NEW CABLE LINK BETWEEN
AMERICA AND URUGUAY.

Uruguay was linked to the Uni
ted States yesterday through the
all-America Cables by the open
ing of a new line from Buenos
Ayres to Montevideo, putting
New York and Montevideo in di-
rect telegraphic communication
with each other for the first time.
The new service was inatlgu-
rated by the exchange of mes
sages by Secretary of State Lam
sing and the Urdguayan Minister
at Washington with President
Brum and Minister of Foreign
Relations Dominguez. of Uruguay.
at Montevideo. All predicted a
strengthening Of the friendship
and trade between Uruguay and
the United States through the de-
velopment Of direct communica-
ton between the two countries.

criminals there who are primar
| lily responsible for this holocaust
but no announcement of arrests
has yet been made. 1t is stated,
however, that four men are IN
vOlved in the scheme Of making
the "whiskey." 1t is also stated
that the liquor was taken in an au-
tOmobile from the Bronx to Hart
ford and distributed there.
The fact that there were, in
New York City alone, fifteen
deaths from wood alcohol poison
ing between December l and 20,
indicates that this nefarious traf-
fic is not confined to the single
12-barrel shipment which was
wrought such sad havoc on Con-
necticut and Massachusetts, and
prominent physicians in different
parts Of the country are issuing
warnings against this deadly drug.
They call attention to the fact
that wood alcohol is often fatal
even when taken in very small
quantities, and it also causes
blindness as frequently as it does
death. According to one physi-
clan single teaspoonful has been
known to cause blindness and
death.
1t is said that manufacturers
of wood alcohol will be asked by
the authorities to add to the drug
some ingredient which will make
it unpalatable and nauseating to
the drinker Immediately after
swallowing it.
In this connection attention is
called to the fact that this pres
ent menace in America is similar
to that which prevailed in Russia |
after prohibition was declared. :
1t was reported that literally
thousands of persons died in Rus
sia at that time from the effects
Of drinking wood alcohol. While
that situation has not yet been
approached there, it is altogether
possible unless effective means
are taken to destroy this rapidly
growing menace.

WARES BABY

THE WOOD-ALCOHOL DEATH
WAVE.

Twelve barrels of wood alcohol
"doctored" so as to have the ap.
pearance of whiskey, and said t.
have been prepared IN Bronx. New
York, and sold for $4,000, has
proven to be a terrible death
wave in New England where it
was shipped and distributed.
Thus far twenty-eig1t ere dead
In three New England cities alone
and many others are seriously u
or dying as result of this most
hideous crime.
The latest reports, manifsstly
incomplete, of the toll of this
deadly beverage show the fol-
lowing:
Holyoke, MassEFour dead,
many dying in hospitals. One ar
rest.
Chicopee Falls. Mass.-Four-
teen dead, many seriously ill.
Three arrests.
Hartford, Conn.-Ten dead,
one dying, seven in hospitals suf-
fering from various degrees Of
blindness. Five arrests.
In addition to the foregoing
the belief is expressed by the po-
lice and doctors in these three
cities that scores of others who
partook of this deadly concoc-
ton are suffering in their homes.
A former bartender for one Of
the men arrested in Hartford is
reported to have given the tip
that led to the discovery of the
fact that this liquor was pur-
chased in Bronx. The police, as
well as MANY Government agents,
are said to be rounding up the

this treaty situation. The So
called "irreconcilables' Those
who consider the treaty, because
Of its partial surrender of Amer
lean sovereignty, a menace to the
country, and who are definitely
and unalterably opposed to its
ratification unless the League Of
Nations plan is either American
lied or eliminated altogether
are determined that the matter
shall be made an issue at the COM
ing presidential elections and that
the people of the country shall
thus be given a definite oppor-
tunity to vote on the question. To
this end these Senators have in
process of organization a country
wide movement by means of
which it is proposed to insist that
every candidate for office, from
the President down, shall declare
definitely whether or not eh fav-
ors the League of cations plan.
The organization will also. it is
said, insist that the party plat
forms contain definite, clear-cut
planks regarding the matter.
1t is stated that, even if the
treaty is ratified before the cleo
ton, the matter will still be an
issue; although in that event the
purpose of the fight will be toI
have the United States promptly
give the two years notice of with
drawal required by the League
Covenant and thus get out Of the
League Covenant and thus get
out Of the League as speedily as
possible.
It thus appears that when Con-
gress convenes On January 5
there will be a quick, hard and
bitter fight over the treaty, with
the chances favoring ratification
with much modified reservations.
and with big crop Of leftover
of feeling which will be
carried into the Presidential cleo
lions. So that. even if the treaty
should be ratified, it will prob
ably be bone Of contention for
years to come.
While on the whole the pros
pect may not be a pleasing one,
at any event it will probably at
least afford an opportunity for a
trial Of the League pin.

RIGHT OF LADY ASTOR
SIT IN COMMONS CUES
TONED

The London Saturday Review
which is leading an attack on
Lady Astor. on the ground that,
being a Peerless, she has no right
to occupy a seat in the House Of
Commons, said yesterday in an
editorial:
We have serious doubts
whether Lady Astor legally is
capable of sitting in the House
of Commons. She is peeress,
not by inheritance, but by mar
riage, and peeress is a definite
legal status, not a courtesy title
A peeress, not commOner, can
she therefore sit in the House of
Commons?
"If Lady Astor were a peeress
in her own right, that is by in
heritance, like Ladies Rhondda,
Roberts, Strathcona. Wolscley,
North and others, it is admitted
that she could not be elected to
sit in the Commons legally. What
is the difference between a peeress
by marriage and one by Inherit
ance? Section 9 of the Eight Act
of George V. provides that any
incapacitv Of a neer to vote at an
election arising from the status of
the peer shall not extend to peer
esses in their own right
"That shows the incapacitv of
the peer did extend to one class
Of peeresses. Why not to both -

paper which was being published in the
 same city of Philadelphia in 17s7. The
 following sentence was published in the
 Aurora few days before Washington
 retired from the presidency and re-
 turned to his farm:
 "If ever q nation was debauched by
 man, the American nation has been debauched by Washington; if ever a nation was deceived 5y man, the
 American nation has been deceived by Washington"
 few days later. an anonymous cor respondent of the Aurora wrote as fol- lows:
 When a retrospect is taken of the Washington administration for eight years, 1t is subject of the greatest as- tonishment that single individual should have conquered the principles of republicanism in an enlightened peo- pie just emerged from the gulf of des- potism and should have carried his de- signs against the public liberty so far as to have put in jeopardy its very ex- istence."
 The Public Ledger's criticisms of "Wilsonism" this summer are as wrong headed as those of the Aurora against Washington; but they do not transcend in stupidity and irrelevancy the epithets which the republican official documents and the speeches of republican orators now apply to President Wilson. Here is an incomplete group of those epithets- | autocrat, usurper, despot, dictator.
