Mr Chairman and Gentlcmen,~
I feel that it would bc eminently
out of place for me to address you to- night without giving hrst place to a few remarks In recognition of the public service rendered to the people of Prince Edward island by one of her foremost citizens, the Holi. Chas. l)alton, through his gift to them of thc sanatorlum \vhlch is to boar his name. -
lt is a lille thing to be able to make
such o substantial outlay as Mr Dalton has done, but it is a much finer thing hy far to be possessed of a spirit oi’ devotion to lofty ideals of public service prompting such an expendi- ture. ` _
No community can have too many
such public-spirited citizens, and I take this opportllnlty to congratulate the people of Prince Edward island upon having in their midst one who possesses, not only this devotion to, and interest in, the common weai. but the means. which he has so generously given toward the fulfilment of his plan, as well.

theme upon which to address the Medical Society to-night. it seemed to me that it might not he amlss to con- sider the sanatorium in its relation to the campaign against tuberculosis here on the Island, ami at the same

time to consider some of the problems that may arise from time to time. with
suggestions for their solution.
in view of the fact that the sans-
rforlum has not yet opened its doors for the reception of patients, I feel that several important aspects of the theme may be discussed with the utmost candour and frankness, with- out any fear whatever of giving
offense. I
By a proper and timely considera-
tion of some ot’ the problems involved, the way should be paved so as to ,make future progress easier for all. . No local precedents have been estab- lished andthere are likewise no tradi- tions, good or bad, that must be lived up to, or lived down. We have a clean hill of health and it behooves us to establish no precedents or traditions _unworthy of the object for which the
‘ sanatorinm was given.
ln general the object of a sanatorium
such as the one here is threefoldz-
Flrat.--The care. education and
treatment of o limited number of
early cases.
Second.-The segregation. care and
treatment of a yet more liluited num-
ber of advanced cases.
Third.-The education of the com-
munity nt large as to the nature, pre- ventability ami curabllily of tuber- culosis. principally through the med- ium oi' discharged patients.
lt has been pretty clearly demon-
strated that n very large percentage of early or incipient cases of tuber- culosis may, under tha modern salla- torium regime, regain their health and return io their homes und communi- ties rcstorcd to their normal wage- oarning capacities.
The clmnccs for such ll result de-
crease puri pnssu with each stake of advnncelnent of thc disease, until they ure prl.tctVically nonexistent in thc fur- advauced stages.
Not only arc thc opportunities for
cure greater thc carlior the diagnosis is matic and thc proper treatment instituted. but thc time necessary for the accomplishment of such a cure is shorter. in direct proportion to the incipiency. 'l\`nii,` not only :irc the chances
greater and thc time i`or urrest. or cure lossonod, bllt the expectation of lifo is proportional(-ly prolonged and the years of productivity incroascll.
'Such facts as those furnish good ami
sufllcient reasons wily ovcry effort should llc made to makc early diag- nosis and lo institute thc proper treat- ment uf. tho cnrliost possible momont. Iiuys and wocks In fnilurc to establish early diagnosis, clip months and yours froln thc llvcs of the patients.
lt' all ol' our cases here could be
diagnosed in their incipiency and we had sufllcient sunatorlum accommoda- tion for all. the problem would be much simplified. As it is wc shall have not more than sixteen bcds for this class oi' patients.
Even granting the possibility tllat
the sanatorinnl shall be able to con- tinually reserve this number ot` accom- modations for these early cases. and further, that thc ratio of discharges shall be about two ond one-half patients per bed per year, the total nulubcr of patients. not including advanced cases, treated any one year would he forty, a small number com- narcd with the probable number need- ing such care.
At this point thcrc are two import-
ant problems that present themselves:
First.-.The one ol' reserving the
determined quota of beds for the early cases.
Second.--I-low best to obtain the
largest results i'rom the material nt hand.
\Vhere there has been no previous
sauatorium accommodation on the island it is not at all unlikely that there are quitc s unmber of advanced patients waiting for an opportunity to avail themselves of the advantages of hospital care in the sanatorlum.
lt is quite probable, therefore, that
by far the largest part of the early applications for admission will be made up ot' these rather advanced cases.
Unless there is some well defined
policy on the port of the sanatorium as to the proportion of each class of patients, thatshall be admitted. and unless suc_h‘ a policy is scquiesced in and.:-supported by the physicians and people of the island, both in letter and splrit,- it is not at all unlikely that you shall find your ssnatorlum. from the beginning, converted into a hos- pital for advanced consumptives.
There should, therefore. be a well
defined and constant policy regarding the actual number of each class of patients t.o bo admitted. and each ease should no Judges no-folly “nfl impar- tially upon his or her own particular merit as coming trader any particular classification. without any reference whatever to political or-other expo- dienoy.
The sanatorium will find great difli-
culty in carrying out such a desirsbl policy unless it can count on the moral 'support and active cooperation of the medical fraternity; and I have no doubt but that it may be counted
to uphold. both in letter and any plan that has for its and ultimate object the best of all.

