PROHIBITED DRUG

Despite an order more than a year
ago, prohibiting the use of narcosan,
an injurious drug, as a treatment
for narcotic addiction, this drug has
continued to be used on Welfare Is
md by the City Commissioner of
direction, it was learned yesterday.
Improvement Seen.
Officials of the department of cor
lection make the claim that improve
'ment has resulted from the use Of the
drug, but according to their own adj
mission over 10 per cent of the cases
are known to relapse. Undoubtedly
many more whose cases are never
brought to the attention of the au-
thorities suffer a similar relapse.
Violate Order Indifferently.
No explanation for the continued
use of narcosan in violation of last
years order was given. The use Of
the drug has been severely condemn
ed by the American Medical Asso-
citation and even by it's inventor, A. S.
Horovitz, who expressed doubt con-
corning its value.

CHANG ONCE MORE

After lull lasting the greater part of year.
Chlnas civil war has burst forth again in full vgor
and bids fair to occupy prominent place in the
for an indefinite period. Not that the war has ever
ceased but its magnitude decreased greatly while
the lords grded themselves for the struggle.
The famous Chang Kai Shek, who retired under
something of cloud following decisive defeat last
year is again at the head of the Nationalists this time
presenting united front instead of being split into
various factions the formerly
Chiangs objective is Peking, the capital of the
country and his present efforts centered upon
drive northward through Shantung province and then
the capital He is reported to have with him an
enormous army, splendidy equipped and associated
with him is -HSiang the socaed christian
General"
There is doubt of Chiang's ability, and with
the experience gained in last years heavy fighting, he
il not likely to be caught at any disadvantage this time
To most of us the Chinese is as intricate and
perpexing the proverbal Chinese puzzle For years
ii has been going with the country between
general factions the north and the SOUTH and each of
these split up into nnumerable cliques.
Chang may be strong enough to push through to
victory and prove himself the leader who shall to
work the unlimited of his country If he
do this he will have carved for himself niche in the
history of the world. China has long been asleep but
competent leadership will yet bring it out of its leh
