ADCOCK NOT A CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST.To »he Editor of Th* Tribune

The efficiency of the enlisted men would be great-ly improved, and there would be a decrease in de-sertions. If the day's routine was altered to elimi-nate these unoccupied hours and the method ofpunishing the man who becomes intoxicated waschanged. An enlisted man returning to his post orship in a highly intoxicated condition is court mar-tialled and eventually discharged. The dischargemeans much to him. especially ifhe has served Inthe army through several terms of enlistment andhas only a few years to remain in order to secure aretirement pension. Not only would the pension belost, but the man who had been deprived of hisprofession would be obliged in civil life to beginhis career all over again. Instead of this extremepunishment for drunkenness. Iwould suggest thatthe intoxicated soldier or sailor be arrested, and. iffound guilty,be punished by withholdinga portionof his pay for a certain period, the amount with-held being placed to his credit and given to him atthe expiration of his term of enlistment.

Men failing to Improve should be assigned to dis-ciplinary companies, where duties would keep themconstantly busy, especially at the hours which theywere accustomed to spend at the saloons. Thesecompanies should be commanded by officers pos-sessing the confidence of the men and the qualitiesof Justness, strictness of discipline and kind heart-ednrss. During their first two or three months ofservic* the recruits ought to be attached to thesecompanies also, inorder to learn the elementary les-sons of discipline. The members of these companiesshould be kept continually occupied from morningtill night. At the conclusion of the day's duties Iwould suggest that they spend their evenings read-ing the Constitution of the Tnited States and his-tory and learning thu geography of our country

and the world. Th«re might also be lectures onsubjects of genera] Interest by men qualified tospeak upon them. The use of the time in this waywould not only lessen the desire of the men to

lounge around drinking places, but would increasetheir value as citizens and fighters and enable themto gain tho respect of their fellow citizens in civillife. Of course, the man who became intoxicatedwhile on duty should be court moxiialled. as underthe present code.Iwould punish deserters in a different manner

than at present, also. Harsh treatment of a manfor a breach of contract, or desertion, as it is calledin military language. Is likely to lead to crlrr*. Adeserter is usually a good workman at the trade bywhich he earned a livelihood before entering thearmy or navy Desertion Is easy for him. becauseof his confidence in his ability to make his livingoutside of the service. For this reason, if for noother, he ought to be trented less harshly than atpresent. Instead of confinement to a combinationof laziness and hard labor Inside of prison walls. Iwould sugp^ft that he be punished conditionallyonly, and detailed for a specified period to the dis-ciplinary company mentioned.

Some Suggestions Which Might Prove ofPractical Service if Adopted.

To the Editor of The Tribune.Sir: For the benefit of many enlisted men Iwould

like to offer a few suggestions, which, ifadopted.woulii assist in making their service more enjoyableto themselves and satisfactory to their country. Ayoung man having a fancy for the army or thenavy closes a contract to serxe his country for aperiod of years. He does this with a sense of doing

a patriotic act. His anticipations regarding hiswork as a soldier or sailor are that there willbe avariety of drills, some theoretical instruction, tar-get practice, setting up exercises and a little recrea-tion—in fact, that his time willbe fully and use-fullyemployed. The recruit is confined for about amor.th at his post or yard, until he has taken theelementary course in military training. He flnda.to his surprise, that each day he has several hoursin which he can do nothing except loaf. He can beof no use to himself, for at those hours the libraryis not available, and he is of no use to the service.When he has advanced in the service he finds thattho routine still has a period of waiting as a partof it. These dally periods of enforced idleness aidmaterially the soldier or sailor who has any ten-dency in that direction to become dissatisfied Theconversation of the veterans is not always enter-taining or of value to the recruit, and this adds to

the tedium of the unemployed hours. When therecruit secures his first leave he feels happy, buthis joy is quite often dampened by the discourtesyshown him by civilians. Itis exhibited in refusalsto sell him theatre tickets and in charges higherthan those to other patrons for meals at certainclasses of restaurants, etc.

Cruelty to Human Beings Follows, Says Cor-

respondent—Eockefeller Institute a Text.To the Editor of The Tribune,

Sir: The inauguration of the Rockefeller Instituteshould not pass without a single word of protest.Iventure to predict that the time will come whenthe searching for human health among the infectedorgans and tortured nerves of our fellow animalswillbe regarded with -the same loathing which wenow visit upon the worst barbarisms of our ances-tors. From the mere point of view of humanselfishness these experiments upon living things

must be condemned, for men who become hardenedto brutal investigations practised upon animals areonly too likely to continue their researches uponmen and women. Ihave read a number of reports

made by the operators themselves, but intendedonly for the eyes of the medical profession, of ex-periments of all kinds practised upen ignorantpatients in and out of hospitals.

"The New York Medical Record" of December 10.I^7. page 728. gives an account of a New Jerseyphysician who subjected a score of children to in-fection by scarlet fever, in order to test a prophy-

lactic. One lad of eight, for example, was "takento a house in which there was a boy sick withscarlet fever His parents being poor, the pillowupon which the patient lay had not been exchangedsince the beginning of the sickness. This pillowwas placed over the face of the. boy who had beenInoculated, aii<! held there some time. He wast en made to inhale the breath of the patient."This paper was rend before the New York Academyof Medicine, and may bo taken as an example ofmctllcal ethics on the subject.

A medical writer jr. "The American Journal ofMedical Sciences." Vol. 93. pp. 310-311. gives an ac-count of his experiments upon a woman namedMary RaiTerty at a Cincinnati hospital. "It is ob-vious." says he. "that it is extremely desirable toascertain how far the results of experiment onthe brain of. animals may be employed to elucidatethe furctloiis of the human brain.

