William Booth, were held at the Olympia to-night in sc- cordance with the traditions of that organization, without pomp or sym- bals of mourning but with a most moving fervor and impressiveness.Thirty-four thousand people participated in the service, Nearly half of them wore the blue coats and red jerseys or bonnets with red ribbons so familiar on the streets of cities in several nations.The body of the late General, in a plain pine coffin, rested high upon a white catafalque in front of the big platform across the end of the hall, where all the chief officers of the organization were seated and where forty bands were massed.The crimson flag of the Army \u201cof fire and blood,\u201d which the General unfurled on Mount Calvary, was planted above the coffin.A bank of flowers, composed of the tributes sent by members of royalty and many socicties, was behind it.Flags of the nations in which the commander-in-chief had waged campaigns and the standards of the older divisions of the Army were arrayed in front of the platform.These and more Salvation Army flags in the galleries, each tipped with white ribbons and twenty portraits of the Evangelist, surmounted with green laurel wreaths, with a broad orange ribbon connecting them, were the only decorative effects.Phin People In Majority.While the front rows of chairs before the coffin were filled with representatives of various bodies, with the equerry for the King,.several mayors in their rubes and chains of office, a delegation from the Stock Exchange, ministers and: clergymen of all the Protestant churches and Jewish Rabbis, and while many notable personages were seated throughout the house, the rank and file of the great gathering was composed of the plain people for whom the Army works and by whom it is composed.The service itself was not only a YOUNG FARMERS OF QUEBEC START WEST 369 Young Men, 160 Yesterday, Leave on Harvesters\u2019 Excursion to the West.The cheap harvesters\u2019 excursion over the Canadian Pacific Railway induced quite 8 number of young farmers from the surrounding country districts to make the trip to the Canadian West and Northwest.Up to the present 369 young and able-bodied young men from this district have taken advantage of the low excursion fares to try their fortunes in new Cunada.On the 16th of last month 209 took their departure and yesterday that number was augmented by 160 more.There was no special train out of Quebec.The travellers left by the regular trains.Yesterday morning the train carried 35, and the afternoon train at 1.30 p.m.carried 30 more and the balance of the 160, who purchas ed their tickets in this city, left by the night train.May Stay In West.A Chronicle representative was among those at the station to see them off, and in a talk with the young farmers learned that it was their ambition to join the human tide that was flowing to the West, Some have friends who have preceded them to go to the new country, and others, who have read the glowing deserip- tions of prosperity for farmers in the West willing to work, are going out to take chances and fuly determined never to return east until they have made their piles.In nationality the emigrants are sbout equally divided between French and English speaking and they all intend to accept jobs as harvesters until they gain experience, and then look out for homesteads.Some will stay over in Winnipeg with the intention of settling in the Province of Manitoon.Others will go to Alberts and 3askatchewan.All are filled with the hope thes they will | make good : Witnessed By All Classes And ties-Old-Time Revival Featdre of The Ceremonies.London, Aug.28\u2014Funeral services] * QUEBEC, THÜRSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1912.000 PEOPLE The Oly, London, tionali- US, TROOPS FACING N:CARAGUA TROUBLE Situation Considered Grave and Force Landed to Protect Lives and Property.Washington, August 28\u2014Grave concern over the situation in Nicaragua was expressqd at the State Department to-day.The orders of the 10th Infantry to proceed to the unsettled Central American republic were cancelled upon telegraphic orders from President Taft at Rochester, but a sufficient force is there to handle the situation.A single direct despatch from Nicaragua told of a serious situation in Matagalpas.The despatch was sent by 125 Americans, and told of the killing of a German named Neilson, and appealed to the State Department for immediate protection.Lack of further despatches from Nicaragua was a source of anxiety to the department.The.United States now has 2,500 soldiers, milors gad marines ashore.This force the -Depastment believes will be ample to protect American lives and isttereste;

