 War Controversy
 After taking on an amount or work during the war that would have exhausted 0 man of less physical endurance, Senator Cham berlain crossed swords with Presi- dent Wilson, leader of his own party, in 1918 when he publicly charged that the War President had ceased to function. An open letter from President Wilson fol lowed and the controversy was carried to the floor of the. senate, where the Oregon senator delivered three hours speech in support of his position.
 One of the measures in which Senator Chamberlain took pride was that revising the Articles. of War. This legislation, he con- tended, eliminated the "Prussiar idea of absolute power of the men at the top,' and "liberalized and democratized," the articles.
 The National Defense Act. of 1916, in the preparation of which he was identified, was urged by him as the basis for the expanded army in the war.
 In the conduct of the war. Sena- tor Chamberlain was one of the most vigorous opponents to the billeting of American troops with those of their associate nations, although he supported the idea of a united command Hsi'

SECRETS OF
HEALTH

Won should derive some com
fort from the fact that All the
scientific world is devoting itself
to solving the problem of cancer.
I happen to know OF observations
and experiments now in progress
which, to me, promise 4 solution
OF the heretofore baffling and
tragic mystery. The results Of
these observations and expert
naents will not be published until
they are tested and confirmed BY
all manner of controls. That IL
because science, true science,
never Ii promulgated until, 50 far
as research can do so, 1t stands
on the firm foundation OF truth.
In the meantime, however. vari-
GUS societies, commissions and
committees are collecting and pub
fishing all available data which
may help in the final solution. I
find some interesting general OBJ
servations by one such commits
sion in Yorkshire. England.
In comparison with other dis
eases, says this report. cancer is
more odious. more dangerous and
more relentless. 1t is resisting de-
feat more stubbornly than any
disease which medical science has
yet attacked; in fact, 1t is actually
gaining ground. In the last
twenty years the general death
rate has fallen 80 per cent. the
infant death rate As per cent, and
the tuberculosis death rate SO
per cent. The cancer death rate
has increased 20 per cent. Most
of this increase is absolute and
cannot be explained by the in
creased expectation Of life and
the greater skill in diagnosis. 1t
has occurred in spite of the fact
that more people than ever are
being cured.
1t surprises many to hear that
cancer can be cured, but 1t is
true. Extensive and comparative
~ safe operations are more often
followed by permanent freedom
from recurrence than they were
20 years ago. The public hears
much of deaths from operation
and of the recurrence of cancer
after It's removal, but they hear
next to nothing from those who
are rescued. People who have
suffered from cancer seem to re-
gard 1t as sort of moral blem-
ish and rarely mention it.
OF the reasons why more people
are not rescued, the most i'm.
portant one is public ignorance
and skepticism. The attitude of
a patient who discovers tumor
in the breast is often something
like this: This may be cancer,
and If it is I must have an OPP
Grafton. If / do, that may die,
and even il / live the operation
may not be successful. / had
better not mention this lump to
any one"
The tumor grows every moment
of every day, and at last the pa.
tient is forced to undergo rescue
operation. She has also probably
wasted time by uuack cures"
Cancer always starts as a local
condition. There is. one day in
which 1t is still local, and there
fore probably durable; and the
very next day q cancer cell has
been transmitted to another part
of the body.
