good deal of curiosity in diplomatic
circles, or at least among the dipIo-

who have not been fortunate enough to

position of the United States govern

the time limit fixed in the DingIey act

be made has expired. it is a question

Pye-gmith. the British delegates to me
international congress on tuberculosis,
held recently at Berlin, has just been
made public The principal point con-
tanned in the report are:
''Tha primary Importance of free
ventilation and wholesome and abun-
dant food. Improvement in the dwell
ings and the food of the poorer classes
in England. and Fheir increasing
cleanliness and sobriety, have not only
diminished sickness generally, but di-
rectly reduced the number of deaths
from consumption until the mortality
from this cause is less in London than
in any other large city.
THAT aboundant food, particularly
of a fatty nature, and a life in the
open air. are no less valuable in the
treatment than in the prevention Of
phthisis, and that the hospitals and
asylums for providing these essentials,
which are now numerous in Germany,
and far from rare in England, the
United States, France and Austria, are
of essential value.
THAT the prospect OF improved sue
cess in the treatment of tuberculosis
in general, and of consumption IN par
ticuIar, IS a hopeful one, almost as
hopeful as that of limiting the spread

These show that Italian officials on

the Ita!ian authorities have no doubt
that they will be borne out by the in
