TREATY DEBATE
TO FORE AGAIN
Leaders Say White House An
nouncement Has Not
Changed Situation.

Washington, Dec. 15.-President
Wilson's statement that he had mo
compromise or concession of any
kind in mind" and that he would
make no move toward disposition of
the treaty, but would continue to hold
senate republicans responsible for the
delay for its ratification, today
brought the treaty and the league of
nations to the front in congress. Re-
vived Saturday by a. proposal of Sem
ator Knox, republican, Pennsylvania,
debate on the peace question prom
ised to consume much of the time of
the senate during the next day or
two, although leaders declared the
White House announcement had had
no effect in changing the situation.
Some considered the treaty situa-
ton today was hopeless deadlock.
| Announcement from the White
House that the president plans no
compromise brought disappointment
to those friends OF the treaty, who
had hoped that President Wilson
would arrange common ground for
settlement with the friends of the
treaty.
Senator Lodge and republican
leaders were prepared to accept the
challenge of the president that theirs
Is the undivided responsibility" for
the treaty situation.
| The pressure of public opinion now
seems to be the only factor which
may bring a change in the treaty sit
uation, unless sentiment demands tc
follow the lead of Senator Under
wood, of Alabama, and declare fol
the resolution ending the state, of wal
with Germany when they believe nc
other hope is offered.
1t was announced at the White
House today that the statement is
sued declaring that the president hat
no plan for compromise was die
tated by the president himself.

e1ation of the massacre of 500 persons
and the wounding of 1,500 others at
Amritsar, India. by troops acting under
British army officers, during the dis
orders, last April. is certain TO be aired
in parliament, according to the Daiiy
Express today.
The Manchester Guardian and the
Daily Herald. the latter the official or
gan of the labor party, were the only
two papers that commented heatedly
against the wholesale killings. The
Daily Herald declared that the only
solution for such troubles Is the crea-
tion of labor government for England
which would extend elf-determination
to such countries as India. Egypt and
ireland.
The Morning Post attempted TO
justify the shooting OF Indians at
Amritsar, pointing out that 'sedition
had been growing in India"
Few more dreadful Incidents can be
found in the history of British rule in
India" said the Manchester Guardian.
This. newspaper expressed the belief
that such measures of repression were

PUBLIC HEALTH
COOPERATION

Preventable disease cost the Unit
ed States four billion dollars less in
1917 than it would had the health con-
ditions Of 20 years ago prevailed in
1917.
Four hundred thousand less deaths
occurred in 1917 than would have had
the 1900 death rate prevailed.
Annual illness of workers still costs
this country two billion dollars each
year.
One man in every three called by
the Army was found to be physically
unfit.
These figures were given by Sur
geon General Rupert Blue of the
United States Public Health Service,
in urging a plan for nationwide con-
servation of health and calling on all
health agencies to cooperate in a
carefully prepared program.
Surgeon General Blue has sent a
letter to State and City Health Off
GERS, to the head of the American Red
Cross, The American Public Health
Association, the American Medical
Association, the National tuberculosis
Association, the International Health
Commission, the National Safety
Council, the American Child Hygiene
Association and other health agencies,
suggesting a conference in Washing
ton to consider health program pre-
pared by the Public Health Service.
The Surgeon General points out that
practically all of these agencies have
under consideration some plan of
health conservation and that unless
the work can be coordinated and pro-
perly directed, little will be accom-
plished and there will be much over
tapping of effort and waste of funds.
