It la as i ecessarv for us to have our own ships as for a store to have its own delivery wagons. In time of stress foreign owners of ships will favor their own merchants against ours. The argument against a subsidy Is the broad one , that if the British. Japanese. Dutch and others can carry goods cheaper than Americans can they ought to be allowed to have the business.

It seemed to be speculative In character and there was no definite Indication that a course had been mapped out. France has been credited unoffl dally with desiring 300.000 tons in capital shins and 75.000 tons In sub marines, but it was said in some quarters, that would mean a pro posal to Increase French naval strength by 40 per cent while Great fcritain and the United States were reducing 40 per cent. CANCER CURES REPORTED FRENCH SCHGEON WORKS UPON NEW THEORY. Treatment Consists of Checking Morbid Growth and Giving Vitality to Lymphs. BT FERDINAND TUOHT. (Copyrljrht by tho New York World. Pub M.hert hv A rrnneemen t. PARIS, Dec. 13. (Special Cable.) Working on on entirely new theory of the nature of canrer, Dr. Baronaki of the Blois hospital has effected a number of cures that are attracting wide attention. Careful watch is be ing kept on his patients In the hope that a definite method of cure at last has been discovered. Dr. Raronakl holds that cancer Is a general affection originating in troubles of the secretive glands, which cause deterioration of globules and lymphs. The local affection which has been the objective of other recent research Is merely a consequence of the general disorder, the Blols physi cian says. "Cancer." he said, "Is no longer In curable if treated In time. My con ception is based on particular poly glandular lesions of internal secre tive glands, which entail blood fer ments, lymphatic and globular dete rioration, then consecutively humoral and cellular perturbations, constitut ing a general affection. "This I treat by a general method designed to put obstacles In the way of the original morbid process, con sisting of an injection of a lymphatic solution measured to combat the typ ical mineralization of cancerous sub jects. Then I regenerate the deficient lymphs. Then the patient absorbs appropriate extracts and cachets of organic substances. "All my efforts tend to modify the general state of the sufferer without ever touching the local cancer. Under the influence of the relatively simple treatment I have outlined, which is compatible with the continuance of normal life, 1 rapidly obtain notable amelioration of the patient's general state, with cessation of pain. "Once equilibrium Is re-established, the sufferer reacts vigorously against the local cancer. First one notices a check to its development, then Its progressive disappearance." Dr. Baronakl's method has been ex plained in the Academy of Science and many eminent scientists support his theories. NEW SECURITIES OFFERED CERTIFICATES IN $25, 9100, $ 1 000 DENOMINATIONS.

Discussion Ranged From Canary Birds to Cows and Near Beer to Champagne. WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. 13. Tariff framers on the senate finance committee had a course In mental gymnastics today following the many subjects presented by a dosen or more witnesses. The discussion ranged from canary birds to cows and from near beer to champagne, with onions spaghetti, candy, nuts, tomato paste and other Items mixed In. The specific schedules under con sideration were those deal'ng with agricultural products and provisions and spirits, wines and other bever ages. Liquor importers, through Levi Cooke, protested against the proposed rates of $5 a gallon on bran dy and 16 a gallon on champagne, pointing out that these were In addi tion to the Internal revenue tax of 2.20 a gallon. , Calling attention to the fact that under the law liquors could not be imported for beverage purposas, Mr. Cooke said most of it was used for medicinal purposes, adding that the tax was very steep for a medicine. This led to a discussion of medicinal use of liquors and Senator Smoot, re publican, Utah, remarked that he re city cently has seen some 40 persons taken suddenly 111. Speaking of the Anheuser-Busch company, Mr. Cooke asked that pres ent rates on Imported hops be re tained. Increased protection for the long staple cotton growing industry In the southwest was asked of the commit tee by Governor Campbell of Ari zona, and B. D. Heard of Phoenix, publisher of the Arizona Republican. They said that the growing of this cotton promised a development that would put to use much arid land In Arizona, California and New Mexico, and asked that It be protected from the Egyptian product.
