; .Pafmrasc oF American Rep.y Made Pubic by Bryan. ry Bryan last night made public e text of the note from Germany agmuiling t(he cxequatur or cortifi- tes of authority of neutral consuls . ‘im Belgium and issued a paraph ‘the American government's reply. The text of the stafe department's ‘_fii@menl follows: £, “The department reccived by mail } - the following cothmunication dated yember 30, 1914, from the Ger-’ foreign office: Consider Excquaturs Void. ow that the German army has q‘:’cluwlml various portions of enemy untries the German government %\slde the exequaturs of th& con- ls, formerly permitted to act in such district, to have expired. 2 ‘The imperial government would, h8wever, be disposed to consider f(a- vorably any wishes of allied and neu- ‘tral countries respecting the estab- lishment of consular officers in the districts in question, excepting, of “vcourse, those districts where the mil- titary operations are 1l in, course. f 4 'In Belgium, consular activities in lhé provinces of HKa and West ’ Flanders would accordingly not be permitted at present. With regard %+ 4d the other parts of Belgium, con- sular officers would bLe permitted to act for the present’in Brussels, Ant- Wwerp and Liege, but not at other Points. “‘The imperial government would not consider the issuance of formal exequaturs advisable; to consular of- ficers whose names are communicat- ,ed to the foreign office would simply be granted temporary recognition to enable them to act in their official capacity under reserve of the usual investigations respecting their rec- ords. > ‘“‘In view of the peculiar circum- “stances contingent on military occu- pation, the imperial government . {twould be grateful if only such per- sons should be nominated as are as- suredly friendly to Germany or have at least neutral convictions. Consul Diederich Recognized. “‘In bringing the above to the at- tention of the embassy, the foreign office has the honor respectfully to request that the American govern- -ment may be notified in the ahove sense, As the embassy is aware, the erman government has already rec- ognized Consul General Diederich at Aumerp. assuming this to be the wish of the American government.’ “To this memorandum the depart- ment replied on January 21, 1915, as follows: **This government has considered * the note verbale of the German gov- ,_ ernment dated November 30. Since consular officers are commercial and not political agents of a government and permission for them to act with- in certain districts depends upon the authority which is in control of those districts, without regard to the ques- tion of legal right, and further, “since the fact that the.consular dis- tricts referred to in the memoran- dum of the German government are “ within territory occupied by the Ger- man military forces, this government is not disposed at this time to raise the question of right of the German government to suspend the exequat- urs of United States consular officers JWwithin the districts occupied and ‘sub]mt to military jurisdiction. Same Consuls to Continue. ““This government takes note that nll the districts in Belgium occupied by the German army cxcepting Brus- sels, Liege and Antwerp. are consid- ered by the German government to be within the sphere of military op- erations, and that in those districts “other than he ones named, the Ger- man government will not permit con- sular officers to perform their duties. “ *“‘In the circumstances this gov- " ernment assumes that the German overnment will not object to Unitea tates consular officers now stationed ¥, at Brussels, Liege, Antwerp and oth- e er places, similarly situated, exercis- Ing their functions and that if the authorities in control of those cities have objection on personal grounds to any of such officers acting, this ,government will be notitied forthwith of such objection.'

Jan. 26.—The ro-f markable character of the statc's campaign :lg_(\insl the *“white plage | is outlined in the report made by the | tuberculosis commission to Governor Holcomb Yesterday. This is the fourth | general assembly the report says that | has been asked to appropriate money | for the purpose of contraling® ‘and sradicating tuberculosis, the dis- uses more phy and social misery and greater financial loss to the people of the state ‘than can be charged to any other evil thing. “The commission says the 1 three general assemblies showed.their wish to do everything possible to pro- tect Connecticut against this ravaging monster. Practical Results. The results are, in brief; four san- atoria with a capacity of 600 bec an approximate annual mainten: of a quarter of a million dollars; a campaign which compares favorably with that carried on anywhere in the world; relief afforded by the san- atoria to individuals and families and societies and communitiés has been so great that a return to tho condition of the presanatorium era is inconceivable; and it is easily shown that for all the large sums of money expended, the state has already becn repaid by the monetary value to her of the labor of the patien in whom the disea has been arrested, and by the earnings and savings of the friends of patients which, but for ithe sanatoria, would have been directed to the unproductive work of caring for the sick at home. Outline Future Work. The commission devotes attention to future work, or, as the report puts it, “Questions of Strategy."” The esti- mate is that there are from 10,000 to 16,000 cases of consumption in the : state. To maintain these would cost the state four millions a vear. The | present campaign does not attempt to provide care for every case. Denmark claims the most generous sanatoriur provisions, and Connecticut's 800‘ beds brings her close to that coun- try, and in the lead of most states on this hemisphere. The whole matter of public control of the disease is so new that many problems are yet to be solved, and most of the leading communities have attacked them in differing ways. . “Institutionalized.” The report treatment. discussé¥y sunatoria several yars “They are never very sick; the 'disease remains' stationary.