RECORDS BROKEN AT EXHIBITION 40,000 People Visited Stadacona Yesterday and Today Will See Biggest Crowd Yet.Yesterday was Farmers\u2019 Day at the Exhibition, and according to the returns of the authorities it was estimated that between 35000 and 40,000 people passed through the turnstiles during the day.The crowds at the big show have been increasing every day and yesterday was the banner attendance so far this year.What the attendance to-day will be is a proposition hard to guess, but should the weather favor the occasion, all records will undoubtedly be broken.So far the attendance for the first four days has exceeded the total for the same period at any previous Quebec Exhibition.There are so many interesting events every day and the attractions sre so great that the crowd seems to be going again and'again.The Midway is one of the most attractive that has ever been seen here, the industrial palace is almost over- erowded with exhibits, the cattle, horse, sheep and swine show has never been excelled.Farmers Come In Crowds, From early morning the farmers from outside points came in great numbers.They came early and stop- ed till late, and they seemed to #n- for all that was to be seen.They stood amazed at the spiels of the \u201cbally-hoos,\u201d they looked with interest at the displays of the big manufacturers, but they got together in the agricultural building and compared notes.Some of Yesterday's Events.There were many intersting events at the big show yesterday, One of the principal ones was the entertainment of the members of the Montmagny Agricultural Society by Mr.D.O.Lesperance, M.P for the County.The visitors were given à dinner at noon on the grounds by the popular member, some 200 residents of Montmagny, who had arrived by special train, being in attendance.(Continued on Page Nine.) The Quebec Chronicle FUNERAL OF GENERAL BOOTH CANADA IS THE CHIEF SUFFERER SAYS BOURASSA Nationalist Leader Says Panama Question Will Be Settled at Dominion\u2019s Expense.Montreal, Aug.28\u2014In to-day's Devoir, Henri Bourassa, leader of the French-Canadian Nationalists, deals with the attitude of the English and Canadian press with regard to President Taft's message on the Panama Canal legislation.He says: \u201cIt may be taken for granted that this turmoil will end, as all previous Anglo-American imbroglios, at Canada\u2019s expense\u2014for it is Canadian sea- traffic that will suffer most from the discrimination made in favor of American coasting.\u201cIt will be \u2018settled\u2019 as the Maine and Ohio boundary disputes, the Atlantic fisheries, the Alaskan boundary, the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, were oll settled.\u201cProm my first stay in London in 1901, and from personal conversation with various British statesmen and publicists, I have come to the definite conclusion that the Imperial Government, with any party in power, wil! stand anything rather than risk a conflict with the United States.\u201cI am not, however, to be counted among those Canadians who charge British statesmen with criminal neglect or cowardice because of their passive, and even at times submissive attitude towards the arrogance of the Yankees.They believe, and rightly so, I think, that even if victorious, Great Britain would gain nothing by a war with the States, whilst she would make tremendous fuancial losses and run the risk of famine and social revolution at home, America Laughs at England.\u201cThis is known in Washington better than in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto, where we lay deep in the narrow quictness and childish pretensions of our colonial irrespons- ibilitys Co \u201cNo wonder, therefore, that Americas sulers, indifferent as they are to all precepts of international honer and integrity, should laugh at England's protests.As to Canadian wail.ings, they mind tiem no more than the complaints of the remnants of Indian tribes.\u201d The writer then says that England has encouraged the United States in its cynical attitude by giving it its moral support in the war with Spain and by its spoliation of the Boer republic in the Boer war, and concludes: (Continued on Page Twelve.) CICIEIEIEIEIEIICICIEILIICILAICIIIS IPICKPOCKETS REAP HARVEST IN QUEBEC Ply Their Trade on Street, In Cars and at the Exhibition Grounds, Pickpockets are plying their trade everywhere in and about the city of Quebec these days.On the Quebec and Levis ferries, at the Exhibition grounds, on the street cars, and even on the public streets they are working and have succeeded in reaping quite a rich harvest.So far a number of strangers in the city have reported that their pockets have been picked, while others who have also been victims have borne their losses in sitenee.Yesterday forenoon a stranger riding on the street car from the Lower to the Upper Town, was relieved of $140.A woman, wife of one of the Quebec street car inspectors, was mulcted of $7.This occurred at the corner of Palace and St.John streets, where the woman was waiting in the midst of a crowd for a car.She was jostled, and in the meantime some crook deliberately opened her satchel and abstracted the money therefrom, which she later missed when she discovered her satchel open and her purse gone.Of course she did not catch the thief in the act, and was not able to say whom he was.A farmer from St.Henri, County ot Levis, was another vietim in a crowd on St.John street, and later complained that he had lost $2/.Flock to Exhibition Grounds.The exhibition grounds are the mecca for the visiting thieves, but very few complaints nave been heard trom the strangers who have come to town to see the sights, though there may be losses that have not been reporteo.Besides, a close watch is kept on the suspicious lovking persons by a number of detectives from a Montreal private detective agency.The greatest danger for people to guard against is the mixing in with crowds either on the street, on the cars or at the exhibition grounds, as this is the piekpocket's opportunity.They work together in (wos and threes and their work easy.No DO NOT ACCEPT SUBSTITUTES for 9 dealer SHOULD BE \u201cOut of stock\u201d.NO OTHER ink is\u2018Just as good!

