There were in 1918 10000 tuber-
culous persons in South Carolina
with a probable increase this year
due to the epidemic of influenza of
last winter. More sanatoria must be
provided There must be more beds,
more nurses, more open air schools,
more of everything that is necessary
to crush the scourge.
The funds obtained by the sale of
the Red Cross Christmas seal will
mean a greater number of nurses
for South Carolina and greater
number Of better equipped tubercu-
losis camps, and better education
of the people in the prevention of
this disease.

Line UP I'm TRENTON
I'm SUFFRAGE FIGHT

BIZ SpecidI Correspondent.
TRENTON, Dec. 3.-Little progress
was made yesterday by the Republi-
can Legislative majority conference
measures to be considered this win
ter.
Both "suff" and "anti" workers
were noted in the corridors here
again yesterday. Miss Betty Gram,
who Is in charge of ratification Of the
Equal Suffrage Amendment in this
State with headquarters at Newark,
was in the corridors urging the Re-
publican law makers to vote for rati-
fication and to disregard the question
of a referendum. She represented
the National Woman's Party.
: According to Miss Gram, Senator
Mackay, of Bergen county, will lead
the ratification battle for the Suffra-
gists. He will also be speaker at a
Wednesday. Miss Gram explained
that the "Suffs" are working to get
enough States to ratify the National
Am mendment before any of the States
hold their Presidential preferential
primaries, SO that the women of the
country may participate in the pri-
mary voting for delegates to the Ma
tional Conventions.
The House steering committee got
busy and apportioned the places in
the lower branch of the Legislature
for the present session. The total
amount of salaries involved in the po-
sitions apportioned amounted to about
$4,000. None of the patronage went
to Essex, this being decided a week
ago.
Assemblyman-elec Lyons, of Mid
dlesex, was here contending that his
county should be well taken care of
in the matter of House places, as it
is a normally Democratic county and
the Republicans there should be en-
couraged. Middlesex was given an as
sstant supervisor of bills, steno-
grapher and a page.

that Carranza would order the re-

Should Carranza continue to hold

PARIS, Dec. S-Germany has de-
cided not to sign the protocol pre-
sented to her by the Allies as a con-
dition for putting the peace treaty
into effect the peace conference has
been notified.
Baron Kurt Won Lersner, head Of the
German delegation here, called on
Secretary Dutasta of the conference
and told him Germany had made
such a decision.
This attitude is taken as confirm
ing the report of sharp reaction in
Germany within the last fortnight.
Trained observers of German devel-
opment, have expressed to members
of the peace conference, the view
that there has been a complete trans
formation of the situation in Ger
many, brought about In their opinion
by the failure of the United States
senate to ratify the peace treaty.
Support German Attitude.
These observers declare that while
the vast majority of the Germans,
before the senate adjournment de-
sired the peace treaty ratified as soon
as possible they now are supporting
the governments attitude in resisting
the demands of the allies for indem-
nifty for the sinking of the German
fleet at Scapa Flow, recompense for
which was provided for in the .protos
col
The question upon which German
representatives here, however, appear
most sensitive is the insistence upon
the trial of German officers accused
of the commission of crimes in France
and Belg .um.
Thus far, it is stated, no indica-
tions have reached Paris of any dis-a
position on the part of the Germans
to modify their attitude.
