culosis is ''city disease" was present. ed to the American Public Health Association convention here today by Dr. Burton R. Rogers of New York. He said the secretary of the Indiana State head of board had written him that out of total population of 13,- OGO in Crawford county, Indiana 2,0O0 had died of tuberculosis within. ten years
 Can such record be even parall- eled in the worst lung block in the worst city in America? ?" asked the speaker Investigation in other states might reveal even worse conditions."
 Dr. Rogers explained that Crawford county has BOA square miles and that the 13,000 residents are scattered on 1861 farms and in 21 towns and vil- lages; the largest urban center con- talning less than 1,20O inhabitants. He added:
 "lt is doubtful if there is three story tenement in the county and if every house is not at least ten feet from every other house and if every living and sleeping room has not one or more outside widows These are certainly not city conditions.

ARGENTINA ASKED
 TO EXPLAIN NOTE

Buenos Aires, Dec 12.-The Chilean government has sent a message to the governmental Argentina asking the latter to explain it's offer of med-i ation in the controversy between Peru and Chile. The message inquiries whether mediation would be contin- ed to clearing the present crisis, which grew out of the disturbances at lqu- lque, or whether it would cOntem- plate a. settlement of the old question of the provinces of Tacna and Africa.
 The Chilean newspaper assert that the government of Chile would ac- cept intervention with the object of settling the Iquique trouble, but would reject it in the Tacna-Arica dispute.
 In we'll informed circles it is 1n- sisted that Peru will decline Argen- tines offer of mediation if the de- clination has not already been sent
 In these circles it is declared that the present status of the situation IS that Peru has accepted President Wilson's offer of mediation and Is inclined to reject that of Argentina, while Chile is disposed to reject the otfeI/of the American President and accept that of Argentipa.
 President lrigoyen assures Chile that the Stttlement will be confined to the present conflict and that the Tacna-Arica dispute will not be brOueht up,

"U. $. ISOLATION
 HAS PASSED FOR
 GOOD OR FOR ILL"

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 12.-"The day of isolation in the United States has passed for good or i'll, and I profound ly believe 1t is for good. This republic must concern itself with every prob- lem that touches the people of every portion of the world" declared Secre- tary Daniels in an address at ban quet here last night by the southern commercial congress in honor of the diplomatic representatives of the na- tlons associated with the United States in the world war.
 Referring to the peace congress, Secretary Daniels said the American representatives would insist upon such provisions in the treaty as will give to smaller nationers the same rights that greater nations will enjoy, and the elimination of any measures that may produce irritation and make possible another war. We look for sound definations and perfect safe- ugards for the freedom fthe seas and such league of nations or high tribunal with powers to endorse de- crees as will give to all people the se- curity from the danger of war as will enable them to work out their own destiny and secure enlarged prosper ity," the secretary added:
 To enable our country to defend it's own and the liberties of other free peoples, the secretary said 1t would be the part of wisdom for this con- gress to authorize another three year program of naval construction, identi- cal in power with the program adopt ed three years ago.
 "The day must never come again when the product of America must depend upon foreign bottoms" said the secretary in conclusion. We have re-learned how to build and operate merchant ships and we shall continue kto do sO."

 poisonous staonant nlatt3r

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a dai- sy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phos- phated hot water eacn morning.
 We should drink, before Dreak1asr, a glass of real houa water with a teaspoonful Of limestone phosphate III it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous days indl9estible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetepins and purifying the entlre alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach.

It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and 1t Is said to be but a little while an til the roses begin to appear in the checks A quarter pound of lime stone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered With biliousness, constipation. stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthu- siast on tho subject Oi internal sani- tation.

