Adequate hospital facilities for the 85,000 residents of Ohio who are suf fering from tuberculosis has been de cided upon by the prevention of tuber culosis and officials of the state board of health. It is proposed to create 12 hospital districts of from four to six counties each, wherein campaigns will be inaugurated for the erection of dis trict tuberculosis hospitals to be main tained jointly by the co-operating counties. Through the erection of these 12 district hospitals, supplementing the present sanitaria, anti-tuberculosis workers believe that the 35,000 vic tims will be adequately cared for, and that the people of the state will be so well protected through this hospi talization that eventually Ohio’s death rate of 7,000 per year will be reduced materially.

Vienna, (via Paris), Sept. 21.—Com merce and industry are paralyzed throughout the dual monarchy. The stoppage of export has threatened the ruin of some of the largest industries, notably the refining of sugar, millions of pounds of which are sent annually to Great Britain, India and other points. Refiners are endeavoring to find some means of getting their pro ducts to England by direct route. In order to relieve the financial stress the government has decided to organ ize a war credit bank with a capital of $1,200,000 besides a number of loan in situtions, so that the various indus trial enterprises may be carried through the war. Numerous suggestions for the boy cotting of goods coming from hostile countries, notably England, have met with scanty support in the most in fluential commercial circles. The Prague chamber of commerce flatly refused to enforce such a proposal, say ing it would bo useless at the present moment besides being very dangerous to Austrian commercial interests later. Outside of Vienna and Budapest the whole country is lifeless. It is ap parently denuded of active men and presents a stiange and oppressive quiet. The great factories are closed. The streets of the small towns are deserted save for a few children here and there. There are scarcely any workers in the fields. Women are performing the heaviest tasks, even to loading of freight cars. The trains on most of the lines are running on restricted schedules and there are few passengers and there are solitary soldiers guarding the railway stations, bridges and tunnels. Troops are seen rarely, all having gone to tne front. Red Cross stations have been set up at the principal depots and stretchers are ready to receive wound ed. The well meant hospitality of the public in supplying traveling soldiers with delicacies has had an unfortunate effect on the peasant soldiers. Un accustomed to such fare they consume it greedily and become very ill as a consenuence. The Question of caring for the un employed is assuming serious propor tions, especially in Vienna and Buda pest. Many hundreds have been given work constructing fortifications along the Danube in the neighborhood of Vienna. Hundreds more have been sent from towns into the country to work in the fields. The Austrian peasants are showing great ingenuity in exploiting the state. They refuse to pay wages to workers from the city and feed them miserably, for which they claim $1 a day from the state for each worker. The government, however, declines to yield to such exorbitant demands. In Vienna funds are being raised privately to feed the unemployed, but the demands are fast becoming intol erable since, besides the unemployed, the city is crowded with Galician ref ugees. Apart from a certain seriousness exhibited among thinking people, life in Vienna pursues much the same course as before the war. Cafes are filled and some of the theaters are open. The imperial court opera and the court theater will be opened soon for performances four times a week, the actors having finally agreed to ac cept reduced salaries for a period of four months. Over half the state railway employes have been called into the army, and, as a consequence, the railway service has been greatly reduced. Nine hun dred new men have been engaged, but some time must elapse before they will be competent to run the cars. A large number of the police also have rejoined the army, but the city is perfectly orderly. So far there have been no demonstrations against the citizens of hostile countries and there is no longer an incentive for guarding the French and British embassies. Prices are not much above normal, although an advance which is reported in the wholesale prices of wheat, bar ley and rye must soon affect the cost of flour and bread. The price of pe troleum is considerably higher. Many refineries have closed and boring op erations have ceased. Exports of Ga lician oil to Germany have increased because American oil is no longer ar riving in the usual quantities. KAISER HAS PICTURE TAKEN “UNDER FIRE” Cinematograph Used By Ger mans To Immortalize Mem ories of War. Copenhagen, Sept. 19.