Frank Glushenok, farmer, Route 2,
Yanic, Conn., has purchased many
horses from Cohen & Alex during 1915
and 1916. He always had them test
ed by the same veterinarian, Dr.
Griessman. They had always been
shipped through the hands of the
State officials on Dr. Grlessman's cer
tificate.
There was nb reason why on gray
mare, blind left eye, flea-bitten, ten
years old, sixteen hands high, free
from slanders, should not have been
shipped to him Friday, February 9,
• 1917.
Dr. Greissman, however, had filed
charges against Dr. Gill, who pre
viously had honored all of Dr. Greiss
man's certificates.
• While these charges remained sec
ret Gill accepter tho Kreissman cer
tificates. Within four hours after they
had been made public Gill rejected
them. Dr. Greissman's name had sud
denly disappeared from the approved
list.
The public must derive small meas
ure of consolation from its knowledge
that while it was kept uninformed
concerning the relaUons of Dr. Gill
Mr. Dr. Kreissman, Dr. Greissman's
certificates were "good," whereas the
moment the facts were aired Dr.
Greissman's certigcates became
"worthless."
The politics that thus discriminated
against a servant of the people who
appreciated the meaning of his oath
ot' office knew when it announced its
excuse for rejecting his certificate
that he was a qualified member of
the New York Veterinary Medical As
sociation.
It knew that he had been passed
by the Board' of Censors of the New
York State Veterinary Medical Asso
ciation.
It knew that he had ben legally
licensed and legally registered.
It knew that he had served with
Professor Williams of Cornell on the
prosecuing committee of that asso
ciation.
It knew that on the strength of his
certificates it ahd tagged, strapped,
and authorized for shipment hundreds
of hqrsps from New York State to all
the other States of the Union.
It knew that the inner circle had
never been able to muzzle him; had
never been able to rest easy upon the
reliance that he would stand by, si-

• lent and inactive, while the wires of
special privilege, dishonesty, and in
competence were being pulled for the
benetit of a few at the expense of the
many.
It knew that on the strength of his
rejected certificates $3,169.33 of the
! State's money had ben paid to fif-
I teen horse owners during 1916 alone.
It knew that his certificates had
: been approved on eighty-seven oc
casions involving the testing of 217
horses between the dates of Janu
ary 2, 1916. and February 8, 1917.
It knew that no question had ever
been raised regarding his integrity.
It knew that ho was exactly the
same sort of veterinary February 9,
1917, as he had been since the re
gents of New York admitted him to
practice July, 1909.
It knew that he had annually regis
tqrd himself pursuant to law show
ing his continued good standing in
j his profession.
It knew that an annual certificate
had been issued to him by the State
authorities since the date of his ad
mission to practice.
Yet it suddenly discovered, or pre
tended to discover, that Dr. Griess
man's name was not on the "approv
ed list."
The boldness of this effort to disci
pline a man who refused to play poli
tics in the performance of his public
duties reveals more than any other
one episode within my knowledge the
brazen contempt manifested by poli
ticians either for public decency or
public welfare.
In the Russianizing of one depart
ment of State government the abuse
of authority in injuring a citizen who
dares to criticize the tyrannical acts
of his superiors menaces the integrity
of every person of the veterinary pro
fession.
It is to the veterinary that we must
look for the protection of the health
of our animal industry.
Yet the Glll-Griessman episode
serves notice upon all veterinarians
that they are not fre agents; that
thy are subjects to official oppression;
that they must not, dare not, and can
not carry on the work for which their
special education equips them and to
which their oath of office commands
them.
Says High Wage For
U. S. Sailors Will
Handicap America
New York, March 12. Higher
wages paid sailors on American as
compared to English merchant ships
(will handicap this country at tho
close of the war in its competition
with England for commercial su
premacy of the seas, according to Dr.
George Sidney Webster, of the Ameri
can Seamen's Friend Society. Dr.
Webster's opinions are based on ob
servation in a number of American
ports and especially in the port of
New York where a large Sailor's
Home is maintained on the North
river waterfront.
"The increased merchant ship pro
duction in this country," says Dr.
Webster, "will not of itself give the
United States a commercial suprem
acy of the seas, although in 1916 the
output for probably the first time in
history approximated that of Great
Britain.
This increased production will not
entirely fly under the American Hag,
but even a large percentage of the
ships which should be under Ameri
can ownership will be under foreign
registry at the end of the war, when
the protection afforded by the Ameri
can flag is no longer necessary and
the lower wages paid on foreign ships
will offer a great inducement for for
eign registry."
Germany's Dream of
Empire Not Ended
London, March 14. "Germany's
aim to extend her dominion from
Antwerp to the Indian Ocean Is by
no means defeated and will not be
defeated until the end of the war,"
said Earl Curzon, member of the Brit
ish War Council and former viceroy
of India, In the House of Lords the
other day in reply to a question by
Lord Bryce, former ambassador to the
United States. Lord Curzon said that
while the Turks still are in possession
of 30,000 square miles of territory in
Persia, the Russian troops are barring
their further advance in that country.
Persia was the scene of trouble
soon after the outbreak of war. The
popular theory in this country is that
It was engendered by German agents
with a view to furthering Germany's
dream of a dominion from the At
lantic coast to the Indian ocean.
In explaining the state of things in
the near East, Lord Curzon said that
the prospect pf German success In
Persia was best in August last, but
that since then it had greatly lessened
so that now the situation there was
almost satisfactory to the British
government. To aid the Russians in
clearing out the Turks, Lord Curzon
said reinforcements are now being
sent from India and that it was hoped
to restore order there before many
months.
"We seem to be in a fair way,"
continued Lord. Curzzon, "to be con
solidating the position against the Ot
toman power. I cannot say that the
situation is altogether free from
anxiety. Turkish troops have still to
be turned out from the western por
tions of Persia. The southern part
and shores of the hinterland of the
Persian gulf are still in a state of
disorder, and the trade routes are not
yet all opened. But I think we may
say that the worst is over, and the
particular link Persia has supplied In
this great German chain of ambitions
has been forcibly twisted aside, if it
has not been broken."
King Decorates Irish
Chorus Girl For Pluck
London, March 14.—The Dublin re- I
bellion of Easter Monday last yiar
was recalled at Buckingham Palace
the other day when the King decorat- I
ed with the Military Medal Miss j
Louise Nolan, a chorus girl, for hero
ism in dragging wounded officers and
soldiers to safety under heavy fl're. I
The Inscription on the medal read:
"for bravery in the field."
Miss Nolan was coming home from
her music lessons in Dublin on Easter
Monday when she heard firing and
saw wounded men lying in the street.
Throwing down her music roll, she
ran to them and dragged them to
safety. Although soldiers were killed
beside her, the girl returned to help
more wounded and then ran through
a hall of bullets to get brandy for
them.
Describing her visit to Buckingham
Palace to receive her reward. Miss
Nolan said: "A gentleman came to
tell me what to do and how to 30ur
tesy to the King. He was very nice
and then my name was called and I
wan shown Into a beautiful room
which was all In red, and there I saw
the King. He pinned the medal on
my dress and shook me warmly by
the hand, and I took good care to give
him a good shake of the hand In re
turn. T was very proud to hear him
speak my name."
