Th xvRtfm. which , is new, has been evolved after long: investigation by the engineers of the postoffice. Many trial runs . have been made on an experimental track at Woolwich, in which the gauge, gradients and radii of curves of the actual line were reproduced, and these tests have shown that the method is capable of achieving all that is required. The first section of the line extends over six and one-half miles from the western terminus at Paddington dis trict postoffice to the eastern district postoffice at Whitechapel. The tube will not only link up these two offices but also the western district and western central district postoffices. the western parcels post, the mail sorting office at Mount Pleasant, the new general postoffice, the north western railway through the Broad- street terminus, and the Great East ern railway. To avoid other tube lines the depth of the railway from the surface varies between 28 feet and about 90 feet. TRADE CONDITIONS ACCEPTED DY SOVIET Reported Proposal From Brit ain Announced. KRASSIN PLANS NEW TRIP Charges of a- serious nature have been brought against the Pierce Sanatorium for disabled veterans, lo cated at Hillsdale, by L. B. Baketel, president of the Portland Association of Fathers of Soldiers and Sailors of the U. S. A., in a letter to the U. S. Public Health Service. The most serious charges are that meat which was served the 44 sol dier patients in the institution was unfit for human consumption; that sanitary conditions are poor; that the buildings are inadequately protected against fire, and that the care given the patients does not correspond to the expense involved to the govern ment. Dr. Edward Allen Pierce, owner and medical director of the Pierce Sana torium, last night branded the report as "absolutely false in part and gross ly exaggerated in every particular." Further than that, he immediately announced his determination to have a thorough and complete investigation of the Baketel charges. He at once forwarded the following telegram re questing investigation to Hugh De Valin, United States public health eervice. Seattle, Wash., who, as super visor, has jurisdiction over this dis trict:. "Charges against Pierce Sanatorium .have-'becn given newspaper-publicity. In justice to all concerned I ask. that a public health service officer con versant with tuberculosis hospitals be cent hero immediately to conduct Investigation." "I remember the meat episode men tioned in the letter," said .Dr. Pierce. "It was an unfortunate occurrence that happened while our regular chef was away. The meat was to have fcecn served cold. During the time that -it was being prepared a small part of the meat became spoiled and was sent up through carelessness to the patients by the assistant chef. This was something that could not have happened had our regular chef been there. As it was the circum etance was investigated immediately.' Acts and reports of government health officers who have been in touch with the sanatorium were also cited as disproving the criticisms made public in the letter. Mr. Baketel states that charges he makes are based upon personal in vestigations that he made on June 30. His letter to the United States public health service, directed to Major .Kichey l. Waugh, of Portland, fol lows in part: Baketel Makes Charges. "Kindly permit me to make the fol lowing report to you regarding con ditions as I understand them to exist at the Pierce sanatorium, where today there are 44 rormer servjee men suf fering from tuberculosis, who are there by the suffrage of the govern ment and for each of whom the gov i ernment is paying the Pierce sanato rium $4 per day. "Some weeks ago I received word that the food served the soldiers was not fit for humans. At the time I ' doubted the statement. Just a few' (lays ago. however, some meat was brought to me which had been taken ; from the patients' table. The meat was turned over to a local meat in spector who said that if it was con sumed by humans it probably would not harm them, but he would not eat It unless starving or blindfolded. "On June 30 I visited the sanato rium to learn first hand what condi tions really are. They could be worse, lint not much. From a standpoint of sanitation I doubt if there is another institution in Oregon its equal. v "Service for the patients is not'what one has the right to expect for 4 per day. The private patients, of whom there are 10, and who are charged $6 per day, receive the same treat ment as the former service men. If the nurses would talk, their story, I understand, would be the same thing. 'The patients want to complain, but do not dare. I am informed that whenever a patient does complain way Is found to rid the institution of that particular person. "There is a decided lack. of -needed and necessary equipment. But one bed in the entire institution has rubber roller casters. When the other beds are moved they must be picked up and carried, patient and all. The building is a fire trap of the worst kind without fire protection. There are a few fire extinguishers, but they would amount to nothing. ,If the building, which was formerly a sum mer residence, should catch fire ii the center of it, the patients, most of whom are in bed. would be ab solutely cut off as there is no possible means of escape. They would be like . rats in a trap. Is it for such as this ' that the government of the United States pays $4 per day for each man? Other Charge Possible. "This is a rough sketch of the con ditions as I have found them. There is more to be said, but this shoiuld be sufficient. The Association of Fathers of Soldiers and Sailors of the u. S. A. has taken up the cause of these boys in dead earnest. We propose to see it through and if noth- , ing else will do, we shall demand grand jury investigation with its ac companying publicity. These boys must be given clean, wholesome food and have sanitary surroundings. It is a demand we have a right to make. "I -would respectfully ask that you give this complaint every pos sible consideration and that it be for warded to the surgeon-general of the United States. Following receipt of the above let ter at the local office of the public neaitn service, Kichey L. Waugh sistant surgeon in temporary charge notified Mr. Baketel that the letter had been forwarded through the proper channels. It was the expressed opinion of Dr. Waugh, who has come in contact with numbers of the discharged patients leaving the institution, that most o the complaint springs from patient ; who are just about to be discharged. ana who are very hard to please. "I talked with several of these men , who had been discharged," said Dr. vvaugn, -and they expressed them selves as being satisfied with th treatment in general received at th institution.

They gel no further than middle age before they find that the weighty cares of a family and the sreat nerve strain of modern life have used up the iron In their blood and broken down their physical health and strength. While others as old or older in years but with plenty of iron In the blood still have the vigor and endurance of ear lier days, these thin-blODd-ed. run-down parents no longer can call up the energy and power to do their daily tasks and master their prob lems. The mother loses her pride and her Joy in running the home and looks pale, haggard and worn. The father loses his am bition for work, his endurance and his self-confidence, and is nervous, worried and always tirfd. Thev are fast on their way to become what every true American dreads most to be a dependent on others. They are the men and women who crowd the sanatoriums with middle aged nervous wrecks. They are the par ents who simply by allowing their blood to run low In iron, force sons and daugh ters to give up plans and hopes in life, take care of father or mother and end up as soured and disappointed bachleors and maids.
