TUBERCULOSIS BEC0MbATTED
 BY THE ARMY

ATLANTIC CITY, June 25 (by As sociated ress).-Special reconstruc- tfon towns may be established by the government in the near future, where soldiers suffering from tuberculosis can regain their health and at the same time work at light trades to fit themselves for a full return to indus trial life, said Colonel Ester Nichols, commandant of the United States Army General Hospital No. 16 at New Haven, Conn, in an address at the an nual meeting of the National Tuber- culosis Association today.
 "This Is being considered" he says, "as a part of Uncle Sam's plan for vocational re-education which, since the armistice, has for it's purpose the fitting of men disabled by the war for new occupations in civil life."
 The idea of special communities for these men and their families has been advanced by Captain F. A. Waugh of the United States army sanitary corps, and would be for the purpose of bridg- ing over the gap between sanatorium treatment and full return to industry.
 These towns" said Colonel Nichols, might be located upon lands in the national forests. This would permit of the setting up of attractive and healthful woodworking industries for the patients and afford an opportunity for them to retain permanent control of land holdings after they were cured.
 No matter where these towns might be located proper medical super vision would be necessary" he said, but, whereas, medical treatment has first place in sanatorium care of suf- ferers from tuberculosis, productive industry would take precedence in the proposed reconstruction towns. These communities would require financial assistance at first but might eventual ly become self-supporting."
 Surgeon B. J. Lloyd, of the United States public health service said the building of the Panama canal was but days work in comparison of the task of eradicating tuberculosis.
 "The tuberculosis problem when reduced to its lowest terms" he said, means the germ of tuberculosis on the one hand, and the newborn babe on the other. Inasmuoh as no baby is ever born with tuberculosis, if the two could be kept apart there would be no tuberculosis problem"
 Dr. Lloyd emphasized the need of a division of tuberculosis in the United States Public Health Service. This, he said, would permit of cooperative correlation of the activities of all bodies and departments of the govern ment engaged in tuberculosis work.

GREATEST NEED OF RUMANlA
 MORE FOOD

ATHENS, June (by maiD.-Ger' many has stripped Rumania of every thing. writes Red Cross agent from Budapest. There are only eight-four locomotives in the whole country for the transport of troops, munitions and supplies. Of her seventeen theoretical divisions eleven have had to be de- mobilized for lack of fuel and equip ment. There are not sufficient horses to transport field artillery, no tractors for the field artillery, forty per cent of the Rumanian medical staffs died during the war and there are virtually no airplanes, armored cars or tanks.
 Despite the efforts of the authori. ties, the country is harboring Bolshevik agents smuggled in by Russia, Hun gary and Bulgaria. As 60 per cent Of Rumania is illiterate the Bolshevik danger is apparent.
 The greatest need is food. Food for the army and food for the civilian population. America has sent dozen food ships to Rumania and the Ameri- can Red Cross is distributing food at canteens and by means of rolling soup kitchens wherever the need is greatest In the Dobrudja where the smallpox epidemic is at it's worst the American Red Cross has many doctors and nurses.
 America has loaned Rumanla $5,- 100000 but the financial situation of the country remains critical, writes the Red Cross man. This he attri- butes to Rumania's inability to export and to the broadcast issue during the German occupation of worthless bank notes.
 In addition to food the Rumanian army and civilian population desper- ately need clothing. Cloth for suit of clothes costs sixty dollars a yard. A yard of linen for shirts costs eight dollars and a shirt of ordinary quality $40. A pound of butter costs $5.5O.
 "How can America help Ruman?" a Rumanian army officer was asked.
 Continue your splendid shipments of food through the American army food mission and the American Red Cross," replied the officer. Send us propaganda written by Americans to be dropped by airplanes in the Bol- shevik ranks. We must fight ideas with ideas. Our railroad and transs port service is a wreck. Send us some of the American railroad men who did such wonderful work in France"

Urges Flock to Follow.

