| ?' Commenting on one phase of this clash between the ideas tH
file new and the old world,, theWashington 'Star says': ' ?
I 'No consideration for the 'possibility of ruffling the feelings
of foreign governments evidently is* going, to deter the- United
jjitates from dismissing as unacceptable any diplomatic-officials
^accredited to this country who may be caught tampering with
American; rights or otherwise transgressing the rules* of intera
ctional courtesy or propriety r 1 .
"The United States-has-stood a great deal from the repre
itatives of warring powers who have been active in their prob
anda work for their governments, much of it of an obviously
iproper nature. It is well known that had it-been so minded
^government could long ago have caused the retirement fromj
his. capital of at least one if not several, of the subordinates atj
prtain embassies. . ..
', ."The Dumba case, however, brings matters to a-climax; and!
h&'tolerance with which-these activities have been endured is;
svidently exhausted. If the documents taken in England from:
Archibald are of the character reported, not only further diplo-j
natic dismissals, but, perhaps," prosecutions may follow, and in'
his course the administration will be fully sustained by the!

Medical-DiscoVeries Conquer-'Disease-.:-*
The* victories. which medical science has won over, disease,
have in very fewMnstancfes; if ever,been decided by a lucky chance.
Only by utilizing the accumulated ra6w)^dg^?6f ctoturi'es\and .aw
the information available from his contemporaries,, has the, inves-'
tigator been enabled to make significant discoveries leading to*'
the cure tfr prevention^ disease. a i .**<,*. ?.;> ??? ? ? it
Contributions,to the medical science'of today "come from the
most diverse sources. The physical chemist determines one fact,:
the pathologist another, the economist and a host of other special
ists n3>ke and, record their observations and the ihterpretatiops
which they-place upon theih. These, discoveries must/stand triaj
at the hands of contemporary workers along the same lilies. "If
they stand the test; they become incorporated into a working
hypothesis to be applied practically 'until niew discoveries show
it to be false in fact or interpretation, or place it in a,new light
where its application'may .be different, }u" > j-J '/xk '. / . r *
Thus in the case of the disease Which we know as malaria
(meaning "bad' air!!) the original observations that the disease
prevailed in swampy regions, and tended to die out when the
region was cultivated and improved, have stood the test of time and
still stand as facts. The interpretation, However, that the disease
was due to poisonous air arising from the swamps, has been to
tally disproved. The fact ia now well established that malaria is
carried by certain mosquitoes which,breed in th$j^$mp? ^Pre