NOT TO RfPUDIATE
 FORMER AGREEMENT

New York, Dec. 12-Replying to a charge by the National War Labor Board, on December 8th, to the effect that the Bethlehem Steel Company desired to repudiate system of col lective bargaining previously agreed to, B. G. Grace, president of the steel company, issued a statement here to- day denying this was so
 The statement of the labor board, signed by William Howard Taft, and Basil M Manly, joint chairmen, denied a request by the Bethlehem Company that the boards examiners be with drawn from its machine shops and that the company be permitted to make necessary arrangements of our working forces to meet the new peace time conditions"
 Mir. Grace, in his reply today, alludes to a letter he wrote on September 18th saying the company was then ready to provide for collective bargaining ana labor representation" in accord ance with the labor boards principles.
 We have not repudlated this in any respect MT Graces statement contin- ues. Your examiners delayed the elec- tions and changed the contemplated plan until it was no longer recogniz- able, nor is it practical"
 Mir. Graces statement adds that practically all the company's war work is finished and that, inasmuch as the Bethlehem Company cannot ex- pect government compensatino to take care of any deficit resulting from peace time, or competitive operations, the company feels that future wages should no longer be subject to gov ernment regulation.
 During the war, MT. Grace explained the company made more war material a day than it did in a entire year be- fore the war,l but this assertion,> he added should not be interpreted as meaning that the company purposed to take advantage of the situation by re- ducing wages, ''any lowering of the present scale of wages should be pre- ceded as far as possible by reduct- ion in the price of commodities, he said. We intend to do our share to- ward meeting the responsibilities which this places on employers"

TWO THOUSAND. AIR
 PLANES PER MONTH
And Five Thousand Aviat0rs and 5O,. 900 Specialized Mechanics, United States Air Quota.

Washington, Dec. 12.-An apEeal by Premier Clemenceau of France for an American aircraft contribution of two thousand planes a month and a total of five thousand aviators and fifty thousand specialized mechanics formed the basis for the extensive Aircraft program to which tie Unit. ed States committed itself in the world war. This was. disclosed by Major eneral Wm. l.. Kenlq, director of aeronautics in his annual report.
 The appeal of the French premier, the report says, was received May 24, 1917, two weeks after adoption of the aircraft program for the army involving an expenditure Of about $55,000,000. Two months later con- gross at the request of the War De- partment, enacted another aircraft appropriation bill carrying a total of $640.O00,O00
 aviator sufficinetly to meet the de- mands of overseas aerial warfare" General Kenly points out in illustrate ing the difficulties the nation faced in seeking to comply with the .Argent appeal pc bs% for a|g msas hE Rahse
 ledge of the. instruction necessary for radio, photography or enlisted person. nel. Consequently the first men large ly trained themselves before teaching others and experience led on from one course to what was to come next.
 Despite this handicap, 4,9SO men had been graduated as reserve mili- tary aviators the first rating for pi- lots by June 30, 1918, the report says and no bom'bers, S5 bombing pilots 464 observers, 3S9 observer pilots and 131 pursuit pilots had been graduat- training schools.
 In the year ending last June 30, there were 152 fatalities in training or an average of one death to 2,6S4 hours, and 201,00O miles flown. Stall- ed engines usually due to an error of the pilot, caused S6 deaths; colli- ,sions 30 and side slips 10.
 ''Regrettable as these accidents are," the report says, Fatalities in American training are less than half as large as those of the other allied countries"
 The report says that 440 balloon officers also had been graduated, ,155 of which were fully qualified ol5serv- CTS during the year.
 Discussing the overseas part of the air service program, the report says the first cadets went. over for train ing six weeks after the declaration of war and by the end of 1917 more than 2,500 men had been sent to France, England, Italy or Canada
 5 "The collapse of Russia, the re- port continues, ''Italy's serious de- feat and the weight thrown upon the allied services made it impossible un- fortunately, for the allies to meet the schedule of training planes necessary so that many of these cadets, the most promising of Americas materi- al, were in idleness for months.
 Ut was early in May. 1918, how ever over "a year after America's en- try into the war that the first Ger man plane fell victim to an aviator in the American service. About the same time, 46S fully trained American aviators organized into thirteen con- plete American squadrons or brigades with British and French squadrons were actually on the fronts taking increasing toll of the enemy"
