Honolulu. She was laying plans to
feed every person who registered in
her precinct, and the precinct was a

White Plague is Waning
In German Prison Camps;
Many French Infected

Berlin, March 5.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press )-Exast fiR-
ures regarding the number and per-
centage Of tuberculosis prisoners Of
war in the scores of German camps
have been collected as result of the
charges, widely circulated abroad,
that prisoners are Intentionally infect
ed with this disease. The figures show
that the French suffer most of all
from tuberculosis. but that the dis
ease on the whole is on the wane.
In the first year of the war there
were discovered in German camps s.
542 tuberculous >Frenchmen, or two
per cent Of the number of prisoners:
in the second year there were 1904
or 0.75 per cent. In those two years
there were transferred to Switzerland
1892 Belgians. 1862 Englishmen, H.
316 Frenchmen. Suffering from tuber-
culods among this number there were
120 lBelgians. 81 Englishmen and 900
Frenchmen. There died later of the
disease in Switzerland two Belgians,
Al Frenchmen and no Englishmeu.
Conditions in the camps were suf-
f1ciently excellent so that the increase
in tuberculosis from the beginning of
the war until the end of July, 1915,
remained behind that of the civil pop
ulation of Europe.
