Dardanelles Naval Fight Causes Losses Only in Secondary Defenses, is. Report in Lond lon n-LtH in Fighting in the, West.

London, March 23-The fail of PrzemysI is characterized here as the throwing down of the last bar of the gateway in to Hungary, and in England san early Russian advance in that direction is anticipated. The German press, which has warm praise for the gaIlantry of the defenders of this GaIieian for tresse does not attempt to mini mize the effects of it's surren- der and expresses uneasiness concerning the result on the long eastern battle front of the Teutonic allies.
 Battle in Straits
 The latest authentfc information from the DardaneIles sets 1orth posi- lively that only the secondary de- lenses of the straits have suffered from the bombapdment of the allied fleet; the forts in the na9Hows are in- tact. This report finds Confirmation in the present status of the. dipi6- matte situation in the near east zshioh A1CS<lSss lne1L lSEHLeS no nearer interested in the quarrel than they were when the baE1Ieshi9s of the allies first appeared off the Dardanelles.
 In spite of the ofgtirnistie tone Of tn e. Greek press it is not generally believed in London that the entente powers have made any further ad- vances to the new Greek cabinet. while in Grecian circles there is growing feeling that Bulgaria may again assert her primacy in Balkan affairs by taking the first step to- ward active participation in the struggle
 The lull along the western battle front now apparently is being dupli- cated in the east where nothing more than isolated actions are being re- ported.
 Aviators of the allies have retail ated for the German raid on Paris by forays over territory occupied by the enemy.

a rare old currency bill. 1t is
North Carolina currency and
bears the number 2999. 1t reads

the lower left corner there is a
cut of a fish. The dimensions OF
the bill are 2t by 3 inches. II
is remarkably well preserved
though it boasts of the extreme
old age of 1875 years.

The States Policy For The Con-
troll OF tuberculosis

"The death rate in the future,
says a State Health Bulletin,
lust issued, is going to WELD poll
tical influence for or against ad-
ministrations and parties. All
progressive states are reducing
their death rates and thereby
demonstrating to the world that
those states that are not doing
so are defective in their govern
ment machinery.
AS tuberculosis causes one-seven-
tn of all the deaths in the State
and one-fourth of all allpreventable
deaths, the Bulletin points out
that here lies one-fourth of the
States opportunity to prevent
disease and thus reduce her death
rate. 1t says that tuberculosis is
clearly a State problem of such
magnitude as to call for a def
mite and comprehensive State
policy for its control. But IN
working out this policy Of hand
ling the tuberculosis problem tits
realized that North Carolina is
not able to carry the burden alone.
She has 5000 deaths a year from
the disease, and $4,000 helpless
cases. The lowest average cost
day for a patient in the average
sanatorium of the United States
is S1.66. 1t is readily seen that
North Carolina could not handle
her 3, 900 or 1900 durable con-
