Washington, May Slope that at
the end of the present wal the Nations

effort to keep the peace, backed by a

py President Wilson today in an inter
view with 3 committee of the American

found q fear of militarism in the coun-
nv west of the Alleghanies.
The President odd his callers that
p helpless Nation would be negligible
in a conference to establish the foun-
dations for peace. He said there was
q difference between preparedness and
militarism-that the country vas in
mo danger of the latter, and in re-
Spouse to a question, declared that
compulsory military training was not
contrary to American tradition.
He added that the existing United

BILL TO AID LUNG SUFFERERS.
Condemned ard Defended by Those
Vile Study and Seek to Prevent
tuberculosis.

WASHINGTON. May 11.-Federal aid
in the care OF INDECENT tuberculosis pa
t1ents. as contemplated in the Kent
bill now pending in Congress, was con-
demned by speakers today ct the an
nuaI meeting of the National Assocla-
ton for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis.
The bill would provide for subsidiz-
ing hospitals for the treatment of tu-
b~erculosis. Advocates of the propos-
ed legislation declared it would set the
Federal Government to work solving
the tuberculosis problem, a task too
big for the States by themselves. OPP
ponents said it would defeat its own
purpose and would encourage em1gra-
ton of consumptives to the Western
States. in which the system would be
instituted. creating a new problem.
Representative Kent of California,
author of the bill, champiOned its pro-
visions. By giving Federal subsidies
of rs cents a day to hospitals for the
care of each nonresident patient treat
ed, he said the bill would relieve the
Western states cf a burdC- of uncon-
trolled ana irresponsible migration OF
tuberculosis patients anu would re
strict the spread Of the disease.
Homer Folks, a New York social
worker, and Miss GerS ta0e Vale a
Colorado social welfare expert, OPP
pcsedFtne measure as likely to cause
I~nigrat1on and thus increase the
spread of the disease. All the speak
ers urged a greater Federal interest In
prevention of tuberculosis and more
federal aid in combating its spread.

SHELBY MAN GETS 100000
FROM "BIRTH OF A NATION.
And Now the Rev. Thomas Dixon is
Putting on a Million Dollar Spec
tacle, "FaIl of a NatiOn.'
(From The Charlotte obgerver.)

t -
(From The Charlotte Observer.)
Shelby, May 15.-Thomas Dixon, the
famous Cleveland County writer, min
lister, lawyer and actor, whose remark
able success in financial revenue with
"The Birth Of a Nation reads like a
tale from Arabian Nigts,is now in New
York arranging for the presentation
Of a mammoth spectacle to be known
as "The Fall of a Nation" This is to.
be presented at the Liberty Theater,
New York, the first week in June with
special music by Victor Herbert and
cost nearly q million dollars, according
TO official announcements.
Mr.. Griffin, under whose direction
THE Birth of a Nation was produced
is not concerned in "The Fall of a
Nation
This is Mr.. Dixon's own venture in
which ne is associated with some Wall
street bankers, who were allured by
the prodigious profits made by THE
Birth of a Nation"
The financial history Of "The Birth
of a Nation" reads like romance, and
would in itself furnish material for a
scenario, particularly the wGy in which
owe 100000 was practically forced
into the pockets of Mr.. Dixon its
author.
Mr.. Dixon was willing to sell his
rights in "The Birth of a NatiOn"in the
beginning for an advance of $4,000 and
q small weekly ,royalty, but Mr.. Griffith
and his other associates insisted that
he take a 25 per cent interest in the
profits, but with no advance on royal
ties. His % per cent Of the profits to
date have amounted to over $700, 600.
Miss Alice Kauser, as Mr.. DiXOn's
agent, unexpectedly came into a for
tune because of the authors Windfall.
Her contract with him for placing the
scenario called for 10 per cen Of his
profits, SO that her share of the big
cleanup has been 5000, with no eff
fort on her part but to forward Mr..
Dixon his weekly check, minus her
commission.
, w. H. Clune, who great picture,
Ramona is now coming money for
him ct the Forty-fourth Street Theater,
New York, has profited nearly $500, 900
on "The Birth of a Nation" because he
advanced 10000 toward the original
production, and received therefor a 80
per cent interest in the profits.
Some Boston men whO' bought the
New England rights for $50 900 have
already cleared nearly triple that
amount, and will make as much more.
Mr.. Grifin's share has been about a
million and the minor stock holders
lesser, but very handsome amounts.
Thomas Dixon was born in Shelby.
January .11,1864, and was graduated
from Wake Forest college, 1888, grad
uating from the Greensboro law school
in 1886. He was a member of the
North Carolina Legislature from 1881
to 1886 and resigned to enter the Bap-
fist ministry in October, 1886. He was
pastor of a Baptist church in Raleigh
in 1887. His winter home is at 861