though the former seems to have taken Mr.Arthur Grenfel, the leader of the party, to task for breathing even the least little whisper that the people of England were puzzling themselves over a certain \u201cGerman war scare,\u201d as every sensible man in the world is doing.Perhaps, when the capitalists comme oùr way, où their return to Eng- Jand, with their minds made up as to what they gre going to do with their money, Quebec may enter » protest against the shabby way our status, as a city and heaport, has been treated by them.\u2018 Perhaps gomebody will discover before the week is out that the Bordea Ministers advised them to have nothing to do with Quebec, the Hon.L.P.Pelletier being one of them on his way to the place prepared for him by the Libéral underworld critics.GET DOWN TO THE QUESTION.The :Chemnigle, is very glad ineed that its English\u2019 evening contemporary admits that Mr.Fitzhugh is not a mythical personage, and that his statement before the railroad com- mittes of the Massachusetts General Court that the Grand Trunk and the Grand Trunk Pacific are two distinct corporations is true.Now let's come down to the case cards.Just what is the bearing upon the future of Quebec 28 a seaport of these statements by Mr.Fitzhugh?\u201cThe Grand Trunk Pacific intends to carry out its obligations to the government in good faith, but as far as the Grand Trunk is concerned, they are acting independently of the Grand Trunk Pacific.\u201d \u201cWe (the Grand Trunk) have throughout the Dominion of Canada .a large staff of traffic officials who are soliciting traffic for our railway line, and with the Grand | Trunk terminal at Boston there will, of course, be a greater effort made to bring into that port, and over these through rails, an increased traffic.\u201d sored meme English Levers We have recently secured the services of a trained English mechanic, who will attend to the repairing of English Lever Watches and English Clocks.Any one possessing an English time-piece that is out of order should send it to us, or telephone and our man will call By ascuring thoroughly skilled workmen we are doing our utmost to provide a first-class repair department, and the ever increasing amount of repairs that we are receiving is evidence of the satisfaction of our emer AE If'you have a watch or clock to repair, send it to us Wesalso repair opera glasses, cameras and music - We-refinish and silver plate spoons, forks and all kinds ofielectro plated table wares, Old jewellery we remodel, repair and refinish almost like new.T7 We buy old gold jewellery and antique solid sil- vet wares, or we will accept such articles as part pay: ment for new goods.\u201c G.Seifert & Sons \\ Jewellers 16 FABRIQUE STREET QUESEC [| | place if, when the Transcontinental Railway is completed, a shipper routes his grain by that road, te be shipped to Europe from the port of Quebec, the Grand Trunk Pacific will recognize the legal obligation.But in the mesn- time, according to Mr.Fitzhugh's own words, the freight solicitors of the Grand Trunk system are soliciting this traffic to be shipped through the port of Boston.Let's get at the meat of the question.What are the intentions of the Grand irunk in relation to shipments from the port of Quebec when the Cochrane-Quebee section of the transcontinental is completed?\u201cPLL BE PANAMA'D!\" There is an elbow-room about our modern English which readily gives to a new phrase, when the phrase is pertinent in its connotation.For instance, there is no phrase so pertinent in its meaning to the greatest of all questions at present before the Canadian world as, \u201cI would like to be an ally of British safety.\u201d And now a correspondent of the Montreal Star would have some such expression as the above to be used as a memorial of what has been taking place over the Panama affair.As un easy substitute for a direct profanity, it sounds all right; while as an embodiment of the crooked moral eyesight of certain Senators and President William H.aft, it is appropriate to the last syllable, and safe enough to perpetuate as a protest for all time against international trickery.When the Panama Act is being finally brought before the Hague Council of Peace, the way may be blocked by some dickering Senator protesting against its presentation before that august body with the expression, \u201cI'll be panama'd if I do,\u201d and then the world will learn that the last of his nation has been convinced of the unseemliness of the conduct of its representatives in spitting upon the Hay- Pauncefote Treaty.) An obligation is still recognized Ir tommercial circles as an obligation; and the merchant who thinks it is a something to be broken whenever it suits him is sure to be \u201cpanama\u2019d\u201d in time by himself in the commercial world.How many | \u2018men have made thelr pile by a crooked way of doing business, but, alas, how they have \u201cpanama\u2019d\u201d themseives all the same.And certainly the Americ can nation at the present moment fs more in danger of being \u201cpanama'd\u201d than any netipp whore ships are te | SRT be boycotted from making use of the Panama Canal when onge it is npened, The whole question now stands in sbeyance, but the aperoptiste\u2014phsase remains.