EXPIRATION OF TREATIES
Reciprocity Agreements Under
Dingley Law Terminated.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Aug. 6-An of the reci-
proclty treaties made by the United States
under the provisions of the DingIey tariff
act nave been terminated. and beginning on
MONDAY all articles entering American
ports VIII be subject to the rates of duty
provided In the Payne law When the
fayhe law was enacted year ago the
Secretary Of State gave formal notice to
the governments with which commercial
agreements had been concluded of the in
tended termination Of these agreements.
Under this notice the agreements with
France, Switzerland and Bulgaria were fer
minated on October 81 1909, and with Ger
many and Great Britain on February T.
1910 The agreements with Portugal ItaIy
Spain and the Netherlands provided that a
notice of a year should be given prior to
their termination. This notice was given by
Secretary Knox on August Z 1909 1t is
probable that the Treasury officials will
have to pass the question of whether
merchandise reaching American ports to-
morrow from Portugal Italy, Spain and
the Netherlands is dutiabe under the
Payne rates or the rates prescribed In
the trade agreements.
The date which the agreements with
France, Switzerland and Bulgaria were ter
minated fell on SUNDAY, ana the Depart
ment held that merchandise from those
countries imported after the close of bust
ness on Saturday could not be admitted
under the rates provided In the agree
ments There is little doubt that this rul-
ing will be followed if protests are filed by
importers whose merchandise Is a day late
in reaching American ports
For the last few weeks imports have
been unusually heavy from Portugal,
Spain. Italy and the Netherlands. There
was grand rush to take advantage of
the concessionary rates provided in the
trade agreements 1t is said that some of
the wine and liquor importers have been
forced to acquire additional storeroom to
take care of the heavy shipments which
have been received.

Washington. Aug. 6.-The naval medical
officers believe they are on the track of a
means of overcoming the effects of tropical
heat. Since the military naval personnel
las so much duty in the tropcs-notably
the army in the Philippines and Cuba and
the navy in West Indian and Central
American waters-this problem has en-
gagged the attention of the experts, in the
hope that they would be able to reduce
tie amount of disability on shipboard and
in the military force. Special Investigations
have been conducted from time to time
ard army and navy surgeons have taken
courses of instruction at the European
schools for the study of tropical diseases.
For some time the army surgeons have
been Investigating the theory that certain
colors used in underclothing would be
protection against the effects of the sun
rays. This inquiry proved that 10 such in
fuence was exerted. Other devices have
been tested with a view to determining
what is the best apparel for those on duty
in the tropics
The surgeon general of the navy has
now provided for an investigation winch
may be of much Importance to science in
it's attempt to solve the problem. A naval
medical officer Passed Assistant Surgeon
Harold ~. Smith. L. s. N. on duty at the
Naval academy. is now engaged on work
which will take some weeks, and which
aims to ascertain the proper TINT and
chemical composition of eyeglasses 1t
has been held by some of the European
experts that the effect of tropical light Is
felt not through the skin. but through the
eye If the intense heat and light of the
tropics can be excluded by particular tint
of eyeglasses there will be diminution
OF sickness. The report of Surgeon Smith
IS awaited with much interest as possibly
affording relief and protection by a SIM
lie and inexpensive process.
