public funds for building the mucn-
needed structure have been available
for more than a year, Mrs. Grant SAID.
Meanwhile deaths from tuberculosis IN
creased here last year, Health Depart
ment statistics show, and the numper OF
known cases of the disease in children
was larger than before. On January Il
there were 901 tuberculous children IN
the District. Of these 235 had the dis
ease in active or pulmonary form, tne
others in its juvenile stages. Only l6o
such children can be cared for at the
snecial health schools provided to han
lie tubercular cases. The others, ex-
Guided from public schools, have no
special care.
The operation Of many children's
sanatoria in other cities of the United
States indicates that the plans fcr
such institutions are long past the ex-

The final isolation of the poison itself
disposes of lingering theories that the

died-how the little boy himself escaped
nobody knows-was due to an organism
from stagnant waters or to a poisonous
gas arising from them. like maleria,
it was known to be most frequent In
damp places. These theories received
impetus from the failure actually to
find any poison in the plant itself. In
North Carolina, where the disease made
its first appearance. it was believed only
a few years ago that it was due to some
from the soil. Country peo-
pie insisted that a gas arose at night
and settled on the vegetation and that
cattle were poisoned only if turned out

fore the sun had dried the dew. Hay

CHEST GIFTS CUT
DEFICIT FURTHER
Only $190,437 Behind Goal.
Drive Leaders Praise
Public Response.

Consistent reduction of the Com
munity Chest deficit continued today.
New gifts reported yesterday in the
drive for s2,601 900 increased the total
to s241o.562 "a and reduced the deficit
to s1s0,437l6.
While the amount received is not so
large" said Elwood Street, Chest di-
rector, I'VE are highly gratified at the
contributions received IN response to
the appeal in the newspapers.
Gratified by Response.
1T shows that Washingtonians are
realizing their duty to their fellow men
and that when the needs of these
thousands of people are presented to
them they are willing to respond.
Especially gratifying are the addi-
tional gifts being received from people
who although they had already pledged
to the Chest for 1882, felt that they
could do still more and are sending in
additional pledges or checks. The Chest
can use every penny and could use even
more than the campaign goal, which
was arbitrarily fixed before a definite
knowledge Of the seriousness of the un-
employment situation was fully OBJ
tanned.
With the Associated Charities, Sal
vation Army and other family organ
izations reporting decided increases in
the demands for aid, every penny that
comes in by mail or personal visit will
be appreciated and will be needed to
meet cases of absolute need"

ceived at Chest headquarters in the In

Bill to End Pay Increases
Attacked by Alias,
Union Chief.
COMMITTEE is SILENT;
REPORT DUE SHORTLY
Provision Against Filling Vacan-
cies Also Held Unfair to Work
ers Needing U. S. Jobs.

A plea to the Senate to reject the
House provisions in the agricultural ap-
preparation bill which would prevent
salary promotions and prohibit filling
Of vacancies except in unusual cases
was made today by N P. Alifas, presi-
dent of District No. A. International
Association of Machinists
1t is generally understood that If
these limitations are left in the agri-
cultural bill. which is the first of the
annual supply measures, it will be ap-
piled to the whole Government service
as the other appropriation bills come
along.
Decision Due in Few Days.
Mr.. Alias presented his arguments
against these restrictions to the Sem
ate subcommittee which is considering
the agricultural bill. 1t probably will
be several days before the bill is ready
to be reported to the Senate and until
that time the attitude of the Senate
committee toward these limitations will
sented by Mr.. Alias are directly af-
fected by the War and Navy Depart
ments appropriation bill, but the policy
toward these restrictions is expected
to be determined on the pending bill
Mr.. Alifas pointed out today that the
House provisions would prevent en-
ployes receiving the minimum salary of
grade from receiving an increase, as
they ordinarily would do, when some
one receiving higher salary leaves the
service. He said a person entering a
new grade would get the minimum rate,
unless that should amount to re-
duction.
Cites JObless Problem.
He also emphasized that the restric-
tion on filling vacancies in the Gov
ernment service from now until the end
of the next fiscal year, would prevent
Uncle Sam. one of the largest en-
ployers in the United States. from help
ing to absorb his share of the army OF
unemployed throughout the country.
As passed by the House, the bill pro-
vides that vacancies could be filled only
by presidential order in cases regarded
as essential.
MIR. Alifas pointed out today that
economists contend that every dollar
expended by the Government in the
course of a year creates about five dol
lars; worth of purchasing power.

The cowboy hurmorist said he asked
the Precedent If Congress would pass

bill for direct Federal relief. Mr.. Hoo
yer replied he didn't know. The Presi-
dent said no State government had yet
applied for aid or even conceded it could
not take care of its own situation.

GERMANY SUBMITS
ARMS U[T|MATUM|
Program Rejects Any Treaty
Which Does Not Accord
Equal Rights.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOwRER.

BY Cable to The Star.
PARIS. France, February 16.-Ger-
many delivered its expected ultimatun
to the World Disarmament Conference
here today. 1t will not accept any dis
armament treaty which, as Chancellor
Heinrich Bruening said in his radio
talk to the United States Sunday, does
not give Germany equal rights with the
other powers.
The military servitude imposed on
Germany by the treaty Of Versailles
must, according to the Germans. be
terminated.
New Elements introduced.
They, therefore, make q whole series
Of drastic proposals based ~ their own
limited ornaments under the treAss Of
Versailles, but introducing also new and
far-reaching elements:
Military forces shall be raised only by
voluntary enlistment, otherwise trained
reserves must be limited.
Limitation must take due account OF
militia.
The number Of officers also must be
strictly limited.
Police and similar forces must be
forbidden for military uses.
All stocks Of war materials must be
strictly limited and the surplus de-
stroyed.
Heavy artillery must be limited thus:
Mobile field pieces, none over 3-inch
caliber; mobile howitzers, none over A.
inch; fixed guns, 6-inch; howitzers,
8-inch; mortars, 6-inch.
Tanks Are Prescribed.
There shall be no tanks
No fortresses or outworks near from
tiers shall be allowed.
Coast defenses shall be permitted. ex-
cept on international water passes
where they shall be forbidden (this
would seemingly dismantle the Panama
Canal.
Warships over 10000 tons shall be
prohibited
There shall be no naval guns Of
over 10-inch caliber.
Submarines shall be abolished.
All military, naval and air forces, in
cluding airplane carriers, shall be
Military training of pilots shall be
forbidden.
No preparation Of planes or ships for
military purposes shall be allowed.
Air, gas and meteorological warfare
shall be forbidden.
All manufacture of arms and NUM-
tions shall be limited to a fixed num-
ber of government factories and all
import and export Of arms shall be
forbidden except To countries lacking
war industries.
International control over all arma-
mentS shall be established
On the other hand, Germany is not
interested in budgetary limitation. 1t
disagrees with the statement of Andre
Tarlieu, chief of the French delegation
to the disarmament gathering, that this
is not a new peace conference" Ger
many thinks 1t is a new peace confer
ence.
Finally, Germany is ready to con-
slider the French proposals for an army
under the League Of Nations and for
mutual aid among the nations provided
they are accompanied by real reduc-
tions.