—Germany is making -vigorous efforts in this coun try to gain favor toward her side of the war. One of her methods is by use of the cinematograph. Representatives of the German government have arrived here with a series of film pictures showing the German army on its best side. The pictures are said to have been taken under the kaiser’s personal super vision. They show the magnificence of the German marching and equipment. The kaiser himself is shown in a number of "close-up" views. One picture, labeled, "the kaiser under fire,” shows him looking through field glasses, presumably at a distant battle. Another shows his "war quarters at the front,” of a series of asbestos "huts” very comfortably furnished. The films are to be supplied to mov ing picture theaters in Denmark, Nor way, Sweden and other neutral coun tries at a very low price. There was also a free distribution of pamphlets in this city, written in ex cellent Danish, telling of the splendid financial condition of Germany and declaring she was forced into the war. The pamphlets deny reports of British, French and Russian victories. ARREST BANKERS. San Francisco, Sopt. 19.—By order of the United States district court. E. E. Lewis and his son, George Lewis, former president and cashier respec tively of the Bank of Commerce, of Coweta, Okla., will return there under the care of a United States deputy marshal to face a charge of embezzle ment. The two were arrested here last night. 4 4 4 KAISER NOT DOWN AND 4 4 OUT, SAYS CLEMENCEAU 4 4 4! 4 Bordeaux, Sept. 19.—In an in- 4 4 terview here, Georges Clemen- 4 4 ceau, famous French statesman 4 4 and author, says: 4 4 “It would be madness to 4 4 imagine that Germany is down 4 4 and out.

Washington, D. C„ Sept 21.—'The In terstate Commerce commission today decided to reopen the eastern advance rate case and will begin hearings here on October 19. A formal order to that effect was prepared. The decision of the commission comes upon the recent application of the railroads which was made after Presi dent Wilson had received a representa tive committee of railroad presidents at the White House. How far that con ference may have gone toward pre paring the way for a reopening of the case is not known. It was said at the time that the railroad men asked the president to appeal to the country to treat the railroads in a spirit of co operation and the president responded by sending a sympathetic letter to Chairman Frank Trumbull, of the Chesapeake & Ohio. The railroads also asked the com mission to modify its recent decision, which granted Increases west of Pitts burgh and denied all increases between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic sea board. Under the law the commission cannot modify that order without hearings: the decision to reopen the case brings the whole question up again for review in which the railroads will press for the five per cent increases throughout the territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. Western railroads already are pre paring applications for increases in freight rates, so that when the com mission begins the rehearing it will have substantially before it applica tions for increased freight rates from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The eastern railroads asked for a reopening, not upon the showing they made at the hearings prior to the de cision, but upon conditions which the managers say have become apparent since. The showing of the roads for June which was not available when the case was before the commission last time and the exigencies which have been thrust upon them by the European war, with the attendant difficulties of getting new capital and the falling off in ex port traffic, were cited as the princi pal reasons why the case should be reopened. Shippers’ organizations, which fought the increases previously, have given notice that they will oppose further ad vances on the rehearing. They will be represented by counsel and will have opportunity to oppose new increases as they did before. The Increases the railroads ask are identical with those which were denied. Although described as 5 per cent ad vances, the commission's recent deci sion declared some of them ranged as high as 35 per cent. The principal heavy commodities west of Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Charleston, such as coal and coke, which constitutes more than half of the total traffic of the rail roads, will be affected. All classes and commodity rates east, for which the commission denied in creases entirely, will be affected by the new case. The formal order of the commission follows: Upon consideration of a petition by re spondents for modification of orders here tofore entered in the above entitled cases, and good rause appearing therefor: It is ordered that further hearings In said oases be, and are hereby granted; said hearings to be limited to presenta tion of facts disclosed and occurrences originating subsequently to the date upon which tlio records previously made In these cases were closed. It is further ordered that pending such rehearing and further order of the com mission In the above entitled cases, the commission’s report, findings and orders heretofore entered therein shall remain In full force and effect. It ts further ordered that this proceed ing be assigned for hearing at the office of the commission in Washington, D. C.. on the 19th of October, 1914, at 10 o'clock a. m. It is further ordered that a copy of this order be served upon each of the parties to the above entitled cases. U.S. SENDS SINEWS OF WAR TO CANADA Colt Gun Works is Supplying Arms And Ammunition To England. Toronto, Sept. 19.