PARIS APPROVES NOTE.

Paris, Jan. 12-Unanimous approval
of the reply Of the Allies to President
Wilson's note is voiced by the morn
ing papers, the only difference being
in the terms of expression. Alfred
Capus, editor of the Figaro, says:
1.-The principal value of the note is
the clear and clean declaration of the
Allies as to their objects inIpursuing
the war. 1t is the first time thew
have been thus grouped and their full
moral worth, given to them by their
simple enumeration, forces upon the
mind the conviction Of their necessity.
Either they will be fully attained or
Germany will be a continual menace
to Europe and on the first opportunity
will again turn it into a field of car
mage. Our enemies are now in pos
session of our true aims. They can
compare them with their own and
deduce therefrom the degree Of our
resistance and our implacable re-

EXPECT 20 PER CENT.
INCREASE IN SALES
. OF RED CROSS STAMPS

Reports to date which have been re-
ceived by the State tuberculosis
Commission indicate that approx
matelv 100000 Red Cross Christmas
Seals were sold in Connecticut during
the last season. A large number OF
reports are still to be received from
local agents and the commission is
confident that the total sale will be
considerably over three million, which
would be an increase of about 20 per
cent. over last years sale.
In 1914, the first year that the State
Tuberculosis Commission took charge
of the sale of Red Cross Seals, the net
sale was 10000 which was an in
crease of about 80 per cent. over the
previous: and in 1916 the sale amount
ed to 100000. The net proceeds from
the sale of seals will be used by the
various organiza tons throughout the
state for tuberculosis relief work in
their respective towns and cities.
The State tuberculosis Commission
considers that the sale this year has
been especially gratifying in view of
the numerous other demands for as
sistance to the suffering humanity in
Europe.

It was reported that DR.. Hermann
M Biggs, New York State Commits
sioner of Health. was going to France
to do sanitary work in connection
with the Rockefeller Foundations in
curry into the spread of tuberculosis
among. non-combatants, but it Is now
known that he went merely as an In
vestigator. Jerome D. Greene, secre-
tary Of the Foundation, issued this
explanatory statement:
referring to the publication in the
newspa pers of the fact that DR.. Her.
mann NJ Biggs, State Commissioner
of Health, was going to France to
study the tuberculosis situation. it
should be distinctly understood that
DR.. Biggs has not been asked and
does not intend to conduct sanitary
operations in France. That is a func-
ton which necessarily devolves upon
the French agencies, both govern
mental and civic, which have already
given a great deal of attention to this
subject.
"In any comprehensive plan for
combating the spread Of tuberculosis
there will doubtless be a large Oppor-
tunity for private benevolence, and 1t
is for the purpose of ascertaining in
what way outside help can be made
most welcome and effective that DR..
Biggs is being sent by the Rockefeller
Foundation"
