Tuberculosis antagonists last week at last had something to say more audible than the claims of the cancer, heart disease, pneumonia and even leprosy people.

Timely support of Kolchak, brave but bewildered Czech general, would have given effective substance to the ghost war, "... a war in areas so vast that considerable armies, armies indeed of hundreds of thousands of men, were lost - dispersed, melted, evaporated; a war in which there were no real battles, only raids...