—That supplies of quick-firing guns, machine guns and ammunition for the Canadian artillery are coming from the United States is generally understood in well-informed circles. Sixteen heavily armored mo tor cars, equipped with machine guns, contributed by Clifford Kifton, former minister of (he interior, who is well known in New York as an exhibitor at the horse shows, can only be de scribed as purely United States equip ment. The Uritish war office is urging tho rapid movement to the continent of all the artillery from Canada, although it is understood that some of the Cana dian expeditionary force’s artillery, es pecially the quick-firers, have already been shipped direct to England from the Colt works in Hartford. I IIL JIULM I LIMLJ UP Will FOES OF Filbuster On Waterway Measure Continues Despite Desperate Efforts of Opposition— Burton Holds Floor. NIGHT MEETS DAY; NO REST Parliamentary Sharpers Snipe At Speakers But Burton And Kenyon Talk On—Scour City For Quorum. Washington, D. C„ Sept. 21.—The day and night fight on the river and harbor bill In the Senate showed signs of a break today, with victory for the filibustering re publicans, when It became known that President Wilson favored abandoning the bill and substitut ing a new resolution to appropriate $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 to continue only those projects under way. The original bill proposed $93,000,000. Officials said the president be lieved the bill should be aban doned in its present form, because government revenues, already fall ing because of the European war, must be supplemented by a war tax. The economy measure will ex tend all along the line, even in creases In salaries to officials will be abandoned. Washington, Sept. 21.—Though a dreary, continuous session, the Senate today dragged its weary way In an effort to break the stubborn filibuster against the river and harbor bill con ducted by Senators Burton and Ken yon and other opponents of the measure. It was a red-eyed, bedraggled Sen ate that sat in solemn silence listen ing to interminable criticisms of the measure today. For the Senate was suffering from the effects of an all night session. Democratic leaders of the Senate, ably supported in point of numbers, had brought to bear every parliamentary check they could find in an effort to break the continuous flow of river and harbor information im parted by Senator Burton. Matching parliamentary strategy for strategy, Senator Burton, however, held the floor and spoke sometimes to an al most empty chamber, and whenever he could to a full attendance brought by a carefully engineered demand for a quorum. Lewis Captured. several times a roll call failed to bring enough senators to do business and a squad of deputy sergeants at arms, bearing writs of arrest, started out in taxicabs to bring in the absent members. Senator Lewis, the demo cratic whip, was the first brought in. He was hurried from his bed at the Army and Navy club by a deputy, aft er the latter had threatened club at tendants with arrest because of their alleged refusal to permit the senator to be disturbed. Senator Smith, of Maryland, was located at a theater by the sergeant at arms and hurried to the chamber. Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, reported to the Senate some time after a quorum had been reached and after being informed he would be arrested and promised the sergeant at arms to hurry to the Sen ate in order to avoid being brought in by the arm. Senator Burton took the floor short ly before 6 o’clock last night, after the democrats had determined on a con tinuous session. Despite all efforts to dislodge him, he continued to talk and shortly after midnight the lack of a quorum caused the ordering of writs of arrest. He had an hour and a half of rest while the majority of the Sen ate was herded into the chamber, and then resumed, his voice a trifle husky, but still strong. Senators Recline. The huskiness soon wore off and at 3 o’clock Senator Burton, who, during his resting spell had discarded his frock coat for an alpaca house Jacket and had donned bed room slippers, was plodding up and down, pointer in hands before a scries "of charts which he had placed on the wall of the Senate chamber. Half a dozen senators formed the audience then and one of them, Sen ator Vardaman, was stretched out on a couch in the rear of the chamber. The cloak rooms and nearby com mittee rooms were filled with slum bering senators waiting the summons of the quorum bell. In the interval, while they waited for the sergeant at arms to gather in a quorum the cham ber was almost deserted. Half a dozen senators gathered about Senator Rob inson, of Arkansas who told funny stor ies. Senator Ashhurst who then oc cupied the chair was forced to call Senator Williams of Missouri, to or der for whistling “How Dry I Am” in the chamber. GERMANS TO PROTECT BELGIAN ART OBJECTS Appoint Commissioner To Pre vent Burglary And Pillage In Cities. Berlin, Sept. 19.