I
Washington. Sept. 5. That Presl- ;
dent Wilson favors universal military j
training and supports the Wnr Depart
ment's army reorganization bill creating
a peace time army of 57C.0O0 is thc be
lief of Oeneral Peyton C. March, chief
of staff.
He told the House military affairs
committee, furthermore, that world un
rest nnd the steps taken by other na- '
tions to maintain strong milltnry forces
make It necessary for the rnlteili
States to keep its relative strength. He
declared that If universal military
training is adopted an army of tho
size proposed would be essential.
General March said the War De
partment favored training the young
men for many years. "This is the first
time." he added, "an adminlstrat!otffsve
has come forward in approval."
Chairman Kshn asked If the Prcal
dent favored It.
"Secretary of War Baker had in
dorsed it," replied the chief of staff,
"and because of the secretary's position
It is fair assumption that the Presi
dent approves It, although I cannot
quote the President."
GERMANS BAUK AGAIN
Refusal to Transport Material for
Poland Reported to Allies
Cobleru. Sept. 5. - (Ry A. P.)
Fourteen hundred Polish soldiers who
came to the American nren for the pur
pose of transporting to Poland 0000
horses and mules which were purchased
from the United States army are being
held up Indefinitely near this city by
Germany's refusal to undertake super
vision of hauling troops nnd animals
across Germany by rail. The Germans
hold that the shortage of coal and lnck
of locomotives makes the task Impos
sible under present conditions.
Germany Is required to facilitate the
passage across Germany of all trains
and material Intended for the Polish
army, the peace terms making this
stipulation. Thc question of Germany's
refusal to move the Tollsh troops and
animals has been referred to the allied
council In Paris. Six thousand horses
and mules constitute the last of 11,000
animals sold the Poles by thc United
States Liquidation Commission.

Than Poultry or Hogs,
Says Dr. Rogors
CIGARETTES ARE DEFENDED
The tiger or mnn-cattng shark is a
much mallgne'd fish, very palatable, and'
a potential record-breaking reducer of
the II. C. of L.
Tho shark has a champion In Dr.
Allen Rogers, who spoke before thc
American Chemical Society today on
"Shark Meat as an Edible Product."
According to Doctor Hogers, the
shark, contrary to popular belief, docs
not like man flesh. In most cases the
shark won't cat man flesh even when
he can get It. He lives mostly on small
fish. When the shark follows ships In
schools, or after they graduate, when
traveling singly they eat much the same
food thrown overboard in the wake of
the ship as a hog or poultry would eat
If they could enjoy their food in the
sen. And tho shark, said Doctor Rog
ers, is much cleaner and more, careful
In his selection of food than cither the
hog or poultry.
"If the shark isn't such a cannibal
sort of fish," said Doctor Hogers, "and
if he is more particular about eating
unsound food than our friend thc hog
gcr Is, why eat pork and balk at shaA
as food? Why discriminate against the
shark?
Shark Sold as Crayfish
"The fact is that many folk nre eat
ing and using shark already and don't
know it. It is being sold as grayfish.
In New England they remove thc head,
tall and fins and sell It in Boston and
New York ns deep sea swordflsh. And
the skin is being mnde Into very serv
iceable leather and thc shark livers Into
valuable oils.
"Fishermen alone thc southern
const are wasting about 1000 sharks
uaiiy. 'iney throw them away ns use
less. And yet for a catch of 2000
sharks dally, at an average weight of
:w pounds each, you could get 400,000
pounds of fish, half of which would he
very edible and delicious food. That
would make about 73,000,000 pounds
of food more on our markets every
jear at about ten cents a pound. Anil

Cigarettes found defenders today
nmong the scientists gathered at the
convention.
Dr. A. D. Hirschfeldcr, in n dis
cussion before the biological section,
undertook to prove that cigarettes, If
not Inhaled, arc thc lightest form of
smoking.
He told of experiments in which thc
nicotine poison from cigarette, cigar and.
pipe wns drawn from the smoke into
wntcr nnd the. strength of the poison
tested on frogs.
While all smoke contains about an
equal amount of nicotine, if the same
tobacco is used and thc samo amount
of smoke passes through thc test, he

But, he said, this did not mean that
cigarette tobacco was really "milder"
than other kinds' of tobacco.
Contrary to a popular notion, he sold,
the light cigarette tobacco contained
as much nicotine as the heavier cigar
and pipe tobacco. The advantage to
the cigarette smoker, he 'explained, .was
that nicotine was not thrown off In
such great quantities In n short time
as when a man smokes a cigar or pipe.
War on patent "pirates" and sug
great part of today's session of the in.
dustrlal section of the society.
There wns a Tarled opinion among
scientists interested in patents as to
thc best means of warring against those
men who take out patfifts In general
terms not for the purpose of developing
an art, but to embarrass inventors and
manufacturers by demanding to b
bought off before any one else can work
on the lines Indicated.
Edward J. Prindlc, chairman ot thct
committee which arranged for the dls-
Icusslon, spoke against the annual fee
system.
"It would work In favor of the rich
man and corporation and against the
averogo Inventor." ha snld. "And
German patent holders' would gain an
advantage. If Germans hold patents
which enable them to suppress compct!-r
tlon, they will he careful to renew them,'
even though the fees were higher than
those proposed!
"If the Germans hold unimportant"
patents and let them lapse rather than-''
pay the fees, we gain nothing, for the
patents would boof no use to ns.. To
be worth while, the remedy for ob
icetionnblc conditions should check the
Germans, nnd at the same time not
injure us more than It Injures them."
