lAt the President Oft This Out of
Ills Mind!
Brett when fnce to face with such
concrete problems of InternHtlotiul
policy as confront him to-dny Presi
dent, Wilson continues to cherish a
mistaken Idea.
He la not the President of Humnn-
!ty; he Is the President of the United
BUtes.
His duties are not vague and gen
eral, or diffused throughout the earth
In the- performance of what he Is ac
customed to Btylo "service." Ills du
ties .aro specific, they are confined to
the Interests of the United States,
and they are dctlncd by the laws of
the United States, not the general
moral law.
If he will pot out of his mind
the confusion of olUclal responsibility
which he manifested In his speech at
the Jefferson Day banquet, the dltll
cult task now confronting him will
becomo less dlfllcult.
Bloedstnnlf .
Without entering Into the Interest
ing etymological discussion aroused
by the characterization of his Ameri
can hosts ns "bloedslnnlg" In the
correspondence of the elllclent and
highly successful Von Paten, Tub
Sun feels that It should be recorded
nt this time injustice to the departed
guest thnt his admittedly derogatory
opinion of the Yankee Intellectuals
was not without a defensible basis In
iisccrtiilin-il fact.
It Is imw revealed that at the time
tho' Von Papon estimate of American
reasoning eupaelt.v and power of
Judgment was funned and recorded
the critic nf our mental processes was
possessed of an Intimate knowledge
of certain proceedings, plots, conspir
acies, then forming and afoot, Intoler
able In t I it'll purpose, and beyond
toleration In any other land setting
Itself up ns civilized. Von I'.vpkn
wntehed shall we say with paternal
solicitude? the progtess of these
vicious undertakings; and as h
watched, he must have marvelled.
Beyond doubt It was tho wonder
aroused In his mind by the blindness
of the authorities anil license en
Joyed' by the conspirators that Im
pelled him to set down the uncompli
mentary Judgment the "rare and
Mfe" messenger did not succeed in
delivering at its private Kiiropeau
destination.
As the unprejudiced citizen contem
plates tho belated revelations of In
cendiary nnd murderous designs to
which nn Inodiiquate but not unskil
ful police Is now treating the com
munity, can he tlnd it in Ills heart io
sny that Von Papkn, watching the
successful development of the engine
of destruction to which America gave
Ignorant and careless domicile, was
not well within the bounds of fact
when he applied the adjective bloed
slnnlg to those; who permitted It?
The Control of Cancer.
A wont number of the iteilkal
Timet refers to the "ratifying result
of measures undertaken In Porls
mouth, Knclnnil, for the education of
the public In the control of cancer.
Among these the chief clement ap
pears to have been one thin Thk Sl'N
hns constantly noticed; the Impera
tive necessity nf suspecting every
growth or tumor as malignant und
obtaining Immediate opinion from a
trustworthy phjslclnn with regard to
Its nature.
We have repeatedly pointed out
that while no Imrin could result from
thin early utteiiilon to what appears
to' bo an Innocent growth, liccuiiso of
,ils freedom from ptiln, its removal
nmy, in the event of lis being pro
liolliiceil iiiiillglintit', save the life of
the Inilhidiml.
It Is gratifying to report that the
eU.v of I'Dlisinoiith has demonstrated
tlio priictlcnl vitliie of Ibis jirei'iiti.
tloiinry measure. The minim! report
of "Dr. rn.Ni:u, the Medical Oilieer
of Health, for tie' vetr KM l, stales
that there were only 1!)7 deaths from
cancer In l'ortsinoutli In thnt year, us
compared with liili) In HIKI; despite
the fact that the population hits been
greatly increased. When the educa
tional measures were put In force In
1013 tho cancer death rato of tho city

deaths from cancer In the history
of that city.
Tht methods adopted hy the Health
Deportment Included the monthly nub-
Jetton In tha local newspapers of
. : i
articles regarding cancer and the
printing and distribution nf n circular
upon this subject. Periodical lecturftH
were given to tnldwlves, nurses and
social workers. They also offered
gratuitous microscopic examinations
aim reports on suspected cancerous
growth, In order to assist physicians
In Immediate diagnosis, In the case
of patients who are unable to pay for
laboratory service. It was discov
ered that the reason for delay In seek
ing advice was not, us Is usually sup
posed, fear of oeriitlon, hut Igno
rance of the nature of their disease
by reiiMin of Its painlessness.
