PROTECT NATION FROM INVASION BY
 DISEASE GERMS
Public Health Service Has Prepared for Whatever
 Emergency May Come.

Washington July 28.-As result of untiring efforts extending oyer a period of several years the United States Public Health service has, with only two breaches in it's notifications, completed it's wall against invasion of disease from Europe as an antici- pated aftermath of the present war. New York and Baltimore are the only considerable ports of the United States maintaining local and separate quarantine stations over which the federal government has no jurisdic- tion or where it has no independent service.
 The Public Health service is antici- pating great influx of immigration, tainted with the diseases that are com mon to many of the concentration camps in the European war zone. With the coming of peace it is expected that the United States will be the mecca to which hundreds of thousands will turn their eyes as the promised land for the establishment of their for tunes or the making of careers. To make living in Europe for some yCdIo, lO SCCuIo CCI CdAIl, VIII uOI Ol- fer good prospects to the worker.
 Cholera and typhoid are two forms of disease that are feared as a possi- ble menace to the United States with the influx of postwar immigration. Both diseases have been making havoc with the men in the ranks of many o. the continental armies, among their prisoners even more virulently, and among natives of eenmy countries who are concentrated in camps or special assembly places.
 The danger to the United States is we'll recognized by the Public Health service, and it is preparing against the inevitable. The desire to obtain juris- diction over all the quarantine sta tions of the United States was part of the campaign of preparedness. Bos- ton and Galveston, two of the most im- pcrtant of these stations, were taken over a year ago. But New York. the biggest port of immigration, still re- mains aloof, with Baltimore, through which comes considerable number of aliens.

PRESIDENT GAN
 COMMANDER
 ALL LIQUORS Conferees on the Food Bill Agree to Arbitrary Power
 for Executive. OPTIONAL AS TO
 BEER AND WINES
Provision Authorizes President to Take Action Only for RediStiIla-
 tiOn for Military or Hospital
 Purposes or Conservation.

Washington, July 2S.-Conferees on the administration food control bill failed tonight to reach final agree ment on the measure and adjourned to meet again tomorrow. The con- ferees agreed on prohibition of manu- facture of distilled spirits for beverage purposes, except for fertilization of sweet wine; prohibition of importation of distilled spirits altogether; grant ing of discretionary authority in the president to stop manufacture or inn portation of beer and wines, and d. recting the president to commandeer all distilled spirits Gin bond or in stock"
 Two provisions prevented an agree ment-the senate amendment propos- ing food control board of thre mem bers instead of an Individual admin istrator, and that creating con- gressional committee to supervise war expenditures.
 The conferees hope for an agree ment tomorrow, but if they fail it is planned to report partial agreement to the two houses and ask for further instructions. A deadlock is not con- sidered improbable.
 The conferees also agreed to a wheat minimum guarantee of S2 a bushel on next years crop, and to a $10,00C,O00 appropriation for procur- ing stocks of fertilizers. The provis- ion for communicating of distilled spirits in stock as well as in bond authorizes and directs the president to take such action but only for redis- tillation for military or hospital pur- poses or, if necessary, to further con- serve foodstuffs.
 The $10,O00,0O0 appropriation for nitrate stocks in the senate amend ment authorizes the president to se- cur stocks of nitrate of soda for in- creasing agricultural production during 1918, and to dispose of them at cost.

 Washington, July 2S.-The senate finance committee reached a tenta- tive agreement late today to revise the present $1,67O, 100000 war tax bill so as to raise at least $1,943 ,O0O, ,OOO. The larger part of tho increase comes from higher income tax.
 Members of the committe said to- night that it is possible the total of the bill before it gets to the senate will be $2,000,000,0O0. According to the present plan, about $23O 1000, ,OOO of the increase will be obtained through higher income tax rates-$7O, 900 900 from individuals and the rest from corporations.
 The committee figured on an in crease in the normal rate on individ- uals from 2 to per cent, and on corporations to per cent The rest of the increase may be obtained by increasing excess profits taxes and by consumption taxes on sugar, cof- fee and cocoa. Under the program, $1, ,062 100000 would be the total levy this year upon incomes. The present law yields $300,00O,00O.
 The senate committe will confine it's work for the present to the pres ent war tax bill and will leave the house pass the rest or the $7,OO0,O ,OOO,- 900 the administration feels it must have to conduct the war this year.
