The campaign against the hookvorm
disease. which has been 30 successful In
Porto Rico under the local government.
and In the southern States by the joint
activity OF the Rockefeller sanitary COM
mission and State and local boards of
health, 10 now being extended 70 the
tropical and semi-tropical possessions of

with the governments OF those countries
where the infection is prevalent Wick
LIE Rose. director-general Of the COM
mission, has just returned to Washington
from trip around the world in the inter-
est Of the further development OF the
work In conjunction with governmental
agencies.
In London Mr.. Rose conferred with Mr..
Harcourt, secretary of state for the col
onies, concerning his recent visit to the
British West Indies and his contemplated
trip TO the Orient. As a result. the actual
work OF combating hookworm disease
is already well started in British Guiana
and other portions Of the British West
Indies.
In Egypt Mr.. Rose found Lord Kitch-
ener keenly interested in the work and
eager to have the cooperation Of the COM
mission in a systematic campaign. Meas
ures against hookworm disease were in
stituted N Egypt by the medical mission
aries some fifteen or sixteen years ago,
and more recently the government has
undertaken the work in certain localities.
Now that the international health Commits
sion. on invitation has agreed to lend its
cooperation. the work will begin on a
much larger scale. The fight against the
disease will begin in the delta OF the
Nile where the disease Is extremely prev
alent.
Mr. Rose visited Ceylon. Malasia, and
the Philippine Islands. where he stud
led the existence Of the disease and con-
ferred with authorities concerning meas
ures for its control Returning by the Pa
cific route, he gathered information about
the existence OF hookworm infection in
China. Japan, and Korea
In British Guiana an intensive cam
paign is being undertaken in the Peters
Hall district, which has been divided in
to three sanitary districts. In one OF these
every person has been examined for
hookworm disease. More than 80 per cent
were found to be infected--New York

Austria's Political Destnies.

For nearly century the evil hand of the reaction
destines of Austria. The revolution of IS48 drove
him into exile, but his policy of oppression and of op-
position to all liberal ideas has the less directed
the policy of the court at Vienna. The move against
Servia is thoroughly in accord with the lifelong ar
rogant attitude of the house of Hapsburg toward
supposedly weaker nations. Bismark who deeply re-
sented these aronts Prussia found his opportunity
for revenge in 1856 when that country gave Austria
fearful beating Is the Gar to play similar role in

Fire Losse. at Home and Abroad.

Belgrade, the capital Of Servia. has
population OF about one hundred thou-
sand. The fire losses in that city Tor the
last ten wears have averaged about Sll.-
700 a year. or not quite u cents per
capita per annurn.
Contrast this with American records.
The average fire loss per capita In all
cities of the United States was SIS. In
a city Of one hundred thousand inhabi-
tants this would give a yearly sacrifice
of So. .OOO-aImost nineteen times as great
as the actual losses OF Belgrade. lndi-
vidual cities show still more ghastly rec
ords. Kansas City. Kans., has $500 in

Judicial district denied 4 petition Il for
n writ of mandamus compelling Judge
Costello of, the Burleigh county, court
to issue the final decree Of distribu-
ton in the. estate OF Fred, Strauss Of
this city. This is the first attack up
on7the new North Dakota Inheritance
tax law and Judge Nuessle held that
the law was constitutional. Attorney
f. ID. McCurdy, attorney for the
Strauss heirs, obtained an alternative
writ OF mandamus from Judge Nues-
sic, ordering Judge Costello to show
cause why such distribution should
not be made before the payment OF
the Inheritance tax.
Mr.. McCurdy commended that mas
much as nephews and nieces are
compelled to pay 5 per cent inherit
'ance tax and cousins but 8 per cent
inheritance tax, that the law was I'M
constitutional and in direct conflict
with article 2, section Z, of the con-
