TUBERCULOSIS CLINICS.

- ~ ) > X
tuberculosis clinics can now be given
IN Minnesota under the auspices Of the
County Public Health Associations in
the various counties, says the Mime
sofa Public Health Association Journal.
It IS due to the ready and cordial CO
operation Of the State Advisory Com
mission on tuberculosis with the Mime
sofa Public Health Association that this
offer can be made. The latter organiza-
ton is in receipt of letter from Dr..
Robinson Bosworth: Secretary Of the
State Advisory Commission, under date
Of Sept. Bird. The letter gives the
arrangement in detail. We are pleased
to publish the substance of it as follows:
Relative to the Advisory Commits
sion cooperating with the Minnesota
Public Health Association in the estab-
lishment and maintenance of tuber-
culosis clinics throughout Minnesota;
the Advisory Commission looks with
great favor upon the idea Of establishing
tuberculosis clinics throughout the state
and desires to cooperate in every pos
sible manner
Your Association will be able to
obtain the cooperation Of those 80
counties which now have tuberculosis
Sanatoria, so that the physicians in
charge of the medical work in such
institutions may be relied to conduct
the clinics in these counties.
In those 81 counties not having
tuberculosis Sanatoria, whenever clinics
have been arranged for such counties,
a group Of tuberculosis experts from the
several sanatoria in the state could be
obtained upon the request Of the Advisory
Commission, making it possible to con
duct the clinics more efficiently, examine

DEP End / ON J0E Frs
IN MI. l'I'A R IA VS.
DANGER STILL IMMINENT OF,
COMPULSORY MILITARY
TRAINING.
IA LARGE BUSINESS INTERESTS
DOMINATE ATTITUDE OF
CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, D. Danger of
ompulsory military service and of a
huge standing army, with considerable
mployement outside Of America, is
still imminent. sss
Talk by politicians about stand
ing army Of only SOC, 600 means moth
ing, because the great majority Of con-
gress have become nilitarists and will
show their true coIors at the proper
time.
In view Of the popular sentiment
against militarism at the present time,
the militarists will win their points
by means of jokers in what appear to
be modest laws. Il 81
Thus the administration bill which
proposes a standing army Of 100000
provides for compulsory training TO all
boys Of 10. Then comes a joker whereby
these boys are kept under government
orders for two years and can be sent
anywhere at the discretion Of the presi-
ent.
Huge Army Planned.
With the number Of 19-year-old boys
reaching 100000; according to experts,
the president would thus have an army
of 10000 boys for domestic or for
Eeign employment.
Then comes joker No. 2. Under
the present law the president can not
send troops outside Of the country
without the authority Of congress. We
have troops now in Siberia and other
places in violation Of this law, but on
the hair-spitting excuse that the war
is not over because peace with Ger
many has not been approved by con-
gress. The administration bill frees
the president from this necessity OF con-
gressional approval for foreign war.
Joker No. makes the draft act,
which hitherto had to have special
enactment, automatically in force with
any declaration Of war. Thus men could
be drafted for war with Mexico, for
putting down wars for independence in
Ireland, Egypt Or India, or revolution
IN Italy or France.
Joker No. 4 is the failure to make
any distinction between military train
ing and military service. Our boys Of
19 might get military training without
being in military service. But under
every law suggested so far no such dis
tinction is made. The young men might
be given their training in South America,
Egypt, Siberia or the Sahara desert.
Reason for Militarisn.
The importance Of this last joker
in the militarist tactics is shown by
the way the niitarists who are trying
to use the American Legion are en-
deavoring to get that body on record
on the wrong side. At the recent Min
neapolis convention universal military
service was turned down, but the dele
gates were deceived into indorsing
Universal military training. Our law
makers viii SO word any law they put
