DEATH BY TUBERCULOSIS
IS GREATER THAN WAR

Minnesota men and women who
served in the World War are vitality
interested in the success of the 1920
Christmas Seal Sale. it is emphasized
in the letter from J. H. Galbraith, Jr.,
national commander of the Ameri-
can Legion, mailed to every Legion
post in the state today by officers of
the Minnesota department.
Commander Galbraith calls atten-
ton to the menace of tuberculosis as
disclosed by the World War. The
white Plague" killed 10000 per-
sons in the United States while
deaths in service totaled but 67,SS2.
Draft and camp examinations found
1900 Minnesota young men victims
of tuberculosis. Total draft rejec-
tions on account of tuberculosis were
10000 and Al per cent of all men
under the care of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance are "White Plague"
victims.
"The seriousness of this problem
has been brought home to the Am
erican Legion which now is bending
of our disabled, thousands of whom
are afflicted with tuberculosis and
are without proper hospital treat
ment," states Commander Ga]braith
in his letter to the National Tuber-
culosis association.
''Members of the Legion are Wit
! ally interested in your community
education and organization preven-
tive plan. which in my opinion COM
bats the evil at it's source. have been
hearty supporter of your Christ

There is all the more reason why
Legion men and women should sup

HARDING MAY CONFER
WITH RREC0NCILABLES
Rumbles of Instruction Among
Some Republicans in Sem
ate Reach Harding
(By United Press)

Marion, Dec Is. (By Raymond
Clapper. )-Rumbles of possible in
surrections among republican irrcon-
cilables in the senate are reaching
Senator Harding thru various chan
nels today. He may call some of
their leaders to Marion shortly with a
view to nipping many insurgent
movements which have wrecked the
present administration.
Among other sources of apprehen-
sion is the drawing Of the new cab
met and the belief that Harding in
tends to appoint Herbert Hoover. An
other is fear that he has not plan
ned to bring about immediate set
tlement of domestic problems. Hard
ing is in closest touch with the SEN
ate situation.
Ray Robbins of Chicago progress
sive, was to be here today and the
most important objects of his mis-
sion were on domestic legislation and
the labor situation.

much activity in the Seven Lakes ois
field Of Mckinley county. Immediate
ly following the passage Of the Dill

Surveyors accompanied the different
groups and lines were run and cor

of approval by the president. Crown
point served as a base OF operations
and communications, ic being the ter
minus of the telephone line from
Thoreau. It was essential that infOr
nation OF the presidents approval CT
the bill be not delayed through de-
signing persons and to that end run
ners and guards we're stationed az
many places on the line TO prevent
wire cutting. Notwithstanding these
precautions, it is reported that the
line was cat six or eight times but 10
each instance it was quickly discov-
cred and repaired.
When. at last, the news came BY
telephone OF presidential approval the
rush began to occupy all government
sections and to post the notices nee
essary to hold the lands. In a few
cases there we're clashes and contests
but no casualties. This keen rivalry
to establish prior rights in the Seven

feeling OF confidence in its prospects
