INTERNATIONAL EFFORT

Has Established Permanent Office

"To paraphrase Lincoln's state-
ment, 'The world can not remain half-
epidemic disease ridden and half
free from disease' ", said Surgeon
General Hugh, S. Cummig in his
lecture on "Public Health from an
International Standpoint" delivered
at 8:00 o'clock at Natural Science
Auditorium last night. Dr. Cummings
speaks with authority and from ex-
perience as he is the Head of the
United States Public Health Service,
the largest official health agency in
the country.
After paying tribute to the pioneer
work which the University of Michi-
gan is doing along tre line of pre-
ventive medicine, Dr. Cummings pro-
ceeded to outline the international
efforts in similar directions.
'Until recent years", he said, "in-
ternational effort has been almost
entirely directed towards making uni-
form and efficient quarantine regul-
ations and towards inducing countries
to remove useless, expensive, and bur-
densome restrictions upon com-
merce."
Tse Conventions of Vence,Paris,
and Rome in the nineties were results
of such effort, the latter resulting in
the establishment in Paris of a per-
manent office with a staff to collect
and desemminate epidemiological in-
telligence, and of the permanent Com-
mittee composed of one representative
from each of the powers signatory to
the Convention. "But", said Dr. Cum-
mings, "in these international con-
ferences there is almost always sharp
line-up of those powers who control
large maritime interests against those
who have little shipping. It is diffi-
cult to reconcile the conflicting iner-
ests for few countries have identical
interests and conditions, and, frank-
ly, few live up to the agreements."
The greatest distinct menace to the
civilized world until recently has
been the Mohammedan pilgrimages to
the Holy Cities when pilgrims from
plague and cholera epidemic centers
of India and the Far East carried
these diseases to the Arabian Shrines
whence infected pilgrims from Russia,
Turkey and the Mediterranean return-
ed to their native lands. These con-
ditions led to the control of the Red
Sea, Egyptian and Turkish maritime
quarantine stations by an internation-
al sanitary board which has undoubt-
edly saved Europe and ourselves from
many serious outbreaks of epidemic
of cholera.
The lecture was conJuded with an
account of the spread of disease dur-
ing the late war and the work of the
League of Red Cross Societies organ-
ized at that time, and that of the
Rockefeller International Board.
St. Louis, July 11.-Declaring that
Senator Robert M. LaFollette iand
Gov. Charles W. Bryan "would carry
every state west of Pennsylvania and
north of the Mason and Divon line,
with several southern states," Sheri-
dan Carlisle, president of the National
Progressive league, telegraphed Sen-
ator LaFollette, urging Bryan as a
running mate.
BRANEIS WANhL AS
MATl FOR LAFOLLTTE
Davidson, Disciple Of Carlyle
And Ibsen, Outstanding Poet
WILL GE ILLUST [TED
TRANSPORTTIN TA
The philosophy of John Davidson
was the subject of an address de
livered at the Natural Science auditor-
ium yesterday afternoon by Prof. R.
M. Wenley of the philosophy depart-
ment.
Davidson, although little known,
was one of the greatest poets of the
nineteenth century, Mr. Wenley declar-
ed. He was the English speaking
representative of the third group of
romanticists, which includes Nietz-
sche and D'Annunzio, and which be-;
lieves in the supremacy of the indivi-
dual over the convention of society.
Prof. Wenley traced the develop-
ment of the romantic movement In
philosophy in literature from the ap-
pearance of Goethe's "Werther"
through the three schools which fol-
lowed it. In the first group, which
sought to escape as individuals from
the conventions of society, are found
such names as Byron and De Musser.
A second group appeared to oppose!
these with the so-called "stand fast"
theory. In this group, by far the
largest and most prominent, such fig-
ures as Herder, Schelling, Hugo, Car-
lyle, 'Emerson, and Newman stand
I out. More recently the third school,
the so-called Neo-romanticists or
I Pragmatists, tend to revert to the
theories of the first, but with the dif-
ference that they lead an active at-
tack upon conservatism and society.
It is in this group that Neitzsche,
Davidson and D'Annunzio belong.
Neo-romanticism sees man, himself
a god, not as made in the image of the
Christian God, but worshipping a god
made in the image of all that is best
in man. Prof. Wenley illustrated the
theories of Davidson by selections
from his verse.
Davidson was strongly influenced by
Ibsen and Carlyle, but notwithstand-
ing the similarity in thought, Nietz-
sche does not appear to have been a
force of any consequence in the mould-
m ing of his thought.
Prof. H. E. Riggs
who will lecture on "The Develop-
ment in American Transportation,"
Thursday evening at 5 o'clock, in Na-
tural Science auditorium. The lec-
Louis D. Brandeis, associate justice
of the United States supreme court, is
being strongly urged as a running
mate for Robert M. LaFollette.

keen observations of the modern and3
old-fashioned girl.

BRYA WILL HELP
DAIS IN CAMPAIGN
Dine Together At Polk Residence
Which Davis Has Made His
Headquarters
CADOO'S POKLTION SILL
RAISES CONSIDERABLE WONDER
New York, July 11.-After a nights
rest at his home at Locust Valley,
John W. Davis, Democratic nominee
for president, returned to New York
today to give further consideration to
campaign plans at the home of his
legal associate, Krank L. Polk, which
he is making his city headquarters.
All doubt about the attitude of
William Jennings Bryan toward the
head of the ticket seems to have been
dispelled by Mr. Bryan's statements
that his support will be forthcoming.
Mr. Bryan and his brother, Gov.
Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska, nom-
inee for vice president, dined last
night with Mr. Davis at the Polk resi-
dence.
There remains some wonder as to
the position of W. G. McAdoo in the
campaign. The New York World to-
day prints a front page story suggest-
ing that Mr. McAdoo form another
party. Mr. McAdoo has maintained
silence since sending a telegram to
Mr. Davis limited in effect to the
words: "Please accept my congrat-
ulations."
New York papers are frankly skep-
tical of the attitude towards the nat-
ional ticket of Mayor Hylan and some
even suggest that a Smith-Hylan bat-
tle for control of Tammany Hall
looms.
Some political circles expect that
New York will be the center of the
Davis campaign. With 266 electoral
votes necessary for success and with
Davis reasonably assured of 147 from
the solid south plus Maryland and
Kentucky, according to these opinions
the 45 of the Empire state will be vit-
al and next to New York much atten-
tion must be devoted to Ohio, Illinois,
and Indiana.
There is much speculation as to the
future political career of Gov. Smith,
who indorsed the national ticket in a
speech before the convention. Asked
whether he would run for governor
again in the fall, he expressed a pre-
ference to return to private business.
SUMMER STUDENTS TO
BE GUESTS AT MIXER
Tonight at 8 o'clock in Wesley hall
the Wesleyan Guild will give its first
"student mixer' of the summer. It is
open to all studentsand their friends
in order to a'fford them the oppor-
tunity of becoming better acquainted.
Table games will be the main fea-
ture of entertainment and refresh-
ments will be served. This is in the
nature of a "trial party,' that is to
say, if the attendance is promising
there is more fun to be had; if it is
poor, no more parties. Everyone is
urged to come.

the injury in the first take-off of the
