cides Chamberlain Had
Right To Garry Pistol.

Washington. D. c., July 3O.-The
case against Capt. Edmund c. Cham
berlain. I. S. NJ. c. Of san Antonio,
who was arrested here last week dur
ing the riots. charged with drawing a
pistol in Potomac park and command
ing two policemen to throw up their
hands," has been dismissed in police
court. The technical charge was
carrying a concealed weapon.
Capt Chamberlain contended that
as marine corps officer he had a
right to carry a weapon and he ex-
planned that he thought the two po-
licemen. whom he saw hiding in the
shrubbery, were rioters. The Judge
continued the case last week for in
vestigatiOn. but has decided that Capt
Chamberlain. as an officer. had
right to go armed. and ordered the
case dismissed.
Capt. Chamberlain has been here

which attracted nation wide notice
at the time. His friends here say that
British officers trumped up the
charges in order to protect themselves
against charges for allowing Cham
berlain to use British airplanes in his
exploit, and they are confident that
the verdict Of the London court will
clear the officer of all blame. as well
as establish the truth of his story

THOUSANDS HAVE DIED OF
SHEER NEGLECT.

The selfish ambition Of an unprin-
cipleJ ruler has made itself felt from
one end of the world to the other,
and has produced results far beyond
any intention or expectation.
For instance. DR. Robertson, the
head Of the Chicago health depart
ment. estimates that Of the 100000
deaths from influenza and pneumon-
Ia in this country, one half could have
been prevented if the sufferers had
had skilled nursing. This il was i'm
possible to supply for the army had
required 10000 trained nurses TO
meet It's needs. This left at home
barely enough experienced nurses Cor
ordinary times. and when the eui-
demic arrived the scarcity Of nurses
was Immediately felt
The people who died on account OF
insufficient care in sickness were az
truly victims Of the prussian mili,rrv
system as II they had died on the
field Of battle.

The war revealed to US many of
the existing conditions Of America.
II showed us that among our young
citizens of draft age a very large
proportion. through illness or physi-
cal imperfection, were unable to meet
the requirements necessary for mill
tary duty. 1t also brought into view
an illiteracy greatly exceeding our
realization Among the men Of
draft age there were 700, 600 Hitter
ates.
Such a condition is most urfortu-
nate. Our country. in spite Of the
Wanted advantacese Of education
which it is supposed to give, is not
doing its duty along educational lines.
and along the lines of preparing men
for citizenship.
Besides this large number of Hit
crates, there are many people in this
country who. though they read and
write some foreign tongue, do no,
read or write English.
