Representations on this matter may soon be made to the United States, which is said to have been informally advised of the situation. Steamers from New York and New Orleans are reported to have been tak ing coal and provisions to Mole St. Nicholas for the Kalrsruhe for several weeks. Inquiries made of the Haytian government by the British minister resulted only in gaining an admission that the Karlsruhe migh be near Mole St. Nicholas, but that nothing definite was known because of the disturbed conditions in Hayti.

"When I recall,' said Townsend, "that Kuhn, Loeb and company are interested in this shipping bill I am surprised at the charge made here that senators on this side are influenced by the shipping trust.

Absence of Full Moon for Month Rare Occurrence

February has no full moon, a condition which has not existed since 1866 according to Stephen Kuth. "Probably many persons have noticed , that the month' of January claimed two full moons, the moon being at the full on Jan. 1, and again on Jan. 30," said Mr. Kuth. "What few have noticed is that February has no full moon at all, while March, like January, . has two full moons. A month without a full moon is very rare, for it has not occurred since 1866, just forty-nine years ago. "It is worth noting that in 1866 astronomers declared that such a thing had not happened since the creation of the world and would not happen again for a million years. February 1915, howrever, brings the same conditions."

The cargo of the United States steamer Wilhelmina became a subject of parliamen tary discussion in the house of commons this afternoon. The government was interpellated as to its purposes in connection with the food supplies that the Wilhelmina carries . and asked whether it intended to seize the cargo of the vessel, which is now in, Falmouth. In response, Under Secretary of Foreign affairs Primrose said: "An inquiry into the nature of the cargo of the Wilhelmina is now going one." There was considerable mystery attached to the Wilhelmina's case hero this afternoon. Up to 2 o'clock the United States embassy had received no official news of the vessel's arrival in Falmouth.

When Representative Feick and I lager! y were on the verge of a personal encounter, a hasty adjournment of the house was voted today, and Representative Feick's bill forbidding railway conductors to accept telephone train orders was ended by an indefinite postponement of the bill. Representative Ilagerty declared Feick had been "grandstanding" throughout the 1913 session and that there was no more sincerity in his breast "than in a dead soul." Each representative suggested that the other was showing no regard for truth, when Representative Eschbach caused the adjournment. Senator Grube today paved the way for Indiana humorists when he introduced a bill in the senate requiring all lodging house, rooming house and hotel owners to supply every bed with under sheets and top sheets not less than ninety-nine by eighty-one inches, and compelling the, . changes of the sheets with , the departure of each guest. The bill is said to have the backing of .the health authorities of the state. Senator Grube also introduced a bill for the consolidation of the jobs of state librarian and the legislative librarian after April 1, 1915. Senator Harmon offered a. measure to give draymen a lien on property they handle if the drayage charges are not paid.

One of ever ten people who die in Wayne county is' a victim of tuberculosis. This statement has been made before but it loses none of its impressiveness by repitition. It is also a well know fa?t Wayne county is at present poorly prepared to combat this scourge which levies such heavy toll from its citizenship. It is equally well known that there is no necessity for such an abnormal death rate due to this cne disease, for in communities where intelligent and systematic efforts have been put forth to check its spread and save its victims in the first stages results have been very satisfactory. County Sees Danger. Fortunately, however, Wayne county people have at last been interested toj make some comprehensive effort to j protect themselves from tuberculosis, j They are ready and willing now to j launch a campaign against their great-j est enemy; just how to proceed in this j fight remains to bo decided.

parently favors the establishment of a county tuberculosis hospital, and the board of county commissioners is now giving this project serious , consideration. . It is doubtful, however, if the initial step In launching an anti-tuberculosis campaign should be the establishment of a hospital for victims of the disease. Upon this point the majority of authorities on the cure and prevention of tuberculosis seem to agree. Home Treatment" Best. Home treatment, both to effect cures for victims and to prerent the spread of the disease, these authorities agree, is the ideal method to inaugurate war against the plague. The effectiveness of the county hospital plan is limited, they say, calling attention to the fact that under this system only people actually afflicted with the disease are cared for. to the neglect of the very important work of prevention. They also lay stress upon the fact that the average tuberculosis patient is reluctant to leave his home and the communities are few and far between where tubercular patients can be compelled to isolate themselves in county hospitals.
