1t is believed that Great Brit
ain has agreed to furnish a huge
amount of tonnage for shipping
supplies and men.
Beynd this Baker would not
go in open session and efforts by
Senator Hitchcock to press for
the information were refused.
Complete reorganization of the
army and navy medical corps and
the public health service, to bring
the three branches under the gen.
eral direction of Surgeon General
Gorgas, is contemplated, Baker
said.

Committee members then
launched into discussion of Amer

Weeks attempted to draw from
Baker figures as to the tonnage
now at the disposal of the war
department for troop and supply
transport Baker did not have
this information, he said, but
can give 1t to the senator later.
II understand the department
has $4,000 TONS" said Weeks.

ing it," replied Baker.
Hitchcock here interposed that
his information was that the Unit
ed States had only 100000 tons
of shipping in all, but Baker did
not comment
Hitchcock, however, pressed his
question regarding tonnage, ask
ing the secretary what basis he
had for believing the department
could transport 100000 men to
France during 1918.
Baker said he meant there
would actually be at least 500, 900
men in France early this year,
and 100000 more during the
year II shipping is available.

DRUG STORE
IS CONVICTED

The Eagle Drug Co. of Roy was
found guilty of having had liquor
in its possession illegally, Tuesday
afternoon in Judge Linck's court.
The owners OF 81 cases Of
whisky were not divulged at the
trial, and II. A. Roberts, secretary
of the company, was found to be
the owner of no stock in the con-
Germ.
Deputy Sheriff Sears testified
he believed that the whisky, which
is worth about $4,000, belonged
to Sam Cassimir and Harry
Greenwald of Tacoma, but at the
motion of Attorney O'Brien the
ownership matter was ruled out
of court.
1t is likely the case will be ap-
.pealed to the superior court.

100000 AMERICANS
HAVE TUBERCULOSIS
Declared Dr.. D. B. Armstrong of Fran
ingham, Mass, at National Tu-
berculosis Convention in
Portnr

Boston, June S.-~There are in the Unit
ed States at present 100000 people
who are suffering from tuberculosis, as.
serted DIR. D. B. Armstrong of Fran
ingham, Mass, in an address to-day be-
fore the annual meeting of the National
Tuberculosis association. DR.. Armstrong
is in charge of the community health
demonstration, which is being conducted
at birmingham under the direction Of
the National Tuberculosis association.
He drew the inference that there were
100000 tuberculosis sufferers in the
United States from the fact that over
two per cent of the 5000 people exam
ined in birmingham last year were
found to be tuherculous. This, he said.
was about the same percentage as had
been discovered in the draft armies.
birmingham, DIR. Armstrong said, aims
to show the country what a community
can accomplish in health improvements,
particularly as regards tuberculosis. The
townspeople have o-operated to improve
health and physicians have been pro-
vided for the schools and the factories
organization in the United States, de-
clared DR.. Armstrong. summing up the
results in birmingham, he said:
I'm 1917 the general death rate was
III per 10000 as compared with 1865
for the previous decade. The infant
mortality rate was $50 per 10000 as
compared with $40 for 1915, and the
tuberculosis death rate was 90 per TO-.
900 as compared with l2l for the pre-.
viosfs decade"

90 p. c. OF U-BOATS
ARE DESTROYED
And Allied and American Naval Forces
Have Cut Shipping Losses
In Half.

Washington, D. c., June s. 49, Senator
Swanson, acting chairman of the naval
committee, after a conference with navy
heads yesterday, declared that the allied
and American naval forces have de.
stroyed 90 per cent. of all German SUBJ
marines constructed, and that they have
cut shipping losses in half.
The German submarines recently OPP
Grating off the Atlantic coast, Senator
Swanson said, are believed TO have been
driven from the coast and also from the
main American shipping routes. None
of the American warcraft stationed
abroad, Senator Swanson said, had been
or will be withdrawn to this side because
of the German raid.
Senator Swanson said his information
was obtained from highest navy depart
ment authorities.
The indications of the last few days"
he said, "are that the German subma-
rines that came over have been driven
at present from the coast and from the
main lines of travel of American vessels.
"The navy department is not diverting
shipments and am confident no German
submarine will be able TO do any serious
damage on this side Movement Of troops
and food to Europe will continue unin-
terrupted"
Declaring German submarine attacks
here had been expected and that frequent
warnings that the undersea boats might
come over were given mariners, Senator
Swanson explained that at the outbreak
of the war it was decided best to send
the main American naval force to CO.
operate with the allies abroad.
"The result of that policy" he added,
''is that the loss of merchant vessels has
been reduced by half and about 60 per
cent of all German submarines that have
been constructed and commissioned have
been destroyed. There is no question of
this
"The German raid Senator Swanson
said, was attempted because Germany
desired both to stop the flow of American
,roops and supplies abroad and also to
rave American war craft in Europe with
irawn."

lantes,


England's colors and our own
The white, the crimson and the blue!
Lads of both lands, the brave and true,
Blood brotherhood your hearts have
known.
And you to-day must be more strong
Than any memory of old wrong
Wrought for a German tyrant's word.
A louder call our souls have heard
The colors that our banners share
A new and holy meaning bear
From skies that know the daring fight
Of boys who speak the selfsame tongue,
From Flemish peoples brave and bright
As were the bodies whence they sprung,
From girls who put aside the young
Delights of life TO don the white
Stern robes of mercy
England, we
Fight side by side for Liberty,
Yorktown is lost In Picardy.
The selfsame colors mark our dead,
The white, the azure--and the red.
