ter is being arranged by Secretary

ment. The city will secure publicity

WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS.

Baltimore, Md, May 9.-De-
claring that Acknowledgement and
other determinations are but
small hirdrances when compared
with the ravages that tuberculosis
is making in the race, DIR. A. Nj.
Curtis, of Washington. in an ad-
dress Friday night before the sixth
annual meeting of the Maryland
Medical Pharmaceutical and Dem
tai Association, urged that the
physicians of the race and others
make a most determined effort 10
stamp out the disease. Il am not
pessimist nor an alarmist," said
the speaker, '"but we must see
and appreciate our weaknesses II
we are to relieve ourselves of them.
This crusade against tuberculosis
is the greatest race problem be-
fore us today, as it is the greatest
race problem before us today. as it
is the greatest foe that we have to-
day. Segregation, discrimination
and disfranchisement pale into
insigniticance in comparison with
the destruction, annihilation and
mortality that this disease is heap
ing upon us.
Only he who sees the Negro in
the South can fotm any adequate
idea of the sanitasy sins OF the
race and how we are sinned
against in certain phases of sani-
tation. Tuberculosis is the dead
ly gift of the whites TO the race,
and we are melting under it grad
ually and almost helplessly. We
have no Rockefellers among us to
give an endowment for our protec-
ton against tuberculosis, but we
have public. spirited men and wo-
men who are giving the equivalent
in social service to the end that
our race may escape from the
fangs of monster more terrible
in its effects than the hookworm."

press me. This expression told
me how out of touch he was with
the world about him. He had, in
fact, as learnd, no family no
home, friends, trade; he belonged
to no society; he had, so far as |
could learn, no views in life. In
the very midst of this great city
he was as solitary as hermit.
A few weeks later. in little

question of Polish peasant.
"Oh yes" he eagerly replied; ''ev-
ery one votes here now."
Sixty years ago most OF the

was not until two years ago that
the Government gave them all the

From Outlook.

The Carmania, the ship in

its passengers late Saturday at
Fishguard, off the coast OF Wales.
The special train which sped us
on to London reached the city
early Sunday morning, August 2o.
AsI drove from the railway sta
ton in the gray of the early morn
ing my attention was attracted by
a strange, shapeless, and disrepu-
tAble figure which skunk out OF
the shadow of building and NOV
ed slowly and dejectedly down the
silent and empty street. In that
quarter of the city, and in compar-
ison with the solid respectability
and comfort represented by the
houses around him, the figure OF
this man seemed grotesquely
wretched. In fact, he struck me
as the most lonely object | had ev-
er laid my eyes on. L watched
him down the street as far as L

left or to the right, but moved
slowly on, his head bent toward

something he did not hope to find.

before l learned that this man was

ten thousand of these homeless

East London alone. They are,
however. not confined to any part
OF the city. They may be found
in the fashionable West End,
lounging on benches OF st. James s
Park, as we'll as in the East End,
where the masses of the laboring
neople live. The Salvation Army
has erected shelters for them In
many of the poorer parts OF the
city, where, for anything from
two to eight cents, they may get
room for the night, and sometimes
a piece of bread and bowl oi

Another thing in regard to the
Negro; although he is frequently
poor, he is never without hope and
a certain Joy in living. No hard
ship he has yet encountered, eth
er in slavery or in freedom, has
robbed the Negro of the desire to
live. The race constantly grew
and increased in slavery, and 1t
has considerably more than doub'

people among the members of my