\u201c1 would bé an ally of Brit ish safety!\u201d seems to have ten hundred per cent.more of à patriotic favor about it than \u201cI'll be papama'd if | de!\u201d though pegchance the one phrase\u2019 is 4 corellary of the Shes aan ured in an appropgi ds ropémsent- \u2018ing the attityde of the Twise and pry» dent\u201d of Calsdian peliticians, with one eye on the Motherland and the other on Uncle Sam.A din eg THE ENQLISHMAN IN CANADA.Mr.Arthur Racey, the well-known cartoonist, once made for the Montreal Star a series of cartoons in which the Englishman it Canada had not 3 little fun poked st bim, all, of course, in a good-humored Cansdian way.Now the St, John's News takes that gentleman under the wing of his advice, prempted doubtless by what has been said of him in more than one paper, since the day some Western farmer put, at the end of an advertisement for welp, the rather insulting remark that no newly arrived Englishman in Canada need apply for the job.And this is how the News treats the subject: \u201cWhy do you dislike Englishmen in Canada?\u201d asked an Englishman in Toranto the other day.The reply was that we do not dislike Englishmen iu Canada.Sothe: of wp may dislike some Englishgen.Perhahs that is our misforture; perhaps it is thelr fault.The only Englishman who is disliked in Capada because be is an Englishman ir she.Eiglishmen who never lets any pne forget that he is an Englishman, We have tliousands upon theusands ef Englishmen who do let us forget it, and we wish we had thousands upon thousands more of them.The other day a certain former Torentosn, now a resident of Vietoria, B.C, and a gentleman of high at: tainments ond prominent position, was in the Colonist office.He said that some people had called upon him in British Columbia to ask him to form a Toronto Society.His reply was to the following effect: \u2018I came here to better my position.1f 1 had been satistied with Toronte 1 would have stayed in Toronto.I don't see any reason why, as a Torontoan, 1 should scgregate «myself from my neighbors, I am a British Columbisn.1 will join a British Columbia society if you get one up\u2019 That is the spirit, and if Englishmen in Canada would get a little of it inta their mental attitude towards this country and ita people, they would find themselves better off.\u201cBut some will ask: Woulé yon have us forget the land of our birth?Not by any means.We only ask you to remember the land of your adoption.You must learn to take Canada as you find it.In some respects you may find it cédé We knaw its crudities quite as well as you do.There are many.things we do differently from the way you have been agcus- tomed to seeing them done.You need not take the trouble to tell us so, for it will not make the least difference.Your ways are the ways of an old country.When we go to Rome we are apt to get ourselves disliked if we insist on not doing what Rome does.\u201cWe repeat, adds our Victoria contemporary, and would like to publish it throughout the United Kingdom, that, \u2018of all people, Englishmen, including in the world all the people of the United Kingdom, are more welcome in Canada than any other people.They make the best possible citizens, neighbors and friends, except in the small minority of cases where they are constantinly reminding us that they realize they are in \u2018the Colonies,' either by telling us so or by theig unwillingness to fall in with Canadian ways\" If the Chronicle would be allowed to chime im with the News in what it has to say about the English just arrived, we would also chime in with it to the effect that no immigrant has in him a safer idea of citizenship than the Englishman, when once he learns his lesson that a colonial dependency is neither a foreign country nor a place where only the crudest of notions of life are entertained.When the \u201cwise and prudent\u201d Englishman arrives in Canada, there is no Bitter fellow to be met with anywhere.\u201cTHAT EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN.