DETECTING TUBERCULOSIS

Anybody can diagnose consump,
ton in the late stages" saws DR.
Lawrence Brown of Saranac Lake, N,
T., who is one of the country's best
diagnosticians for early tuberculosis,
| After the disease has progressed to
the point where there is frequent
coughing, much sputum, fever, sweats
and flushed face, even a careless doc
tor VIII know it, but a diagnosis at
that stage is not worth much to the
sick man."
1t is DR.. Browns opinion that con-
sumption should be diagnosed not
only before there are bacilli in the
sputum, but also before the physic-
ians can tlnd any signs in the chest
He holds that whenever a person
who has been exposed to tuberculosis
injection, particularly in childhood.
and who later passes through any de-
bilitating experiences and then de-
velopes a little fever, has a little
cough, tires easily, loses color and
loses a little weight, a diagnosis of
probable tuberculosis should be made,
even though a physical examination
showes no signs of consumption in the
lungs and there are no bacilla in the |
SPGtuHi' thcIe is any Sputum.
This probability is increased if the
person is ten pounds below the aver
age weight for height and age, and |
IT he has a pulse that is a few beats |
say ten, faster than the average. In
other words, he puts the history and
the general sizing up of the situation
above all other factors in making a
diagnosis of very early stage con-
sumption. He certainly puts It ahead |
OF bacilli in the sputum as a sign, for
that sign comes rather late. He saws
symptoms are better and more ac-
curate guide to activity than physical |
signs.

ical metal industries pig iron produc-
ton shows a gratifying increase. the
output on June lst being 5000 tons
per day greater than on May lst. In
got production of the u. S. Steel Cor
poration is being maintained close to
81 per cent of capacity, the estimated
rate OF incoming business being one
third greater than in January of this
year. A large part of this is due to the
war and war orders, other departments
OF the business showing a somewhat
tagging tendency. The demand for
metal working machinery continues
good, there being an unlimited de-
mand for lathes from producers of
shrapnel shells. Railroad equipment
business gained considerable impetus
during May by the placing of large
orders for cars and locomotives, but
equipment buying for the first FIVE
months of the year is still much below
the same period of 1914. The ship
building industry gives promise of a
period of prosperity never before
dreamed of. The demand for new ships
is unprecedented, many companies be-
ing hlled up for several years to come
and unable to bid on additional bust
ness.
Six Months Financing.
For the first six months of the cur
rent year the corporate financing re-
corded has amounted to only $768, l74.-
oOO. This is the smallest amount for
any similar period on record. and is
$5l4,O2o,2O0 less than in 1914. The
hrst hall of 1912 holds the distinction
OF contributing the unprecedentedly
large total of $l,507, 146, 400. New Sc

 GERMANY JUSTIFIED
 TN SINKING VESSEL
Impossible For Submarines to Give Warning In Such Instances, He Says In a Statement

New York, May 9.-Dr Bernhard Dernburg. former colonial secretary, in talk with representatives of thu press here tonight. reiterated state ments he made in Cleveland yesterday holding that Germany was Justified in sinking the Cunard liner Lusitania. Dr. Dernburg said that the act merely showed the determination of Germany 70 carry out it's announced policy of preventing any ships carrying muni- tions of war and supplies from reach ing British ports.
 q am sure" pr. Dernburg said, "thar Germany regrets the loss of life of Americans through the sinking of the Lusitania. but sufficient warning was given.
 In an incident such as the Lust tania affair. a submarine cannot give ne necessary warning. The Lusitania is a fast bot It could speed out oi range of a sll marine in a short time
 For this reason the German gov ernment through it's embassy in Wash ington warned Americans before the ship sailed. That was the next best thing that could be done.
 Every person seeking passage Oh q vessel crossing the Atlantic can obtain the information whether that vessel |, carrying munitions of war and stand, the chance of meeting the fate tn, Lusitania met
 'The desire of the German govern ment Is to keep peace and oontinu' her friendly relations with America, added Dr. Dernburg.

