spanish War sidelights

Rome, Jan. 5-(UP)-Italy and Germany, in notes to France and Great Britain, will refuse in effect to stop sending volunteers" to fight in Spain until all forms of inter- vention in the civil war, direct and indirect, have ceased, 1t was under stood today.
 Both notes are in reply to French British representations seeking to end the dispatch of Italian and Ger man volunteers" to aid the na- tionalists.
 Italy's reply was described au- thoritatively as qualifiedly favorable, cordial and sympathetic but tem- pered with realistic observations.
 These observations, however, were understood to be tantamount to reservations by which Italy-and Germany, in her almost identical note-would refuse to stop sending men to Spain before establishment of rigid control system to abolish all forms of assistance to the war ring factions.
 To Aid Loyalists
 Paris, Jan. 5-(UP)-Delegates of Paris building workers voted today to send attachments of volunteers to Spain to aid the loyalists and de- manded that the government remove it's embargo on war materials for Spain.
 Newspapers began to take anxious interest in German troops activities on the nationalist side.
 The two chief newspaper political experts, Pertinax of Echo de Paris and Genevieve Tabouis of Oeuvre, reported extensive German army &C., tivity on the Swiss frontier and said that barracks had been prepared in the Lake Constance area for 30,000 men as opposed to 5000 in 1914. They reported also construction of an underground airport. These re- ports revived theories that in an- other war Germany might attack France through Switzerland.
 Britain Assured
 London, Jan. 5-(UP)-The ad- miralty received today communi- cation from Spanish nationalist naval authorities, assuring Great Britain that nationalist warships would keep hands off British vessels in the Straits of Gibraltar.
 The communication was a reply to vigorous protest made by British destroyer commandant yesterday against an attack by nationalist warships on the British steamship Etrib.
 Nationalist authorities at Cadiz, the admiralty said, handed the com- mander of the destroyer--the Graf ton--an acknowledgement of his protest and showed him orders given to nationalist patrolling warships. These orders, in the view of the Grafton's commander, afforded sat- isfaction regarding the nationalist attitude toward British shipping, the admiralty said.

Although declining to take a

submitted a report to the House

The commissioners said that

"The legislation would be a

MEDICINE MAN A PEST

Among certain Indian tribes the ira
ditional medicine man not only fails to do
his patients any good, but makes it diff
cult for white physicians to treat them
satisfactorily, according to the director of
public health nur sng among Wisconsin
tribes
Reports from nurses on duty among
the Indians of that state indicate that the
tribal medicine men still hold a super
stitious power over their people and are
jealous of the white mans methods. AS a
result the white doctors and nurses are
not called in many casen until after the
medicine man has done his worst. Under
such circumstances the white doctor is at
serious disadvantage and the patient
often dies through lack of proper early
treatment.
When this happens the native medi-
cine man points to the white physician s
failure as proof of his own superiority.
And it is sometimes difficult, if not impos-
sible, to convince the redskins that their
medicine man is wrong. In fact, it is not
best to criticize him much, as that would
stir up racial feeling and make matters
worse.
The policy of the white doctors and
nurses i, to try to gradually win the In
dians over from superstition to scientific
measures, and in this steady progress is
being made. But the native medicine man
is still pest to be reckoned with, and a
long campaign of education will be re-
quired to destroy his Influence among the
more backward members of the tribes -