The fact that the beginning of can
cer Is usually not signalized by pain
should be Impressed upon the public
with reiterated emphasis, because In
the present stnte of our knowledge
the most successful management of
this terrifying malady Is early surgi
cal removal.
What Might Have Been.
The tvlebrntlon nf the playwright's
tercentenary In this country must
seem Incomplete to those American
theatregoers who have lived without
the opportunity to witness some of
the beauties of Shakespearian Inter
pretation which have long been prom
ised to them. These wonders of the
actor's art were held before the eyes
of the public ns possible achieve
ments of our native players. Now It
seems us If after all the.se golden
dreams were not to be realized.
It Is Improbable for various rea
sons that Sarah Bkknhaudt will play
I'omro even to the .itiVf of M.vrnp.
Adams. It seems now as If the time
for the fultilment of this promise had!
passed, for even the Indefatigable
French actress might refuse to under
take the rflle of the Montague lover.
Miss A ii a Ms has never evinced any
desire to return to her Interpretation
of Juliet, although It was nnnouueed
regularly thnt'the union of these two
players was to he nn Important Inci
dent of the theatre year.
And the Hamlet of William Oil
i.kttk. It Is true that his admirers
feared he might piny the part with a
clgur In his mouth, but they neverthe
less nwnlted with eagerness the ap
pearance of the American actor In the
port. Assuredly he would have made
an Interesting version of the play.
"Flnmlet" with the Prince missing has
been heard of. But there would prob
ably have been nobody but Humid in
this performance had Mr. c;ii.lkttb
used the same method with Shakk
si'k.auk that he adopted last spring
with VirToniKN Sarikht. The stirring
news that the scenery for this pro
duction was already painted was once
coiNinuulcnted to a waiting world.
But Mr. (;ii.m:ttk has succumbed to
the lure of the camera, and If he ever
plays tho Prince of Denmark now It
will be In silence.
And the l.adu Macbeth of Mauik
1 ni:ss!.t:it why hns that stalwart
dramatic characterization never been
seen after Mis Dnrssi.ra's earnest
protestation that she would act the
rdio or was It? bust? Tbeit the

The Cicrman Campaign Against
Kngland's Foot Supply.
Mr. Itom.iiT I. Iliifsiov, member
for Liverpool, was right when he de
clared In the House of Commons on
Wednesday that the Zeppelin prob
lem was insignificant, so far at Kng
lnnd whs concerned, compared with
the menace of submarine warfare.
The time nitty come when Zeppelins
operating In lleets und currying Im
ineni (inutilities of explosives will
be able to lay Kngllsh cities In ruins
mid destroy great number-! of their
Inhabitants: but lit present I lit- dam
nge the Invaders do is negligible mid
tho I'lisiinltles Inllleled nre not very
iilaruilug.
The renewed submarine warfare
hits already caused heavy losses in
shipping nnd cargoes, and unless
checked it will seriously enibiirriiss
Croat llrlliiln In her conduct of the
war. Kvery day several Itritlsh and
neutral ships; are torpedoed, on some
dajs as ninny us six. The attacks
are not haphazard. They are made
on Information supplied In some mys
terious way by the German Intelli
gence department, ami when u ship
Is sunk she carries u valuable cargo
down with her Io the bottom. It
nmy bo war mnlerltil, but generally
It Is grain or other I' Mud's. Mr.
llot'Mu.N, wbi) W a shipowner, said
in Hie course of his speech:
"Hotween ono-thlrd and one-half of
the nation's food supply Is already com
ing on neutnil ships. If Gennany Is per
sistent In sinking every vessel crKoun
lered shn can frighten us. Already neu
Hals are shy about sending us cargoes."
No wonder, when a ship can pay
for herself In one voyage, so high nre
freight charges. Owner:, who have
made handsome prolits will prefer to
lay up their ships until the Allies
Iiiim; got the upper hum! of the sub
marines again, or owners) will with
draw from tin. wnr zone nnd seek
charters elsewhere, In tho South
Amerlcnn or Asiatic trade for In
stance. Jir, Hoi'hion reckons that
since the war begun IW0 oceangoing
British mcri'hiiiit ships have been
lost "from all causes." It follows,
therefore, that If neutrals should be
frightened nway from Itritlsh home
,,.. ,m t imu0iii . ..a
waters It would bo Impossible to find
enough British ships to bring to port
the foodstuffs required for dally con
sumption. tn Knglnnd no one now speaks
flippantly of the German "blockade."
