SERIOUS
To Demand Release Of Jenkins

cans Adds to TGnseness Of
the Crisis
By The Associated Press.

BIZ The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28-Although
denial from Mexico City of the re-
ported fighting there between follow
ers of President Carranza and Gem
eral Alvaro Obregon, presidential
candidate, served 10 ease the tense-
ness of the relations between Mex
leo and the United States, the State
Department today had not altered its
determination to enforce the de-
mand for the prompt release of Amer
lean Consular Agent X. Jennings, Inn
prisoned on the charge of conniving
with his bandit captors.
On top of the already delicate
Mexican situation was the report of
the murder of another American, w.
NJ. Wallace, oil man who was shot
down by a Carranza soldier. This
combined with the Jenkins case, was
expected to spur the State Depart
ment to strong diplomatic action
against the CarranZa government,
which has been warned repeatedly
against mistreatment of American cit
izens.
Mexico probably will be called upon
for show-dow once and for all If
the repeated killing and molestation
of American citizens continue, and the
American consular agent remains con-
fined in prison or what American Of
tlcials believe are trumped up charges.
State Department has indicated plain
ly that arglrmentative diplomacy will
not divert the government frols "a
course of dealing with q serious in

RED CROSS SEAL
DRIVE STARTED
And Fight Against tuberculosis
Much Accomplished

The Middlesex Anti-Tubercuiosls
League have started the Red Cross
Christmas Seal campaign and q drive
for $4,000 throughout the county
will be made. William j. Willsey,
county executive secretary, will be in
charge of the sale in this city; DIR.
E. /. Cronk, health officer, will take
charge of the sale in New Brunswick
and Frank Born, health inspector,
will conduct the sale in Roosevelt.
The remainder of the county will be
handled by the secretary.
This is the first Red Cross Seal sale
since 1917, and the $4,000 fund which
was allotted TO the Middlesex County
Anti ti-Tuberculosis organization Is en-
tirely inadequate for the present need
to take care Of the increasing number
of reported cases due to the increased
population, combined with the fact
that more thorough educational
work which has been carried on by
the county organization during the
past two years of its existence making
it possible to curb the disease in its
early stages. In addition to this the
problem of the II. c. l.. is demanding
attention.
Unless funds are provided for the
families left destitute as a result of
this disease hundreds of children will
succumb to this disease, that is talk
ing one person every three minutes
and $50 every day.
The county organization Is doing
considerable educational work
through the schools by means of the
Modern Health Crusaders. Educa-
tors believe this method to be best
way of teaching health and hygiene.
The simple rules of health will be
taught the children, and this will
mark the first effort in this respect
ever made. This way seems the only
possible way that control of tubercu-
losis will be obtained. 1t Is now con-
ceded by the greatest authorities that
at least ninety per cent of the popu-
lation receive the infection and that
seventy-five per cent are infected at
the age of fifteen years.
The league reports that 572 active
cases are recorded in the county and
about 1000 are unrccordcd by the
league. This body has sent 1872 cases
to the sanatorium sixty Of which re-
turned improved and twenty-one died
There are seventy-fve to eigfihty
cases constantly in the sanatorium.
A free clinic has been starter in
this city and one is about to be start
past year 427 cases were passed on
at the Perth Amboy City hospital,
and the work already started, must
be continued, If control of this dis
ease is hoped for Food is one of the
great needs of the families today,
who have been left destitute by the
death or incapacty of the bread
winner. One hundred and three fam
lilies wit hfour hundred and ninety
seven children are on the lists of the
league today and funds must be Sc
cured by the sale of the seals to
