IS AS FATAL As war
tuberculosis Kills as Many as
Fall From Bullets.
Or. Livingstone Farrand Appeals to
People to Enter Battle Against
Disease.

New York.-Mortality from tuber-
culosls among the civilian population
and In the armies of all the countries
engaged in the war has at least ap-
proximated the total number of sol
diers killed in battle, according to DIR.
Livingstone Farrand, director of the
American commission for the preven-
tion of tuberculosis in France.
TIL people of America throw
thems into the winning of the
war ae.~a.st tuberculosis with the same
zeal with which they have hurled
themselves against the Hun Is the bur-
den of an appeal made by Doctor Far
rand on the eve of his return to
France.
ITO make our country really safe
we must first make it healthy" is the
slogan Doctor Farrand suggests for
this war against disease.
OF the men called to the colors by
the first draft $4,000 were found to be
tubercular. This is one of the striking
indications of the prevalence Of the
disease.
while the war has thus effectually
disclosed conditions which existed be-
fore, rather than produced these con6i-
tions, 1t is also true that in indirect
ways 1t has substantially increased the
tuberculosis problem In the European
countries involved" says Doctor Far
rand.
Il refer not to the situation In the
armies, where the mode of life often
tends to reduce this disease, but to con-
ditions which affect the civilian popu-
lation."
Increased food, clothing and housing
costs necessitating, among the lower
wage groups, diminished quantity and
quality and their resultant undernutri.
ton, are given as contributing causes
A nationwide campaign against the
disease and for adequate provision fol
rejected and discharged soldiers suf
fering from 1t Is planned through 1,5O(
local societies of the National Tuber
culosis association.

sunk OFF The
ATLANTIC COAST

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 1.-THE
fishing schooner Acushla arrived
here today with IA men from the
fishing vessels Progress, Star Buck
and Melena May. all sunk by sub
marine off the Georges bank. The
crew of the schooner Mary A. Sen
nett told of the sinking of the schoon-
ers Old Timer and Cruiser. The
crews they declared were probably
killed by shell fire as they left the
boats, as nothing was seen of them
after the vessels sank. The Mary A.
Sennett, Old Timer and Cruiser were
attacked by two submarines, surviv-
ors said. This is the first report that
more than one submarine took part
in the Georges bank raid. Fishing
vessels known to have been sunk are
the Progress. Helena May. Earl and
lNettie, Reliance, Mary A. Sennett.

'AhIES SMASH
25.MILE front
ALLIED GAINS MADE ALL ALONG
THE BATTLE LINE.

London, Aug. 14.-The French
have gained control of the entire
Massif of Lassigny on the southern
end of the Picardy battle front, ac-
cording to advices late today. This
gives command of the town of Las
signy and the valley of the Divette
as well as the entire district to the
north.
The evacuation of Roye is expect
ed within As hours, according to in
formation received here late today.
The fall of Lassigny, expected
hourly, probably will force the Ger
mans to retreat to the Somme canal
line-an additional retirement of five
to 10 miles all along the front, ac-
cording to information received here
late today.
The Somme bridge at Peronne has
been smashed, cutting off the enc
emy's supplies from tsat direction
and hindering the retreat
Allied forces early today began a
general attack against the German
line running from Chaulney south to
the Disc river, a front of about 25
miles. Dispatches filed at London
shortly after noon reportde impor-
tant gains at various points, especial
near the Disc. The Lassigny Massif,
the steep slope which has been
strongly defended by the Germans, is
reported to be entirely within the
grasp of the French.
Further south the French have ad-
vanced to the village of L'Econvillon,
south of the eastern extremity of
Thiescourt wood and virtually on the
crest of the hills overlooking long
reaches of the Disc. West of L'Econ-
north of st. Claude farm.
AS an immediate result of the
gains made in that sector the Ger
mans are abandoning their trenches
on the Disc west of the village of
Bailly, east of Ribecourt. 1t Is said
that the French have occupied these
positions.
If the Allies succeed in carrying
the heights south of Lassigny they
will force the enemy to retire from
the Roye district as they will have
the Roye-Noyon road under their fire
and will dominate tn ewhole region
with their artillery.
The advance reported during the
last few hours, If continued, prob
ably would have an effect on the
German positions in the Ourscamp
and Carlepont forests, east of the
Oise. If the Germans are outflanked
by the Allied movements. a retire
ment from that district would be
probable and this would necessitate
relocation OF the line running from
the Disc and the Aisne at scissors.
Thus the attack launched today
would appear to have direct rela-
tion to the BATTLE being fought along
the Aisne and Vesle by the Allies

Apparent Poverty

A great deal of apparent poverty
comes from dread of poverty. A man
saves every cent and goes mind and
soul hungry, and, ten to one, he is
starving somebody else at the same
time along with himself. He is really
poor, for the time being, although he
has large bank account.
Poverty will come every time as
the result Of the improper attitude
toward money. Money is not a real
ity; it represents things that we con-
slider for our good. But there is no
poverty like that of the starved soul
that shrinks and dries up into mar
rowness and compression. In getting
the feeling Of wealth look about you.
See all the wonders Of nature; be-
lieve that wonders will happen and
then get ready for them.
After the days work is done, build
air castles, and then go in and lay a
strong foundation under one of them.
Expect to develop into efficiency nec-
essary for the bigger job. The key to
this lies in your hands in doing the
little things well.-Patrick Fenton in
Nautilus.