—The German gov ernor of Belgium, General Von Her Goltz, has appointed Privy Counsellor I)r. Von Faleke, to decide on ways and means to protect the Belgium treas ures of art against burglury nnd pil lage. Dr. Von Faleke is now making a tour of Louvain, Namur, Huy, Nivolles, and Liege, accompanied by a Belgian art expert, named Orletil, and will take whatever steps to this end may be ncessary. It is announced here that three aero planes are again over Paris. The British naval commission has left Constantinople. The Russian general, Partos. who or dered the shooting of all the male In habitants and the burning of all vil lages in J3ast Prussia, has been tried by a German court martial. The excess Of births over deaths in France during 1913 was only 10 per 10,000 inhabitants as against 127 for Germany, 142 for Italy, 105 for Lngland and 130 for Hungary. FRENCH AND ENGLISH SAY BADLY BATTERED DIVISION UNDER GENERAL VON KLUCK IS SLOWLY GIVING GROUND Although Germans Claim To Ha ve Gained Advantages At Some Points And French At Others, London Declares Oft Re peated Reports of Success of Enveloping Movement of Brit ish on Extreme Left Are Founded on Truth And That They Mark Beginning of End of Bloody Battle of Aisne. KAISER'S FORGES ARE STRONGLY INTRENCHED . Reinforcements Also Have Arrived From Lorraine And Belgium —Both Armies Are Badly Exhausted—Believed Allied Ar mies Will Make Final Superhuman Effort to Storm; Emeny’s Trenches With Infantry—All Accounts Confirm' Unprecedented Losses In Killed And Wounded. 1 London, Sept. 20.—If reliance can be placed on the British ant French assertions that the right wing of the German armies whicl stretch across northeastern France is slowly falling back, then th< battle of the Aisne seems likely to follow the course of the battle oi the Marne, for there it was the German right which first fell back across the river. Along the 150-mile front, the rear of which is scarred with graves of thousands already killed, two armies, comprising millions of men, rapidly approaching exhaustion and standing in trenches deep with water, await an opportunity to drive a wedge through the opposing line and thus end the terrible strain which must last as long as Emperor William’s troops hold their now strongly en trenched positions, and as long as the allied forces can face the mur derous hail of projectiles from the hidden batteries of their op-> ponents. Both the British and the French realize that it will take almost a superhuman effort to win, the strength of the German position) being emphasized in almost every dispatch from the front. tnose in nonaon cioseiy xunumue i™ war base their chief hope of the allies In a possible envelopment of the Ger man right wing under General Von Kluck, who heretofore has shown him self a master of strategy. Renewed ac tivity on the part of the vllled cavalry and a significant movement of allied troops to tho north and west of the German line of communication together with a possible advance of fresh allied troops from the northwest through Amiens, gives expression of theso hopes. Eye witnesses and surgeons testify to a paradox on the modern battlefield —tho recurring frequency of hand to hand fighting, which so many military men predicted was a thing of the past. Bayonet wounds and other cumulative evidence, however, show that the sold iers have been engaged in a death grip, during which they resorted to their side arms and in some cases to their hands. Another fact which stands out amidst the varied accounts of the hostilities Is the utter prodigality with which the Germans throw forward man after man In close formation in an attempt to carry a position. The tremendous losses they have sustained seem not to have changed these tactics. - I Dispatches received from Paris latej last night, referring to a lull in the| struggle, are taken here to refer to tho\ artillery only, and today may see the most sanguinary Infantry fighting slnca the start of the battle of the Aisne one week ago. Burial of the dead on the battle field goes on steadily. German prisoners are being forced to perform this task be-i hind the allies 'line, where thousands of their comrades lay Jvfter the French, and British advance. A report from German army head quarters made public in Berlin today, announces German and Austrian suc cesses In all theaters of the war. In' France It is declared a decisive at-j tack is being made north of Noyon. Beaumont has been stormed and 2,500 French have been captured; while) counter attacks of the allies along the, entire front have been repulsed easily. Unofficial advices from the Gcrmanl capital say that members of the gen eral staff manifest implicit confidence1 In a favorable outcome of the fighting! In France. Their armies are being re inforced and their lines of communlcar»: tion reformed, it Is stated. Official Statements Given Out by Both Sides Claim Advantage Berlin. Sept. 21 (By wireless to Say vllle L. I.)