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-
culosis 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.
That the people of America throw
themselves into the winning of the
war against 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 it has substantially increased the
tuberculosis problem in the Eurofas;
countries involved" says Doctor Far
rand.
II refer not to the situation in the
armies, where the mode of life Otter
tends to reduce this disease, but to con
ditions which affect the civilian popu
lation."
Increased food, clothing and housing
costs necessitating, among the lowel
wage groups, diminished quantity ant
quality and their resultant undernutri
ton, are given as contributing causes
A nationwide campaign against thu
disease and for adequate provision fo
rejected and discharged soldiers suf
fering from 1t is planned through 1,5O'
local societies of the National Tuber
culosis association.

RED CROSS HANDLES
LETTERS TO GERMANY
Follow Plan Which Is as Spy
Proof as Is Possible to
Devise.

To prevent the possibility of valu-
able information getting into Germany,
the American Red Cross, In sending
letters behind the enemy lines at the
request of persons in this country, is
following carefully plan worked out
by the state department to do away
with code.
Americans, Germans or others In the
United States wishing to communicate
with relatives In Germany must now
write out their messages in Red Cross
chapters throughout the country.
These are sent through the division Of
ficers Of the organization to national
headquarters. Here they are rewrit-
ten and the wording absolutely chang
ed to prevent the sending of any dia-
gram or secret code. The messages
are given to the censorship board and
are passed or refused by them as the
case may be. When they reach a neu-
trail country, they are translated on
other paper and in most cases delivered
by the Red Cross Of the place, to which
spy proof as it is possible to devise.
During the last 25 years the practice
has grown up that welfare inquiries
and messages shall be permitted be-
tween civilians in countries which are
at war with each other. The promis-
cuous sending of letters through or
ganizations In neutral countries could
not be permitted because of the large
number of enemies In the country. To
prohibit entirely the sending Of mes
sages would, for example, prevent q
loyal American from finding out wheth-
er his sister, unfortunately married to
a German, was alive or dead. Pro-
hibition was In force for time and
pitiful appeals were received by the
Red Cross from French, Belgians and
Italians begging the society to gel
word for them as to whether their peo
pie In the occupied districts were still
alive.
The state department presented tt
the Red Cross the present plan In de
tail and asked that the Red Cross pu1
1t into effect. As 1t was purely hu
manitarian work, the government
could do no more than supervise tn,
work.

RUSSIANS HOPE
FOR ALLIED AID
At CONFERENCE

PARIS, Dec 31-"Russia has been
granted a respectful hearing by the
allies in her request for representa-
ton at the Peace Congress, and am
hopeful that the sentiment of ma
pority of the Russian nations will be
listened to and regarded by the con-
grcss." Boris A. Bakhmeteff, the Am
bassador to the United States, said to
the Associated Press today.
The Ambassadors and other promi-
nent Russians now in Paris" he add
ed, feel that Russia comes to the con-
81 ess as copartner in victory. With
out Russia the war could not have
been won. Unfortunately, Russia col
lapsed before the war ended, and, as
there is no Government recognized at
present by the Entente, it is naturally
impossible for any Russians to sign a
peace treaty, unless recognition
should come before the signing. But
we feel sure that Russian affairs will
not be disposed of by the conference
without needing Russian public senti.
ment.

fortunes. The spirit Of united Russia
lives and is being fostered at Omsk,
Archangel, Ekaterinador and other
centers. Russia will eventually right
herself even without allied assistance,
but she can recover more rapidly with
aid from her allies, who need united
Russia to oppose German machina-
tons through the Bolsheviki. A sta
BILE Russia is necessary to Offset the
spread of Bolshevism and to protect
the far East from disorder"
Amba ssador Bahkmeteff and other
Russians in Paris are delighted over
the reports Of the Russian victory over
the Bolsheviki at Perm. They had
expected this, as Admiral Kolchak,
the leader at Omsk, had advised them
Of successful advances toward Perm.
The clear enunciation by French
statesmen of the Entente policy to-
ward Russia also is gratifying to the
Russians, who express confidence
that the various centers of Russian
unity are growing stronger. Ambassa-
DOR Bakhmeteff and his associates be-
lieve that money and supplies are all
that are necessary to insure the sue
cess of the Russian army in Siberia,
which now numbers 100000 men. with
100000 more recruited and awaiting
equipment.

War DEPARTMENT
CRITICIZED BEFORE
SENATE MEMBERS.
Chamberlain Charges made
quate Hospital Facilities for
WoundedELack of Def
mite Plans.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Chamberlain OF Oregon. chairman Of
the Senate military affairs committee,
spoke for more than three hours Mon
day in the senate in criticism of the
War Department. dealing particularly
with what he termed the failure to
provide adequate hospital facilities for
returned wounded soldiers and to for.
mulate definite plan for demobiliza-
ton
The senator reiterated many Of the
charges he made in his address at
New York soon after the nation enter
ed the war and in a subsequent ad-
dress in the senate, and said that in
formation that had come to light since
had justified the statements he had
made. Senator Chamberlain New
York address brought forth a sharp
statement from President Wilson Re-
ferring Indirectly today to that criti-
cism, the Oregon senator said his pur-
pose then and his purpose now was to
bring about an improvement in con-
ditions.
Scores Aid for Contractors.
Senator Chamberlain, who was heard
by crowded galleries. said the War
Department now in pursuing with re-
gard to hospital facilities the same
dilatory tactics it adopted in the prose
cution of the war many months ago.
NIf the War Department" he de-
clared, paid one-half the attention to
preparations for receiving these boys
as they are to getting legislation
through congress in order to protect
contra ctors who made contracts for
war supplies over the telephone, in vio-
latiOn of law, this matter would soon
be settled
The need for definite policy of
rehabilitation was urged by the SEN
ator. who said that if one were estab
lished unrest among the men in can
comments and overseas would cease.
He praised the British plan for return
ing its soldiers to civil life, saying it
was framed along economic lines.
