Put out today over the effect of his

pay 81 an hour to those who will help
unloa ding the load of salmon cans

claims that this dollar an hour will

fed the wage, but took a few notes
and walked away Mr.. Rounsefell
meant to add that there was a string
to that 'dollar an hour" for he intends
to turn that money over to the local

either the reporter or Mr.. Rounsefell
or both are apt camouflagers; for
nobody will get red penny. At least
not men like Fremont or Ira King, or

TUBERCULOSIS AS
FATAL AS WAR
SAYS DOCTOR

NEW YORK-Mortality from tuber-
cuicsis 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 DR..
Livingstone Farrand, director Of the
American commission for the proven
tion of tuberculosis in France
That the people of America throw
themselves into the winning of the
war against tuberculosis with the
same zeal with which they have hurl-
ed themselves against the Hun is the
burden of an appeal made by Doctor
Farrand 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 strik-
ing indications of the prevalence of
the disease.
while the war has thus effectually
disclosed conditions which existed be-
fore, rather than produced these con-
ditions, it is also true that in indirect
ways it has substantially increased the
tuberculosis problem in the European
countries involved" says Doctor Far.
rand
81 refer not to the situation in the
armies, where the mode of life often
tends to reduce this disease, but to
con dit:ons which affect the civilian
population"
Increased food, clothing and hous'
ing costs necessitating, among the
lower wage groups, diminished guam
tity and quality and their resultant
undernutrition, are given as contrib.
uting causes.
A nationwide campaign against the
disease and for adequate provision fol-
rejected and discharged soldiers suf
fering from it, is planned through
1,500 local societies of the National
tuberculosis association.

AUSTRIAN DESERTERS
Silently They Are Growing Into
A Powerful Allied Army

(From the Italian-American News
Bureau.
There is one army in Europe which
is growing rapidly every day to the
delight of the entente allies. 1t is an
army which does not vaunt itself,
which keeps out of sight, but it is do
ing its full share to help the cause of
Liberty. 1t is the great army of Aus
trian deserters.
Tilenko Vestnich, the Serbian minis
ter in France, gave an interview at
the legation in Paris, speaking of this
army and saying that it Is composed
of Austrians who took refuge in the
mountains and forests, becoming con-
WINGED that their nationalities have
the right to liberty, and that there is
nothing to be gained by hrowing away
their lives 10 support the moribund
power of Austria. The minister con-
tinued:
There are thousands upon thous-
ands of these deserters. Their number
is growing steadily and it's increase is
one of the gravest military problems
confronting the Austrian authorities.
ut is a problem they cannot solve
because the whole army is honey
combed with the spirit of indepen-
dence and racial freedom, which is
Numerically opposed to Austrian SOW
ereignty. Any severe measures TAX
en- against the deserters would be
| the signal for widespread mutiny
in the Austrian forces on all fronts.
''The declaration of war against the
Central empires by the United States
and the declarations made several
times by President Wilson concerning
the future liberty of the little nations
have been the principle cause of these
assertions.
"The statements made by the presi-
dent to congress have been read by
Austrian soldiers and have borne good
| fruit.
"The Austrian armies are composed
in large part of Slavs, Croats and Jugo.
Slavs, all nationalities oppressed by
Austria, which have looked forward
with keen hope to freedom as a re.
suit of the conclusion of peace and
the promise of President Wilson.
They will await that day in con.
cealment on the mountains and in the
forests. no longer willing to fight for
the Hohenzollern and Hapsburg dynas
ties, which are their enemies.
1T Is not a matter of great diff
Guilty to desert, because the country
folk have the greatest sympathy fol
the soldiers and will hide and feed
them, knowing that by reducing the
armed strength of Austria they will
hasten the end of the war.
''The deterioration in the morale oil
the army brought about by wholesale
assertions is the most serious ques
tion before the imperial government oil
Austria at this time"
