Friends: AS president of the To-
peka Tuberculosis association job
wished upon mel wish to apologize
for the lack of interest with which
1 first entered upon this work. After
dealing with the good people of To-
peka and Shawnee county. after
reading the many pitiful letters in
response to our appeal for aid, after
realizing the Immense value of this
fight against a most deadly disease.
I have become thoroly converted to
the cause. 1 have been awakened to
the fact that there is a crying need
for more and more force against the
ravageS of tuberculosis in the city, the
county, the state and the nation.
For the last four weeks I have de-
voted all of my spare time-and con-
siderable that should not have been
spared-to the sale of health bonds
and Christmas seals in Topeka and
Shawnee county. The flood of letters
on my desk-letter from the poor. the
rich, the young, the old-have con-
WINGED me that there is great re-
ward to one who feels that he has
taken part in such a cause.
I must admit that my eyes have
been dinmed at the missives scrubbed
by unsteady hands.
I know now why such noble women
as Mrs. Charles Brooks Thomas have
devoted their lives in Topeka to the
cause OF charity. 1 always nave ad-
mired Mrs. Thomas for her unselfish
gift of time and money but now I
envy her of the opportunity to be of
such a great aid to those in distress
and in unfortunate circumstances.
Topekans who sit by glowing fire
sides, who motor to the theaters, who
gather around beautiful tables should
be given a chance to come in contact
for a minute with the other side of it
all. They would thank God then for
the blessings that have been heaped
upon them.
And 1 have seen very little
The health bond and seal sale has
not been what might be termed a
"howling success" financially. There
have been too many other demands
upon the public. The public cannot
be blamed. But 1t has gone far be-
yond the expectations of those con-
nected with it who saw the tremen-
dous obstacle to overcome. It has
been most satisfa Glory success
morally 1t has brought about more
interest in the need of tuberculosis
warfare. 1t has aroused concern in a
menace that faces US daily. 1t has
assured the means of concentrated
fight against the great white plague
here in 1921.

Woman VIII Form, Force of

among girls can best be done by
women.
His enthusiasm is shared by the
citizens committee of Detroit and the
women's protective comm ttee. which
backs up the work of the Girls Pro-
| tective League. For some time Com
missioner Inches has been convinced
that constructive work among women
and girls would be of benefit to the
| city and has been looking about for
some one who would organize the
work.
Six Months for Work.
'I don't intend to give up my work
at the travellers aid. In six months
the Detroit force will be organized and
sufficiently well trained, I hope. so
that I will be able to give much less
time. My plan is to organize the force
and then after we have demonstrated
what such a group of women can do
for the city to turn it over to some one
who will take permanent charge. In
Washington we have already seen
what a good force of women police
can do. Mrs. Nina Van Wrinkle is at
the head of an excellent force of po-
| licewomen in that city, the force hav-
ing been organized under that SPLEEN
did Washington police commissioner,
| Major Pullman, who died a year ago.
! THE work of the policewomen is
| somewhat akin to that of the Travel
ers' Aid society in that the work of
the travellers aid is preventive and
| affords protection for girls, altho the
| travellers aid has a broader scope than
this. But the value of preventive
work has been completely demon
strated by the experienced of the tray-
elers' aid. We have come to see clear
ly how necessary this work is in all
cities"

ditions among girls and women in De-
troit were particularly bad at present
Miss Murray said no, that the desire
to organize women's police force was
not a sign that conditions were worse

CHINA LOAN AGREEMENT

Negotiations Between u. S.,
France, Japan and Great Britain
Progress, London Reports.

LONDON. April 30.-The negotia-
tons between the United States, ia
pan, France and Great Britain, aim
ing at an agreement whereby loan
would be granted to China, have
reached stage which. it is believed
in financial quarters here, will speed
lily result in a settlement.
Great Britain has answered Japan's
latest communication, in which Japan
requested certain reservations, with
a counter proposal which. it is re-
ported. will be acceptable to the Unit
ed States and France, and f1nanciers
here believe it will suit Japan.
Each government is working as
rapidly as possible in the hope that
details Of the agreement may be set
tied. while Thomas w. Lamont, rep
resentative of the American group
of fnanciers. is in the far east as
sisting in arranging matters.
The proposed loan Is to be secured
by joint control of China's railroads
by the interested financiers. Japan
requested that certain strategic lines
remain to her individual control.
Great Britain replied that her finan-
ciers would agree to leave some of
these lines entirely out of the deal,
but that others would pass to joint
control. The lines stipulated are
known as the Tsinan-Fu system, ra-
dating east and south from Tsinan-
Flu. and already controlled by Japan.
Those interested in the loan take
the attitude that they are willing to
grant Japan a diplomatic victory and
award these lines to her in order to
bring the loan into being.

TOMEDITERRANEAN SEA
Remarkable Engineering Feat in
Italy Requires Fifty Tons OF Ex-
plosives and 1000 Bombs.

ROME. April Is Correspondence Of
the Associated ess).-Don Gelasio
Caetani. A brother of Prince Caetani,
the American-trained engineer, who
laid the mine which blew off the top
of the mountain Col di Lana, during
the war. burying hundreds Of Austrian
soldiers beneath it. has just dynamited
a canal into existence from Lake Cap
polace to the Mediterranean sea.
The work was undertaken by direc-
ton Of the prince. also known as the
Duke of Sermoneta, head Of the Gaze
TAM family. in the Pontine marshes
near the dukes vast estate of Cister-
ma, forty miles from Rome.
The Pontine Marshes constitute the
swampy forest country which
stretches between the Roman Cam
pagna and Terracina. region which
the prince has labored for years to re-
claim. On the seashore Of this strange
volcanic region there are three lakes
or lagoons, called Fogliano, Monaco
and Caprolace. communicating with
each other. into which at high tide all
kinds of fish find their way, remaining
there to breed and fatten for the Ro-
man market, to which every day some
ten to forty hundredweight are ship
ped. Only one. that Of Fogliano, is di-
rectly connected with the sea, and in
order to unite that of Caprolace with
the neighbOring Mediterranean and to
greatly increase the yield of fish,
Prince Caetanf> decided to explode a
series Of mines SO as to form a canal
between this lake and the sea.
The undertaking took fifty tons of
explosives and 100 large bombs, or
five times as much as was required
to destroy the mountain top. It was
successful, opening a channel to the
sea.
