A number of battleships, cruisers and
other vessels of the United States Navy
have been arranged so that they cap
be used as transports to help bring
back the American soldiers from over
seas, and some of them are already in
this service. 1t is hoped that practical

will be brought back by some time in
February. A considerable number will
be retained in France and Germany
however, until peace negotiations have
been finally concluded and Germany
has complied with the terms.

"Then you consider this serious
menace2" was asked. "In my opinion
It is, though I hasten to add 1t Is dis
tinctly one against which the people
can guard. So far as one can estimate
there are at present about one million
cases Of tuberculosis in the United
: States. There Is unfortunately no
complete census available to show ex-
laetly the number Of tuberculous per-
sons In each state despite the fact that
most Of the states have made the dis
ease repoftable. In New York city,
where reporting has been in force for
many years, over $4,000 cases Of tu-
berculosis are registered with the De-
partment of Health. Those familiar
with the situation believe that the ad-
dition Of unrecognized and unreported
cases would make the number nearer
$4,000. The very careful health sur
,vey conducted during the past two
years In birmingham, Mass, revealed
200 cases of tuberculosis in a popula-
ton Of approximately $4,000. If these
proportions hold true for the United
States as whole they would indicate
that about one In every hundred per-
sons Is tuberculous. Each Of these
constitutes a source Of danger to be
guarded against"

Washington, D. G. Especial. )-Ac-
cordlng to a report made to the United
States Public Health Service, the cpl

ready caused an increase In the preva-

tween influenza and tuberculosis was
recently made by Sir Arthur News,

English public health service, In his
analysis Of the tuberculosis death rate
In England.

What to Do.

In his statement to the public Sur
geon General Blue points out how
those who have had Influenza should
protect themselves against tuberculo-
sis. "An who have recovered from In
fiuenza," says the Surgeon General,
SHOULD have their lungs carefully e1-
amined by a competent physician. In
fact, 1t is desirable to have several e1-
aminations made a month apart. Such
examinations cannot be made through
the clothing nor can they be carried
out In two or three minutes. II the
lungs are found to be free from tuber-
culosis every effort should be made to
keep them so. This can be done by
right living. good food and plenty OF
fresh air."

Danger Signs

The Surgeon General warned espe-
'cially against certain danger signs,
such as decline" and "colds which
hang on"
These, he explained, were often the
beginning of tuberculosis. "h you do
not get well promptly, II your cold
seems to hang on or your health and
strength decline, remember that these
are often the early signs Of tuberculo-
sis. Place yourself at once under the

toric mansion known as the General
David Robinson home Mr. Robinson
was a son of Bennington's pioneer set
tier, Samuel Robinson The property
consisting of a mansion and farm
has passed from one to another of
several generations. One acre of
land, north of the residence on Monu-
ment Avenue and adjoining lands of
Hon George b. Wellington has recent
ly been sold by a great grandson Of
General Robinson to Mrs Eleanor
Squires and her son, Charles b.
Squires. the land being directly op-
posite their beautiful homes on Mon
ument avenue. The owner of the
acre in question and who has just
parted with his interest is Heman
Robinson, son of the late George w
Robinson Mr. Robinson for many
years of his life was connected with
the United States mint in San Fran
cisco, Cal, but at the present time
and for some time past has taken up
his residence in the home of his boy
hood ~.
Ii is understood that the acre of
land acquired by Mrs. Squires and
her son will be in time converted into
an Italian garden and will be one Of
the beauty spots to gladden. the eye
of all those who pass to and fro to the

property ownership is undoubtedly
but the beginning of many other
changes which will be made in the

BAN is RAISED
American Soldiers May Now Frater-
niZe with Germans

Ccblenz, Sept. 27.-(By Associated
Press.)-The army regulation pro-
hibiting American officers and soldiers
from fraternizing with Germans was
revoked in an order issued today by
Major General Allen The rule against
fraternizing became effective in De-
cember soon after Major General
Dickman and the American army Of
occupation reached the Rhine. The
British and French are reported to
have lifted their ban several months
ago.
For the last month the regulation
in the American area has not been
strictly enforced and there has been
considerable promenading by Ameri-
can soldiers with German girls. The
revocation of the fraternizing order
in no way effects the regulation pro
hibiting American soldiers from mar
rying German women.
