London. 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.

380 Washington Street
Rome, Aug. 10. By Mail to United
Press.) England and Italy must unite
to preserve the Integrity of Turkey and
to resurrect Ottoman nationality, . " '
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. But. with this
reservation, rancor cannot be the base
of a,.w(se: policy "-Europe win help her
self and. the "great, causa of human lib
erty by, assisting the resurrection ef the
Ottoman nationality, on condition that
it gives all the necessary guarantees for
the protection of the rights of the ether
Oriental races and of legitimate Euro
pean interests.
"The strengthening of the agreement
already existing between the govern
ments of London. Paris and Roma and
the conclusion also of special arrange
ments for most urgent questions, such
as that of the Near East, constitutes a
real and vital necessity for Europe. '
"The agreement before all else should
be based upon the Interest and the need
of unity between the three great powers

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.
In their Investigations the engineers
studied the cost of passenger dirigibles
used in Italy and other countries where
they are manufactured, and discovered
that the tremendous cost was due, not to