merchant ships, publlslletl to-night, concludes as follows:
“Great Britain has always, when
neutral, accorded to vessels of other states at war liberty to use the British (flag as a means of protection against capture and instances on record when United States vessels availed thom- selves of this facility during the Am- erican civil war. it would be contrary'
r
action. The British Government have no intention of advising merchant .ships to use foreign hogs as a general practice or to resort to them other- wise than for escaping capture or de.
struction. The obligation upon belli- gerent worships 'to ascertain for them- selves the nationality and character of a vessel before capturing. sinking
QUIVUCAL
or destroying it has been universally recognized. li' that obligation is ful- filled the hoisting of u neutral flag on board a British vessel cannot possibly endanger neutral shipping and the British Government holds that if loss to neutral ships is caused by disre- gard of obligation it is upon the enemy vessel disregarding it_and upon the Govermncnt giving orders that it should be disregarded, that the sole responsibility for injury to neutrals ought to rest."

They should see that their conlpatriotsgwho had gone with the contingent to tight the battles of Canada and the Empire in the trenches should be efficiently equip- ped. They should hew to the line. let the chips fly where they might. How- ever. both the manufacturers and the officials involved should be treated fairly and justly. -
Sir James Aikius, who had .moved
that Mr Middlebro be appointed chair- man. said- that he presumed that the inquiry should be immediate and as thorough as possible wlththe avail- able evidence. They should discover if there had been any dereliction of duty either to the disadvantage or dis- comfort 6f"lh€CiiTadl§n troops.

SUMMARY 0F THE SITUATION.
(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON, Feb. 19.-The British rc-
ply to the American note on the use oi` the American flag by the Cunard Line steamer, Lusitsnia, and the de cislon to hold the cargo of the Amer- icon steamer, Willielinlna, to thc Prize Court were tellvcred to W. li. Page, American .\m,basso.dor, to-day. ‘The notes make it clear that while there is no intention to resort to thc use of neutral flags generally, Great Britain thinks neutral countries should not grudge ships this privilege in view ot' Germany’s threat to destroy' British sen commerce, and further, that in view of the latest German policy of sen warfare, Great Britain contem- plates declarlng all foodstuffs to Ger- many absolute contraband.
Both notes. are of u conciliatory
character, that in reference to the use of the American flag points out that thc Unitcd States resorted to the use of the British flag under similar cir- cumstances during the civil war and if Germany follows tho usual custom of ascertaining definitely the nation- ality ot' ships stopped by her warships no damage can be done to neutral ves- sels. The detention ot' the Wiluol- mlna's cargo, which is to bc sent to thc Prize Court is justified on the ground that Germany has placed all groin and flour in the Empire under Govornnlcnt control.
As yr-t Grout Britain has not llc-
finitely announced llcr promised retu- liatory measures against thc Germnu submarine blockade which now has been in force two days and which, so far, resulted in torpedolng by German submarines two vesesls, the French steamer Dinorah and the Norwegian steamer Bclrltige. Both vessels wcro damaged, but reached, port. Some Danish vessels were unable to sail yes- terday owing to the refusal of their ,crows to move them. This was over- come to-day and most of thc Dutch lines sailed under thc Govcrmncllts insurance scheme.
l"ight.ing ill the \Vt-st. consisted largo-
ly of attacks by Germans in their cf- forts to rocovcr trenches which they losl. during thc Allies’ offollsivt: lust Tuesday and Wcdllesduy. Tho (lor- mans claim their attacks wcro success- ful whereas British and Frcnch ro- ports say that all the ground gained has been consolidated by them. Tlic Gcrman army which drove the ltus- sians out of East Prussia has occu- pied the Russian town of Tnuroggen on the East Prussian frontier. North oi the Niemen Itiver but elsewhere in this region the Germans apparently have been halted by the arrival of Russian reinforcements.
