MEDICAL BOOTLEGGERS WORK
Hardship on manufacturers of Legit-
innate Proprietary Medicines.

Washington. May 2I.--The manu-
facturcrs OF proprietary medicines
are more concerned with the elimina-
tion Of medical bootleggcrs than in
the sale OF beer to the sick. II. g.
Thompson. their Washington repre-
sentative, told the House Judiciary
Committee recently at the hearings
on the bill to tighten up the Nolstead
law.
"Prior to the cnacmcnt Of the Vol
stead law, so per cent OF the makers
Of legitim1tc medicines in which al
coh0l was used were required 10 med
icate it so as to render it unfit as q
beverage MIR. Thompson said. eve
enforced that regulation before the
country got the >th amendment. but
since then thousands Of permits have
been issued under which disguised
booze was turned ont wholesale.
I'VE have nothing to do with beer
and are entirely satisfied if You pro-
cccd with the enactment Of a law 20
prohibit its use"
Mr.. Thompson declared the man
, ufacturcrs were asking no favors for
'boozc." but simply protection for
legitimate medicines.
"When "lcohol in pl oprictary med
icines is medicatcd you'd have a fine
time drinking it for booze" he said.

BATTLEsHIP VS.. SUBMARINE.

The present conference on the limitation of ar
-,nents has brought to the front again the ques-
.;on OF whether the day of the battlesfip has passed,
and there have been not a Jew experts" and others
who have maintained that the big ships have been
practically nullifed by the submarine.
In support of this theory they generally appear
to cite the facts that after the battle of Jutland the
big ships of the allied navies took merely a passive
part in the war, and that the allied fleets were I'M
able to effectively check the activities Of German
submarines.
Both these facts are true but they are not pc
culiar to the recent world war. In the Napoleonic
wars after the battle of Trafalgar, there were practk
caly no general feet actions between the French
and British navies. This was for the simple reason
that Trafalgar convinced the French that they
could not meet the English in a general action with
any hope of success, and that the preponderance
Of sea power was on the side of Great Britain to
such an overwhelming extent that the only way to
preserve their battleships was to keep them in port.
While Jutland W as not such an overwhelming
defeat for the Germans as was Trafalgar for the
French it convinced them of the same fact, and the
German grand fleet made no more sallies.
Thus it was the mere existence of the English
grand feet, "the feet in being Of Mahan, which
kept the German feet helpless in port throughout
the later years of the World war. 1t was the Brit
ish supremacy in battleships which gave this SUI
premacy, for as the advocates of the submarine
themselves claim, the Germans were apparently
superior in this arm.
Again referring to Mahan, whose Influence
OF Sea Power on History" is admittedly in a class
by itself as a study OF sea warfare, we find that even
an inferior naval power can usually inhict heavy
damage on the commerce of a superior power when
the two are at war. In the great wars of the 18th
and 18th centuries as we'll as the Napoleonic strug-
gle, the, French privateers thus took a heavy toll Of
English commerce just as the German submarines
did in the World war.
The French privateers and the German sub
marines were equally helpless however in attempts
to wrest the control. of the seas from the English
battle feet. and in practically every case it was this
superiority of the English battle feet which was
the determining factor in determining the outcome
Of the struggle.
The World war only demonstrated again what
had been taught before, with different weapons,
that commerce destroyers can never win a conflict,
and that in the final analysis superiority i'll capital
ships will determine the decision.
