The War Department Is awaiting
the official copy of the decision rem.
dered Ey Justice Harlan, OF the Su.
preme Court, in the case of private
soldier named Grafton who has been
continued In the military service
while waiting determination of his
case. He killed PHILIPPINE while on
duty, and, while acquitted by the mill
tary court in the Philippines, he was
sentenced to twelve years imprison-
ment by the civil courts. The United
States Supreme Court has now ruled
that the military trial was sufficient,
and that the soldier cannot be again
tried, even by civil court. This rem.
resents radical change in tradition
and practice, and although it may not
apply to the State Courts, 1t will evil
IDENTIFY serve as the basis of claim
that soldier tried by n court martial
cannot be tried in the civil courts and
vice versa, ut least where there is a
jeopardy of life or limb. The army
has taken keen interest in this case
and has subscribed nearly $4,000 to
make n defense for Grafton, a larger
sum than any one had any idea was
being accumulated for the purpose

STATES ARE WORKING TO STOP
TUBERCUl OSIS.

. . F.. as
Public interest all over the country
has heen aroused over the startling
developments Mt the congress OF the
National Association for the Study
md Prevention of Tuberculosis,
which has just closed It's third an
nual sessions In Washington. Ac-
cording to DR.. Lawrence Flick, OF
Philadelphia, Pa, the eminent au.
thority on tuberculosis, through
whose unseliish and philosophical
efforts several open.air institutions
for the treatment of that deadly and
ainsidious disease have been opened
and are now in successful operation
in tho Keystone state, the work Of
organization for the purposes of pre-.
venting and fighting the disease Is
being energetically pushed through
out the United States. 1t was re.
ported to the congress that already
15 states are actively working to pre-.
vent tuberculosis. while in eight 9th.
en- states definite steps have been
taken which. It Is expected, will lead
TO similar organizations within the
year. In the opinion OF the associa.
ton, from the point Of view OF state
organization and geographical distrl.
button, the situation Is well In hand
with the exception of certain OF the
Z Southern and Western states. An
equally encouraging outlook Is pre-.
scented In the secretary's report OF
city organizations.
Nine OF these local committees
have been formed among cities OF
over 100000 population in the past
year. and definite plans are under
\ way In Toledo, ST. Paul, Los Angeles
and Fall River, so that of the 3S cities
OF this class only San Francisco, Kan.
sas City, Omaha, ST. Joseph and
Memphis ARE without plans, for the
early formation of such organiza.
lions. While carrying on this work
communities of lesser population have
not been neglected.; definite organi-
cations have been formed during the
year In AZ cities and towns. Massa,
chusetts and New Jersey heading the
list In this respect, each with ten 10.
cal societies.
Inc movement for organization Is
well advanced in 20 other cities, and

towns in which there are active so.
cietles, or definite plans for forming
such. What the final results of alI
this organization and systematic
work VIII be 1t is not possible to
tell, but 1t is plain that there Is here
a movement that has come to stay
and one which makes it seem not i'm.
reasonable to look forward to very
large reduction in the death rate OF
tuberculosis, If not to an eventual
stamping out Of this disease.
The national association. so lone
as 1t continues to attract to itself the
lhity, will be building up public
sentiment that will carry it's program
through to successful issue. 1t
VIII not be unnatural If the first vic
tories of this campaign of education
VIII seem of questionable value. At
first, there will be an apparent in
crease In the death rate from tuber-
culosis, following the observed facts,
in some parts of the country where
this work has been under way for
several years.
