FRENCH FRIENDSHIP
The French government haa or- j
dered the Immediate release of the j
Germans recently removed from )
American Bhlps by the French cruis-'
er Descartes, This is the first |
re*l recognition of American neu- I
tral rights on the hiqh soas which J
has been accorded this country by I
any belligerent sincj the outbreak
... Of the great war and it should be
gratefully received iu this country
All other countries have ig-1
nored or overridden our rights, ap- |
parently believing that there is no
probability of anything more seri
ous coming from Washington than
protests.
France, in recognizing the prin
ciples of international law and Am
.. (Lrlcan ueutrai rights, has done so
. as a matter of friendship and
realizes that our friendship is
worth retaining. Quite probably
she also desires to naiutaln her
own historic friendship for this
country.

Typhoid has been eliminated from
the Kritish expeditionary force in
France io a degree without prece

/thoroughness which has taken the
mcst hopeful by surprise. Only
eighteen deaths have occurred from
ii, an a mat ract is more eloquent
than mv comparative statistics. The
immunity is due solely to the scien
tific measures which have been tak
en to prevent and to detect ^ the
disease,,and which after a brief
period of discouragement have thus
triumphantly vindicated their ac
ceptance and establishment.
The f'rst measure taken was that
of Inoculation against typhoid, aud
this has proved efficacious ia re
ducing the cases of true typhoid al
most to the vanishing point. The
second measure taken was thai of
employing the mcst Tefined methods
t® detect the disease in its earliest

"Turkey has an abundance of foods
and other materials oi all kinds
which she can supply to Germany
if Germany needs them," said Dr.
Xazim Bey, secretary of the
Young Turks' Committee, and one
oi Turkey's most prominent men,
on his Arrival at Berlin.
"'It is only a question of trans
portation, which seems to be In a
fair way of solution.
"There is no lack of anything in
Turkey. For example we have 30,
000,000 kilograms of cotton yhich.
Germany can have tho moment Bhq
solves the transportation problem,
not to speak of 10,000,000 kilo
grams of reserve supply in the
shape of mattresses and other ar
ticles in Turkish homes.
"The same is true of copper. Of
this wo i.ave at least 40,000,000 kilo
grams which Germany can have at
