Supreme Court narrows Harrison act to drug dealers
The Supreme Court interpreted the Harrison Federal Drug Act of 1914 as applying only to those who deal in opium, not to users. Wilson signed the act on December 17, 1914, with enforcement starting March 1, 1915, and the ruling mirrors New York’s Boylan act in penalizing users and sellers for violations.

Kawakami refutes claim of Japanese naval threat to U S
The American Peace Society republished K. de Kawakami's article arguing the premise of a Japanese peril is unfounded. He compares navies, noting Japan's six dreadnoughts and 560,484 tons versus America's 1,271,117 tons and 19 dreadnoughts plus other ships. He concludes Japan's fleet is about one third of the U S strength and not a menace to the Pacific coast.
