BAD MOLARS FOIL
WORK IN SCHOOLS
Statistics Showing Nneve Per Cent of Pupils Have Defective Teeth
Point to Need for Permanent Clinics In Dstrc-Haf
of Parents Can't Afford Treatment

NINETY five per cent of the children
in the public schools of the District have
defective teeth.
In some schools as high as 20 per cent
OF the parents OF pupils are unable tinan-
rially to have their chiIdren's teeth
treated.
These two facts form the impressive
argument offered in support of the
movement for the establishment by the
the local schools.
At present the Board of Education has
not a single clinic. Agitation with re-
speCt I" the treatment of school chill
dr"n's teeth resulted several years ago IN
the appointment of TWO dental instructors

Schools
Not only is this number inadequate but
their Work to Il great extent is nullified

clinics. Tho inspectors examine the
teeth of pupils. draw charts of their
mouths, and then send statement to pa
rents. calling attention to defective teeth
Of their children and urging that imme-
daie steps he taken for their treatment.
The parents of many Of the children are
without money to pay for the necessary
treatment. Hence the need for dental
clinics.
Dental Society Urged Clinics.
For years the National Capital Dental
Society urged the establishment of such
clinics hat without making much i'm
preston upon Congress. Consequently it
decided to establish a public school clinic
OF its own until Congress should decide
to act.

from the Board of Education to use a

Rosenthal, on Trial in Lon
don as Spy, Admits They
Are Manufactured.
RAISES SERIOUS QUERY
This Country Will Probe for Truth.
Their Embassy Says Charges
Are Absurd.

The charge OF the spy Rosenthal in
London that the head of the Berlin spy
system has a perfect equipment for man.
ufacturing American passports was
viewed in official quarters her yester-
day as a very serious matter.
This is the first time that the charge
has been made in any quarter that the
frauds against the American passport
system.
Charge L. First One Made.
It has been charged at one time or an
other that agents of the German En-
bassy In this country have been parties
to the obtaining Of American passports
by false pretenses, but 1t never has been
charged that German officials were ac-
tually fabricating American passports.
The charge that embassy agents were
actually involved in passport frauds has
never been proven.
There is no doubt but that the state
ments reported to have been made in
Rosenthars confession will be noted by
the representatives Of the state Depart
ment. Officials here have not yet seen
the fun text of his confession. but it is
expected that it will be forwarded in due
course by Ambassador Page at London.
1t is thought more than possible that
some of his statements will furnish
basis for investigation by the United
States government. 1t may be said, how
ever, that under no circumstances will
the United States take up the matter
with Germany until 1t has been conclu-
sively established that German officials
have been guilty of the fabrications.
Many Cascs Of False Pretense.
All the cases thai have come to
the attention OF the State Department
since the war began have been cases
of false pretenses, and not of the
fabrication Of passports. Many per-
sons of Germany sympathies have
been found to have obtained Ameri-
can passports by swearing to false
statements. while others, as Kuep-
ferle, the confessed spy who hanged
himself in London, obtained a pass
port, to which he was entitled. for
illegal purposes. There have been but
few cases all told, and all have be-
come matters of public knowledge.
The most striking case occurred in
New York, where a number Of per-
sons were prosecuted for having at
tempted to defraud the United States

Greece stilI Uncertain.

Nobody. besides. feels certain that
Greece has finally burned her bridges
behind her. for there is a very strong
feeling that should the operations of
the allied powers against the Darda :
nelles meet with further success the
people of Greece. who hate and despise
the Turks, will lose no time in joining
hands with the triple entente in the
hope of getting their share OF the
booty.
This opinion was recently very
strongly voiced in the semi Official
Berliner "Lokal Anzeigler." when an
Italian paper stated that Greece had
definitely cut loose from the triple
entente after raising demands that in
no circumstances can be granted.
THE statement made in the Italian
paper" the "Lokal AnZeiger" wrote,
observes only limited credence. On
the contrary, we are firmly convinced
that Athens is resolved not TO have
dealings with the triple entente only
as long as the Turks are victorious
in the Dardanclles. II contrary to all
the opposite should hap

tering into an entente with the VIC

By FREDERICK WERNER.

Berlin, June 5.-There is no surer way
to make a German angry at present than
to talk to him of German diplomats and
diplomacy. Even the most patriotic Ger
man acknowledges in his own heart that
his country has been very badly served
by its diplomatic representatives abroad
and consoles himself, as | have seen sew
eral DO. by asserting that diplomatic
trickery is against German nature. which
is blunt. outspoken and open. He sell
dom manages to conceal his bitterness
against the foreign department and it's
mbassadors in almost every country.
The first reproach made against Ger
man diplomats abroad was that they mis-
Informed the government in regard to
political conditions in Russia, England
and France and that if they had been
better posted the present war would not
have broken out.
German EnVoys BIunder.
After the war was declared German
ambassadors in nearly every neutral
country and particularly in the United
States committed one blunder after an
other thus continually adding TO the
number Of Germanys enemies.
There was a short respite in the outcry
against German diplomacy when Turkey
was prevailed upon to enter the war on
the side of the crippled Triple Alliance,
but Turkey has already cost Germany
considerable money and has been an i'm
pediment rather than help because
the Turks have BEEN hopelessly defeated
on land by Russia and perhaps even
more because it is necessary to keep a
very large number OF German officers in
Turkey, at a time when the lack of Off
GERS is very severely felt at home be-
cause of the large number OIL officers
who nave fallen or been taken prisoners
on both fronts.
When Nenizeles fell from power in
Greece In spite of his safe majority in
the chamber and his immense popularity
in Greece, German diplomats lost no
time in asserting that here they had won
a signal victory and redeemed themselves
completely. Their words found no Gre
dence however, for everybody here
