WANTS PROMPT REPORTS
ON TUBERCULOSIS CASES
District Health Department Much
Concerned Over the Hardness of
Attending Physicians.

Tho health department is given much
concern over the hardness of attending
physicians in the diagnosis and report
ing of tuberculosis cases in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. and the department
IS now endeavorinS to find some rem
cdy
It was declared, in a statement issued
by the department today, that of 6s7
fatal cases of tuberculosis of the lungs
and other communicable forms of the
disease last year 124 were not dag
nosed by the attending physicians until
within less than seven days before
death
The statement of the health depart
ment is based upon the fact that these
ia patients had died before reports
Were received. the law requiring the
attending physician TO make return Of
every case to the health department
within seven days after he recognizes
the disease. In seyenty-four cases. il
is stated. reports were not received by
the health department until within
seven days before death. and in 10.
additional cases reports were received
more than seven days before death but
less than one month prior to that time.
says nearly one-half of the fatal cases
of pulmonary and other communicable
forms of tuberculosis that occurred in
the District during 1916 were not rec
ogniZed as tuberculosis until the pa
tent was within thirty days or less OF
death and in some cases apparently not
until after the patient had died.

Value of Unbroken Front.

More expeditions work on the part of
Congress in getting the forces of the
United States ready to help in the great
war was urged by Mr.. Montague. Moth
ing helps more in a situation of this sort
than to know that we present an I'M
broken front-the moral effect is very
great" he said
Mr. Montague spoke briefly upon the
possibilities of work which might be
accomplished by the Chamber of Com
merce for Washington. He alluded to
the problems presented here as being
different from those of most cities, in
asmuch as the population in some re
spects is constantly shifting, and that
no matter how much those who 1--we
here love the city many have divided
allegiance of which their home town
forms the other part.
He urged his auditors never to for
get that "the government of your city
is never beyond the influence of the in
telligent men and women of that city.
no matter what the form of government
is" He spoke Of the government OF
Washington as zone which | imagine
affords you embarrassment at times.
Upon motion of William III. Saunders
a rising vote of thanks was rendered
Representative Montague at the close
of his address.

NEW SPIRIT IN WORLD
RESULT OF WAR
Representative Montague Discusses
Changes in Addressing Chamber
of Commerce.

That perhaps the spirit of the world has
changed more in the last two and a half
years than in any 500 years preceding
that time was asserted by Representa-
tive Montague of Virginia, in an address
before the Washington Chamber of Com
merce AZ a meeting at Rauscher's last
evening.
Il do not know how much you and
viii recognize of our own government
after the struggle is over" declared the
speaker.
Mr.. Montague spoke at length on the
need of unity in this country at the pres
eut time and declared that never in its
history had such unity as that of the
present been noted. Cheers and prolonged
applause met his assertion that: When
our country has once declared war. right
Or wrong. it is the duty of the people or
our country to stand by the country"
He spoke in justification of the entrance
of the United States into the great con-
tict. From the beginning of the trouble
until the present. he said. the United
States has been a most patient nation.
Reference to France as an ally brought
forth applause.

WILSON INVITES

obtaining Istria and Dalmatia in return
for her efforts in the war, she will
not find support from this government.
This would cut Austria off from the
| Adriatic.
Authorities pointed out today the
particularly strong bid for the Austrian
people to assert themselves and throw
off the Gu Sc of Hohenzollernism, along
with the Germans, while at the same
time the president sought to swerve
Russia to unreserved support of the al
lied cause.
Aud as if speaking to America IS al,
lies in the war, the president stated that
the only antidote to the poison of false
hood that is keeping the Russians and
Germans in the dark, is the TRUTH
.''It cannot be uttered too plainly or
too often" he pointedly asserted.
If the German people are unable to
respond to the political offensive di-
rected against their rulers and the eGr-
man government does not counter the
American statement of war aims with
declaration recanting arrogant ambi-
tons of the past-then American Off
eials today see only prolonged, bitter
war ahead.
Officials see in Germany so crush
ed by arms that she must, of military
necessity, restore Belgium and northern
France, release Austria, Turkey and the
Balkans from her grasp, a nation beaten
to her knees.
For America and the allies this means
bloody sacrifice. 1t means the using of
every resource to its utmost capacity.
The huge appropriations this congress
has been asked to approve are an in
dieation Of the cost in money. Officials
agreed today that America and the al
lies will have all they can do to crush
Germany s ambitions Of world military
domination and put her back where she
was before she ran rampant and start
ed the war. It was explicitly pointed
cut today that President Wilson voiced
only the American viewpoint
1t is hoped that the allies win fully
subscribe to this declaration Of pril.-
eipleS. There has been a constantly
growing demand for clear cut state
ment of war aims. This government
had hoped that such a declaration
might grow out CT the sessions Of the
inter-allied council and supreme war
council meeting in France. Colonel

mission gave the unofficial Russian
representative their support in urSng

led out in committee, swung into rou-
tine at noon today. Several minor bills,
carried over from the special session,
were in line for consideration in the
house.
Aside from national prohibition and
woman suffrage legislation, which win
be cleared away by the Christmas re-
cess, leaders will confine congress rig
idly to the win the war measures. Both
suffrage and prohibition appear likely
to pass, in the house at least.
Anti-enemy alien legislation, exten-
sion of price fixing and conservation
of national resources will have early
call on the legislative schedule. The
giant money measures, both for raising
revenue and appropriating it, are not
expected until later in the session.
The single recommendation by the
president which, it appears, may have
rough Shedding, is his suggestion for q
single committee to "initiate and pre-
pare all appropriation bills to Seen
ter responsibility, standardize expen.
diture and avoid waste,' Many COM
mittees now spending public monies
promise to balk at this blow to their
powers.
His approval of the bill allowing ex-
port trade combinations may save that
measure.

GOVERNOR WITHYCONBE
WILL NOT PAY BONUS

Governor Withycombe has refused
to pay superintendent Crawford of
the prison flax plant the $40 a month
bonus promised by the board of control
il he made financial profit in his
handling of the plant. The amount
claimed by Crawford is $500 for six
teen months at $50 a month. Mr.. Craw-
ford claims to have shown a profit Of
above 100000, but the governor says
he has done nothing of the kind and
that there is no profit after allowing
for depreciation, interest charges and
the labor and time that will be con-
sumed in making up the remainder of
the flax products, though where the
time is to cut any figure is a mystery.
The governor says he was opposed to
making the kind Of contract with
Crawford that was agreed upon and
says State Treasurer Kay and Secre-
tary Oleott are responsible for the trou
bic. He says he fell heir to the mess
created by them when the legislature
turned the management of the prison
over to~him. He tried to pass the buck
up to the board of control recently in
an effort to dodge passing on the mat
ter, but the other members of it re-
fused to mix in saying it was his affair
On the face of Mr.. Crawford s state
ment filed with the governor, which
was printed in the Capital Journal
few days ago there is profit shown
of above $4,000, but the governor
pooh, poohs at this. What course Mr..
Crawford will take remains to be seen,
but it viii probably get into the courts
before it is finally settled.
