Disease From Many Viewpoints.
American Delegates.

BERLIN, October 23-The German en-
press attended the formal opening OF tht
international tuberculosis conference here
today. Delegates from twenty two ma
tons were present Her majesty in ac-
cepting designation as a patroness of the
conference said she was intensely inter
eSted in the eudeavorS to combat the
scourSe of tuberculosis
The sessions, which will continue three
days, are held IN the hall of the Prussiar
diet. Imperial Vice Chancellor Clemens
Delbruck welcomed the delegates this
morning The feature of his address was
an enthusiastic tribute to "the extraor-
dinary energy and success with which the
fight against consumption has been con-
Quoted in the United States"
AT todays forenoon sitting the general
subject of Tuberculosis in Mankind was
dealt with from many points OF view
DIR. Hans Much of Hamburg. director OF
the institute for the investigation of tu-
berculoSiS declared that immuniza tior
against tuberculosis by cultures of living
baciili or by vaccine ton with dead mat
ter would be only rarely successful be-
cause OF the composite character of the
tuberculosis bacilli. On the other hand
he considered that immunity from the dis
ease might be and was self-produced by
counter agents in the human body.
Refers to friedman Treatment.
DIR. Louis Renon of Paris, one of the
leading French authorities discussing re-
suits from various methods of treating tu-
berculosis, offered Indirectly an explana-
ton for the apparently satisfactory re-
suits i'll some instances of DR.. Franz
Friedmann's much h-discussed treatment.
He declared that extreme caution must
always be used in judging a new anti
tuberculosis treatment, since it may be
accepted as a p.incIpie that every new
method of treatment, providing that t is
harmless, will at hrSt give satisfactory
results
The official American delegates to the
conference are DIR. Livingston Farrand
of New York, DR.. Henry Barton Jacobs
of Baltimore and DR.. Stephen Maher of
New Haven. A number or other Ameri-
can physicians are present in an unof-
fetal capacity.
The general public shows great interest
in the conference and a large audience
attended, the sessions today.

Japan's. Course Approved.

The course pursued by Japan through
out the Mexican troubles is re ceVing
continual favorable comment here. par
t.cuarly in view OF the former efforts

Japan was supporting him. In this con-
necton attention has been calleI to the
fact that wnen the Japanese nl. ars at

Papers Criticise Ministry.

The attitude of the great English pa
pers on the question 50 far has tended
to be critical OF the British ministry, and
this has led to the belief here that the
British pubic has not been fully inform

developments In Mexico City.
Although the British foreign office has
made ii plain so far that ii stands back
of Sir Lionel Garden, its min ster to

can Mex. can policy will be inquired into.
There has Teen n d sposition here to be-
lieve that he really made the statements
