Oarmany Baya It Would Interfere with the Dl. vine Right ol Klnge. Tho correspondent of the London "Dally News" at The Hague says: "I learn that Dr. Zorn, the tlermnn delegate, spoke on Friday against ar bitration. When I asked him for a copy of hi" speech I got a point blank refusal. Dr. Zorn saying: 'All I can tell you Is that Friday'" sitting w'ns ex tremely Interesting, nnd that I present ed Germany'" objections to tho scheme of a permanent arbitration tribunal.' "Notwithstanding this. I am able to say he asserted that he was Instruie'ed to say Germany could not accept the principle of permanent arbitration em bodied In Sir Julian l'auncefote's draft. She objected, firstly, on principle, and, secondly, on grounds of expedien cy. "He then proceeded to argue that It was derogatory to a monarch's sov ereignty, and to a nation's Independ ence. Arbitration agreed upon between two nations for a narrowly defined ob ject was one thing, and arbitration binding a nation for the unknowable future was quite another. A king, hold ing his title by divine right, could not think of divesting himself of an es sential part of his sovereignty, the right to shape the nation's course at a critical time. "Emperor William. Dr. Zorn said, would not pledge himself to bow to the decisions of the Judges not appointed by him on cases that had not yet arisen. These were the objections of principle. The objections of exped iency were on the score of expense and the possibility that the tribunal, under the rendering of Iniquitous derisions, might bring the principle of arbitration Into discredit. Dr. Zorn concluded his speech amid painful silence. "Hlr Julian Pauncefote, rcp'ylng. said he thought the objections of the Ger man delegate showed a view of state craft which many might consider not altogether modern. THE PARIS ABANDONED.

A REPORT ON ALCOHOL, All Doaea Below Two Ouncea Produce No Bad fcfttcte The first official announcement of the results of Professor Atwater's experi ments on the value of alcohol as a food, was mnde a few days ago In a circular Issued by the Mlddletown Siientllln Association. Professor At wnter, of Wesleynn College, Is the Uni ted States expert on alcohol. His ex periments prove that two ounces (four tHhlespoonsriil) of alcohol taken In 24 hours have no bad effect on a man. More than two ounces act as a poison. Th-sn particular experiments were conducted under thn auspices of a (ommlttei. of Ml for thn investigation of the drink problem, of which com mittee the Chairman Is Beth Low, Prrsldent of Columbia University end delegate to the Peace Congress at The Hague, Professor Atwnter experimented with persons who have drunk moder ately Hnd with those who "never tasted a drop." The results were the same. All doses below two ounces In 24 hours produced no bad effect at the end of the day: there wns no trace of alcohol on the breath: the body wns In the normal condition; the alcohol was completely oxidized, having been turned Into heat. As soon a" Professor Atwatnr learned that morn than two ounces was harmful he went no further In that direction. He had no desire to learn how much a mnn can drink, but how much ho can drink without hurt ing him. AN UNPATRIOTIC AMERICAN. German Officiate Would Not Permit Him to Eptak Siuringly ol the Prealdent.
