BLAME ENGLISH ATTACK
FOR n. Y. EXCHANGE RISE
German Bankers See Assault on Teu-
tonic Credit in Neutral
Financial Centers.

BERLIN, via wireless to Tuckerton,
n J., January s.-The renewed rise of
New York exchange is explained by
bankers as largely due to a sympa-
thetic English attack upon German
credit in neutral cities sand financial
centers. Owing to their being open to
the extremely light commercial move
ment, exchange rates yield easily to
even small operations. and moreover
England is under the necessity of buy
ing New York exchange from every
possible quarter in payment for large
American imports.
The rate of exchange touched a new
record today with SAP pfenniEs for

say that the increased rate means
virtually no loss to Germany. because
Germans have no debts to pay in New
York.

CHICAGO. January s.-Maj. Gen.
William C. Gorgas. who waged sue
cessful war against the yellow fever
scourage in Panama, was presented to-
night with the gold medal of the
Geogra phic Society of Chicago for his
DISTINGUISHED services to humanity.
The gold medal has been bestowed
on only two other men. Capt. Roald

ais builder of the Panama canal.

after receiving the badge of honor the
fighter of disease spoke on the subject
.Sanitation in Its Relation to Geogra-
ply.
Means of Combating Disease.
Discussing disease and the means of
combating it, Gen. Gorgas said:
Disease is about as strong and ter
rible an enemy as any which is likely
to invade the United States. The pre-
ventable mortality in this country is
greater than the mortality caused by
the European war. Thousands and
thousands of persons die in America
who could be saved if the sanltar!
millennium had been reached.
Science knows that the chief cause
of disease is poverty-that disease can
never be eliminated SO long as people
are forced to live poorly and close to-
rether. We are endeavoring to do
everything we can by educating the
people In Panama we were able TO
eliminate poverty. The government
doubled our wages. Poverty Nanlshed
nd with disease.
Elimination of Poverty.
How can we eliminate poverty! the
general said. I'm not socialist nor
single taxer nor anything radical
politically But one solution is the
throwing open of the unused lands of
this country. 1t wouldn't matter if one
man owned the whole United States as
long as he kept il worked.
But it becomes dangerous when one
man owns a great deal OF land and
permits il to remain unoccupied. II
