POLAND SACRIFICES
TO SAVE CHILDREN

Brest-Litovsk, Jan. 1.-The one OPP
timistic note in the deep need pre-
vailing thruout the war-torn areas of
Eastern Poland is the extraordinary
faith of the people in the children.
The elder generation has put all its
hope and trust in the future OF the
younger element. In fact, in many
instances, It is deliberately sacrifice
ing itself for the children of the ma
ton, the citizens of the future.
Government reports show that,
while many hospitals are in a neg
lected condition. while homes for the
aged are run down and are permitted
to remain so, everywhere the orphan
ages are excellently equipped and in
nearly every case splendidly con-
Quoted. Every facility is placed at
the disposal of these institutions by
the local authorities. In war-ravag-
ed districts, where supplies of all
kinds are lacking, the orphanages get
the best of everything which can be
obtained.
How far this is true is well indi-
Gated by the fact that in one district
the authorities. applying to the Ameri-.
can Red Cross, for aid, asked assist
ance for one military hospital, four
general hospitals and twenty orphan
asylums. The proportion, so mark
edly favoring the orphanages at the
expense of other charitable institu-
tions indicates the extent to which
the elder generation are ready to sac
rifice themselves for the sake of the
children.

INJECT ETHER INTO
VEINS OF PATIENT

Boston, Jan. 16.-Ether admins
tered thru vein in the. elbow to in
duce anesthesia for a major opera
ton was successfully applied for the
first time, it is believed, in Boston,
in a surgical case at the Elm Hill
Hospital, on Walnut avenue, Rox-
bury.
The patient, whose name is with
held, went under the knife for cancer
of the brain.
DR., r. e. T. Rhames was in charge
of the operation, with DR.. Nicholas
Dynan and DR.. Richard ]. Costello as
assistants.
In the case Of the Roxbury patient,
the anesthetic could not be admin
istered in the usual way, by inhala-
ton, because of nasal obstruction.
A 5 per cent portion of ether in
salt solution was introduced into
vein at the elbow by means of gold
needle connected with tube, which
in turn connected with a reservoir OF
the fluid. Sleep having been induc-
ed within ten minutes, the cerebro-
spinal fluid was then removed from
the patients system to allow the OPP
Grafton. In due time the patient re-
covered consciousness.
The intravenous method, so-called,
of producing anesthesia has been in
successful operation for some time in
Paris and a number of American
cities.

In a statement issued today, Mr..
James says:
The statement carried in the dali

Figures are Explained.
THE records show that on January
3, 1890 the date on which the Repub-
lican administration assumed charge
of the state government, the out
standing interest-bearing warrants
were S2.O17,SO9.32. In addition to
this Indebtedness represented by war

Democratic administration, and was
owing by the state at the time the
Republicans assumed power on Jan
uary 8, 1920. unaudited claims for
which warrants had not yet been is

Big Reduction Made.

beginning with July 1, 1920, the
state operated for the first time un-
der the budget system, each and ey-
cry department of the state govern
ment, save the schools, the judiciary
and the legislative department, being
given specific sums under which they
should operate for the ensuing fiscal
year In the nature of things, a
great many of the departments, like
the university, the normal schools
and other departments, drew at the
beginning of the fiscal year their en-
tire appropriation allowed for GER
tain branches -of their work. which,
of course, would correspondingly re-
duce the amounts which those de-
partments will draw from the state
treasury for the remainder of the
fiscal year, which ends June 80, 1921.
The amounts drawn by these depart
ments, in excess of their half yearly
allowance, had the allowance been di-
vided into two equal parts, amounts
10 $512,217.36, and to that extent, of
course, reduces the amount which will
be drawn from the treasury for the
remaining half of the fiscal year.
When this $512, 217.36 is deducted
fro,s the $2.472,247.67. as it proper
ly should be deducted, there is left a
real net Indebtedness of the state on
the first day of January, 1921, of ST.
960,030.31, as against the deficit of
$2,32O,162.44 inherited by the Re-
publican administration. By deduct
ing <he deficit on January 1, 1921,
from the deficit on January 5, 1920,
It will readily be seen that in the
period the Republican party has been
in charge of the states affairs there
has been an actual reduction in the
states Indebtedness of s36O,132.13.
Further Saving Promised.
ain my Judgment, this is a remark
able showing, in view of the fact that
for the first six months the Repub-
Iican party was in power 1t was work
ing under the old plan of expendi-
lures, when nothing could be saved,
as in many instances there was no
check upon the various departments
and institutions OF the state, II
should also be borne in mind that we
had legislative session on hand the
first year the Republicans had charge
of the state government, and that this
occasioned an expense to the state
of approximately $4,000 which was
not borne the previous year, nor will
same have to be borne during the
present year, and but for this session
OF the General Assembly the reduc-
ton of the state debt to this date
would have been at least half mil
lion dollars. For the calendar year
ending December 81, 1920, the gross

BRITISH FRIGHTENED
AT u. S. MEAT CONTROL
Packers OF America Command
Worlds Output London Board
OF Trade Told.

London, Jan. 15.-hpp~ch clsions
of a worldwide meat control by Am.
erican packing firms we're disclosed
in recent report to the Board of
Trade by a. subcommittee of the
standing committee on trusts.
AT present the American meat
companies have nearly 60 per cent Of
the beef output from Argentina and
Uruguay and about rs per cent of the
capacity OF the meat plants built or
building in Brazil" the report stat
ed. Moreover, they control nearly
one-half of the whole trade of Smith
field (the great London meat market)
and they have also a solid footing in
Canada Ind Australia.
Fears as to the extension of their
activities are not confined to the
United Kingdom. but are equally
strong in the dominions," it contin-
ues.
England Faces Shut-off.
"The more they may be able to ex-
tend their operations in South Amer
lea, the more they may be able to
divert supplies from reaching the
Urited Kingdom, and the more they
are able to control fistributive bust
ness here, the more securely they will
have the British consumer in their
grip"
Suggestions were made by the COM
mittee to restrain, by taxation and by
subsiding refrigerated shipping COM
panies, the expansion of foreign, inter-
ests here, and an international in
vestigation was recommended to go
into the whole situation with a view
10 taking common action.
A rejoinder to the committees find
ngs is made by r. II. Cabell, the
London manager of Armour e Co.,
who in an interview with a press as
ISOLATION representative, complains
hat none of the American firms were |
heard by the committee and charges
hat the latter's report was complied |
under strong perjudice.'
Several passages in the report |
how a clear but very ill-informed |
minus against the American firms"
Jabell says. Particularly in its ref
renee to Argentina. No one would-t
,uess from the report that the Chi
ago packers entered the Argentine /
rade at the request, almost at the
of the British firms which
lad opened up the territory and had
aid heavily for their experience and
we're anxious to be bought out"
FIR. Cabell suggests that part of
he supposed animus disclosed in the
eport is due TO the reluctance of GER
ain British firms to compete with the
less wasteful and more efficient
Methods of their American rivals"
nd he says the only effect of the re-
ort must be to raise meat prices all
yer the United Kingdom.
