According to statistics just published

thing more than $4,000 in all of Ger
many in 1913. Then there were about
five physicians to every 10000 inhab-
itants; now there are six. The number
of women physicians has doubled during
the last eight years. The greatest pro-
portion of doctors exists at Wiesbaden,
where there. are twenty-five to each
10000 inhabitants. Though situated in
the area occupied by the French. wies-
baden has not lost its popularity as a
health resort.
German phyicians complain OF the
great number Of unqualified and un-
graduated quacks who practice actively
throughout Germany with impunity. 1t
is pointed out that during the period In
which Germany's population Increased
by per cent. the quacks grew neither
8 nor 500 per cent, but 600 times their
previous number. The doctors demand
that the activities of these quacks
shall be stopped by legislation.
Another cause OF much discomfort in
Germany Is the poverty of scientific
institutions. libraries. laboratories, hos
pitals, &c. The huge number of books
published abroad which could not be
purchased during the war cannot be
acquired owing to the prohibitive diff
ference In money rates. The increased
prices on German made scientific instru-
nents likewise greatly hinders the work
and development of institutions. all OF
which are run on meager budget. a
microscope that sold for 500 marks be-
fore the war costs 10000 marks now.
Scientific laboratories which are de-
signed to fight epidsmics suffer in the
lack of animals needed for experiments
The pre-war price of one rabbit was 2iz
marks; a mouse. Is pfennigs: a rat, 60
pfennigs; a monkey, 20 marks The

German scientists claim they cannot
afford to attend congresses and con-
ferences abroad or undertake expedi-
tions. A well-known German university
professor recently declared:

continuous development of our science
lasts longer than one decade German
science is doomed TO perish"

of circling the earth in a sailboat forty
six feet long and of twelve tons dis
placement which is being planned by
four Austrian sportsmen On this oc-
casion attention is called to three pre-

The first two voyages, one by an
American, Capt. Slokum. which lasted
from 1895 TO 1898, and the other by
Capt Flemingday, also an American,
which lasted from 1912 - 1914, were
successful. The third expedition by
two British officers in 1913 resulted in
the death of the two men. who perished
on the return voyage between New York
and England.
Those who propose TO make the new
expedition are Frank Plunder. Fred

Paris, Feb. II.
A Catholic abbe lending his quasi
support to the continuance of dueling
and Deputy who is one of Frances
cleverest swordsmen fighting for its
abolition show how peculiarly France
is divided on the question, which is
now being discussed by parliamentary
legislative commissions.
The bill presented by Able Lemire,
instead of taking an extreme view
as one would expect from the clergy,
does not ask that duelists in the event
of the Staying of an adversary be
charged with assassination, but merely
with imprudent wounding, which
would be tried in the police courts
instead of in the Court OF Ass,zes.
This radical departure from the ca
nonical tenet an eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth in the matter of judg-
ments surprised many, but not more
than did Deputy Lafagettes condemna-
ton of the traditional French method of
settling disputes in the report he has
filed contrary to Able Lemire's bin. He
puts wounding by sword or pistol on the
same basis as the act of an apache. dis
counting the theory that dueling is
merely an affair of honor in which two
men in the presence of seconds nobly
and Loyalty fulfill their duty to society.
"Take, for instance, the case of a
father who slays a man who has ruined
his daughters life" says Deputy Lafa-
gette. "His act is excusable, as his
motive is not evil. Perhaps a jury acts
wisely in acquitting him, but he must
come before the Court OF Assizes like
other assassins. a Corsican who re-
spends to the vendetta obeys only what
he believes to be his duty. but If he kills
he must be tried as an assassin. Just
because a duel Is fought with blades 6S
centimetres long instead of with clasp
knives Is ccntimetres long is no reason
why duelists should have the benefit of
special protection in the courts"
Even stronger is his argument that the
time has passed when Frenchmen con
talk of fighting TO the death for honor.
THE war has killed that feeling he
says. "It was once TO be expected that
men would be laughed at If they refused
to risk their lives. but to-day. after see
ing thousands of comrades killed and
remembering the scores of times when
at the front we have failed to do our
fullest duty. failed to volunteer for dan
gerous tasks. failed to offer our lives
promptly instead of that of some COM
rade, there is something odious about a
man who talks of risking his fife in any
thing so useless as dueling. Let US not
give the impression that We are disciples
of death when we have let pass so many
brilliant occasions to have ourselves
killed"

fact Is that as soon as one enters the

rcstrains coughing to minimum.
In other theaters, however. where the
scene is brilliantly lighted and there is
