Norfolk, August 2.-The German
merchant submarine Deutschland
passed the Virginia capes at $3.50
o'clock tonight, apparently unobserved
by the allied warshfps waiting for heSs
ana ms Tar as known here, is now safe-
Iy ON her homeward voyage.
No untoward incident marked the
departure of the giant submersibIe.
She WINS accompanied only by her tug
and a newspaper dispatch boat when
she began her 1S-miIe dash from lower
Chesapeake bay to the cares.
After proceeding slowly most of the
way down, she increased her power at
$50 and reached the capes just after
dark None of the allied cruisers was
visible as she passed through.
For several hours prior to the Deutsch-
lands final dash for the capes, she
was hidden near Tangier Island. 50
miles above Cape Henry. The steamer
Somerset and the government buoy
tender Ivy reported during the after
noon that they had passed her at that
point The press boat then took
position near the dividing point of the
Old Point and Cape Henry channels
and awaited the coming of the under
sea vessel.
Shortly after 6 o'clock, the first
sight of the craft was obtained. APP
parently she was about five miles
away and was low in the water, only
her coming tower showing. The Tim
Minis was short distance behind her
and they were running about seven
miles an hour.
DODGED PRESS BOAT
When near the entrance to Mobsack
bay, the Deutschland sighted the press
boat and Immediately reversed herself
and appeared to be making for the
bay After running for about stwo
miles she again headed south until
she was abreast the Timnsns and then

Plans For Road
Make Belief of
TeutOn Drives

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The decision of
the Dutch East India route to the
Cape of Good Hope route has been
popularity accepted here as proof that
the Turks and Germans are preparing
an offensive against Egypt. But an
explanation independent of military
reasons is offered by one of the daily
Iapers. Not war, but economy of op-
Grafton caused the change, according
to this explanation.
Austro-German submarine activities
have resulted in increased insurance
premiums in the Mediterranean traffic.
Ships are delayed at the canal by
shortage of coal. Furthermore, the
canal toll rates are to be raised short
". These increased costs more than
overcome the additional mileage of the
Cape route.
In recent years, the Cape route has
been growing in popularity owing to
it; cheapness. Even before the war the
government of South African Union
recommended the improvement of its
ports to accommodate the growing
trade, and it adopted a scheme for ex-
tensive wharfage and harbor changes.
English companies were the first to
favor the Cape as opposed to the Suez
route.

Spanish Army

MADRID, Feb. Army reform,
with the reorganization of the Spanish
army on modern lines, now stands an
excellent chance of being carried out
by the Cortes, aroused by the lessons
Of the present war. General Luque,
the war minister, has proposed such a
reform since 1906. He regards the
formation of a general staff to be of
fret Importance. To save time, this
has just been done by royal decree
Then comes the task of reducing the
enormous number of officers, particu-
larly generals, with whom SPANS

problem, and one sure to cause a gerat
deal of jealousy and bitterness. Re-
forms in administration and equipment

Are
Humbugged By
War Stamps

LONDON, Feb. stamp collectors
III the United States have been badly
hoaxed in accepting as genuine the
German Kamerun stamp bearing the
oyerprint G. R. l., according to Brit
ish officer with the troops now occu-
plying that African colony. The Ger
man colonial stamps are genuine, he
says, but the overprint is bogus. Ger
mans in the unconquered part of the
colony use the old stamp as it is. Mem
bers of the expedition send their mail
by government frank alone. Civilians
in the part under British protectorate
use the German stamp bearing the
oyerprint of G. E. F. (Cameroons Ex-
peditionary Force. In no case were
the initials of the English King and
his titles printed upon the stamps.

and he believes sanatoriums will be
gradually increased throughout the
Empire as financial conditions permit.
If better methods of prevention and
cure are adopted the scientist declares
he is confident that within a few de-
cades tuberculosis will practically dis
appear from Japan.
So far as observation by foreigners
is concerned the spread of tuberculosis
is in part due to the frequent construc-
ton of Japanese houses in low areas
where the sun rarely enters and to the
habit of tightly closing windows and
doors during the hours of sleep.

jects that 90 into economic questions
with which manufacturers have to
deal Many such questions, complexed
in their relationship to management,
have in large degree been met in a
practical way and solved by the ap-
plication of advanced and we'll consid-
cred business methods. The addresses
to be made it is expected will contain
many citations to unfavOrable condi-
tions that have confronted, and still
confront, manufacturers and represen-
tatives of large interests, but which
have been largely overcome in other
states through coordination of inter
ests, as represented in state manufac-
turers' associations.
In undertaking TO assemble the man
ufacturers of the state in a convention,
t. be representative of the many di-
versifed manufacturing interests in
Georgia, it is pointed out that the time
could not be more opportune than
the present, when every section of the
United States is awakening to the
vast opportunities offered for expans-
ion in trade and commercial activity.
Ii addresses to be made these oppor-
tLnities will be broadly tonched upon
and much stress placed upon the ne
cessity for concert OF action among
manufacturers of the state to secure
to the industries of Georgia their just
proportion OF benefit
All transportation lines in the state
are publishing reduced rates for the
occasion, and it is expected the con
vention will be largely attended.

