French Plan a New
Submarine Defense
By Associated Press

Paris, March 00.-France is al
ready organizing to combat the
spread of tuberculosis after the war
among men who have been weakened
by the hardships of campaigning.
There are at present 100000 men in
the army attacked by this disease, of
whom about $4,000 have been sent
back to their homes. At least another
100000 will come back from German
prison camps with the same ill, aud
great chain of national sanitoriums
is proposed to deal with the plague.
Two an da half million francs have
already been subscribed, and a pro-
gram of work has been drawn up
which will involve the expenditure of
many millions more.
In 1915 q yearly credit was opened
by the Government, which assures
tuberculosis soldiers a certain amount
of assistance during the war, and at
present the administration has in
hand four million francs for this pur-
pose. There Is also an arrangement
which allows tuberculous soldier to
have three months treatment In q
civil sanatorium at the expense of
the State before he Is discharged
from the army,
Before the war tuberculosis caused
10 per cent, of tho deaths In France,
and was the cause of half the deaths
of persons who died between the
ages of 20 and 40.

the conditions in each section of West
ern Asia, it was found:
That there are at the present
time approximately 2,144.000 persons,
mostly women and children, destitute,
homeless, helpless, who with occasion
al exceptions have no means of liveli-
hood except as provided by the Ameri-
can Committee for Armenian and Sy-
rian Relief
The above figures include the Chris
tlan Armenian, Syrian and Greek pop
ulation, but do not include the count
less thousands of innocent Moslem
women and children, who in their ex-
tremity of need are now asking for
help.

dttions and prices (much higher than

To careproperly for the 100000
and morenow dependent upon the
committee will at this rate require a
monthly income of at least $4,000, 900,
These people for the most part ex-
lied from their homes, must remain
dependent upon thecommittee during
the remainder of the war and prob
ably for at least six months after
peace is declared, or until they can
return to their lands and produce
their own food supply.
With thehearty cooperation of
sympathetic consuis and missionaries
of various neutral nations (nearIy 900
of whom arestill working In the Turk
ish Empire), thecommittee is able to
administer relief with practically no
expense for overhead charges and
with absolute assurance thatthe relief
reaches the destitute people. 1t is be-
lieved thatthere tH no reason for an-
ticipating any material change in the
present effective channels of distribuu

Conference of Workers" held during

pose of securing regular monthly con-
trtbutions adequate to meet the need.
The plan of work Includes:
Presentation to the American peo-
pie of the needs and conditions that
require S5,000,000 per month for the
adequate support of q helpless, nom
combatant multitude of exiles who
cannot receive help from the govern
ment under which they live.
The organization, II possible, of a
cooperating committee in every city,
town and village of the United Staes,
The apportionment to these various
committees of the amount of money
that must normally be expected from
each community If the need is to be
mot.
Cooperation with these local COM
mittees by means of literature, re-
turned missionaries, executive secre-
taries and other agencies in securing
regular monthly contributions that
will sustain life until the war ends and
until these people can be gotten back
to their homes on self-supporting
basis,
1t is voted thatthe auditing COM
mittee, consisting of Messrs, Buikley,
Morgenthau and Dodge, be authorized
to engage the Darrow, Wade, Guthrie
Company to audit the committees ae-

It was also voted that the laymen's
missionary movement be requested to
continue Its service through its secre-

relief funds and that theLaymen' S

the Federal District, which includes
Mexico City. Miss Galindo is the
woman who presented to the Consti-
tutional convention an article provid-
ing for woman's suffrage. This ar
ticle was never acted on by the con-
vention but Miss Galindo declares
that as framed the new constitution
neither prohibits a woman from be-
ing a candidate nor from voting. This
Interpretation of the wording of the
new constitution Is not generally ac-
cepted but Miss Galindo has an
nounced her determination to have
her name placed on the tickets of her
district as an independent candidate.
Miss Galindo contends that the new
constitution asserts it is the duty of
each Mexican citizen to exercise the
right of franchise and that as she is
q Mexican citizen she both has the
right to vote and to be voted for.

In 4 VERY FEW DAYS

It is an established fact that one
half teaspoonfu. of Rheuma taken
once a day has driven the pain and
agony from thousands of racked, Grip

Powerful and sure; quick acting, yet
harmless, Rheuma gives blessed relief
almost at once. The magic name has
reached every hamlet in the land and
there Is hardly q druggist anywhere
who cannot tell you of almost mar
velous cures.
II you are tortured with rheumatism
or sciatica, you can get bottle of
Rheuma from Fl. G. Kennedy or any
druggist for not more than so cents,
with the understanding that IL 1t does
not completely drive rheumatic pol
sons from your system-money back.
