Country Suffers Economic Loss
of S215,5OO,OOO Yearly.
Startling Figures Presented at
Anti.TuberculOs Meet.

Speaker Says Fight Should Not
Be Hampered by States.
Drop in Death Rate Testifies to
Good Already Wrought.

Seattle. Wash, June 15.-That TINS
country suffers an economic loss OF
s214.5OO,OOO every year through the
death of tuberculosis victims and per-
sons of consumptive tendencies was
the startling statement made by DE-
George NJ. Kober of Washington, u. -
president of the National ASSOCIATION
for the Study and Prevention OF Iu-
berculosis, before that body in conVeno
tion here today. In 1913, 143'ooo
nersons died from tuberculosis IN tne
United States, which, according TO LII.
Kober, signifies the presence OF ABOUT
100000 consumptfves in TINS country.
Great and grave as the problem
NAV appear, there is certainly nope
when we consider that the death rate
from this disease has been reduced
from 326 per 1000 population IN
1880 to 1915 in 1913" stated DR.. Ko-
Der. This means that if the former
rate had been continued the number
of deaths from this cause would nave
been 322,O27 instead of $4,000 IN
1919. equivalent to saving OF 49,
OF during one year.

cal director of the Tuberculosis league
of Pittsburg, declared the universally

states rights should not be allowed

all states of the laws affecting tuber-
culosis prevention enacted in New
York and Massachusetts,.
Discussing the medical professions
responsibility in the battle against tu
berculosis, DR.. John Ritter of Chicago,
who is the physician in charge of the

dispensary, told the clinical section of

skin vaccination a larger cutaneous
surface may be exposed for the pro-
duction of these defense agencies than
may be possible by any other method"
Overlooking Wrong.
Asserting that the most frequent
problem to be solved in treating the
consumptive is food and its assimila-
ton, DIR. Ethan A. Gray of Chicago de-
clared that 'even since the campaign
against tuberculosis attained full
Roadway, forced feeding of highly nu-
tritious food has been the common
practice
This. DIR. Gray said, was radically
wrong, for overlooking often results in
complete loss of appetite and very lit
tie gain in weight. The best diet is
that which appeals to the patient, even
if it is plain corned beef and cabbage,
said the physician.
Drs. John B. Manning and Howard

Rome Fails to Mention Move
Nearer Triest.
Extent of TeutOnic Victory in
GaIicia in Doubt.

Although recent press dispatches
have stated the Italians who crossed
Lower IsonZO were pushing forward
toward TrieSt, skirting the head of the
Gulf of Triest. an official announce
ment from Rome today gave no indi-
cation of a further advance in this
direction. The situation along the
Isonzo is dismissed with references to
minor engagements and the statement
that the Austrian losses have been
serious Elsewhere along the front
small Italian victories are claimed.
The Italian war office charges Aus
tria with the encouragement of brig
andage in the territory occupied by
Italy.
The extent of the new AuStro-Ger-
man victory in Galicia is in doubt. AL
though Berlin and Vienna assert the
whole Russian line over a forty-three
mile front north and east of Przemysl
was broken down, it is said officially
at Petrograd that the Russians recap
tured on Sunday almost all the ad-
vanced trenches north of Przemysl lost
on saturday.
Further south in the region of the
WisZnia river, successes of the Teu-
tonic forces are acknowledged.
An announcement from the Turkish
war office claims a victory over the

Emperor From Battle Front to
Study BernstOrff Plea.
ENGLISH BACKDOWN IS SEEN
Berlin Believes British Asked
for Blockade Mediation.
Wilson's Renewal of Offer
Causes Surprise in Germany.
BY KARL ACKERMAN.


Berlin, June 15.-Ambassador Ger
ard expects to confer with the kaiser
before Germany's reply to the second
American note is forwarded to WASH
ington. The emperor is expected to
return to Berlin after the foreign Of
Gerhard, the special envoy en- route
here from Washington.
Considers Food Proposals.
The German reply will not be COM
pleted for at least a fortnight. 1 I'M
derstand Ambassador Gerard learned
this at a luncheon at the embassy at
which Foreign Secretary Jagow and
Under Secretary Zimmerman were his
guests. In the meantime Germany
will consider President Wilson's sug-
gestions regarding proposals of i'm
proving food conditions and will also
collect data bearing on the Lusitania
case.
1t is believed here that the portion
of the second American note with re-
gard to President Wilson's willingness
England respecting ocean shipments
was based on formal intimation from
England. 1t is understood here that
England informed the United States
that she was willing to modify her
blockade of Germany and permit food
supplies to enter if Germany would
modify her submarine campaign
against British merchantmen.
Offer Is Big Surprise.
L was reliably informed that Amer
lea Informally told Germany before
Germany replied to the first note, that
she (America) would not repeat the
offer to mediate between the two bel
Hgerents this point. The new ref
erence to this suggested in Pres
ident Wilson's second communication,
therefore, caused the greatest sur
prise here. 1t is the belief here in
Berlin that America must have the
strongest reason for its change in at
titude and in we'll informed circles it
is the opinion that this reason is the
knowledge that there is a changed
attitude in London.
London Officials Reticent.
London, June 15.-Oficial circles
here were extremely reticent regard
ing the report cabled from the Ber-
lin bureau of the United Press that
England was willing to modify her
blockade decree, if Germany changed
her plan of submarine warfare. Gov
eminent officials said they knew moth
ing of the report that England had
informed the United States she was
willing to reach compromise with
Germany.
