 WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-"Denial that there Is condition approaching famine or plague in the South" was made today in report unanimously adopted by health officials from dozen southern states in conference here with Surgeon General Cumming of the public health esrvice to discuss the pellagra situation. It held that 'erroneous and miseladingp state ments had been made to the public.
 After making an investigation, using all information available" the report said. we do Lot believe the situation warrants or should occasion any undue alarm. The indications are that there will be an increase in pellagra this year in localities in cer- tain states where the disease has been epidemic, but data in hand shows in an unmistakable way that the mum Der of cases and deaths from pei lagra will still be less than the an nual average during the period of 1914 to l921.-

PROHIBITION AGENTS
 MUST GO EASY WITH
 DOUBLE TAX PENALTY

WASHINGTON. Aug, 5.-Federal prohibition agents were warned to- night by commissioner Haynes again st somewhat widespread feeling that section 30 of title two of the na- tional prohibition act is being enfor- ced with unnecessary severity. The section provides for the assessment of double taxes, together with penalty for the illegal manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquor
 While this office has no doubt of the wisdom of the legislation. or of the constitutional authority for it's enactment Mir. Haynes instructions said, it must be admitted that 1t places unusual power in an adminis- trative department, which it would be very easy to exercise in manner which would bring disrepute upon the law. To avoid such result, it Is nee essary that the authority conferred shall be exercised with the most scrupulous fairness to the persons charged with liability
 MT. Haynes also cautioned his agents against developing weak cases and declared that the efficiency of the force henceforth would be judged not by the number of cases reported. but by the thorouehness with which they are developed.

guide. There Is no directory of gov- ernment offices anywhere in the world so far as discovered.
 Part of this confusion of offices arose during the war. Many bureau heads, not to speak of department heads, came to the nasty conclusion that the war would last forever, and they should make provision for an eternity of good times. The army and navy very frankly tell one, for example, that their efforts were guided largely by the conviction of some of the superiors that the war might last for from five to seven years. Consequently the bureau heads rented offices. Money was flush, and the thought of the inevitable set ting day hs not penetrated even the loftiest American intellect. Any thoroughly on-the job bureau head who needed an office would rent a couple of offices. Everything was done on the same plane. heard the other day of dismant1ed army camp in which there are now 1900 type writers gathering rust. No one if kicking, understand Probably 1t had to be done just that way.

LONDON, Aug. 6-That the prac- tical results of the Washington con ference cannot be reckoned upon with any degree of confidence, is the con- clusion of the Japanese press and public opinion in Japan. according to long statement communicated to the London newspapers by the Jap anese embassy.
 After reviewing the attitude of the various Japanese newspapers re- specting the invitation to the confer ence and the asenda, procedure and other details, the statement con cludes:
 "On the whole, there emerges both from the press and public. the opin- ion that at the present moment, al- though American earnestness and disinteredness generally are taken for granted, there is a certain current of opinion unfavorable to the American proposal. because although theoreti- cally regarded with complete ap- proval, it is felt that a practical re- suits cannot be reckoned upon with any degree of confidence"

never 1bave been discovered if it had not been fol the bloodhound like ca pacity for trail following which MT. Browns committee is manifesting. Little by little it will be learned just how many bureaus and sub bureaus and annexes and temporary affixes and departmental lean-tos there are left. In the end the committee will know just how much of an office force this government needs to carry on its business in all the states and cities.
 Then wil come the question of housing. There is even now no doubt that a great deal of room can be. saved. There is likewise no doubt that the governmental machinery has been permanently expanded and that it will never be contracted to the pre-war size. Further. the committee being made up of business men, it is obvious that. If a great organizing genius had located the offices in the various American cities on purpose to make as much trouble as possible to the public that deals in them, the work could not have been better done.
 Need Thousands of Buildings
 It is the hope that in the end they will be grouped conveniently. But that involves the building of thou sands--literally thousands-of build- ings. And Uncle Sam hasn't the money. It is too bad, and this Is the richest nation in the world. But everyone owes us money and nc one can trade with us so we can gel our hands on little cash. And there you are.
 Hence the suggestion which pre- races this article: Why should not the builders in the various cities gel together with the government off cials and build the sort of office buildings that are needed on the pay it-like- rent plan? That need not cost the government any more, or al much as it pays now. It need no' involve the issue of more bonds. In the end sthe government would owr the buildings, business would have been boosted into third speed, anc everyone except the blue Sunday folks would be happy. But we al know why nothing of this sort VII ever be done. Common sense, as has been so vel observed by few million people, has nothing to do with the operation ol government.