LATEST ESTIMATES PUT DEATH LIST OF
 SHIP UP ID 1900
Lingering Hopes That There Might Be Further Sur vivors Dissipated-Prob- lem to Identify Dead

London, May s,--G1 D. m.)--Latest estimates here put the death roll in the sinking of the Cunarder Lusitana at we'll up to 1500
 Superintendent Dodd of the cunard line today dashed lingering hopes that there might be further survivors in . statement that said:
 The only problem now Is to identity the nameless dead
 So far as can be ascertained about TOO persons escaped when the liner sank after being struck by German torpedoes, but of these 45 have died from exposure or from injuries. Lord Mersey is to conduct an in- quiry into the disaster and until that begins official opinion as to how thd Lusitania came to be caught and why so many lives were lost will remain secret. The general unofficial opinicn is that several German submarines were assigned to the task of attacking the liner and that they maneuvered her into position from where she could not escape. Passengers say that
 Tor sometime before the first torpedo was fired the Lusitania had altered Ter course and they ascribe this to the fact
 that one German submarine had shown herself, sending the big liner in ths direction where others were waiting to | strike.
 | Beyond anger at the Germans the ! catastrophe has had no effect on the ] British people. Steamers are arriving | and departing as usual and even i steamers to Ireland are being freely patronized.
 The heavy loss of life on the Lrsi- tania was due. rescued passengers re- 1 lieve to the fact that some officers at | least reassured them after the first tur- | pedo struck that the Lusitania would
 l emain afloat Preparations were made 10 launch the boats but before this l oould be done second torpedo hit the
 steamer and she listed so badly trat | the crew could only work the boats l on one side of the ship.
 Another factor was the extreme con- 1 fdence of the passengers themselves in the infallibility of the water-tght com l.artments.
 The Lusitania was not in the British navy list among the merchant vesseis | commissioned as naval auxiliary craft and Cunard officials deny that she was
 ever used for that purpose.

Volunteer Doctors Working With Rescued at Queens town-W. s. Fisher Tells of Tragedy

Queenstown, May 9.-(11:5 :55 a. m.) Injured survivors of the Lusitania are reported to be progressing today. Of the volunteer doctors none has been buster than Dr. Howard Fisher of New York, who was rescued after being in the water three hours.
 pr. Fisher now numbers among his patients Lady Mackworth, Lady Allan of Montreal, and Dr. Fisher's sister-in law, Miss Dorothy Conner. who also IS a cousin of Henry I. Stimson. ex-Sec- retary of War of the United States.
 pr. Fisher, a brother of Walter L. Fisher formerly Secretary of the Inter- for of the United States was on his way to Belgium for Red Cross duty. His story follows:
 "1t is not true that those on board were unconcerned over the possibility of being torpedoes I took the big liner to save time and also felt she would have more chance of staying up than any other. But like everybody else aboard I felt sure in case of being tor pedoed that we would have time to take to the boats.
 T do not know what case is being made out for, the Cunard people, but l cannot say that either discipline or pre- cautions were up to the standard.
 When heard ths crash rushed to the port side No Officer was in sight boat swinging just opposite the grand entrance. Women, children and men made a mad scramble about this boat which was smashed against the side throwing all the occupants Into the sea
 "Then a sailor and passenger launched a second boat, which carried chiefly women and children.
 We then saw the first glimpse of an officer. who came along the deck and spoke to Lady Mackworth, Miss Conner and myself, who were standing in a group: Don't worry; the ship will right herself He had hardly moved on be- fore the ship turned sideways and then seemed to plunge headforemost into ths sea.
 'I came up surrounded by swimmers dead bodies and wreckage. I got on ar upturned yawl. where I found 30 other people, among them Lady Allan, whose collarhone was broken.
 Another passenger on the yawl. a man whose name did not learn. had his arm
 
 yas due to the explosion. This arm was amputated successfully with a butcher. knife by an Italian surgeon aboard g tramp steamer which picked me ,dp.
 This tramp was flying the Greek flag hence the report that a Creek steamer was on the scene It was midnight be fore I arrived at hotel in Queenstown
 Speaking with considerable bitterness pr. Fisher concluded:
 'I do not see how either the Cunart company or the admiralty can hold them selves free from blame for this tragedy The authorities allowed great shil loaded with valuable cargo to proceed through known dangerous waters withou single torpedo boat as a convoy"

Robert Rankin of New York Describes Attack on Lusi- tania-Other Survivors Tell Stories of Their Els cape and Rescue

Washington, May 9.-StaIements by American survivors of the Lusitania eabled to the state department by Consul Frost tonight at Queenstown gave brief graphic descriptions of the destruction of the great liner by a German subma- rine.