\u201d Such is the kindly way in which the Montreal Witness speaks of the Hon.Sydney Fisher's campaign of arraignment.But it has a suggestion to make that the said campaign of arraignment should he followed up by a missionary effort smong the children themselves in order to induce them to demand better rural schools for their better schooling.This is certainly a cappipg stone to the ignorance that prevails about the function of an educational department.The people themselves have never of THE QUEBEC CHRONICLE, oo better schiooly witheuy being shown the way to do it by administrative suggestion and enfarced regulation | Whereas the.vary campaign which Mr, Fisher \u201chas been philathropié enough to father, is neprly svarvbody who has spoken of it, qutside of Mr.Fisher's personal sympathizers, to have been inaugurated 4) à time of the year altogether unsuifible for the people te go out and hear what he and they had to say an the subject.As an unbiased non-professional writer has said of the ill-conceived movement, \u201cEnthusiasm over the subject of éducation might passibly be difficult to secure at any time.It is not so pertinent à question as that of food, clothes, or potataes, or oats, or the price of milk and butter and cheese.Besides, the farmer has never besu in love with taxes.The half-hearted rural school, as every one can see, is not in earnest, snd means nothing\u2014from the | dispirited and unqualified teacher to the frowsy approaches\u2014but to get the listless day in, and the poor opin: ion about it has multiplied itself among the minority of the province with hopeless effects.\u201d And who knows all this better than our eduea- tional authorities, backed up as their knowledge is by the ever-reewsring complainings of the school inspectors in their annual reports?Give over your preaching, the tax-payer, has said in every province, and show ug the way the thing is to be done! And the prastical professional maw has stepped forward and has shawn them thé way to have better schaols, | in every civilised country in the world.There have, or course, been difficulties to overcome, but these difficulties have tinally been overcome, and in the conditions in the Province of Quebec can be overcome if the policy of saying \u201cWe cannot do it ourselves, and we wou't let anybody else da it,\u201d did not so often prevail.In a word, there has always been at the initial stages of educational reform in every country more unwillingness to inaugurate changes by the administrative body than to accept them on the ted.As we have already said, the Fisher campaign of arraignment of the people in the rural parts of our province is pelther more nor less than an arraignment of the rducstional authorities themselves.For instance, what school reform is there in such à diatribe against the farmer as the following: \u201cTradition sets him (the farmer) forth, in all countries, as penurious, close-fisted, elinging te his dollars with the eager clutch of à miser\u201d?And what of à school reform is there in a nonsensical pleading with the children themselves, as advised by the Witness, to have them demand better schools of their own over-mis- erly parents?Now, we may be sure, it will be the Chroniele that is to be the peo country schools and those whose duty it is te look after them in a philanthrepic, practical way, and not merely by specius theorizing and silly complaining.The improvement of our highways, no more than the equipment of our harbor, is an enterprise not confined solely to governments.The people themselves must do something by way of co-operation, if the government and its officials will only take the trouble to show the people the way they can share in the philanthropic work.In the matter of the improvement of the highways in the vicinity of Quebec, we are expecting the auto- mobilists of the place to take the matter up with the Road Trust, with a probe of the \u201claisser faire\u201d of the latter body from any one who can produce any effect, resident or transient, automobile or carter, village, municipality, town council or provincial government.If there are no outer-bred pickpockets around Quebec during exhibition week, there are some :nner-bred ones, and they are allowed to stand on the platforms of the pay-as-you enter car, right ie presence of the conductor.There should be no overcrowding allowed at the entrance to à car, however it may be filled inside, fior any over-crawding at the exit, either.It is there when the pickpocket gets in his work.tn 2 mea It looks as if Colonel Roosevelt will have to take refuge from Mr.Archbold's statements, as the Detroit aldermen are doing with the aceusa- tions that have brought these latter gentlemen in sight of jail.He will have to claim that the hundred thousand dollars paid by the Standard Oil people was à contribution to the election fund on his side of the house.In Canada here there are election funds and election funds, but no one ever heard from a Liberal that the Liberal election fund was a sink of iniquity, or a Conservative sighing over the Conservative election fund being too themaelves been in at the makiog of larga (CURED OF THIS confessed by |.!

