENS, Mich. May 25-
The first witness in Henry Ford's
million dollar libel suit against the
Chicago Tribune probably will be
placed on the stand tomorrow. The
jury has been instructed TO report
back Al that time.
Court was held two hours over the
usual hour OF adjournment yesterday
evening that attorneys might end
their arguments on the brief filed
by the plaintiff 10 limit evidence of
the defense.
Judge Tucker was determined that
this debate should not extend into
the third week Of tho trial and told
the attorneys that arguments on the
brief would end with the adjourn
ment of the days session. Both sides
agreed.
No decision vas rendered on the
brief by the judge. Possibly il will
not be forthcoming until the matter
~ brought UP at the trial. With the
taking Of evidence, the plaintiff can
offer objections on the manner in
which the defense offers its tcsti-
mOny, and this will bring the courts
decision.

NEWPORT NEWS, May 25.-Four

Of 80 boys recruited from Washing

For eleven months they were in
France. During that time they fought
side by side with both English and
French. During that time they en-
dured the hell of the death-cockpits
of Chateau Thierry, the Argonne and
st. Mihiel. Some of their officers were
killed; more of their nOn-coms, and
a terrible percentage of the men lin
the ranks" But. all the way through.
War Department records show, they
had to be held back. The signing Of
the armistice found them right up in
front, fighting as hard as at the be-
ginning.
Waiting To Go Home.
Since the armistice, until some ten
days ago, the remnants Of the 312th
have been marking time, awaiting the
orders sending them home. in Brest.
They sailed ten days ago.
They will be sent, probably within
the next forty-eight hours, to Camp
Meade, where they originally trained,
for muster out Of the service.
Some of the men limped, slightly, as
they came down the gangplank-old

s1zEup OF. THE STRIKE SITUATION.


To strictly impartial observer. it looks as
if the transfers and truck drivers strike in
Omaha were going the way Of former strikes
by the same unions. Whenever labor's demands
reach the point that success is sought by resort
to violence, public sympathy is antagonized and
forfeited. and without the support Of SYM
pathetic public, strike can not make much
Roadway.
In the present instance the labor leaders
have put their cause in bad light by assuming
to control the streets of the city, saying in eff
feet that they are not to be used for hauling ex-
cept under permission evidenced by "fsfr"
card issued from union headquarters. OF course
no community can concede the right to license
street traffic to any but the duly constituted
authorities, and if the strike hangs upon the en-
forcement of this card" system it is on pre-
carious ground.
As usual, too, grossly exaggerated claims
and conflicting statements are being made from
the two opposing sides, and the side claiming
the most is apparently exaggerating the most

slightly hampered here and there, is running

Where Medical Ethics Come In.

The point is now made, and made from the
very highest source of medical ethics, that it is
quite possible to overdo the new demand for
registration of all alleged transrnittabe or con-
tagious diseases. In the annual Grafton to the
Medical Society Of London Sir John Tweedy,
past president Of the Royal College of Surgeons
of England, talking on the subject of "The Med
ical Tradition" declared that while the air is
thick with projects of reconstruction, and which
lessen the responsibility OF the physician or,
hamper his intellectual activities would be det-
rimental to the authority and usefulness OF
medicine. He referred to the brilliant triumph
OF curative and preventive medicine in the war,
largely the result of scientific research, but gave
warning that the future of medicine must still
be determined by the ability, the personal
character and the moral endowments .of indi-
vdual practitioners rather than by schemes OF
professional reorganization" Continuing, he
declared:
While we have other names and other
forms of disease than the ancients and other
means of healing, medicine is always the
: same. Modern medicine is on surer and
more positive foundation than in the days OF
Hippocrates but the classification which he
gave Of the causation of disease and Of the
nature and significance of symptoms still hold
good. There is not, and can not be, absolute
gertrude in medicine. The most skillful ply
stefan can never be sure of curing his patient,
but he can be sure of employing all his
knowledge and skill according to the estab-
iished rules of his art. There are two kinds
Of secrets referred to in the Hppocratic writ
ings-one which might be called trade Sc
crets" and the other secrets Of trust" &C
quired in the professional intercourse with
patients. Trade secrets" have practically
ceased to exist in medicine. There is nothing
in the mode of conducting modern practice
that. any layman might not know.
and should be inviolable except under the
compulsion of court Of lawo and even the
courts of law have recognized distinction
between the ethical and legal aspects ofsthese I
secrets. ~ ssst e-rg n gllsy 5s Il
n On this foundation the conclusion Is rested
that the tendency on the part of the Legislative
and administrative authorities to encroach on
the principle of professional secrecy may have
to be combatted. In the case Of many diseases,
as Sir John suggests, no harm may be done
by notification" but great personal and do
nestle misery may be caused if extended to
diseases of strictly personal and private
character, especially if any stigma or immoral
imputation were rightly or wrongly implied.
The ethics of the medical profession, turn
ing on the confidential relation between ply
stefan and patient, cannot be lightly upset with
out needless grief Before legislation goes much
farther, the line will have to be carefully drawn
else we will be- merely loading our statute
books with more dead letter legislation.