'And he pro-

ceeds to relate how he inserted "insulated needlec-U'ctrodes" into the- substance of the brain of thispoor woman with an electric battery connected.He gives the !(•\u25a0-.;::. "Very soon the left hand wasexip^ndf.-i as if in the act of taking hold of someobject in fror»l o* her; the arm presently was agi-tated with elonlc spavms. her eves became fixed,with pupils widely dilated, lips were blue, and shefrc.t^i-rl at the mouth; her breathing became ster-torous, she lost consciousresH anil was violentlyconvulsed •\u25a0!! tho left side

"The woman eventually

died. It would ip possible to rue- pa?»s of suchoases. It is :;cant that at the opening of theInstitute the necessity of erectirtf a hospital nextto it was dwelt uron. Itru« Imay never have. is on to be confl.-.ed there.ldo not expect to convince any one »-hi belie 'a

that ;in;;na!s have no right? -.v! icii human beingsart* urder obligation to respect, but Iwould Ilk*to save my age and city, so far as a solitary indi-vidual can, from the sti.ermr. of universal acnui-essence in thin infernal business. Perhaps somefuture historian, rurr.nging in the flies of The Trib-une, and astounded at the presence of our leaders-.f Hint and Wrnir.;? at the opening of such an'institute." may find even in a single letter ofprotest a reason for qualifying his general con-demnation or our civilization. Yours truly.

PROTEST AGAINST VIVISECTION.

Newly Appointed Inspectors Discussed-Move in Right Direction, Says Writer.

To th# Editor of The Tribune.Sir: The first fruits of Senator Lodge's consular

reform bill are seen In the appointment by thePresident of five inspectors of consulates, with thetitle of consul general.It appears that these appointees are to be paid

$5,000 per annum, with an allowance for travellingexpenses and subsistence, r>nd are to visit suchconsulates us may be assigned to their, respec-tively, and all are to be Inspected at least everytwo years.

The extent and the utilityof these inspectionswill depend upon the personality and integrity ofthe inspectors. To be useful they must hinve hadexperience in the consular service and with con-sular duties in the several countries visited: theym""

be able to confer with local merchants andofficials in either the French or German languagein the non-English-speaking countries, and. in or-der to avoi-i the pitfalls and temptations peculiarto the fascination of foreign travel and personalgraft, arising from the acceptance of presents fromthe officials inspected, they must make absoluteloyalty to th? United States government a part cftheir religion. Orientals say that the acceptanceof a present, breaks the hand so that it cannotstrike, and in their country the acceptance of apresent by any one having judicial'functions cre-ates a presumption of corrupt collusion In favorof the donor.

It is to be hoped that among the instructions(riven by the Department of State to appointeeswill be found one strongly discouraging the sys-tem of baeksheesh which prevails so largely in non-Christian countries and to some extent in Christen-dom.

The writer once inquired of the governor generalof an adjoining province whether the newly ap-pointed governor genera! of Damascus was a lib-eral man, in contrast with his narrow minded aridfanatical predecessor, who had recently been exe-cuted for complicity in the general massacre ofChristians, and receive this answer: "Oh, no.Mustapha Pacha is not a fanatic: he gambles, getsdrunk and takes bribes just like any Christian."

The appointees seam to have been chosen witha view to obtaining the best results, because oftheir experience in the consular service. H. I*Washington, for example, was for many years aconsular official In Egypt and Syria, where, underthe principle of exterritoriality which obtains innon-Christian countries, he had diplomatic andJudicial' functions and Jurisdiction as a consularJudge in civil and

'criminal cases, In admiralty,

marriage and divorce. In addition to the regularconsular duties. Subsequently he served as consulat Valencia in Spain, at Geneva in Switzerlandand at Cape Town In Africa.' This wide experience,added to that gained at the Department of Statebefore he was sent abroad, should qualify him forhis new duties as inspector. The same is true rfMr. Dickinson, who has been for more than tenyenrrs consul general at Constantinople.

Mr. Murphy has had ten years or more of ex-perience as consular clerk In various localities,which should wake him an excellent judge of thequality and conduct of the several consuls withinhis Jurisdiction. The same Is presumably true ofMr. Eartleman. because of his previous service.Mr. Cheshire cannot have gained much knowledgeof consulates generally during his short service atMoukden. so recently the battlefield of Japaneseand Russian troops, but It is far to assume fromthe other appointments that he also has beenchosen because of fitness rather than favoritism.Messrs. Washington. Dickinson and Cheshireshould be abundantly able Intelligently to Inspectand report on all consulates in Turkey, Persia.Egypt. Africa. China and Japan, while Messrs.Murphy and Bartleman, w-th their intimate knowl-edge of consular duties in Europe, should makesatisfactory and intelligent inspection on the Con-tinent and in the English speaking countries. Theseeming inconsistency of appointing a consularclerk to such a high position Is explained by thefact that consular clerks are the only consular offi-cials having a life tenure. They retain that statuseven when temporarily occupying the post of viceor deputy consul general, or while performing anyany other duties assigned to them, as in the caseof Mr. Murphy, who has been a consular clerk formore than ten years.

Although the original consular bill was greatlychanged before Its final enactment by Congress andmany of Its useful features were stricken out. ItIsa matter of rejoicing that some progress has beenmade toward placing our consular system upon \u25a0 amore, respectable footing, and that some encourage-ment has been extended to educated and availableyoung men to regard the consular service as acareer instead of an episode In reward for votegetting In support of more or less local politicalleaders.
