PARIS, JUNE 21.
TO-DAY THE WAY 15. CLEAR FOR AN ASSIZE COURT TRIAL BY JURY THAT WILL MAKE LEGAL HISTORY FOR THAT THE SUIT TRIBUNAL AND FOR FRANCE.

Recently married, the defendant wrote, during a honeymoon spent in the region, a series of articles for the. French Press in which she made charges of cruelty and misconduct against the warders collectively, basing her charges on infor- mation obtained from prisoners.
The matter first came before a lower court on the instructions of one warder who had been asked by his colleagues to net for them during his holiday in France.
The court took fifteen days to consider its i ruling on the point of law as to whether, being

TUBERCULOSIS
TOLL HALVED
Londen, June 26: Slr Kingsley Wood, the Minister tho of Health; commented on stendy decline in tuberculosis in this country when laying the foun- dation stone of a new Nurses' Home at Papworth Village Settle- ment, near Cambridge.
Sir Kingsley said that tubercu losis was no longer the great white plague; it was curable, if taken in time.
In 1911, before the solting up of the National Scheme for com- bating the disease, there were over 63,000 deaths from all forms of tuberculosia. In 1935 the deaths had declined to some 29,000.
It was a proud boast of Pap- worth that not one of the many children of tuberculosis parents who had lived in the settlemonti -had-developed the disense.

lle Goldfields was found not guilty of the murder of another miner through evidence proving that jacketed bullets fired at close range. can have effects similar to those caused by n "dum-dum."
The question whether the man had been shot from behind or in front-was-the central point of the trial, and the prosecution's conten- the belief, tion was based on "which is widely held, that bullets make a small wound on entry and A plea of A large one on exit." aelf-defence was advanced for the ¡defence.
"I came to the conclusion that the Crown medical witness was wrong in supposing that the small wound is ecessarily the ane by which the bul- Osborn writes. let entered," Dr. "Contrary to the general belief, a large entrance wound is the rule with ritle bullets fired at close range; and during the late war such wounds ofich gave rise to unfounded accust- Lions that the enemy was using dum- dum.bullets.
NO NEED TO BREAK LAWS
To get the effect of a dum-dum," the comment on Dr. Osborn's article
continues, "is ordinarily quite easy. There is no need to break Internation- al conventions by cutting the hard Jacket off the bullet's point: all that, is necessary is to use a rifle of high muzzle velocity at short range, or a firearm of low muzzle velocity with a soft lead bullet."
"The "dwn-dum" bullet, the article continues, is of use mainly in the hunting of large and dangerous anl- mals, but "the line between legitimate and illegitimate is so slight that Bri-
tish prisoners came near to execution by the Germans in 1914 because they carried the regulation soft lead bul- lets for their service revolvers! Tho objecttori to the dum-dum seems in fact a little unrealistic.

There may be a very little hole in front, he said, but I have frequently seen on the other side a holo ns big as both palma.' "The real objection to Lord Mottis- tone's argument is that he suld noth- ing about the havoc wrought by the standard jacketed bullet from the or- dinary Service ride. The Jacketed bullet fired at high velocity (over
con 2,300 feet per second) wounds as serious as any dum-dum, its exact effect depending mainly on the distance it traverses,

The regulation British Service: rifle bullet may thus reproduce the damage done by a dum-dum; but even If this is avoided the desiruction of 1ssues along its track can be at legst as disastrous."
