Financiers Think It Espe- cially Important to Help
 German Restoration
HAS ITS EFFECT
 ON ENTIRE WORLD
German Industrial System Contained Much That Could Be Emulated With Success By Other
 Nations
By HOLLAND

New York. July 12.-tSpecial)-In the Presidents room of one of the largest of national banks in New York there was some informal discussion thls morning ] based upon the outlook. as the leading bankers now see it. upon the part of the United States must take in aiding the bellieerent nations after the war has ended. The vice president of a great bank said that the opinion was becoming gen eral that no small part of the funds the United States will receive in payment for supplies bought here by the neiigerent nations must, when the war is ended, be utilized so 10 assist these nations in repairing waste and stimulating the revival of industry.
 For some reason, the minds of bankers seem to be concentrating upon after-war conditions in Germany Whether Ger
 many wins or loses, a gigantic task will be imposed upon her industrial and com mercial leaders and vast sums of money must be expended in the attempt to re- store the agricultural industry. For it seems to be the view that it would be a grievous injury to the rest of the world if Germany found after the war that her in- Gustrial system was so badly demoraized l that many years. perhaps a generation S ] time, would be necessary to restore it to the condition which characterized it i just before the war began. It is be- l leved to be really of more importance to
 world interests that Germany De re-
 stored industrially IS speedily as possi-
 ble than that the industries of Great 1 Britain or France be revitalzed What ever may be the opinion respecting the
 war spirit-what is called mlltarism- there is but one opinion about the per
 lection to which Germany has brought 1 her industrial system. In that are con- tained lessons which the rest of the world may well learn.
 This view Is enforced or confirmed by communications sent to the United States
 by Baron d Estournelles d'Constant. Two
 or three years ago, this distinguished 1 French statesman, conspicuous for his advocacy of the principle of arbitration,
 visited the United States and delivered
 many addresses. His itinerary included 1 almost all of the largest cities of this | country. As he Is of political influence
 being a senator in the French parliament
 tary body, he war able to supplement au. thoritatively much that he said respecting the industries of Europe and how inn peratlve it was that these should be main
 tained and increased by peace. The baron
 made many acquaintances while in this
 country and to some of them he com
 municated his profound belief that what ever the other terms of peace may be
 there should be terms which would
 make impossible the rapid recovery oi German industrial life. He pointed out
 that the trade and commerce of other
 nations are to no small extent dependent
 upon healthful industrial activity in Ger many. and he believed that it would be
 the duty of the United States to assist

BREATHE THROUGH NOSE
 IN FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS
SOCIAL SERVICE DEpARTMEsT By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

discharged from "open" or ulcerating tu- bercles in the lungs.
 @ A certain number of persons, chiefly infants estimated variously from 1 to 10 per cent of all cases receive the infection from the milk of tuberculous cows.
 tS) very few others may possibly ob- tain the infection from the urine and fe- cal discharges of consumptives or from the pus joints or other parts of the body which are the seat of uleerating tubercu- losis.
 4. In a few extremely rare instances the infection is conveyed through the blood of the mother to an unborn child but the offspring seldom survive long.
 ,. No infection can be conveyed from tuberculosis of the "closed' or nom Liberated variety or after alterations are completely healed.
 With regard to the manner Of in- lection, still bearing in mind that tu- herculosis must be communicated from one person to another we find that by far the most frequent mode of infec- ton is by inhalation; the second is by swallowing, and the least common by inoculation of a wound or abrasion. Considering each of these modes or infection a little more carefully we learn that
 l. The baccilli are, inhaled most oft en in dust. The dust is most often contaminated by careless spitting but the germs may also be given out lh the act of coughing (with the mouth unprotected) or hawking, sneezing, loud talking, singing or laugning- Quiet breathing carries no infection.
 2 The baccilli may be swallowed with food which has been contaminated with infected hands or otherwise and also with the milk. butter and other dairy products derived from cows sur ferng from bovine tuberculosis.
 g. lnoculaton by the infection of cuts scratches, or abrasions is not frequently observed.
 While no age. race or class is immune against infection from tuberculosis, chil- dren are more susceptible than anyone else. At the age of 15, frequently as high as 75 per cent of the population may show the presence of the germs, though not so many may be sick with tuber- cu.osis In view, however. of the fact that these germs may be quiet in the body of the child for years, until with unfavorable surroundings his resistance Is lowered, causing the disease to de- velop, 1t is extremely important that fath- CTS and mothers do everything possible to keep their children away from dan ger Of infection in their earlier years.
 Everything should be done at home to keep the child rugged and healthy. The father and mother, whether they have tuberculosis or not, should be scrupu- lousy careful in their habits of splitting and personal hygiene. The working fath- CT owes it not only to his own health, but to that of his children to avoid tu- berculosis in every possible way.

The Alabama Anti-Tuberculosis league is issuing q series of educational articles through the newspapers of the state 1 have before me the second of these simple but highly informing statements, dealing especially with the mode and sources of infection.
 Perhaps the most ghastly element in the statement must be read "between the lines, that being the fact that the germs of consumption come to us in the south out of the mouths of our negro neghbors. For we read that the baeilli are usually inhaled through the mouth, and that careless splitting" is the source of those bacili. We certainly cannot get rid of these negro neighbors, nor can we easily free them from the disease they carry to their own race and to us
 What then can be done? The one sim plest thing is to teach ourselves and our children to keep the mouth shut when breathing. Deadlest germs are naturally caught and destroyed when entering through the nose. With so strong a req son for practicing proper breathing and for compelling the careless splitter to de- sist. the people of Alabama should easily be leaders in the personal campaign against infection.
 To the man who works for his living, falling sick with tuberculosis means very real danger not only to his own life, but to the lives of his wife and children as well. His weathier neghbor may lay aside his routine cares and take the cure for tuberculosis without materially affecting his famlys health or income The eonsumptive workingman, on the other hand. must give up his job and with it his only income, and at the same time he is frequently compelled to remain at home, a constant source of danger to his family, unless he is properly instructed It may save you who read this article con siderable money and suffering if you learn from it how to avoid the entrance of tu- berculos,s into your body.
 Tuberculosis is infectious and commun- icahe from one person to another. It'd f. fers in some respects from scarlet fever measles. or smallpox, so-caled "conta- gious" diseases. in that tuberculosis re- qures repeated exposures and certain spe- cial conditions to pass the germs from the sick to the we'll It is not inherited but must be communicated through one of the following sources from one person to another:
