today that, involved in the shipping

from the United States in violation
OF both navigation and neutrality
laws. Shipments of coal which havo
fallen into German hands, upon clear
snce papers believed misleading.
have been the subject Of complaint by
Great Britain. To prevent such Incl
dents tho British contraband patrol
was frightened. 1t is believed.
Cargoes Of coal which were Seized
by German warships in both the Pa
oific and Atlantic, aftsy being ship
signed to neutral ports. e is said. may
become the subject of representations

One of Great Blitain's chief COM

1913, 10000 consumptives annually 60
West to die. Almost every resort city
in the country is today receiving more
consumptives than ever before. In those
places, nearly fifty per cent. OF all deaths
from tuberculosis occur within six months
OF the sufferers arrival.
These facts indicate that the campaign
of education that has for its purpose the
care and cure OF consumptiyeS at home
must be prosecuted with greater Vigor.
Many of the sufferers who 60 West IN
the hope OF finding relief have little or no
money, become charges on the charity
of the new community, or get so des-
pondent over their separation from home
and family that they do not derive the
expected benefit from the more favor

Unquestionably, favorable climatic con-
ditions are OF some importance but too