My submission is complete and unqualified. As to my future plans, shall in all probability enter one of the great active religious orders. How many of my former flock will follow me l cannot say. but I will advise all who are qualified to do so. It would not surprise me to hear that my Bishop in Chicago would return to the Roman Catholic Church.
 Archbishop De Berghes ct de Ra- ches has never married and has in sisted on celibaey among the priests of the Old Roman Catholic Church in America The Archbishop was a, captain in the British Army when he was tWenty-or1e and retired with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. He was in the Soudan and Egyptian cam paigns with Kitchener and was cit ed in dispatches for distinguished service in the field.
 After Bishop Jansen's death in 1888, his "Augustinus" was issued and widely read. He advanced theo- ries on grace, predestination and other questions, but, Catholic author ities insist, protesting always a will lingness to bow to the rulings of the Pope on the subjects treated.
 Despite Papal bulls, the Jansenists fought through three centuries for recognition. They disrupted the Con- vent at Port-Roya1 in France, after developing an institution near by in which Pascal, the famous philoso- pher and mathematician, studied. Racine was another product of the community.
 In Utrecht in 1723 seven priests elected Vicar-G General Cornelius Steenhoven, and for that act was in- proval was refused, but a missionary bishop named Varlet consecrated Steenhoven, and for that act was in1 terdicted. Still defying Rome, the missionary bishop consecrated three succeeding Archbishops. The Jansen ists of Utrecht were ultimately ex- communicated, but continued their religious existence and their profess sions of Catholicity. In the last cen tury- they were heard from in protest against the proclamation of PapaI dogmatic infallibility and the doc Urine of immaculate conception. Fragments of the schism develop ed in Portugal, France, Span, Ma pies, Tuscany, Parma and the Sicilies. as well as on British soil. Evidence of the gradual dissolution of the movement in Europe is noted in re- l cent statements of >Archbishop Mathew, who protests that he does not represent Jansenisn

JOINT CONTROL OF BRITISH R.R.
 IN OPERATION
In Many Respects Patterned After U. $. Plumb Plan
 Strikes Prevented

London, Nov. 25-Jo oint control and operation of the British railway sys- tenn, in which the employees have a part, in many respects similar to the Plumb Plan proposed in the United States, became effective Nov. Is, when the National Union of Railway Men accepted the proposal presented to them by the government.
 A statement was given out by J. H. Thomas, labor member, of Parliament, and secretary of the Railway Union, who explained the new system of control as follows:
 ''The government proposes that the railways be managed by a joint com mittee of executives on which the workers would have three representa- ttves, with powers equal to those of the general managers The plan would also create a joint board com posed of five general managers of railways and five delegates of the To- comotive men and the National Union of Railwaymen, to negotiate all mat ters concerning conditions of service.
 Reserve Right to Strike:
 Any dispute arising would be re- ferred to another body of 12, com prising four representatives of the Idl1WdSSy 4OuI dppO1HIGu Dy lllS l1lCL and four delegated to look after the interests of the general public. Of the representatives of the public, one would be g trade unionist not con- nected with the railways and one other would represent the co-opera- tive movement
 Neither body" Secretary Thomas added, "could withhold from the men the right to strike, but it was obvious they would not strike while & matter was under discussion. I would be mad to suggest that there would be no mores trikes, but I am convinced the machinery proposed would insure smooth sworking and improve the mems conditions"
 Railway Labor Board.
 A new ministry of transport has been created to which the railway unions will appoint two delegates. Ii is further proposed to establish 8 four represent tatives of the railway managers, four union appointees, and four railway shippers. One of the latter four is to be selected by the Farlialr entary Committee of the Trade Union Congress, another by English cooperative societies which will give the representatives of labor virtually six members of the board.
 The board will discuss questions concerning working conditions, re. serving the right to refuse any set dement's the board may reach and to retain the possible ultimate argu- ment of a strike.
