SOLDIERS JSXXGGLK, BELIEF One big cafe, a stone's throw . from the Paris opera., is one of the biggest venters of cocaine traffic Most of the Iflrof that reaches Paris comes in from Germany.

Aug. 20 L N, RV Only a few years ago any British doctor who professed faith in "mental cures was labelled "charlatan" or -ouack. Today a violent controversy la. raging In the medical press, with- some of Britain's leading physicians announcing that not only nerve troubles but even pneumonia benefit, by "mind treatment," auto-sug- gesuon ana Hypnotism. . Tne row started at the annual meet tng of the British Medical association. A large part of the association's time was devoted to debating the value of mental cures, and the discussion is con tinuing in the press. Professor Robertson of Edinburgh, a well known physician, declared that wounds could not only be cured by mere suggestion but could be inflicted in the same way: He asserted that he knew of one case where blisters were raised on a man's body simply by telling him he was being seared with an iron. He knew French doctors, he said, who con sidered mental suggestion an important treatment in cases of pneumonia, be cause it strengthened a patient's vitality and enabled him to fight the disease with better success. "SOMETHING BESIDES PIIXS" "I am not urging that we abandon the use of medicine," said Professor .Rob ertson, "but - doctors should learn that there is something besides pills in their profession. , If they would study mental cures they could throw many a bottle of medicine into the sea.' Dr. Bernard Hollander, who advo cated successfully the use ef hypnotism and auto-suggestion in curing eases of sell shock and nervousness during the war, said that the drink and drag habits yieiaea reaairy to psychic healing. But he warned the association that they must not rely on mental treatment alone. jvow comes Dr. F. L.

" ' This opinion was expressed In an in terview by Senator Artom, president of the Italian Colonial institute, and an expert in foreign polities, which I studied st the foreign office before be became first a deputy and then a sena tor. .. ' , The terms of a particular agreement between England and Italy for the Near East could not be discussed by the pre before its conclusion,' said Artom. be cause even the most modest commercial convention could be concluded . if Its terms were discussed beforehand. "All that can be said to that a return to the principle of the Integrity of the Ottoman empire, which for long formed an important part of European public law, would seem advisable and should form the base of an agreement with Italy. - . "Certainty the conduct ef Turkey dur ing the war has aroused legitimate ran cor in ' European public opinion ; cer tainly, the passage of the Straits can no longer remain the monopoly of Turkey, nor of any other power.

Transcontinent al air service la dirigible balloons having accommodations for 1M passengers Is the subject of serious consideration Just now by Eastern capitalists, with whom are said to be associated the Duponts and the U. B. steel company. Within a few days these Interests will confer in New York on a report Just sub mitted to them by engineers who were sent to Europe to Investigate the whole subject of transportation by dirlglble- They have recommended as feasible and practical the operation of such a service between New York and Chicago on a 12-hour schedule, and another routs from New York to Los Angeles. WOULD COST MILLIONS - Hangars would be established at Oma ha. Deover and Salt Lake. There would also be a service from New York and Chicago to Kansas City and St.- Louis. and the report recommends a Ban Fran cisco-Saa Diego branch. . - Fifty million dollars would be ample to cspltsllse the company at the start, accord In a to the engineers who msde the investigation. . The dirigible balloons would cost $3,000,000 each and the two machine hangars $10,000,000 each. The report recommends the construc tion ef the first fleet of dirigibles in Hoi land and France, where plants are now being operated. It also recommends that the plan of capitalisation Include provi sion for at least three great plants in the United States. Chicago is favored for the principal terminus of the proposed new line. CUmatlo conditions the , year round were an Important factor ra determining the coast-to-coast route of the air fleet. LUXURIES COSTLY If is the belief of the engineers that they have fixed a route across the con ttnent that will be open at all seasons of the year without danger to the dirigibles, and with perfect safety and comfort to the passengers.
