HEALTH OF TROOPS GOOD.

According to a War Department
bulletin. the health of United States
troops in the United States and over
seas Is good. though ports of en-
barkation continue to report some
cases OF pneumonia. The report for
the week ended July Is shows q
somewhat higher death rate for dis
ease than for the week preceding.
tuberculosis continues to be the lead
ing cause of death, thirty deaths
being reported from this disease out
of a total of fifty-three disease
deaths. Three deaths occurred at
Vladivostok during the week, one Of
which was from wounds received in
action.
There were in general and base hos
pitfalls July 10, 1884 patients, and In
hospitals at the ports of embarka-
ton 1924. 1t is estimated by the
medical department that $4,000 cases
will remain in hospital September 80.
in addition to the casual sick Of the
Army.
To adequately care for the hospital
patients in the Army the surgeon
general has estimated that 1,400
temporary medical and dental officers
will be required after September 80.
These would be in addition to 619
officers who could now be given per-
manent commissions to fill the
vacancies in the Medical Corps Of the
Regular Army.

published in Italian papers which
endeavor to establish the idea in
the Italian mind that had Germany
been consulted in the matter of
Italian claims at the peace confer
ence Italy would have secured all
that had been asked. This has
been interpreted by many prom
inent Italians as purely a subtle
bid for Italian patronage anticipat-
ing the resuscitation of friendly
commercial relations between Italy
and Germany.
Chief among the interviews ap-
pearing in Italy were those of
Prince Won Buelow and Count Won

Italy one OF the most celebrated

Congress has been iegislating
and appropriating under Republic
can rule for six weeks. Many of
the estimates submitted by govern
ment departments have been
mercilessly cut. The executive
branch of the government asked
for more money than it has got
Some tasks must be left undone.
Mr.. Wilson can insist on more
funds or he can sign the appropria-
ton bills and as he attaches his
signature can issue statements de-
fning the responsibility Of the
executive departments.
Cut Taxes Where il Hurts.
The Republicans have been cut
ting down on appropriations be-
cause they believed the American
people want economy and reduc-
ton of taxes. But the most rad
ical cut has been made in the ap-
preparations of the army and navy.
Naturally the end of the war brings
a reduction in size OF the military
and naval establishments. But it
is going to be very difficult to ex-
plain to many of the troops re-
turning from overseas why they
haven't had as good accommoda-
tions as their predecessors. Thous-
ands of officers are returning in
the hold of TRANSPORTS. MANY of
them went across as priyates, but
valor in battle won them a promo
tion-but the economy wave de
prived them of the benefits of
their rank.
Work Hardship on Vets.
Similarly, an embarrass sing stu
alton has arisen with respect to
the 10000 reserve officers who re
sponded eagerly TO a questionable
sent out a few months ago by the
war department asking how many
officers had entered from civil life
would care to stay in the army.
