OF BELGIUM
BLAMED FOR TENSION
Reports of Possible Rupture With
Holland Explained BY, Dele.
- gate at Paris, & E
By the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 12-Alarmist re-
ports of high tension and pessible rup-
ture Of diplomatic relations between
Belgium and Holland, which have heen
current for the past few days in Brus-
seis and in diplomatic and peace con-
terence circles here, have their source
in the interior politics of Belgium.
and are fostered by the political party
IaVoring an energetic policy toward
Holland. according to a member of
the Belgian peace delegation in Paris
THE situation is neither more
strained nor better than it has been
dealing with the Scheldt and Linn
bourg questions" the delegate added
recurrence of these reports, which
have sprung up from time to time, the
Belgian says, has been caused by the
fag-burning incident at Breskens,
where Dutch sailors hauled down the
Belgian flag, trampled and burned it,
and also by the sinking of the Bel
gian yacht Java in Brouwershaven
harbor by few drunken rowdies.
Belgium has no time to go to war
over such trifies.' declared the dele
gate. She is too busy. A note prob
ably will be sent to the Dutch gov
ernment asking explanations of these
Incidents but the note will not be
couched in severe terms as the ma
tionaiist party would request. Bel
gium realizes that the incidents were
caused by irresponsible individuals
and that the Dutch government is not
to blame. -
Belgium" continued the speaker,
has practically given up hope Of OBJ
tanning from Holland a settlement of
the ScheIdt and Limbourg questions
along lines proposed by her delega-
ton. This is due to the attitude of the
treat powers, especially the United
States, who are openly hostile to Bel
sums point of view. But perhaps an
agreement may be reached with Ho1-
land on a broader basis"

;$81, $4,000 ECONOMIC
LOSS BY TUBERCULOSIS
DR.. Herman M. Biggs Gives Data
Collected on Disease in New
York City.

NEW YORK, November 1s.-New
York citys economic loss in 1918 from
tuberculosis was approximately $751;
10000. according to a statement made
by Dr. Herman NJ. Biggs, state COM
missioner of health.
The magnitude of this loss could
better be comprehended, added the
state heaith commissioner when. it
was recalled that the city's budget
last year was $23S,12S,759 In other
words. the loss from tuberculosis in
one year, was more than one-third the
entire cost Of running the entire city
government for the same year.
There were 1O,197 deaths here from
tuberculosis in its various forms last
year. continued DR.. Biggs, who has
just been made chairman of the execu-

will open on December 1 in practically
every city and town in the country
and will continue for ten days. More
than $50, ,O0O, 900 seals will be sold.
The citys economic loss. accordin g
to Dr. Biggs, is greater from tuber-
culosis than from any other disease
for the very reason that larger per-
centage of workers are the victims.
Most of these victims are between
the ages of fifteen and fifty, although
|, there is great loss of life among
children as young as five years. The
New Yorker. however, who has tuber-
culosis. dies at the average age of
thirty five, losing twenty-four years
which, in the event of good health,
would be his to live. Seventeen of
these years. DR.. Biggs asserts, would
ordinarily be employed in productive
work.
