Hospitals and Tuberculosis.

1t was probably shocking surprise te
most Washtngtonians to learn from an
article in The Star the other day that
there is no hospital In Washington where
a patient suffering from tuberculosis can
be treated unless as an object of charity.
A case has recently developed which
clearly demonstrates this fact and at
tention has been called to it in the Sem
ate in the hope that some action may be
taken which will supply the deficiency.
1t is the practice Of the local hospitals,
doubtless for the protection of their pa
tients. to refuse to accept known cases of
tuberculosis and to ask for the removal of
those that develop or are disclosed after
admission This means that if person
suffering from tuberculosis has means to
pay for hospital accommodations and de-
sires to be treated away from home there
is no place in this District where he can
go. He must remain within the domestic
premises or in the house of a friend as
long as he is not too poor to pay. He
can, of course, go outside of Washing
ton to some institution where such cases
are handled specially and exclusively,
but for local institutional treatment here
in his own city he will look in vain.
In view Of the present agitation: for a
scientific treatment of tuberculosis, seek
ing the elimination: of the disease by iso-
laton and sanitary precautions, 1T Is as
tonishing that there is no better PRO
vision here at the apital for the treata
ment OF the disease in circumstar1ces
which cover a majority of cases. There
should be every inducement. to take such
cases out of domestic premises. Physi-
clans recognize the danger that is run by
retaining tubercular cases in houses oc-
cupied by well people and are difigent
in their warnings against the possibility
OF Infection. There is strong prejudice
against isolation, and the day may not
come, for many years when q sentiment
will be sufficiently aroused to accomplish
ognized, great as are the difficulties in
volved. and it is by no means encourage
ing to find SO serious an obstacle against
the proper institutional care of tubercu-
lar cases as that which has resulted here
from the refusal of hospitals to take such
patients. = So
The ntunicipaI hospital has limited ac-
commodRuens for tubercular patients who
are unable to pay fees There should be no
such discrimination. The District should
have the most perfectly equipped hospital
accommodations for cases Of tuberculosis,
regardless of financial conditions. This
should not be a matter of individual reg
ulations by the various private and semi
private local hospitals. but should be
covered by law e."

the treaty of 1904.
This amelioration can only be obtained
in exchange for reasonable concessions
to the Spanish negotiators. And 1t is
not to be acquired with the fist IN the
face of the Spaniard.
Besides, the pacification of the Riffians
is as necessary to France as to Spain.
The latter has already made great sacri-
fees in the Riff. The two causes cannot
be separated. What imprudence to OPP
pose Spain in such a brutal manner!
In commencement of the negOtia-
ton it was a question Of claiming from
Spain "compensations." But In any case
France will not send vessel to La
rache. The hour is unique. France may
repair or aggravate number OF errors
that France. after having made a pact
with Germany, should not he drawn into q

is necessary that the affair should be
and before public opinion. 1t would be
the full measure of i'll luck If having
coded the Kongo to Germany France
had not at the same time created per
manent friend and ally beyond the
Pyrenees!
A writer In the Revue de Paris. NJ. Reg
inald Kann, does not view the subject
with the same eyes as NJ. Hanotaux. M
kann maintains that since seven years
the situation has changed materially. The
Germans have obtained French territory
on the Kongo in exchange for the French
protectorate over Morocco. The Span
iards have violated the treaty OF 1904
NJ. Kann. who is personally acquainted
with Morocco and the Moroccans. sug-
gests that France should insist up
on the following solution: The north
of Morocco. the region of the Riff
and Tetuan. should be limited by a
line of demarcation. which. running from
the mouth Of Oued Allan, between Ceuta.
and Tangier. will follow the line to tho
basin of the Moulouya. the Oued M'soun
to remain Moroccan territory, the region
designated in the treaty OF 1904 as belong
ing in the Spanish zone to be recognized
by Morocco as Spanish territory.
The rest of the Cherifian empire will be
placed under the protectorate of France
in accordance with the principles estab-
lished by the Franco-German treaty OF
November 4. 1911. France will agree
with England that she will not fortify
the coast between the mouth of the Oued
Allan and that o. the Oued Sebou.

best drawn the horoscope Of the Franco
Spanish negotiations.
