voting as a protest against abuses.
and this course was followed In some
places, though not apparently in last
Saturdays contests.
AS the matter stands now, all the
formalities of the Cuban Constitu-
tion and laws have been complied
with and the actual Victory OF the
coalition and DR.. ZAYAs is not open
to dispute as a matter of record.
GoMEz's hope that Washington will
brush all the proceedings aside and
set up a provisional government for
the third time Is based on the theory
that the vote does not express the
will of the Cuban people because a
military conspiracy pIactised fraud
and terrorism. His adherents speak
of the possibility of such an act being
accomplished without the despatch of
large military force to Cuba but
they prefer even an invasion and
armed control to the rule of the con-
stitutionally chosen adversary Of their
party.
1t may be doubted If President
HARDING and his advisers will. see
anything commendable in this posi-
ton. Aside from the odium of up
setting the result of so painstakingly
conducted a popular contest, aside
from the certain indignation of nearly
all Cuban citizens not Of the Gomez
faction, the prospective effect Of such
interference, such an assertion OF
overlordship upon Latin American
opinion generally, will hsve great infiu-
ence with them. The election of ZAYAs
promises continuation Of the policies
Of the Menocal regime-preservation
Of order, moderate economy in expen-
diture and building up Of civic ideals.
1t holds out prospects OF steadying
and strengthening influence on the
republics career. 1t presents no men
ace either TO Cuba or to American
interests there such as would justify
a revolutionary act on doubtfui or
merely conjectural grounds

name. There Is a Robert f. Lee
Highway, from New Orleans to Ell
Paso. The man who knows his coun-
try from WASHINGTON to ROOSEVELT
does well. If he wants earlier history
let him try the Old Spanish Trail,
from Jacksonville, Florida, to San
Diego, California. For lovers OF liter
ature the Mark Twain Route, Chicago
TO Kansas City, Missouri, is to be
commended.
The money to build all of these
highways has not been raised yet,
but the energetic gentlemen who pro-
pose them are likely to find it sooner
than some folks think they will.
Americans are determined to have
good roads.

Draft Most When Empty.
Popularity Attributed to Ship
Famed for Her Beauty.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The City
OF Rome, referred to by Joseph e. Hig-
CONS and built for the Infnan Line at
Barrow, England. has often been spoken
of by those who go down to the sea In
ships as the most beautiful steamship
that ever was built, and yet she had a
"eculia ity or fault which / believe
caused her to be rejected by the Inman
Line.
A correspondent who subscribed him
self "E. b." in a letter to the Liverpool
Express in. think. the year 1913. says:
Why was the City OF Rome returned to
the builders? Ny answer Is. because when
completed she was 1000 tons less than
she was contracted for. She also had
peculiarity which caused her TO draw more
water when unoaded than when loaded
This was caused by the engines being
placed well aft. so that when unloaded the
stern went down % feet and when loaded
II was 21 feet: the cargo being placed for
ward lifted the stern up.
A glance at my picture of the old
yachtike liner bears out the assertion
OF the writer Of the letter, and possibly
there arc some old shellbacks who will
remember that her engines were well aft
At the time referred to there were
also two steamships of the White Star
nc whose regularity as sister ships over
a long period has seldom or never been
equalled. / believe. / refer to the old
Britannia and Germanic, long since gone.

Medicine in China.
Recent Growth i'm Number Of Colleges
and Physicians.
From the London Telcoraph.


At the Royal Society OF Medicine a
special meeting was held yesterday eve
ming Of members Of the medical profess
sion to listen to a paper BY Mr.. Harold
Balme dealing with THE Advance Of
Medical Education in China"
1t was probably well known to all that
for several centuries Chinese medical
textbooks had been accurately. describ-
ing the symptoms OF many diseases COM
monty met with in the country; while
the great Chinese Pharmacopoeia. which
was compiled nearly 700 years ago, con-
tanned n number OF drugs now univer-
sally used whose action was already
thoroughly understood in China at that
time. But the difficulties which pre-
vented any attempt at human dissection
and the lack of intimate acquaintance
with physical science restricted the
Chinese physician TO philosophic ,specu-
lation and empirical observation. while
the fact that any one was at liberty
to style himself a doctor naturally pre-
vented the building up Of a professional
spirit or the development OF sense of
trusteeshp.
After referring 20 the pioneer work
Of Thomas Collcdge OF the East India
Company in 1927. OF Peter Parker, an
able surgeon from the United States,
and to that of the hospitals during the
next fifty years, Mr.. Balme pointed out
that n was In 1881 that the first Chi
nese medical college was established.
and this marked n new day In the
annals Of Chinese medical education.
The lecturer then traced the steady
growth OF the medical schools and the
effect upon medical education produced
by the appearance of the body OF Chi
nose medical men who had received their
training on modern lines. mostly in Eu.
rope and America. and who subsequently
formed themselves into National Med
ical Association Of China. The vast inn
nortance OF preventive medicine In the
Gpllft Of China is similarly being kept
20 the front. and there Il no subject in
which the modern Chinese are more in
tenscly Interested.