in the same hall twenty-two\u2019 yegrs ago this coming October.The most solemn momerdof the long meeting was when the coffin was borne along the centre of the hall to the sonorous music of the Dead March from \u201cSaul\u201d A small procession representing masy branches of the Afmy\u2019s activity, includ- Ing men and women, and a detachment of officers from the foreign branches, carrying the flags of their respective countries, preceded it.Immediately bgfore the body a brigadier bore aloft the crimson flag which the Ceneral raised at Jerusalem and us- der which he died at Hadley Wood.Following i} marched the officers from \u2018 Canada, Sweden, Germany, America.Switzerland, France, Denmark, Norway, India and Austral asia, Then came the new General, Bramwell Booth, with his wife, each wearing the uniform of s commissioner: Mrs.Booth; Helberg, snd the grand children ot the late Sulvationist, Adjutant Catherine Booth, Captain Mary Booth, Captain Miriam Booth, Cadet Bergesnt Bernard Booth and Cadet M.Booth Tusker.Couldn't Hold \u2018Oral Bervics.The coffin was covered with a flag and on it resicd the General's Bible and eap.The slow progress along the centre aislé occupied more than ten minutes; during which time the immense audience femained standing and all the Salvation soldiers were at salute.N The vastness of the Olympia made it impossible to conduct the service by word of mouth, More than half of its thirty-three wumbess, however, were familiar Salvation songs which the many thousand-voiced chorus sang with a mighty volume of sound and with militant earnestness.Every seat on the floor and in the galleries was taken.Severs! thousands of persons were banked around the outskirts of the hall, half of whom could not see over the shoulders of those in front, but who could hear and take part in the service.When the bands began with the very well known revival hymn \u201cThe Better World,\u201d then phe ocean of voices took up the strain of \u201cThere iss Better World, They Say, Oh, So Bright.\u201d and .sang three stanzas of the hymn with nathing of the accompaniment able to make itself heard save the booming of the big drums.Impressive Coming of Catafalque.Whea the echoes of the las, bars had died-sway a placard bearing the figure dhtee was elevated and all bowed their heads in silent prayer.broke into the \u201cDead March\u201d and.sll the thousands rose and turned toward the far entrance, where appeared a cluster of white tipped flags.Amid reverent silence the white catafalque was wheeled along the aisle to a position in front of the platform, where Its escort broke to the-right and left and mounted the steps.Bramwell Booth immediately reached his chair where he fell to his knees and buried his face in his nands.The assembly then sang to the tune of Belmont \u201cDear Saviour I.can ne'er.repay the debt of love I Que\u201d.Commissioner Lawley, the late General's right hand man, who aec- companied him on all his travels for 22 years, made a brief extemporaneous prayer, and this was followed by the hymn \u201cPass me not, O Saviour,\u201d which was sung with deep feeling.Commissiener Adelaide Cox offered prayer, and with a great murmur of voices everyone repeated the Lord's Prayer.A brigade of Salvation choristers sang \u201cWhen the rol! is called in Heaven and the hosts shall muster there,\u201d after which Commissioner Higgins led in responsive reading from Revelations, chapters 7 to 9, which was followed by the singing of another hymn.Read From General's Writings.The congregation then read silently from books several extracts of the late General's writings, the reading being intergpersed by hymns, one sung by children and another by all the women in the hall.Silent reading, alternating with Salvation Army revival service was eonducted by Mr.Howard, with invitations to sinners and backsliders to come to \u201cthe mercy seat.\u201d Benches had been reserved on both sides of the platform, surmounted by mammoth signs, bearing the words \u201cThe merey seat.\u201d While thousands sang \u201cCome Sinner, Come.\u201d dozens of persons forced their way through the crowdeg,aisle to the mercy seats on either pide of the platform, where they knelt beside the officers who had been selected to teceive them.In some cases the police were required to force.a.way.for the penitents.Most of the converts were of a type usually found at the Army meetings, but among them were several well dressed people.As the penitents went forward the singing, shouts of encouragement and amens increas ed in volume until the Olympia was turned into @ volosial eld-fushioned revival.Bramwell Booth Leads Singing.Striding back and forth on the platform Gergral Bramwell

