GOVERNMENT WOULD HELP
CONTROL TUBERCULOSIS

tuberculosis probably is the most
common, destructive. ard widely dis
seminated of the infectious diseases
of domestic animals, especially of
cattle and swine. Its seriousness is
emphasized by the fact that it is
transmitted to hun an beings.
This may be prevented in reason
able measure by the pasteurization of
milk and the inspection of meat.
There remains, however, the problem
of eliminating the d sease from farm
animals in order to prevent losses es-
timated at $25, 600, eco year in the
United States. This is the greatest
problem confronting the livestock in
dustry of the country. The disease
can be prevented and some definite
| system of eradication should be in
aueurated. Three undertak ngs seem
practicable this at time.
The first is the eradication from
pure bred herds of cattle. 1t is not
necessary to resort to compulsion.
The u. S. Department of Agriculture
should be placed in position more
fully to assist individuals who wish
to undertake the complete eradication
of the disease from their herds. 1t
should apply the tuberculin test and,
in case infected animals are discovered
advise and supervise their proper dispo
sal or management. The ruthless
slaughter of all tuberculin reactors is
not necessary. Many of chem may be
safely retained under proper quaran-
tine conditions and their offspring
raised free from tuberculosis. This
plan has the approval of the breed
record associations in general and of
many individual breeders.
The second undertaking is the Grad
ication of tuberculosis from hogs.
The experts of the Bureau of Animal
| Industry believe that it would be rel
atively easy of accomplishment.
Hogs do not convey the disease to one
another to any appreciable extent.
They contract it from cattle, chiefly
in two ways-by being fed on nonpas-
teurized products from creameries and
by following cattle of somWhat mature
age in the feed lot and feeding upon
the undigested grain. An educational
campaign should be effective in remov-
ing these two sources of infection. 1t
also may be desirable to have state
laws requiring the pasteurization of
SKINNED milk and other products be-
fore they leave the creameries.
The third undertaking is complete
eradication in restricted areas. The
plan would be to select certain com
munities in which after a thorough
educational campaign had been made,
the stock owners are willing to co.
operate in eradicating the disease en-
tirely from that territory. This
would require the slaughter of infected
animals and would necessitate reason.
able indemnity for the animals
slaughtered. The latter feature un.
doubtedly would require large expen.

TABOO ON GERMAN SINGERS
Those Who Sing in America VIII Be
Boycotted at Home.

5oycotted at Home.
The Hague, May 27.-Count See.
Bach director of the Royal Opera at
Dresden, will propose on behalf of the
German State society at its next gen
eral meeting, June 2, that no single
male or female accepting engage
ments in America shall be permitted
to sing in any German opera house
for five years This does not apply
to opera conductors and directors.
Explaining the proposal which is
certain to be carried unanimously
Count Seebach says in the Beriner
zeitung:
This is an artistic Monroe Doc
trine for Germany This has nothing
to do with politics, and | should have
proposed the measure even il German
and American relations had remained
friendly. 1t is simply question OF
selfdefense. The proposal was made
by me Gu Behalf of all the opera direc-
tors OF Germany, for. We have all snf
fered under the fact that America
with gigantic salaries snaps our best
talent ! personally have had I'M
pleasant examples ~
even during the war certain en-
gagements have fallen through owing
TO higher salaries offered by America
All difficulties In the way of the pro-
posal are now removed and all Ger
man opera directors are agreed. Al
though primarily ii has nothing to do
with the war, | admit the measure is
facilitated by the war with america
as the conviction that self-defense in
this direction also is necessary has
gained ground
The situation as regards American
engagements has become intolerable.
We Germans do our honest best to
find new talent. train. prepare them
for roles in which they can develop
their best powers: then when we are
fortunate and might harvest our sue
cess, along comes an American agent
and robs us and the public of the re-
ward of our labors. We have had to
give our artists four months leave
for their American tournee. the four
best months in the season, which up
set all our arrangements.
Count Seebach concluded by say
Ing that in future artists would have
to decide between Germany and
America. If the latter, they would
have to try to force the American
agents TO conclude five-year contracts
which, Count Seebach thinks they are
not likely to do. America pays high
salaries, but its methods are ruinous
and singers are quickly used up"
