the Rockefeller Foundation. The mi

Self-supporting, was underwritten by
this committee.
THE essentials Of the plan are: %
medical, surgical and specialist service
by well trained young doctors who are
paid for their work; (2) supervision by
the college faculty; (3) instruction of
medical students in the clinic; ca APP
pointments with patients made by tele-
phone or post to avoid waste in wait

sessions, open two evenings a week for
the convenience of patients employed
during the day; (6) a charge of 81 for
each call, laboratory examinations and
X-ray plates at cost complete dag
nostic examination for patients re-
ferred by physicians for an inclusive
fee of so. On the day the clinic
opened 700 persons presented them

growing patronage ever since. An in

Retreat OF Yellow Fever.
The report cites the retreat of yell

been an ever present threat for at
least two centuries. The supreme sac

low fever by DR.. Jesse Lazear and DR..
Howard b, Cross Is noted. The stub

and tuberculosis is reviewed and the
fight made by DR.. Henry Hanson In

Doctor Hans0ns conscription of fish in
the war upon the mosquito carrier.
"The result was finally accom-

ing two local species of fish to devour
the eggs and the larvae of the mos
quito. An attempt in the beginning Of
the campaign to teach the people TO
prevent breeding on their own premises
faxed. Everything had to be done by
the mosquito squad. 1t was found
that by distributing fsh-two to four
small fish to a container holding ten
to fifteen gallons-the problem was
slmplhed by about 70 per cent. The
100000 fish distributed in this drive
conquered the epidemic.

cut in the commissioned strength to
u 900, but Senate leaders are unable to
see how Congress in voting to cut the en-
listed force from 150,000 to 100000 men
would agree to any such high percentage
of officer strength.
An officer for every eight men or even
a One-to-ten ratio is regarded as having
slim chance in the existing state OF the
congressional mind.
Whatever may be the disposition OF the
House. there is feeling in the Senate the
plucking of Army officers should be left
almost entirely to the judgment Of Sec
rotary Weeks and General Pershing. 1t Is
true there is a fear the reduction might
not take place with g rapidity satisfactory

special direction may be incorporated into

WASHINGTON, Feg. 20.--A race is on
between Congress and the War Depart
ment to reduce the number of officers
in the Army. Congress is bent on dras-
tic cuts in the commissioned, as well as
the enlisted PERSONAL Of the military
establishment. Secretary Weeks and
General Pershing have sensed the dan,
ger to the service and are striving to
have Congress let them do the plucking.
The view at the Capitol is the War De-
partment delayed too long, Army Off
GERS have been far too numerous in
Washington. Congressman have taken
notice of them. The uniform has been
prominent on the streets during office"
hours, at theaters and in hotel cafes.
Mr.. Weeks himself has stated officially
there should be q material reduction in
the numbers on staff duty here. The
White House was obliged to impose limi-
tations on the number of invitations to
the Army Navy reception this week.
Before the war, Army and Navy Off
GERS stationed in the Capitol did not wear
their uniforms. Their presence was less
noticeable to Congress. The number in
both services here at present has become
Objectionable to members who desire TO
make a brave show of economy to regain
public confidence which they sacrificed
by their antics over the soldier bonus
bill.
SUBSTANTIAL CUT
IS PROPOSED.
The current sentiment on Capitol Hill
is for a reduction of the Regular Army
to 10000 enlisted men and approx imately
1900 officers.

CUSTOMS DUTIES
ON GOLD BASIS
German Decision Causes Fall
in Exchange.

BERLIN, Feb. 2O.-The decision to col
lect customs duties hereafter on a gold
basis, though bringing a large increase in
government revenue, has had the para
doxlcal effect of inaugurating a new fall
in German exchange. The customs reve-
nues are applied to reparation payments
so the treasury profits only indirectly
from the increase while importers are
scurrying for foreign drafts to pay
duties.
The dollar which was under 200 marks
a few days ago rose yesterday to 20915
and moved higher after the official quota
tions were fixed Spectators launched a
rumor that the government had notified
the reparations commission Of its inabil-
ity to meet the present provisional pay
ment Of 100000 gold marks every ten
days. The treasury promptly denied the
report and declared the provisional scale
of payments could be maintained
