TUBERCULosIs DEATH Rate DE
CLINEs TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT.
Ten year drop due in large part to &C
tivities of anti-tuberculosis societies.

While the latest report of the Blu
reau of the Census shows that in 1914
tuberculosis caused over los per cent.
of all deaths in the registration area
of the United States. The National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis points out in a
statement issued today that the death
rate from this disease is steadily de-
creasing, having declined from 2O0.7 per
100000 population in 1904 to 146.s in
1914. This would indicate the Asso-
citation claims, that the anti-tubercu-
losis movement organized in the last
ten years is having marked effect on
the mortality of tuberculosis, especially
since the death-rate from this disease
seems to be declining more rapidly than
the general death-rate from all causes.
Commenting on this decrease in the
rate from tuberculosis, the Bureau of
the Census says: GAS a result of a
more general understanding of the laws
of health, the importance of fresh air,
ETC., due in part, no doubt, to the eff
forts of the various societies for the
prevention of tuberculosis, there has
been a most marked and gratifying de-
crease during recent years, in the NOR
tally from this scourge of civilization.
In only a decade from 1904 to 1914
the death-rate from tuberculosis in all
its forms fell from 200.7 to 1868 per
100000, the decline being continuous
from year to year. This is drop of
more than 25 per cent"
AS an indication of the growth of the
campaign against tuberculosis, The Ma
tional Association for tie Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis shows that
il 1905, when the campaign was def
nitely started, there were in the United
States only thirty-nine anti-tuberculosis
associations, lis sanatoria and hospi-
tails, twenty special clinics, no open air
schools, and not more than 5000 peo-
pie actively interested in the proven
ton of this disease. At the close of
the year 1915 there were over $500
anti-tuberculosis associations, 600 sana-
toria and hospitals, $50 dispensaries,
500 open air schools, and over 100000
people actively interested in the pre-
vention of tuberculosis. Besides this
the fundamental truths that tubercu-
losis is a communicable, preventable
and durable disease have been carried
into almost every village and hamlet
and to millions of men, women and
children in great variety of ways.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
los East 22nd Street, New York City,
will gladly send literature on tubercu-
losis to those who wish it.

CROCKER LAND
Seen SAYS PEARY
is SURE HE FOUND LAND IN 1906
MIGHT HAVE BEEN DE-
CEIvED.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Rear Ad-
miral Robert e. Peary reiterates his
confidence In tn existence Of Crocker
Land and his belief that he saw 1t in
July. 1905. The admiral's statement
telegraphed to The Tribune from his
summer place in Maine, was called
forth by the fact that Ensign Fitz-
hugh Green, the naval officer as
signed to the Macmillan Crocker Land
Arctic expedition. made no report OF
whether the expedition found
Crocker Land in announcing to the
navy department his safe arrival al
Copenhagen on August 19.
After quoting from his original
narrative of his expedition the stor,
OF his first view Of what he believed
to be Crocker Land Admiral Peary
said.
"It may be that Macmillan and
were both misled by the nearly per
manent clouds of condensation over
persistent lanes of water. Or un
usual refraction which occurs in thu
Arctic regions may have lifted int
low the horizon. and my estimate OF
the distance Of Crocker Land may
have been too moderate. It will bt
well to await the completion OF
Stefansson's, discoveries before dis
missing Grocker Land"

WOMAN SPY
PUT TO DEATH
ORDERED KILLED BY COURT
MARTIAL-LosES APPEAL
TO HIGHEST COURT.

BERLIN Aug. 26 (By Wireless) -
I'm Marseilles on August %, a wo-
man named Pfaat, % years old was
shot as a spy" says the Over Seas
News agency. She had appeared
against the death sentence of the
court-martial at Marseilles but the
Paris court of appeals rejected her
plea.
"The Cologne Gazette states this is
not the first case in which the French
have put woman to death during
the war. 1t recalls the agitation OF
the English -. and French Press in re-
gard to the case of Miss Edith Cavell
whose execution for high treason and
continued spying caused these news
papers to express indignation. The
Cologne Gazette asks whether the
same ideas will hold good now that
German woman has ben put to
death by the French"
A Marseilles dispatch Of August 22
told Of the execution of Felice Pfaat
as a spy.
The charge against Miss Edith Ca
veil who was put to death in Brus.
sells last fall, was given in dispatches
at that time as having assisted Brit
ish, French and Belgians to escape
from Belgium.

