WHITE PLAGUE IS SPREADING Total of 150,000 Deaths in the United States Last Year, Reports Show New York, Oct 17.—A recent health survey made by the National Tuberculosis Association shows the white plague menace in the United States to have assumed unsuspected proportions. Last year there were 150,000 deaths due to this disease. A conservative estimate places the number of tuberculous people in the United States at 1,000,000. To meet this emergency the Na tional Tuberculosis Association and Its 1,000 affiliated organizations have launched an intensive educational campaign. The campaign calls for greatly Increased expenditures and to meet these the state quotas have been Increased proportionately. More than $6,500,000 are needed during the coming year to finance this intensive effort to stamp out the plague. To raise this fund, more that 650,000,000 Red Choss Christ mas Seals will be offered for sale beginning December 1. A member of the Richmond, Va. Anti-Tuberculosis Association has suggested that the war-time organiz ations of women could be utilized as auxiliaries or aids to the anti tuberculosis associations and so cieties throughout the country.

Church Will Give Picture Shows in New World Drive New Yorlt, Oct. 17.—Stereopticon display circuits, rivaling in their scope the circuits of big motion picture producers, are being organ ized by the publicity department of the New World Movement to show to all members of the United Pres byterian Church the extent of their home and foreign mission work. Every church in the country will be placed on the schedule and a series of 10 or more displays will be started across the country. In each displaye there will be enough scenes, most of them illustrated in color, to provide a whole evening's travelog. The pictures will be reinforced in their educational appeal by speeches, but the speeches will consist merely of brief explanation, the object of the campaign being to quickly give a view to church members of the mission fields at home and in Egypt, India and the Sudan. Author Found 111 and Poor in Workhouse London, Oct 17. Ernest Vize telly, who made the name of Emlle Zola known, in England through his comprehensive translation of that French author's works, and who for many years occupied a high position in the London literary world, was to day an inmate of the sick ward in a North London workhouse. Dis covery of his impoverished condi tion immediately set on foot a move ment to have his trouble taken be fore the Prime Minister in the hope that his name will be placed on the pension list. For seven years Vizetelly, who is now 66 years old, has been lodging in Canonbury where he was engaged last winter in writing his latest book, "Paris and Her People." He became ill, and fell behind.

Asks Veto of the Prohibition Bill New York, Oct 17.—The National Civil Service Reform League an nounced to-day that it had asked the President to veto the war prohibition bill, which provides regulations for the enforcement of the Constitutional amendment. The secretary of the league, George T. Keyes, made it clear that the ad vocates of the merit system were cen tering their attack on that part of the bill which specifically exempts from the operation of the civil ser vice law and rules "persons author ized to issue permits, and agents and inspectors in the field service." As the bill carries an appropriation of $3,500,000, hundreds and probably thousands of places, it was said, are consigned to the patronage system. Clearing the Letter Dumps in France Paris, Oct. 17.

Bars Whist and Dance Money From Church Fund London, Oct. 17. The bishop of Chelmsford has barred money from "whist drives and dances" from a fund of $1,250,000 which the people of Essex are trying to col lect for church extension.
