TN December, 1908, Guy Scull was
i appointed to position in the
New York city Police Department.
His ideas of personal nttire had
apparently undergone a radical
change since the time he was on

he was on the Mexican border, and
tn 1912 the State Department sent
him to Nicaragua Then came his
association with Arthur Woods
when the latter was Police Commits

work was in connection with the
war. In 1914 he was placed In
charge of a squad for detective
work to maintain the neutrality OF
the United States. He dealt with
German plots to destroy factories,
to blow up trains, and to sink ships.

seek advice. They. these camera men. are real artists, and 10 their ability Is due much of the pleasure derived from fine picture.
 But there is that other class of oper- ators of the camera because of whose energy and daring so many fascinating pictures of out of-the-way places and of wild animals are seen. Those men are inspired by an enthusiasm seen most prominently in the artistic fana- atic but this enthusiasm must be ac- companied by willingness to take risks which is seldom appreciated hk those who, seated in some comforta- ble theatcr, view the pictures.
 A news item tells of nine white men who have lost their lives attempt ing to take pictures of the Sahara desert-and men are still at it. His torians write of the explorations of hardy men, and the explorers them selves tell of what they have found. But this new class of men, the camera men of the movies, will leave pictorial narratives which will bring knowl- edge to many about this world of wonders all of which have not been discovered.

"CAMERA MEN"

As the moving pictures have de- veloped d new class of people-actors for the screen--so they have develop cd new species of men in whom are combined courage and art. There is comparatively little danger in the work of the man who operates the camera in studios and on locations" required for the conventional picture play. Those camera men are more artists than explorers. Their value to the producer is great in proportion to their appreciation of what will make a good picture and what will not. They are not automatons, and their advice is sought by the director and actors-if the latter are allowed to

LYMAN ABBOTT

Small indeed seem the narrow. in dividual efforts toward material sue cess, conceived and nourished in sell fshness, when the life and works of Lyman Abbott are, contemplated. He is dead after eighty-seven years de- voted to the joy of the wise, moderate, sympathetic helping of others toward greater wisdom, greater moderation, greater sympathy, all touched with a broadness of vision, a practical hand of understanding that inspired deeds and thoughts not only ideal but hu- manly workable.
 A man whose intellect and habit of thought would have brought him great wealth and fame on the world stage where most men desire to be famous chose rather to speak his me sage from the pulpit Of brillia nt predecessor whom he could not hope to outshine, or to write that message in his editorial office to which the greatest material benefits do not come. Sincerely Lyman Abbott work ed trying to pass on the precepts of sincerity. Posterity will be better, stronger, happier because he chose to work thus, Only the example of his life, which his death emphasizes, and the standards and ideals he leaves, may make up in a small way for the country's loss in the rest that has come to him.

ADVANCE OF SCIENCE

For ages leprosy has been mention. ed almost in whisper. It was taken for granted that the disease was in- curable. Today comes the news that judicious system of segregation and modern treatment makes it probable that Korea will be rid of the disease eventually. Patients have been dis charged from institutions as cured, no traces of the disease being left Re- gently the death rate at one asylum was 25 per cent. Since the introduc
 tion of the new methods that death rate has been decreasing until last year it was only 21a per cent and half of those who died suffered from ty- phoid, Thus it may be seen that science has accomplished what was thought anciently, and even up to

THE LIQUOR DECISION

Federal Judge Hands decision that reuor may not be carried even on foreign ships, except supply for their crews. into the territoria waters of the United States, means that the Volstead act as interpreted violates in- ternational law and usage. It means also, If the decision is affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, either that foreign ships will not en- ter our ports, which is practically out Of the question, or that there will arise innulnerable cases of alleged in- fraction of our laws by foreign ships which will result in international complications Of serious consequences. The United States, in enforcing ita own laws. will become the legal enemy of all nations which send their ships to our ports.
 But this situation is inconceivable: : this situation will be remeded. For the decision of Federal Judge Hand, if upheld, will bring about a condition which vii raise such an intense pub lie sentiment demanding the modifica- ton of the Volstead act that Congress will make haste, urged even by per petua1- prohibition predicting Presi- dent, to alter and modify the Vol stead act to prevent the United States from continuing to be a violator Of international law and usage.
 This is the public sentiment it was predicted in these columns the ad- ministration desired to raise. It wish- ed to make the Volstead act so un- popular that public sentiment, reused by necessity as well as by the personal wishes of men, would demand its modification The Volstead act, if thi. decision is affirmed by the highest court in the land, must be modified at least as far as foreign shipping is concerned; the wall barring foreign ships from our ports must be taken down to allow foreign ships to enter and leave.
 The court has shown just what our Nolstead act does. The court has rem dered a decision that will create a strong public sentiment against it. The decision has shown the impossibility of continuing it's enforcement and at the same time continuing the freedom of international trade SO necessary to our prosperity.
 More than ten days ago Attorney General Daugherty gave his liquor barring opinion. Comment was made in these columns immediately there after indicating what was believed to be the idea of the administration in bringing this matter to a crisis after } years of allowing international law and usage to have precedence. The comment of The. Herald, appearing in an editorial Of October 14, is even more appropriate today.