NEW ATTEMPTS IN
ENJOYS ATsVATICAN

ROME, Feb. Mot since the fall Of
the temporal power of the Pope some
forty-six years ago have there been so
many attempts of hitherto Indifferent
countries to reestablish diplomatic re-
lations by the sending of ministers to
the Vatican, in addition to those al
ready accredited to the government of
Italy at the Qutrinal
England and Holland have renewed
diplomatic relations by sending min
listers to the Vatican, while France is
thought to be represented through the
Principally of Monaco which is the
latest to renew old relations. OF
course since the entrance of Italy into
the war, the Austrian Ambassador to
the Vatican left, as well as the min
listers from Prussia and Bavaria, re-
spectively the Baron Won Ritter and
the Baron Won Muhlberg.
While these three countries Just
named did not in any sense break their
relations with the Vatican and per-
haps even now try to keep in better
connection than ever it was impossible
for them to remain openely here, due
to the peculiar position of the Holy
See.
England has never had a permanent
representative to the Vatican until the
recent coming of Sir John Howard.
formerly British minister to the Hague,
NEngland having in past times appoint
ed special agents to deal with the
special religious questions affecting
her Catholic populations.

tuberculosis Being Fought
Vigorously in Land of Japan

TOXIC, Feb. IA more aggressive
campaign against tuberculosis in ia
pan is being urged by Doctor Shibasa-
buro Kitazato, one of the elading bac-
teriologists of the Empire. Through
his magazine, the Anti-Tuberculosis
Quarterly, DR.. Kitazato calls attention
to the fact that singular condition in
Japan is the large number of tuber-
culOsis cases among the school teach
ers of the country. Among the gram
mar school teachers the death rate
from tuberculosis is "a per ten thous-
and annually The death rate from
tuberculosis for the whole country is
II per ten thousand.
The scientist thinks that the high
death rate among the teachers is one
Of the causes of disease among young
men of CONSUMPTION age which causes
so much apprehension among the
army authorities. Systematic efforts
are being made in the schools to
strengthen the physique of the yGnng
men by physical exercise and by af-
fording ample light and air. The doctor
says that in other countries when the
disease Of the teacher is diagnosed as
tuberculosis he is no longer permitted
to teach and children showing a pre-
disposition to the disease are taught in
separate classrooms.
AS for the appearance of consump-
ton in districts hitherto spared, such,
for example, as mountain regions, Dr.
Kitazato blames the condition in fac
tories in the cities. The factory girl,
lie declares. who has contracted the
malady in the factory returns to her
native village and infects others. He
says that there are 100000 factory
girls in Japan and that the yearly
death rate is about 5000, of whom g.
800 succumb to tuberculosis.
He adds Most Of the factory girls
live in dormitories. Space is at prem
ium in these dormftories, usually about
six feet squore Off three girls. In
many instances two girls are required
to sleep in one bed. Then again the
girls are usually divided into two
shifts. The girls Of the night shift
sleep in the da ytime and work at
night. The girls of the day shift re-
turn and enter the very beds just va
Gated. No opportunity to air the bed
ding is given"
DR.. Kitazato expects to start a spec
ial hospital to treat consumption cases

MANUFA CTURERS
Of GEORGIA WILL.
MEET FEB. 10TH.

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. Handsome
ly engraved invitations are being mail
ed from headquarters of the Georgia
Manufacturers association in the
Chamber of Commerce building, this
city, to manufacturers generally
throughout Georgia, to attend the man
ufacturers' convention to be held here
Thursday, February 10th. These invi-
tations are accompanied by an attract
lively printed program in two colors,

The convention will be opened by
and address of welcome on behalf of
the State by Governor Harris, and in
cluded within the arrangement of sub
jects is a report to be submitted by a
Special Traffic Committee, which is
thought will contain recommendations
for the establishment within the
Georgia Manufacturers Association of
a broad and comprehensive Freight
and Traffic Bureau; said bureau to
deal with all subjects touching trans
p0rtation matters in their various
phases as appertain to the interests of
its members, and all complaints re-
ceived from members against carrier
lines to be thoroughly investigated by
expert traffic authority, to be employ
ed by the association.
A committee report will also be
submitted covering the subject of Vo-
cational Education in Georgia, as an
adjunct to the states present system
of public instruction. 1t is stated much
thought and consideration have been
given this report, with a view to ar