NoaU the Trackless Trolleg

The trackess trolley car has found welcome
in number of small New England towns, ac-
cordng to the Popular Mechanics magazine for
June. The impression of the technical publica-
ton is that this car without tracks to run on has
come to stay and perhaps force its way into cit
les where the track-folowing trolley cars are
going up into the air after higher fares to keep
out of the bankruptcy column. The trackless
car looks like long autobus on wide solid rub
Der tires and is heated, lighted and propelled
by electricity supplied through two trolleys to
an ordinary street car motor. 1t is claimed that
the trackless outfit is much cheaper than the old
style, because expensive rails, switches and sig
nails are not required. More satisfactory in per-
Torrance is another claim for it, because the
swinging trolieys permit the cars to go any
where in a 2s-foot roadway to pass slower vehi-
cles,' avoid uneven road surface and allow pas
sengers to get out close to sidewalk. 1t should
hardly be possible that the small towns have
more sense as to a street transportation system
than the cities, but at least one writer on scen-
tifc mechanics seems to incline to that idea
The trackless way may be the next road to pay

Defoe's Robinson Crusoe

In this year Of centenary celebrations we
should not forget that Defoe's most celebrated
story has attained the dignihed age of 200 years.
So much Of classic has this famous story be-
come that its authorship is of secondary i'm
portance, for the tale is so unique in literary
history that it is difficult to associate it with the
personality Of any writer.
Defoe was nearly so years Of age when
Robinson Crusoe" was published, in 1919. The
central idea of the book, that of sailor ma
rooned on an island, was not novel, as Mari
vaux made use of it six years earlier in his
novel, LES Effets Surprenants;" but Defoe's
treatment of his subject was so new in its
freshness and sprightliness that no one has ever
suggested any similarity between the two In
fact there is nothing which preceded Robin
son Crusoe" which can be cited as model, and
Defoe was entitled to all the credit which came
to him for what Europe held as ian invention,
great unexpected stroke Of British genius"
Everywhere on the continent the story was
widely initiated, its popularity gave an i'm
mediate impetus to the new romantico-realistic
conception of fiction. Among Defoe's disciples
should be mentioned Provost, Rousseau and
Bsrnardin de Saint Pierre.
Defoe's life was we'll calculated to supply
him with ample material for his writings. but
probably the most fortunate thing for him in
the gathering of material was the period he
for seditious libel against the government Here,
making the most Of his opportunities, he studied
thieves, pirates highwaymen and coiners, to his
hearts content which easily explains the lifeIike
realism OF the characters which appear in the
stories. Defoe once wrote of himself: II have
some time ago summed up the scenes OF my life
in this distich:
mo man has tasted different fortunes more, .
And thirteen times have been rich and poor.",