—The following official statement from the German headquart ers was issued today: ‘‘It is reported that a decisive at tack is being made by the Thirteenth and Fourth army corps and parts of other German divisions south of Noyon. with loss. “Beaumont has been stormed and 2, 500 French prisoners captured. "Attacks along the entire battle front are being easily repulsed.” “Many guns and prisoners have been captured, though the number is not yet available. “The invasion of the Alpine riflemen over the Vosges into the Breisach val ley is repulsed.” Paris, Sept. 19.—The official state ment given out In Paris this after noon says the French have advanced on the right bank of the Oise; that the Germans are bringing reinforcements from Lorraine to the River Aisne; that the enemy is holding firm on the cen ter, and that the army of the German crown prince continues to retreat. The text of the statement is as follows: "First on our left wing, on the right bank of the River Oise, in the direc tion of Noyon, we have advanced. We hold all the heights of the right bank of the Aisne, opposite an enemy who seems to be reinforcing himself by the bringing of troops from Lorraine. “Second, on the center, the Germans have not moved from the deep trenches constructed by them. On our right we occupy Menarqueglise Charlepont and Outz. on the heights to the north of the River Aisne. We have advanced slightly in a few places. The attacks attempted by the Germans against the English artillery have been checked at Troyon between Solssons and CraonneJ From Craonne to Rhelms we have rej pulsed the counter attack execute*! during the night. The enemy tried bun has not succeeded In taking the offens-j lve against Rhelms. “At the center from Rhelms to thej Argonne mountains, the enemy Is re-. Inforcing Its situation by Important} fortifications and taking an attitude! merely defensive. On the east of thej Argonne and in the Woevre valley, the situation is unchanged. “At the right in Lorraine and Vosgeq the Germans occupy positions defens ively organized close to the frontier. Washington, Sept. 19.—An official Bordeaux dispatch to the French em bassy today says: “The battle continues on the whole front from the River Oise to the River Woevre during the ISth, without any important change In the situation at any point. “At the left in the battle of the Oise, wing the army of the German crown prince continues its movement of re treat. Our advance in I.,orraine Is reg ular. “Summing up, the two opposing armies, strongly entrenched, are de-t llverlng partial attacks along the en-! tire front without it being possible tq record any decisive result for one side or the other." London, Sept. 19.—The official infor mation bureau today gave out the fol lowing statement regarding the situa tion in France: “The situation remains unchanged. A counter attack against the first divi sion, delivered during the night, was driven back. "The weather is bad and it is raining continuously.” Exhausted Armies Will Make Final Supreme Effort To Win London, Sept. 21.—The battle of the Aisne, now in its sixth day, and begin ning as a rear guard action has de veloped into the supreme conflict of the French campaign. The latest official news sets forth that there has been a lull in the titan tic nrtillery duel. This is taken to in dicate that today’s struggle may be marked by a tremendous advance of infantry, such as made the battle field of the Marne a scene of indescribable horror and desolation. The news from Berlin concerning the positioin of the German forces has a more confident ling. The admission lias been made that the German army was short of ammunition, but this shortage has been rectified and sup plies and reinforcements are being sent forward without trouble. A French officer, who has Just re turned from tiie battle front is author ity for the statement that the strain on both side of the line in France, promises soon to get beyond human endurance. He likens the antagonists to two exhausted pugilists and says that soon they will be unable to inflict further punishment on each other. If this situation develops the only pos sible way for the allies to prevent a weary and disheartening winter cam paign, it is argued here, would be a successful assault on the German com munications. Such an assault, it is admitted by the allies, will not bo an easy matter. The Belgian army is harrying the invader, probably prevents the despatch of any great part of the Germany army now occupying Belgium to reinforce their countrymen in France but the Belgium forces are not strong enough seriously to interfere with communications, while the allies must break through some part of the line or turn the German right before they can effectively threaten the communi cation of the invader. TAKE AUSTRIAN SHIP. London, Sept. 19.—The Star has published a dispatch from Rome say ing that warships cruising in the, Adriatic have captured an Austrian steamer flying the Greek flag loaded, with arms and ammunition destined; i for Albania.
