War delivered a serious blow to the
customs revenues of the country dur
ing the year 1915, according to figures
made public by the Department of
Commerce today. The revenues were
SIS, 700, 900 lower than for 1914. or 81 y

I'VE have tuberculosis on the run
This statement was made last night
by Dr. Harvey w. Wiley in an address
before a joint meeting of the Medical
Society of the District and the Asso-
citation for the Prevention of Tubercu-
losis. in which he predicted that the
day is not far distant when tubercu-
losis will be a rare disease.
Not quite so rare as leprosy. per-
haps." said DR.. Wiley, but quite as
rare as typhoid fever, or even more SO.
1t may come even before prohibition
or woman suffrage, both of which are
inevitable. Today we reckon the NOR
tally of tuberculosis to amount. IN
round numbers, to 10 per cent of all
deaths In the day which is near at
hand. and to which I have just allud-
ed. it will be no more than ] per cent.
When reduced to this vanishing mini
mum tuberculosis will have lost its
greatest horrors"

at the meeting. which was IN the ma
tuure of a memorial to the life and
work OF the late Surgeon General
George NJ. Sternberg Of the army. the
meeting was held at the George Wash :
ingtop Medical School, and was largely
attended.
Pointing out that while the whole coun-
try should honor Gen Sternberg for the
work he did in the interests OF the pubic
health, DR. Wiley said the people of the
National Capital have "a unique oppor-
tunity to build him d monument, more
lasting than brass.
..If the people of the National Ca pltal.
aided by Congress. representing the whole
country, would give the health officer OF
this city the necessary power and money
to eradicate tuberculosis. this best of
monuments TO great and good man
would be secured, said Dr.. Wiley.
DR.. Gwynn, who has been active in the
establishment of fresh-air classes in con-
nection with the public schools. discussed
the protection of the child from tubercu-
losis through an adequate system OF
school hygiene. He made strong plea
for the appointment OF Il supervisor OF
school hygiene.

dress, giving an intimate description of
the life of Gen. Sternberg and an account
of his more important services in behalf
of humanity.

Views of What Is Needed.

Gen Wood outlined his own views as
to the present needs of the regular
army, regardless of any volunteer or
compulsory short term service plan. He
urged the following. all at full war
strength:
For the Philippines. four regiments
of infantry, two of cavalry and one
and u half of artillery; for Hawaii, six
infantry. one cavalry and two field ar
, tllery: for Panama, four infantry, one
artillery and a squadron of cavalry. At
each he would have, also. two COM
panies OF engineers, an aerial squadron
and full compliments of the medical
and other auXiliaries. In Porto Rico he
urged a full regiment, and agreed with
a suggestion that two regiments might
be raised there, one to be stationed at
Panama. He was anxious that the
Porto Rico regiment be made part of
the regular line.
"The coast artillery" Gen. Wood sa id,
should first be brought up to strength
enough to take the place of all COM
panies that have been sent abroad. Be
yond, that, we should have full COM
panies for all the important batteries
and half companies for the others. de-
pending on the reserves to fill these.
In any future authorizations for Goa st
/ defenses Congress should provide for
the additional men when il provides
for the additional battery. SO that we
should not, as now, be without men to
handle the guns we have.
For continental United States | would
have six complete infantry divisions, two
cavalry divisions of six regiments each,
six regiments of heavy mobile artillery.
in addition to the two regiments of field
artillery with each division, and enough
engineers to have a battalion with ca ch
division, and q pontoon battalion with
each three divisions. The artillery pro-
vision OF two regiments to a division
gives seventy-two guns to $4,000 rifles.
which is about five guns "A thousa nd
rifles, rather less than the European
standard.
THE total makes about 10000 men.
not including officers, but including auxiI-
Haries. In the United States you would
have about 10000 infantry and $4,000
cavalry.

GEN. WOOD SCORES

Tells Senate Military Affairs
Committee State Militia

URGES UNIVERSAL SYSTEM
OF TRAINING IN THE U. S.
Ridicules Statements That Invaders
Could Not Land on American
Shores-0utlines Army Plan

The volunteer system. as existing in
the United States and in Great Britain
was denounced and the state militia
system was placed even lower in the
scale by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. L. S.
A., at hearing before the Senate mill
tary affairs committee yesterday after
noon.
Gen. Wood urged upon the committee
the need of d universal system OF mill
tary training. He characterized the
Hay bill. which includes the recon-
mendations OF Secretary Garrison OF
the War Department for continental
army, and which would increase the
regular army to about 10000, as ut
terly inadequate.
Commenting upon the Chamberlain
bill, whose author is the chairman OF
the Senate committee on military af-
fairs, Gen. Wood said that it was sound
in principle. but that it did not recon-
mend increases sufficiently large in in
fantry, artillery and engineers. This
bill provides for universal service in
the continental army. and also for a
considerable strengthening of the reg
uar forces.
The day OF the small professional
army is past said Gen. Wood. gu
must have some military training OF a
large number of men.
He pointed out the dangers OF lnva-
sion to which this country is subject,
and ridiculed statements made by
many persons that a foreign force of
large proportions could not land on the
coast of the United States in short
time, pointing out that Great Britain
had sent 10000 men in ninety-six yes
sells to the DardanelleS and landed them
in the face of vigorous resistance.