Tho evidence of Its success nt the
present time Is writ too large. The
proportion of neutral ships sunk Is
noticeable; on some diiyn It Is fifty
per cent, or more. No suspected neu
tral vessel Is allowed to escape, and
a "dead set" Is made ugalnt the
Scandinavians. To spread pnnlc
among neutral shipping circles Is
clearly the purpose of the (lermun
Admiralty. Germany, too, Is looking
beyond the wnr. The more merchant
men she sinks, British and neutral,
the better for her Interests In com-1
merce after the wnr, assuming that
at the worst she will get a draw.
But the game has lis hazards. A
state of war with the United States
would deprive Germany of her In
terned fleet. American ships must
therefore, ns n rule, be allowed to
pass. Some of the Euronenn neutrals
If pushed too far might seize German
ships lying In their ports, but this
risk Is not formidable. There can be
no doubt thnt Germany desires above
nil things to maintain pacific rela
tions with the United States while
the campaign to cut down Great
Britain's food supply to a minimum
Is being ruthlessly waged. It Is plain
to be seen thnt Germany Is building
great hopes upon tho new warfare. As
a means of demoralizing the British
people It seems to he full of promise.
A One Round Encounter at Albany.
That Frank Moran, professional
pugilist, has something heroic In his
makeup was Indicated by his recent
clash of arms, fists, &c, with one
.Ikss Wili.arii, a superman of the
prize ring; hut Mohan's moral cour
age, It appears, Is even more remark
able than his physical.
Moban has had the nerve to go to
Albany, for the first time in his life,
and beard the opponents of tlstle en
counters In their legislative den. Con
fronting with gloved hands nnd bare
face Senator Jones, who has been ad
vocating a hill to abolish boxing ex
hibitions In this State. Morvn Insisted
that pugilistic encounters furnish to
the rnce the most practical method
for Its physical development.
The effort of Senator Jones to
counter this body blow was Ineffec
tive, nnd to escape further syllogistic
punishment tho legislator threw up
his hands und agreed to kill his untl
boxing bill at once.
When Mohan eventually wearies of
pugilism ho should go Into politics
and take his punch with him.

REPRESENTATIVE CAREW.
Has Ho Ileally Modified His Views
on Preparedness?
To Tim Kpitok or Tint Sun Sir: I
received, early In March, a circular let
ter from Mr. John F. Carew, dated
March 7, He Ih legally my rep
resentative In Congress. You commented
on this letter of ltepresentattve Carew
In your editorial columns and also pub
lished letters from several of his con-
utlt ticnta
; international anncumee, ftrinmin
irrliiitintix would fllsntiuear If 'wo had
such a system, and tho benefits to the
young men of the country, would pass
calculation." I think It Is useless to
cuinment upon that statement.
As Mr. Carew In bis letter dated
March 7. 191, to his constituents Indi
cated quite clearly that he had no re
gard for the "lives of American cltlictft
and saw no reason why he should aid
In upholding the honor of our country.
I seek Information from Tits Bun :
Has Mr. Carew now some little re-
anr, tnr Atnprlrnn lives? Has he HOW
. some Idea of maintaining the honor of
the country? Or Is he endeavoring-
to disarm criticism by maamg ois con
stituents now believe that he Is In favor
of being prepared to avenge the murder
i of our citizens and to maintain our
honor? Or Is he simply out io secure
credit for the profit which some of his
constituents may secure 'by necessary
expenditures for preparedness? Has he
really had a change of heart, or is he
still the cold blooded Individual who
looks with Indifference upon the mur
dnr of American citizens when travel-
ting, ns they bnve a right to do, or does
hi see that there is napney in u mr
some of his constituents, or does he
I... ,, ,l,.,il.it lnltpr llM Will
1 reinstall! himself' In the opinion of some
-V-nnnn f his constituents?
I, 1 nm Inclined to think that he found
$J'i'-.w? "' hlunder; 1 am Inclined to
.,a . m 'hlnk that he thinks he Is correcting
'isri ;T2 " hy his letter of April 7. and I am
. Inclined to think that none of his con
o'.I stltuents will be deceived In him nnd that
i m llu will n0t "sain receive their votes.
I 'Io not know what business or pro-
ffsaton Mr. Carew Is In, although T
have heaid rumors that he Is a lawyer.
If to. will not his friends urge upon
him to iro hack to his practice and tlrop
voluntarily a career In which he seems
to be such a signal failure?
