WASHINGTON, Jan. 11--Great
Britain's preliminary note replying TO
this governments shipping protest
was the engrossing subject in official
and congressional circles today. OF.
fetal administration comment was
withheld until the subsequent de-
tailed note promised is forthcoming.
General opinion here was that the
note was extremely conciliatory and
couched in even more friendly terms
than the original protest. Officials
said this government would now mark
time until the detailed British note
Is received. No further American
communication, except in cases OF in
diyidual ships or cargoes, will be sent
to the British foreign Office.
Orders were given today by the
state department, however, TO mar

value of United States commerce with
neutral nations. Assistance of the
commerce and treasury departments

non-contrab band merchandise shipped

Workshop in Spread

likely to. indeed 1t is sure to, encour.
age the staphylococci and the strep-
tococci. which always accompany the
tubercle bacillus.
Moreover workshop and factory are
generally constructed not for the en-
ploye but for the business; the
amount of air space to the individual
is not considered by the architect nor
is the arrangement for ventilation;
indeed In some businesses, ventilation
hurts the business; our sanitary sur
vey, II 1t goes through, will show that
in some factories case has followed
case of consumption as in the case of
dwellings.
"A consumptive in giving an account
OF his disease. rarely imputes it to con-
tagion; he recalls once when a fellow
workman raised window and he took
cold which was the cause of his con.
sumption; his disease probably start
ed in cold but the cold was not
started by the open window: any one
given to cold should consult his doc
tor as to what caused it; probably the
lack of pure air was one cause; but
the real cause of his consumption was
the implantation of disease by some
one who already had it; he has re.
peatedly been exposed to an atmos-
phere thick-sown with germs of the
diesase in the shop or factory or
home of consumptive.
