Thousands of these points had already been used in the national army, but so far no tetanus cases have been reported. Of the others, ten tetanus cases came to the attention of the company which immediately recalled the points. Investigation haa been begun by the department of Justice.

The comparative strength of the allies and the central powers is graphically shown by "The Bulunce Sheet of the Nation at War," which has Just been compiled by the Bankers Trust company. The world has a great task still before it In order to nullify the plans of the llohenzollerns." says the Introduction. "The task must not be belittled, but It Is at least Interesting to see resources existing successfully to accomplish this task, provided that the nations of the world now opposed to Germany continue to intelligently and loyally until Germany and her allies have been absolutely their plans of world dominion rendered permanently Ineffective." Figures showing, for both sides, the combined area, income and Interest charge, and cost of the war In treasure and men, are presented with the explanation that they huve been gathered with great care from the "best available sources" and are believed to reflect with substantial correctness the relative economic strength of the opposing groups of nations, although It Is Impossible to vouch for their absolute accuracy. Controlled by Allies The allies, Including the United States, are shown, by this tabulation, to control 19,1520,000 square miles of the earth's surface, or 94.1 per cent of the total area held by the nations at war, as compared with 1,222.000 square miles, or only 6.9 per cent held by the Teutonic combination. The aggregate population of the allies, exclusive of the Inrge Asiatic population tributary to the British empire, reaches the huge total of 473,250,000,' or 7&3 per cent of the total of warring peoples, while that of the central powers Is but 147,000,000, or 23.7 per cent.
