Veil of Secrecy Over British Naval

LONDON', Sept. 4. (Delayed In
Transmission. For the first time
the veil of secrecy over the British
naval operations has been lifted.
Drulng the last week a correspondent
visited the grand fleet and the great
naval base. At one naval base he
saw dry dock s capable of docking the
largest dreadnaughta, which had
been built since the war began.
Maps were shown the correspon
dent marking points where German
submarines had been sighted and on
which the results of the attacks were
classified under "captured," "sup
posed 6unk" and "sunk." When
bubbles are observed rifling for a long
time at the same spot in smooth
water it is taken for granted that a
submarine's career has been ended.

Yakegatake in the Japanese Alps has
been followed by two eruptions In the
sea off the coast of Japan about due
south of Toklo and by a serious explosion
of the volcano on the Inland of Suwase

China to Be Run on
Very High Plane
(( 'otiesismdenre of the Associated Press.)
PKKING. Aug. .1 The China Medical
board instituted by the Rockefeller
Foundation will la established In Chltv
t a very opportune moment, according
to Dr. J. G. Cormack, principal of the
Vnlon Medical collego in Peking. Most
of the staff of doctors working at thla
mission college arc British subjects, and
the ataff has been seriously affected by
si vera I of the most Imiwtant men going
linme to Kngtand to Volunteer for medi
cal wor't with Ihe army.
Dr. Cormack states, also, that "while
the war lasts we cannot expert much fur
ther help from P.ngland." He made these
statements at the annual graduation of
Chinese students, at which there were
slate, n w ho received their diplomas this
yesr, bringing the totai number of grad
uates from this college up to twenty.
Dr. Cormack added:
"Truly, this Is a very small number
when we think of the great need there
is In China for trained doctors. For
tunately, there Is a likelihood of a large
Increase of our staff In the near future
because tho Rockefeller Foundation has
In-nltuted the China Medical board, which
proposes to spend a large sum of money
on medical education In China. This
board has decided to first thoroughly
equip this collego In every department
and make It possible for every Chinese
student to obtain a medical education
of the very highest standard. The fa
cilities that will be offered lo the young
men of China to become highly trained
physicians and surgeons will be made
qual to anything In Murope or America,
"We are very glad, too. that the
character of the 'college as a Christian
Institution Is still to be maintained. The
missionary societies which founded this
college have from the beginning desired
that the moral character of the students
should conform to the Christian Ideal,
and every effort haa been made to show
the students thst knowledge without vir
tus is not only undesirable, but may even
be dangerous. China needs not only ths
science and knowledge of western lands,
but much more does It need that mort
regeneration which can alone make a na
tion truly great."