Page Eight.) commended the creation of a Bureau of Health, in which should be embraced all those Government agencies outside of the War and Navy Departments which are now directed toward: the preservation of public health or exercise functions germane to that subject.I renew this recommendation.I greatly regret that the agitation in favor of this bureau has aroused a counteragitation against its creation, on the ground that the establishment of such a bureau is to be in the interest of a particular school of medicine, It seems to me that this assumption is wholly unwarranted, and that those responsible for the Government can be trusted to secure in the personnel of the bureau the appointment of representatives of all recognized schools of medicine, and in the management of the bureau entire freedom from prejudice in this regard.\u201d The source of the opposition to the bureau is well known and thoroughly despised by intelligent peopte.It has been encouraged in the past by an apparent unwillingness somewhere to enforce the provisions of the Food and Drugs Act.It seems likely that this act will soon be strengthened and thus deprive the opposition of the sinews of war.It is fair to say that the establishment of a National health bureau is inevitable.[If other advocates lag by the way, the parents of the country will soon voice an irresistible demand.THE ADMISSION OF MENTALLY DEFECTIVE ALIENS.(From New York Medical Journal) The expert consensus at present is that insanity and feeblemindedness have their origin in an essentially defective stock; that heredity plays the most important role in the unfolding of these disorders.In our issue for July 27th, Dr.John B.MacDonald, in s communication entitled Heredity and Insanity, summarized the most advane- ed views upon this subject in the following words: \u201cThe studies of heredity and the startling deductions drawn from biometrical and Mendelian investigations seem to prove to the satisfaction of all thinking persons that the insanities (excopting the small part we | may call acquired insanity), feeble- mindedness, criminality, and like degenerative conditions, are simply hranches of one family tree defect.\u201d He goes on to prove that this defect is congenital and hereditary.Furthermore he shows that.making alt allowances for the increasing tendency to place mental defectives of all sorts In institutions, there is still no doubt that these cases are on the decided increase.Immigration is largely resonsible for : this increase.The reports of all our State institutions show that the alien population contribute more than their share to the common burden.That we have enough bad stock of our own without unnecessarily increasing it by the addition of alien defectives, should be apparent to scientific and patriotic Americans.There has lately been much agitation concerning the large number of feebleminded and :insane who have escaped the observation of.the examining physicians at , Ellis Island.There has been some : criticism of the professional lukewarmness of those in charge who could be (#0 unalert as to fail to insist on in- | creased facilities for examination.This criticism has borne some fruit.We are credibly informed that the staff of mental experts has been increased and that interpreters are now soine- what more available.Although the general improvement has been incommensurate with the exigencies of the situation, it has already produced very tangible results.During the last six months the number of detected insane and feebleminded has increased by leaps and bounds, until now, with the still totally inadequate facilities, it has reached the high water mark and will swell the list of the present year to exceed that of any previous year in the whole history of immigration.But on the very threshold of the new era stalks the spectre of official discouragement.Recent decisions of the secretary of Commerce and Labor have the practical effect of opening wide the doors to the very class which the increased vigilance of the examining physicians has sought to exclude.In February of this year there arrived from Russia a distinctly feeble- minded alien.Her condition was certified to by the examining physicians.But by various legal manoeuvres on the parts of her friends and relatives her deportation was postponed, until finally by department orders she was admitted ostensibly to visit a sick relative.Her visit still continues.In June another immigrant arrived who was so frankly imbecile that the steamship company was fined $100 for bringing her.This alien was also admitted hy department orders, on the ground that her father being 8 naturalized citizen, she was constructively a resident of the United Staten from the moment when she left her own home.In a similar case, tried before Mr, Justice Day of the Supreme Court, January 7, NADA MADEIN CA deu Your youngsters can take good pictures with a BROWNIE Simple to the last

native, it should not be forgotten that they have a still larger duty to perform in preaching the broad principles which underlie the proper preservation of the public health.Viewed in this light, our knowledge of heredity teaches us that the law against the admission of mentally Jefective aliens should be rigidly enforced.The law itself should be so extended as to exclude not only defective nonresident children of naturalized parents, but also prevent the landing and naturalization of the parents of such children.For even though these parents may he normal themselves, the fact that they have mental- Iy defective children shows that they carry the tainted germ plasm and thus make possible dangerous additions to our already large defective population.\u2014 Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S
