THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY. MAY 22, 1917. GERMAN YOKE LIES HEAVILY ON POLES Parliament Olub Passes Reao. lution of Lack of Confidence in the Present Austrian Government. Copenhagen (Via London), May 11. The discussions in Vienna between Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the im perial German chancellor and Count Czerniu, the ustro-Hungarian for eign minister, which were resumed last week at German headquarters and in which Count Czernin, the king of Bavaria, Emperor William, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, Dr. Alfred Zim mermann, the German foreign min ister and Dr. Karl HelfTerich, the Ger. man vice chancellor, are taking part, have to do. among other things, with the future of the kingdom of Poland, according to information received trota the German representatives in Warsaw to tne rolisn council of state. Boundaries Are Unsettled. It will be remembered that the Aus. tro-German rescript of November S, calling the kingdom of Poland into life, left the boundaries of the kingdom unsettled and did not name the future regent or king. The Polish council of state some time ago made representa tions to the Austro-German represent atives as to the necessity of immediate action on these two questions. General von Beseler, governor gen oral of the occupied territory in Rus sia, has informed the council that the Austro-German authorities in con. sulfation at Brand headouarters in Germany arc concerning themselves wan the turther carrying out of the rescript of November 5." The Austrian Poles have put forth a wide reaching program for the fu ture which will not fail to arouse the strongest protests in Prussia. The Polish club of the Austrian Parliament, which embraces the Pol ish members of the Eeichsrat, not only has passed a resolution of lack of confidence in the present Austrian government which disregarded Pol ish wishes regarding the future of Galicia and Polish representations in Parliament, but also a demand put forward as the united desire of the Polish nation for the re-establishment of an independent united Poland with access to the sea. r Oath as Cuban President Administered to Menocal Havana, May 21.

READY TO REGISTER TEN MILLION MEN Huge Task of Ascertaining Menl . oi uonscripiion Age in single Day Will Be Done Smoothly. Washington, May 21. Prepara tions to register 10,000,000 young men for military service on June 5 are proceeding swiftly throughout the country. Advices reaching the War department show that forty-two states have their machinery already organ ized, ready to proceed with the work. The reports mean that the central boards have been established in county and city for eacli 30,000 popu lation, tint blanks and forms1 have been distributed and that nation-wide machinery stands ready to take the milita'ry census in the shortest time ever allowed for such a huge under taking one fourteen-hour day.v General Ciowder's Plan. The plan was evolved by Brigadier General Crowdcr, provost marshal general as well as judge advocate gen eral of the army, and its efficiency rests upon its simplicity. The scheme is to co-ordinate the vast electoral machinery of every state under one central authority. At one step all lo cal conditions arc met in this way. No matter what peculiarity of election system any state may have, it will function perfectly in the national registration scheme, and function without readjustment. Supervised de centralization is what was aimed at and that has been accomplished ac cording to the reports that came pour ing in today. All doubts as to the wisdom of turning this task over to the states was dispelled by the nature of the governors' messages. Bread and Potato Riots - Break Out at Lisbon Lisbon (Via Paris), May 21. The scarcity of bread and potatoes has caused an outbreak of rioting here. Mobs attacked stores, but order was restored by the police. "Great White Plague" in Omaha; Victim Talks of Cause and Cure Kearney, Neb., May 20. To the Editor of The Bee: Your editorial article of May 14, discussing death rate from tuberculosis ;n the United States, ends as follows: "The figures for Omaha are not so encouraging as for the country at large, for while far below the average the local rate shows an increase in deaths from tuberculosis, having risen from an average of 94.4 for the 1911-15 period to 102.1 for 1916. This may be due to tire fact that the proper allowance for 'lie increase in Oma ha's population has not been made." Let us at least hope the reason given by you is right. But I am sure there are other visible .and proven causer, of the unfavorable conditions preva-ing in Omaha, and if you will permit a very much interested lay man to say a few words about them, I am confident you will do another good service .to the people of our metrop olis. Common people have been really overeducatcd on "T. B.," stuffed with literature not digestible for a layman; and this caused what Dr. E. O. Ottis, an eminent authority, calls 'consump tion terror." People fear consumption as badly as carcinoma or leprosy, and many of them won't be halt as scared if the doctor should say "syphilis" as they are when his diagnosis is "con sumption." And still 80 per cent of cases of incipient tuberculosis can be cured, or, rather, further progress of the disease arrested and victims turned out as useful members of so ciety, filially crossing the bar in some other boat than "T. B " Pneumonia and nowadays so stylish appendicitis are tenfold more dangerous than tuberculosis of the lungs. People are scared and doctors are following suit. Not all of them, but most of them, and there is one of the main roots of the whole evil. A physician will inform you calmly that you must have a knife stuck into your anatomy within twenty-four hours, but when it comes to pthisis, there he draws the line hesi tates. Some of them do not even care at all about "T. B.," as there is little money and slill less glory in it. I know perfectly well what I am writing about and am not afraid to tell the truth. I am myself a patient of the hospital for tuberculosis, hav ing the good luck of falling into the hands of a common village-country doctor who was conscientious enough to tell me the plain truth right off the reel. But whils here at the hospital I have full opportunity to see patients senttiown here from Omaha with the most advanced cases, many of them WHO IS THE "BRIDE O' MYSTERY?" r -iuswi isMinr" ' imfrni" ni ir" msMir" ici Mean aaajM riMff nn'i1 i i .-iSRfe.. cSew. jji wSRtte..

It generally runs like this: "I've been" doctoring for over a year, but those doctors never told me what was the matter with me until everybody could see "T. B." sticking ail over me at half a mile distance. I finally had to force my doctor into the admission that 1 had tuberculosis." Here is the main of all the causes. People are afraid to hear it and doc tors are reluctant to say it. Of course we have to admit that there are many other factors, like hardly noticeable and misleading first symptoms, etc., but they are not for me to discuss. Eradicate consumption terror from public mind, wake up the conscience of physicians so they will become only too anxious to tell patients th; truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, induce them to go to the "T. B." hospital as soon as pos sible and get well. No man needs to go "west for a cure. Change of climate may help in some cases, but does not cure. We have here in Ne braska our own state hospital, where the poorest can get the same treat ment as the richest, and treatment as good as you can find anywhere in the United Staffs. "T. B." hospital is not a purgatory (nor the place still below it), as most of the people ire inclined to imagine, but the most cheerful hospital I know of. What the municipality of Omaha is doing in this line I am not in posi tion to answer fully, but I know of one thing. The Visiting Nurses' as sociation sent a few months ago to our hospital one of its members, Mrs. Winifred McCoy, to study the care of consumption, and now that "big little woman" (as she was nicknamed here by us patients) is searching Omaha for cases of incipient (begin ning) tuberculosis, the only slate when the disease is curable. I heard one of the patients sent down here by Mrs. McCoy say: "Just think of it I I have been sick for a year and :he doctor did not tell me what's the matter with me. All that time I was endangering the lives of tny family and was a menace to the community. I wish that lady had found me a year ago." It is not only saving of the life of the unfortunate victim of Koch's bacilli, but what counts more, protec tion of others and prevention of spreading of the communicative mal ady. Why not have a city clinic fir brreulosis in Omaha, like other big cities have, with X-rays, microscopic examinations of sputum by an inde pendent physician, where everybody could find the "truth," free of charge.