BRUNSWICK FREE
FROM RECRUITS
LIEUTENANT DRAKE WILL OPEN
STATIONS IN ALMA AND
QUITMAN.

Brunswick is as free from recruits
as snake is of hips said one of the
National Guardsmen a few days ago.
For couple of weeks or more Lieut.
Drake and his co-workers have been
in the city keeping open a recruiting
office. During that time they have
seen nothing of anything that looked
like recruit.
Knowing that they would hardly
be able to secure any recruits here
Lieutenant Drake wrote headquarters
asking permission to go out and can
vass. While he and his co-workers
have awaited the answer there has
been nothing they could do. While
they have been in Brunswick, Recruit
ing Officer Peterson has been sending
out and establishing substations and
getting a number of enlistments for
the reular army.
Yesterday permission at last came
and Lieutenant Drake will send out
men Tuesday to establish stations at
Alma and Quitman. Corporal Gres-
ham will go to the former place and
Sergt. Kay to the latter. They ex-
pect to get recruit at last.

WAsalNsToN, Aug. 2G.--Wilson
t day went to the Capitol and conferr-
ed with leaders in conarens telling
them OF demands made by railroads
that congress should guarantee some
way Of increasing revenue If they meet
demands Of employees.
It II understood they will ask Inter
state Commerce commission to be
allowed to increase rates. The presi-
dents Of the ralroads have Sgreed to
reject the presidents plan unless. he
guarantees that congress would help
roads increase revenue. The railroad
employees state that only an unquali-
fled S-hour day of government opera
ton can stop strikes.
With counter-propositio ready to
proclaim the Brotherhoods' eight-hour
work day on the ten hour basis. the
railway presidents and managers this
afternoon called on President Wilson.
Definite action is improbable before
Monday. 1t Is understood that Presi-
dent Wilson has communicated with
great financial interests in New York
preparatory to calling on them to aid
him in preventing tie-up Of the rail-
roads, II the present negotiations end
IN deadlock
The railroad strike situation this az
ternocn was more tense. 1t was un-
derstood that President Wilson has
been told the brotherhood leaders ex.
pect difficulty restraining the men af-
ter tonight. Among brotherhood lead
era II was said that only one unquali-
fed concession, that OF an eight-hour
day, or the taking over OF the rail
ways for government operation, would
prevent strike.
President Wilson this afternoon
went to the capital, presumably In
connection with the strike siuation.
He saw Senator Kern and Chairman
Rowlanda, Of the Senate Commerce
commission in charge Of legislation al
fecting interstate roads.

Fifteen and half cents is as high

paying these prices. The price yes
terday here was an increase of a

THE PURPOSE is NOT KNOWN
Former Grand Juries Have Con-
demned the Existence of the
Shed BY Means of Which Two

THE PURPOSE is NOT KNOWN

The escape of Aaron Williams, the
condemned murderer from the Glynn
county Jail on Thursday evening, July
II, in the face of the fact that he was
to have been executed on the follow
ing day, has been the subject of a
grand jury invstigation. 1t will be re-

smith, of Glynn superior court ad-
journed the May term of the court, he
/ did not finally dismiss the grand jury.
then serving. but left it in recess.
On Friday, Foreman c. D. Parker of
that body appointed special commit
tee to investigate the matter of the
Williams escape and report back to
grand jury, which in turn will make
a special presentment of the incident,
when Judge Highsmith next comes to
this city for a chambers session. The
committee named by Foreman Parker
consisted of J. B. G. Bitch, G. w.
Harper, R. M. Martin ]. E. Young,
and others. This committee yester-
day visited the Jail and inspected the
cell from which Williams made his es-
cape. Sheriff Berrie, Jailer Lowe and
Williams himself were all questioned.
Of course the members of the COM
mittee were not disposd to talk about
the subject. when questioned by rep
resentative of The News, but it is
known that the question of whether
or not the county Jail is or is not file
proof. is involved in the investiga-
ton.
It will be remembered when the new
Jail was turned over to the county
the matter of it's being constructed
according to specifications was openly
discussed and at least one grand jury,
made some rather pertinent recon-
mendations on the subject.
1t is very likely that Judge High
smith will be in Brunswick during the
week for the purpose of again passing
sentence on Williams, and if so
something ON the investigation Is liza
