Although Admiral Lord Charles Ber esford did not mention Germany by name in a speech recently made at a luncheon given him by the Pilgrims of the United States at the Lawyers' club in New York, the men who heard him took it for granted that he had the kaiser's country in mind when he intimated that he feared a war for his country in the near future. His most direct hit was in the following sen tence, which came after a long argu ment in favor of an adequate British navy: : Personally I must confess that I am not at ease concerning the outlook for the immediate future. I can see red spots in the sky. And this: If England loses the supremacy of the sea she is doomed. That will be the end of the British empire. He supplemented that remark with this: - . A European war will set back the prog ress of fhe world 100 years. In his speech Lord iieresiora saia: I am going to be very brief, for I real ize that in this part of the town the time for some of you is worth JIOO.OOO a min ute. First let me speak of my recent trip, in Canada. One thing that delighted me was the cordial feeling I found among all classes toward the United States.

If we: were at war and the trude' routes were cut and there was any continued de lay 'in the arrival of our water borne ne cessities of life; that would mean the end of the British empire. All -other nations can. feed themselves out of their own fields or those of ad joining countries. ' For us everything' Is and always must be water "borne. For us It is a necessity, of life to have a navy that makes Our. trade routes sure. 1 do not speak of a navy big enough to win in war. I have :ln mind a navy so big that it will prevent war. A country's naval budget is the rate of insurance which that country pays for the security of its commerce. ;' But when the world notices that any one nation is paying a rate of insurance which on. the face of it - is- far in excess of what is necessary to protect its coast line ana Man Made III, In Doctor's Opinion by "Auto- Suggestion'' Must .

That hypnotism has been used' suc cessfully for several years in the treat ment of many cases of nervous disor ders, though never without the.knowlr edge and consent both of the patient and of the members of his family, has become known after the publication-, fit the Journal of. Psychology, of a reportr presented by. Dr. Charles D. . Fox of 2126 Pine street, Philadelphia. The particular case with whicbj Dr, Fox's report dealt -was that of a law yer, designated only as-- Mr. X., who, Dr.. Fox said, had been cured t asthf ma by hypnotism; but Dc: Fox admits that the science of mental suggestion1 Is used frequently and effectively ini many cases that come to the nervous department of .the .Hahnemann hospt taL Philadelphia, with which he is con nected: "It should be understood," Bald Dr; Fox, '"that hypnotism is used only in selected cases where there appears to be no pathological condition-to account for the illness and which therefore of fer no opportunity for the employment of ordinary methods ,of treatment. It has proved especially valuable in treat ing various forms of hysteria and neu rasthenia and in curbing, and curing alcoholism and morphinism. -;M ;' Musi Have Person's Consent. Questioned as to the extent to, which hypnotic, influence should dominate an other's will, Dr. Fox emphatically laid down the proposition that it is impos sible to .put a. person in the hypnotic state .. without that person's, consent.

Members Agree to Go.Hatless From April 1 to Oct 1. , The , Hatless Club of Baldheaded Men,, which, was organized, in Omaha last spring, has , become so popular that its scope is now almost national. X)r Clark, the. national president- and originator of the movement, recently returned- from. Milwaukee, where 000 baldheaded men met in convention. Speaking of the results, he said: "Delegates all baldheaded were present fr.om all over the country. We adopted a rule that makes it compul' sory ior every member upon all occa sions to go hatless between , April- 1 and Oct. 1 of each year. This may seem silly and like a joke, but if our members will go hatless inside of five years every one of them will have crowns covered, with hair. Hats are enemies of hair." Led Her Cow to. School.

Writing to friends' at Tonkawa, MiSs Cockrell said lately: 'The girls, are from fourteen to twen ty years old.

On another oc casion X., haying, been told while in the hypnotic state .that he would be alone in the room, absolutely failed to recognize the presence of another phy sician, Dr. Kulp, though Dr. Kulp, after, X. had been restored to his nor mal condition,. spoke to hm repeatedly and even took him by the hand. Ill Through Auto Suggestion. Mr. X.. the lawyer, is. described as thirtv-eieht years old. For several years ne naa sunerea irom asenma. and since 1906 the coughing attacks, which usually came on at night,were succeeded by a condition like .that of somnambulism. The patient, while ap parently rational and in full fosses' sion of his senses and, for instance, as was proved by experiment, - able to play an- excellent game of chess, be came unusually loquacious, discussing his private affairs most freely! but after an interval in which he regained his normal balance ..he remembered nothing of what he had said or done. Dr. Fox became convinced that 4he coughing attacks and the somnambu listic periods that followed them. were due to auto suggestion superinduced by .-. the fnmes of asthma powders which, it was-learned, the. patient frequently had inhaled until he fell asleep. 1 The experience "of falling asleep having occurred many times," says Dr. Fox In his. report, fa psychic short cut became established, and.tne morejhigh ly -elaborated auto-hypnotic or somnam bulistic condition began to appear, fol lowing a severe cough, even without the asthma .powder iavjng. been, used. The consequence was the result of as sociation of ideas- The beneficial re sults , of suggestion during tno-nyp-notic i state became apparent imme diately following his first treatment. On his second visit the patjent said he had' slept deeply three nights..- out of five without having been awakened by an attack" oi asthma. While under hypnosis ,tbe' second ."time "".the sugges tion was made . tnat paroxysms or coughing and somnambulistic attacks would never occur again. : 1 ?!- "Since Mri X. came under my care," the report goes on, "ne has been hyp notized only -eight- times. -At, present he sleeps well without being awakened by, jasthmatie, attacks, , and instead of having paroxysms of coughing when he arises in tne morning only .a- rew. coughs occur. i-.In fact,,he now Jias no: paroxysms whatever, and . since the first, treatment he lias not had a single one of any of bis various 'somnambu listic attacks." 1I0KS TOUR ft .
