Washington In Honor
Class on tuberculosis

The District of Columbia is one of
the twenty-five States and Territories
where the reporting of living cases Of
tuberculosis is now required by law
or health regulation.
In the twenty-eight other States and
Territories there is no provision for
keeping record of cases of this infec-
tious disease, according to a state,
ment issued today by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis.
The District of Columbia is really
in the honor class, since there are but
ten States which have similar laws
which provide specifically for the re-
porting of tuberculosis, and which
make provision for the proper registra-
ton of living cases. In fourteen States
70 the first classification the reporting
of tuberculosis as a simple infectious
disease is sufficient.
The association insists that the
first requisite for a comprehensive
campaign for the elimination of tu-
berculosis in a State or city is a we'll
enforced law requiring every case to
be reported to the health authorities
by the physician. as soon as 1t is dis
covered. Among those cities which
have especially stringent regulations
in this respect are New Orleans,
Washington. and New York.

prepared by Senator Gallinger and F.

DELAY IN PICKING
DIPLOMAT LAID TO
KAISER'S PROTEST
German Emperor Is Believed
to Have Rejected Name
/ Taft Submitted. I
A report has become current in official

A report has become current in official
circles that the delay of the President
in announcing the successor to DR..
David Jayne Hill, as ambassador to
Germany, is due to the fact that the
man named for this position was dis
approved by the German Emperor, and
that another man had to be picked.
In official circles, this report found
no Notification, and it is likely that it
would be denied in any event. That is
the course usually pursued in such mat
tiers. Regardless of this, there is a
strong intimation that the name of the
first appointee submitted to the Ger
man government was not given the
o. h of the Emperor, and that it was
therefore. Withdrawn.
1t is recalled that the Emperor OBJ
jected to the appointment of DR.. Hill,
but that President Roosevelt refused
10 sit quietly by and see his appointee
embarrassed in this manner. After
much negotiation the German govern
ment finally reconsidered and allowed
DR.. Hill to be presented.
The expectation was that the an
nouncement of DR.. Hills successor
would be made some time ago. 1t is
known that the name of man was
sent in confidence to Germany nearly
a month ago, and the presumption is
that a reply was received at least a
week ago. II this reply had been favor
able, an announcement should have been
expected. Since no announcement was
made, the circumstance points strongly
TO the theory that the appointment was
disapproved.
Dr. Hill retires from Berlin on the
LIST of July. His successor will be
named before that time, provided the
President can find the man he wants
for the job, that is, a man who is salts
factory to the German government.
