Three Dumba Letters.
In all there are three Dumba let
ters dated Aug. 90 and all addressed
to Baron Burian. The first is the let
ter already published relating to pro-
posals for the prevention OF the pro-
ducton Of war materials. The second
deals with Secretary Lansings reply
on the munitions protest.
In this DR.. Dumba declares the legal
arguments of the United States ARE
certainly very weak, for the references
to articles supplied by Germany and
Austria during the Boer war are not
to tho point and are misleading
The letter added: "The true ground
for the discouraging attitude Of the
President lies. as his confldant Mr..
House, already informed me in Janu-
ary and now has repeated. Is the fact
that the authorities. in serious crisis.
would have to rely on neutral coun-
tries for all their war material. At no
price and .n nc cause will Mr.. Wilson
allow this source to dry up"
1t ls in this letter that the reference
to "Mr. Meagher" is made.
The third letter tells OF the publlca-
tlon of the documents stolen In New
York from a member OF the German
embassy.
Valuable Papers Stolen.

describing the stealing of portfolio
from Heinrich Albert. commercial at

which. it Is believed here, will cre-
ate almost as great n sensation in
America as the original note which re-
su,ted IN the demand for tho recall OF
the ambassador

In another letter DR.. Dumba tells his
superior how Count Won Bernstorff. In
q note to Secretary Lansing, cleverly
dodred the storm that broke when
American newspapers revealed the ac-
tiyities Of the Austro-German diplo-
mats in trying to cripple the munitions
Industry Of the country.
Count Won BernstorfYs letters relate
entirely TO Archibald and his pro. Ger
man nctivitier In the United States.
In one, a letter OF Introduction given

Referring to the sinking Of the Adri-

but most striking Of all Is one of the
new letters from Ambassador Dumba
to Baron Rurian. It criticizes Secre-
tary Lansing's reply to the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister's protest
against the export Of munitions from
the United States, but advises against
further protests in the matter "hnv-
ing regard to the somewhat self-wiIied

The chief success Of the Germans
in the last day or two seems to have
been on the Dvina front. Southwest Of

e1iphurie Acid Scandal. N
Great prominence is given by the
Globe today. to what it describes as
the scandal Of shlphuric acid"
I'm the spring Of this year. for
reasons believed to be good and sum-
cient, doubtless but which we hope
will be made the subject Of inquiry by
the house of commons" said the Globe.
."the fir1n Of Tenant, Sons & Co.. re-
motely connected in a family sense
with member Of the cabinet, was
commissioned to buy large quantities
Of sulphuric acid in America. Why
no attempt was made to secure acid In
this country we will not stop to in
Quire."
Shipments lnjure Ships.
The Globe declared the methods OF
shipment Of acid was SO detective that
hundreds of thousands Of pounds were
lost. It is declared the acid is for
warded In impure form in iron drums,
in which, even had the acid been pure
would have corroded and leaked It
is said ships were damaged by escap-
ing acid. which released noxious gases,
endangering the health of the crews.
In one case, according to the news
paper. the crew refused to leave port
and the acid was held up in New York
for two months.
Two steamships have been damaged
so badly that there Is nothing to do
but buy them at q cost Of 100000.
The Globe suggests two questions.
"Why the acid was not shipped in
proper vessels, and who has made good
to the owners, Tenant & Co., or the
government?"

PAYS TRIBUTE TO- NORTH CAROLINA
NEWSPAPERS HELP|DOCTOR URGES FOR
ASSISTING HEALTH.RURAL SANITATION

ROCHESTER, n. Y, Sept. S.-The
need for improving rural sanitation
was strongly urged by DR.. w. S. Ran
kin, secretary of the North Carolina
state board of health, in a paper read
before the American Public Health
association today when he pointed out
that the field of rural sanitation EN-
braces more than SO per cent of th4
area of the United States and more
than half of the country's population.
DR.. Rankin declared that the work
of improving rural standards of santa
ton should be initiated by the state
governments and conducted by the
local or county governments He
pointed out that there are 1858 coun-
ties in the United States, an average
of Sc to state, and that this multi
plicity of governments affords a null
tiplicity of opportunity to the state
governments in the development of ru
raj sanitation. At the same time he
pointed out that rural public health
work must be conducted on a lower
per capita cost than urban or NUM-
cipal health work.
AS one method of dealing with the
problem CT rural sanitation, he ad-
vocated that the state propose a def
mite plan to deal with some particu-
lar health problem and agree to ex-
eaute the proposed plan for a definite
county appropriation. This plan might
be some particular disease problem
as, for example, the free vaccination
of a large proportion of the county
population; Or it might be more gen
eral sanitary plan restricted to some
particular locality as a township or
precinct, This method had been tried
in North Carolina with considerable
success, he said.
